Nintendo’s WiiWare conference disappoints
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 2 Comments
Nintendo was almost on a roll, but no more surprising announcements were revealed by the company at the second part of their North American autumn press conference. On the bright side, World of Goo was given an official release date – October 13 – in addition to the confirmation that Tetris Party will be launching “very soon” and will be a global release. Boingz, from Real Networks, was the only other title shown.
So no 2D Zelda WiiWare game or any first-party Nintendo title based on an established franchise. However, these past two days have been filled with ton of exciting information. It was much better than E3, if you ask me!

Nintendo not handling Fatal Frame IV publishing?
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 2 Comments
Interesting. While Nintendo has published Fatal Frame IV in Japan, that doesn’t seem to be the case for North America – that is if the game ever even reaches the states. When pressed about Fatal Frame IV, Reggie Fils-Aime replied, “you’re going to have to contact the publisher for questions on that.” So, Nintendo isn’t handling Fatal Frame IV in North America? Or is the game simply doomed for a Japan-only release? Hopefully more specific answers will be found in the near future.

Nintendo North American conference part 2 tomorrow: WiiWare
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
Nintendo heavily covered the DS and Wii in terms of new hardware and retail software, but news was fairly quiet on WiiWare. However, news may be expected tomorrow. The second day of Nintendo’s media event kicks off tomorrow at 9 AM PST which will focus on WiiWare.
New Super Mario Bros. 2 WiiWare? Pikmin WiiWare?! Nothing at all? Who knows, but the announcements may not be over.
