Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Rumors, Wii | 4 Comments

It’s been more than fourteen years since the Virtual Boy was launched, but according to GAME LABO, the device is being revived for Wii. The Japanese magazine noted in its rumors section that Virtual Boy 2 is in development for Nintendo’s console and that it will be released this year. Personally, that doesn’t seem probable, but you never know, right? GAME LABO also had a few other Nintendo-related rumors, which we’ve posted below.

* The budget-priced games from game company [S]’s [D] series releasing on 03/04 will have a brand new method of copy protection against backup devices.

Nintendo renews Eternal Darkness trademark

Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 1 Comment

According to Siliconera, Nintendo renewed their Eternal Darkness trademark in North America one week ago. While it is true that no major news often comes from re-registered trademarks, it’s possible that Nintendo is considering a remake or revival through a port of the original. However, Nintendo’s New Play Control! line seems somewhat dead, as North American gamers are still waiting to see titles such as Pikmin 2. I suppose we’ll just have to wait and see what happens over the next few months.

Nintendo of America holding media summit on February 24th

Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 2 Comments

I think it’s pretty safe to say right now that the Big N has some important news to discuss. The first Nintendo-related tease we heard about was from Nintendo Dream, which involves the magazine unveiling a new game in a popular franchise this month. Then we heard about Nintendo holding a media event in Europe, followed by teasers from Nintendo Power and the Official Nintendo Magazine. Now IGN has confirmed that Nintendo of America will be holding their own media summit on February 24. We’ll find out what all of this is about in roughly two weeks.
