Update: Here are some pictures to the doubters out there…

Even though today’s date would indicate otherwise, the revelation of a new Silent Hill game for Wii is not actually an April Fool’s Joke. Nintendo Power’s cover story this month is Silent Hill: Shattered Memories. Tomm Hulett, producer of the game, says that Shattered Memories “is a reimagining of the first Silent Hill.” Hulett wants gamers to know that “it’s not a remake or a port.” He goes on, “That’s an important distinction. It really feels like a new game.”

Thanks to Jake for the news tip.

Since last E3, Nintendo has said that more Mario and Zelda games are in development and therefore can be expected in the future. Speaking with Japanese magazine Famitsu, Shigeru Miyamoto has reiterated the same message.

“I want to make games that are intuitively fun and haven’t been done before; games that make you enjoy owning a DS and glad there’s a Wii in your home. From that perspective, I think we need more ‘clutch’ games like that. We’re making Mario and Zelda too, of course, so don’t worry.”

Miyamoto doesn’t make it clear on whether or not he was referring to The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks or a new game for Wii. However, it would be pretty safe to say that a Zelda title for Nintendo’s console is in development as well.

Pub Company® presents a new generation of video games in San Francisco.

Password: innovation and… mental control!

A new generation of video games called “iii™” (Immersive Individual Interaction™) is born: from the revolution in classic Tetris to the first video game with “mental control” ready in Winter on Nintendo Wii™

The seventh video game era began in 2005 with the launch of the Xbox360® followed soon after by the PlayStation® 3. Now, thanks to the innovative game concept presented by Pub Company®, we can thus consider another step towards a new era. We are talking about the “3i™” or “iii™” (Immersive Individual Interaction™) generation in which interaction is absolutely original (the players define the interaction with the game and not vice versa through body or mental control) and “immersive” (the type of interaction is not “player’s finger – joystick button” but participation and sensorial, physical and mental immersion of the player).
