Thanks to Thomas N for the tip!
Apologies for the low-quality of the trailer. I’m assuming it was taken directly off the Nintendo Channel, so when Nintendo uploads the video to the official site, it should be in higher-quality.

Japanese poll: Only 8.8 percent want to buy 3DS
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 6 Comments
The DS has sold incredibly well in Japan since it was released in 2004. That doesn’t mean that gamers are necessarily anticipating Nintendo’s next handheld, however.
1,059 people provided some responses in a goo Research poll and more than 42% of them said that they have purchased a DS. But when 702 of the participants were asked about the 3DS, only 8.8 percent indicated that they “want to buy” it. 55.8 percent, while interested in the system, stated that they do not plan on purchasing it for now and the remaining 35.3 percent just aren’t interested in the system at all.
What about you guys? Are you waiting to hear more about the 3DS before you really consider picking up the handheld? Or are you already convinced that you’ll be buying it when it comes out?
5th Cell not ruling out a Scribblenauts Wii
Posted on 14 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in News, Wii | 2 Comments
“I think a Wii version could happen. It’s all about the fans – if the fans speak up and continue to buy and play the second one like they did the first one, I don’t see why we couldn’t make a case for a Wii version.” Scribblenauts creative director Jeremiah Slaczka
I would be completely in support of a Wii version of Scribblenauts! I think the game would lend itself really well to the IR pointer, and think of how many items you could hold on a Wii disk!
Nintendo blames piracy for 50% drop in game sales (UK)
Posted on 14 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in General Nintendo, News | 5 Comments
Nintendo is always on the lookout for pirates, and just last week they shut down a Japanese game store for advertising that they sold R4 cards. Once again Nintendo is trying to fight pirates by revealing that (according to them) a 50% drop in European game sales is due to people using flash cards and such to illegally obtain games. Apparently Nintendo loses trillions of yen every year from pirates, and have also discovered 238 million cases of software pirating in just June of last year.
I’m not sure if I’d believe that there was a 50% drop due to just piracy alone, but I guess Nintendo probably knows more on the subject than I do!

Robox screenshots, details
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 2 Comments
– 4 big, connected ‘worlds’, Metroid-like. Some puzzles, exploration.
– 3 main stages to progress into the story: forest, cave and jelly
– Gameplay depends on the stage: more shooting, more platforming, etc.
– The fourth one takes place inside the robot and you won’t control him. Find the other creatures (see them on the screenshots) and use them. Each one has different abilities and you need them to unlock every path inside the robot.
– Following one path or another, Robox habilities will evolve in different ways (not yet revealed)
– NES style controls: jump, shoot and use abilities (8 in total).
– Wiimote movements to do other things. Jump and move downwards to squash.
– Many checkpoints because the game is actually hard. Your live bar can take 3 shots.
– 6 hours without exploration and evolution, but this game is deep.
– Development is almost completed. Testing stage.
Thanks to Sergio F for the news tip!
