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!

Step into Rhythm Island!
Shed calories as you explore Konami’s musical paradise in Step to the Beat on Wii
Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH has revealed it will release an all-new fitness game concept for the Wii this March, in the toe-tapping form of Step to the Beat.

Step to the Beat charges users with continually moving to explore a vivid island while listening to a host of well-known licensed tracks. The game can be played by holding a Nunchuck and Wii Remote while walking on the spot, or by walking on a DanceDanceRevolution controller mat or Wii Balance Board. Using these motions, keeping the rhythm is key, and the combination of walking, music and exploration results in a varied and fun way to exercise. This simple concept makes Step to the Beat accessible to absolutely anyone, but has been designed to constantly surprise and enchant as players spend longer on the game.

You know, there have been some pretty bad commercials for Wii products…But I think this might be one of the best ones I’ve seen so far for a game. You can tell Capcom put a lot of effort into this and stop-motion animation can be a pretty tedious process. Hopefully the commercial will convince a few Wii owners to buy Tatsunoko vs. Capcom!

“The article quoted Nintendo President Satoru Iwata’s comment accurately.” – Asahi Shimbun statement

Looks like this is turning into a real mess. First the Asahi Shimbum conducted an interview with Iwata, who apparently said that the next DS “[will have] highly detailed graphics, and it will be necessary to have a sensor with the ability to read the movements of people playing.” However, as we know, Nintendo of America said that Iwata was misinterpreted and that he “did not make any comments regarding the functions of Nintendo’s future hardware systems.” Who should we believe?
