“We think the Wii audience is perfect for the kinds of games we make, orientated towards story and characters and casual play – a sofa expeience if you will – and WiiWare is an amazingly effective way to reach that audience.” – Telltale’s design director

I know that they are two different people, but it is kind of funny how one Telltale developer says that the Wii is less powerful than an iPhone while their design director believes that their games are “perfect” for Wii.

nintendo_release_july_09-1

Every so often, Nintendo publishes an updated release date schedule of sorts that comes alongside a financial report. The company has decided to send out its most recent schedule, which includes dates for Wii/DS products in North America, Europe, and Japan. You can check it out below (and above!).

Update: Looks like the title is related to Lord of Vermillion, a card game.

vii_days_square_enix

Square Enix seems to have taken a liking to teaser websites over the past few months. Most recently, the company kept Final Fantasy Gaiden: Four Warriors of Light under wraps, but then revealed the mystery a few days after. Today, however, Square Enix brings gamers a new teaser site. There isn’t much to it – There’s a notice that says “VII Days,” but that’s about it. A countdown timer can also be seen (and is apparently part of the VII Days”), which has over eleven days left on it. Perhaps we’ll receive more information once the time expires.
