Aardman Animations making Raving Rabbids show
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 5 Comments
According to a job listing found for animators, Aardman Animations is making a new television series based on Ubisoft’s Raving Rabbids franchise. Aardman is mostly known for their claymation work on Wallace & Gromit as well as other project, but the company released its first computer-animated creation, Flushed Away, in 2006. The listing noted that the show will be “a live action / CGI mix”, and indicates that it is an in-house production. That’s the only information we have at the moment, but we should hear additional news in the near future.
Nintendo of America aware of 3DS conference, but not sure what will be announced

This information comes directly from a Nintendo of America customer service representative…
“Thank you for writing. There will be an announcement on September 29th, 2010 regarding the Nintendo 3DS, however, we have no details regarding what that announcement will be. Be sure to frequent our official website, www.nintendo.com, for all the latest Nintendo news and information.”
I honestly have no idea what will happen come next Wednesday. There has been so much speculation all over the place that it’s driving me nuts. Will this be only Japanese related information? Will new games be announced? Will this be a 3DS-only conference? So many questions! It’s a good thing that we’ll only have to wait a few more days to find out some details.

Nintendo quiet about Wii Remote Plus
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 1 Comment
Below is an official statement from Nintendo of America in regards to Wii Remote Plus…
“We have nothing to announce at this time.”
For whatever reason, it appears Nintendo wants to keep this news a secret for the time being… Even though it’s not really a secret anymore. Interestingly, GameStop has removed the listing for FlingSmash/Wii Remote Plus. The game is coming out in about a month and a half, though, so Nintendo will have to say something soon!
Rumor: Level-5 is making the next Ace Attorney game

“Huh? Oh, Gyakuten XX. I’m making it, with Mr. Takumi!” – Level-5’s Jiro Ishii’s Twitter
I positively love the Ace Attorney series, and while the Perfect Prosecutor spin-offs are very good games, I really feel the need to get back into the defendant’s booth and cross-examine some dudes! I really hope this ends up being true, because Level-5 is a great developer who I know could do wonderful things with the Ace Attorney name.
Side note: “Gyakuten XX” is the Japanese name for the series.
Epic Mickey pushing Wii to its “ultimate limit”

This information comes from Epic Mickey producer Raul Ramirez…
“We do have such a great experienced staff at Junction Point that we were able to, as we feel, push the Wii to it’s capability and ultimate limit and provide a beautiful story for the player to jump into. We are fortunate enough to have such great staff and we have a lot of years experience in the gaming community that they’ve just pushed the Wii to its capability, to its absolute max, in order to provide what you’re seeing in front of you.”
I definitely get the feeling like Warren Spector and his team have a very strong passion to bring a high-quality title to Wii. Let’s just hope it pays off in the end!
