Every so often, Nintendo publishes an updated release date schedule of sorts that comes alongside a financial report. The company has decided to send out its most recent schedule, which includes dates for Wii/DS products in North America, Europe, and Japan. You can check it out below (and above!).

Update: Looks like the title is related to Lord of Vermillion, a card game.

Square Enix seems to have taken a liking to teaser websites over the past few months. Most recently, the company kept Final Fantasy Gaiden: Four Warriors of Light under wraps, but then revealed the mystery a few days after. Today, however, Square Enix brings gamers a new teaser site. There isn’t much to it – There’s a notice that says “VII Days,” but that’s about it. A countdown timer can also be seen (and is apparently part of the VII Days”), which has over eleven days left on it. Perhaps we’ll receive more information once the time expires.

“We think that a rebound in Wii hardware sales is possible only with price cuts or a more attractive software bundle. At its current run rate, Nintendo is tracking to sales of only 12 – 15 million Wiis, compared to its reiterated guidance for sales of 26 million. An increase of this magnitude is possible only with a more attractive software bundle or a price cut. We think it is likely that Nintendo will experiment with alternative bundles, possibly including a Wii Sports Resort bundle or a Wii Motion Plus bundle in the next several weeks…We think that Nintendo’s reiteration of its Wii hardware guidance indicates its intention to cut price on the hardware prior to holiday. Should alternative bundles fail to sufficiently drive hardware sales, we think that the company is in a good position to drop the price of the Wii to below $200. In our view, a price cut on the core DS unit to $99.99 is possible, should Nintendo decide it is necessary to achieve its shipment forecast.” – Wedbush Morgan Securities analyst Michael Pachter

According to Mr. Pachter, if Nintendo were to cut the price of the Wii to below $200, the company may decide to take the original Wii Sports out of the package.

Up to this point, DSiWare in North America and Europe has been littered with overpriced applications and mediocre downloads. Hudson, however, is looking to change that in the near future – At least with their own support. Mike Pepe, Director of Marketing, has told Siliconera that they are “going to be pushing DSiWare pretty hard.” As things stand now, the company is looking to release four or five titles for the service, which will either be based on typical Hudson games and new IPs.
