Nintendo has announced that Pokemon Rumble will be releasing on the Wii Shop Channel this coming Monday for 1200 points. Also, Nintendo Power has shared an interesting piece of news. According to the magazine, there will be a demo of the game, which confirms that Nintendo will be supporting samples of WiiWare titles in North America. A few weeks ago, Satoru Iwata said that Nintendo was considering demos, but at the time, it wasn’t clear if they would only be made available in Japan.

At E3 this year, Shigeru Miyamoto told reporters at a roundtable event that there would be no online support for New Super Mario Bros. Wii because the game uses all of the console’s processing power. But apparently there’s more to it. On the Nintendo Channel, there is an interview with Miyamoto and he once again talked about the lack of online play. Apparently Nintendo concentrated on local multiplayer only because “it’s more fun if you can see the face of the other people you are playing with.”

“Naturally, Nintendo uses the Internet now and with Super Smash Bros. Brawl we had a game you can play with other people, wherever they are. There will probably be people asking why we didn’t do that with this game as well. Well I think it’s more fun if you can see the face of the other people you are playing with, which is why we concentrated on this design this time.”

About a week ago, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime said that New Super Mario Bros. Wii will outsell Modern Warfare 2 on one system by the time the January 2010 NPD sales data report is published. But today, he discussed long-term sales of both games in a recent interview and made a comparison between the two titles. Here’s Fils-Aime’s response when asked if he was surprised by the success of Modern Warfare 2.

“You know, I was not. We know that it’s a high-quality title. We know that it will do exceptionally well. Their challenge is going to be sustaining that. It was so big so fast, what happens next week and the week after? Versus Mario is going to sell for high numbers every day now through, really, for the next couple of years.”
