“I overheard at TGS that WiiWare is a bust for a lot of third-parties…sales in the hundreds.” – Shane Bettenhausen, 1up editor

Wow, I’m not too sure why, but it’s difficult to imagine a title selling that poorly. On the other hand, I’m sure you guys could agree that there are some low-quality titles on the service. I’m sure that for some games are experiencing more than average sales figures such as Mega Man 9.

Project H.A.M.M.E.R. has had an interesting development cycle, to say the least. Nintendo first unveiled the title way back at E3 2006, stating that it would be an original IP that the company would bring to Wii. Since then, there’s been murmurs that the game was canned. Then in May, NGamer said the title was still alive and was being worked on. Shigeru Miyamoto, however, recently responded when asked about the game. Here’s his take:

“[says he is not part of the development team and really cannot comment] (…) What I can confirm here is that only when Nintendo can become almost certain of the timing of the launch we are able to make the relevant launch announcement of the software.”

Miyamoto also commented on 3D gaming devices. Perhaps surprisingly, he would not be thrilled with such a device if “goggle-style” gear was needed to be worn by the player.

“Nintendo is always trying to construct the framework in which we can provide… we can be as creative as possible in order to create as new entertainment as possible. And that’s what Nintendo has been striving at and that’s what Nintendo will be challenging itself once again in order to make unique entertainment opportunity. But if I can just add my personal opinion: if the new environment requires the player to wear some goggle-style, I really don’t have a good impression of that.”

San Francisco, Calif. – October 23, 2008 – “Are you seeing this, General? – My people are all dead! What the hell did you lead us into here?” – Major Kane.

Mastiff and Renegade Kid are proud to announce that they have teamed up with writers James McDonough and Adam Patyk (Hellboy, Transformers and much more) of THE ENEMY to turn the dark and twisted storyline into something even more ominous.

“Working on Moon has been an absolute blast,” said writer Adam Patyk of THE ENEMY. “The fantastic gameplay and striking graphics are some of the first things you notice about the game, and that played a big role in why we were so excited when Mastiff asked us to get involved in helping to refine the characters and story for Moon.”
