While scrolling through the Wii News Channel this morning, I stumbled upon a news article that is one of many that continuously have me baffled. Apparently, 30-year-old Michael Ray Ekes was arrested for grand theft auto this past Thursday. Ironically, when deputies went in his house, they found Ekes playing the video game Grand Theft Auto (it didn’t say which). What bothers me about this is that the press continuously tries to connect the playing of video games to committing crimes, which is definitely a false connection! Does anyone else get annoyed when critics of video games do this?

Nintendo of America has filed a new trademark for Luigi’s Masnion, which does not have any connection to the title for the GameCube. It’s possible that Nintendo will be releasing a New Play Control! version of the game. Or, if we’re lucky, perhaps Nintendo Dream will unveil in their next issue. A man can dream, can’t he?!

This information comes from SEGA’s official Twitter…

“Nothing concrete is really known about the game yet is it? It could be on anything!…Nothing is ever confirmed until we confirmed it.”

SEGA wouldn’t say if Project Needlemouse will be coming to Wii last year and, as you can see, they’re still not ready to talk. Hopefully we’ll hear something from the company soon.

Last year, Nintendo filed a Japanese trademark for something called The Last Story. It isn’t clear if the title is a Wii game, a DS game, or nothing more than a concept. Even though we’re still in the dark about the whole thing, we do have a little bit of additional news to share with you today.

Nintendo has registered the same name in Europe, along with something called the “NINTENDO device.” I’m not sure if Nintendo has plans for The Last Story to interact with the device, but it seems like it could be an interesting idea!

Thanks to Gui for the news tip!

Jan 11, 2010 – Nintendo UK announces a breakthrough partnership with Change4Life, the national campaign run by the Department of Health, to support and encourage families in changing to a healthier, more active lifestyle.

Creators of the smash hit home and handheld consoles, Wii and Nintendo DS, Nintendo has led the way in creating a brand new genre of active video games, a phenomenon frequently termed ‘exer-gaming’, making them an ideal partner to talk to families across the UK and promote Change4Life’s ‘Up and About’ and ’60 Active Minutes’ messages.

“In terms of pre-order bonuses, do you know about the Lunar Collectors Edition? Or how about the exclusive Ragnarok Online accessories for your online avatar by pre-ordering Ragnarok DS at participating retailers? We are also currently looking into a pre-order bonus for Fragile Dreams as well.

And yes, we have some titles beyond Q1 which we haven’t announced yet. We will probably make an official announcement within a month’s time or so about our upcoming lineup.” – XSEED rep

I’m really interested to see what XSEED has in store this year. You never know what title they’ll localize for the American market. Even though XSEED lost Muramasa and Arc Rise Fantasia, they’re still a very competent publisher.

“I’m preaching to the choir on this one, but Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop definitely got a bad rap. If you stop counting the number of zombies on the screen and just play, you’ll have some fun. People couldn’t help comparing it to the X360 game, which I can understand, but it did okay at retail, so I’d put this in a grey area.” – Seth Killian, Capcom’s Senior Manager of Community

“… (I’m) happy to say there’s something else distinctly demake-esque coming soon. Of course, there’s also Mega Man 10, which isn’t so much a demake as a straight up high-five to the joys of classic gaming…” – Seth Killian, Capcom’s Senior Manager of Community

Mr. Killian had a few other things to say as well. Capcom will be busy with retro revivals, remakes, new IPs, and possibly new hardcore Wii titles this year. Additionally, the company is working on a surprising motion control project that Killian believes “nobody will see coming,” although it may not be Nintendo related.
