This week’s additions to the Wii™ Shop Channel are bigger, stronger and faster. It’s all about excess with these electrifying titles. A new WiiWare™ offering puts you behind the wheel of a high-octane racer with no regard for speed limits. A classic Virtual Console™ game transforms you into a larger-than-life beast with a massive appetite for mayhem. Whichever you choose, there will be no skimping on the action.
Nintendo adds new and classic games to the Wii Shop Channel at 9 a.m. Pacific time every Monday. Wii owners with a high-speed Internet connection can redeem Wii Points™ to download the games. Wii Points can be purchased in the Wii Shop Channel or at retail outlets. This week’s new games are:
ReWind may not be dead after all
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 0 comments
Some of you may recall the game ReWind, an on-rails shooter thatTwo Tribes announced a few years ago for the Nintendo DS. Information has been laying on the company’s website for years, without a single update. Just recently, however, a new press release has been sent out which seems to reveal that ReWind is still alive and kickin’. The odd thing about the whole situation though is that the press release includes no new details about the game. Generally speaking, press releases are meant to discuss the features/gameplay elements of the title, yet Two Tribes has not done so with its latest press release.

New Thunder Force game in development
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
A brief post on TecnoSoft’s webpage shows that a new Thunder Force title is coming. No information other than the image posted above is shown, so any details like a timeframe for additional information, general gameplay facts, and system the new game will be releasing for are all conspiciously absent. TechnoSoft has released games in the series for the SNES and PlayStation, so the Wii and PS3 are most likely the best possible candidates for the release of the new Thunder Force game. However, that’s not to say that it’s impossible the title will not release for the 360, and it could very well go multiplatform.

XSeed Games have two surprises for E3
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
E3 is renowned for surprises and this year looks like the trend will continue. XSeed Games, the company that has worked on titles such as Victorious Boxers: Revolutions and the up and coming Little King’s Story, will have two surprising elements in their E3 lineup, according to Siliconera. The website notes, “They have two things in their E3 lineup you won’t be able to guess, one announcement that floored me…” This bit of information obviously does not mean that the surprises are Nintendo related, but we’re keeping our fingers crossed that XSeed Games will show support for the big N.
