TOMY Corporation today released a variety of tips and tricks to help players as they embark on a quest to save Gaara from the sinister Akatuski organization in the recently released action adventure title NARUTO™ Shippuden: Ninja Council® 4. As each level presents its own challenges, players can determine which character’s unique jutsu is best suited for the obstacle at hand. For instance, Naruto’s Toad summoning jutsu helps players get to high, hard to reach places.

The game is the first Nintendo DS title to feature the NARUTO Shippuden story arc in North America, allowing fans to play as Naruto and his friends in the next generation of the series.

Grand Theft Auto has graced Nintendo platforms in the past. The series landed on the Game Boy Advance and most recently, the Nintendo DS. One request that seems to be universal amongst fans, however, is to see a GTA title on the Wii. And now Take-Two has commented on the possibility of that happening.

“Nintendo’s been a terrific partner for us. We always look at ways in which we can bring our games to platforms that make sense for our games. We’re eager to work with Nintendo to bring our games to their platforms. We just haven’t yet defined the right title for the right platform.” – Ben Feder, CEO of Take-Two

You might also be interested in knowing that Take-Two doesn’t seem to be disappointed in sales of Chinatown Wars. Better yet, the company isn’t ruling out future GTA titles on the system.

“The DS, typically, has longer legs in the sales cycle. We’re very pleased with how that game is continuing to sell in the market; it will be in the market for a long, long time to come…When we’re ready to announced it, we’ll announce it. Right now Rockstar’s focus is on The Ballad of Gay Tony episode, Red Dead Redemption and Agent.” – Ben Feder, CEO of Take-Two

Former IGN Nintendo Team editor Daemon Hatfield is receiving quite a bit of backlash for a few harsh Wii comments on a recent Game Scoop! podcast. Mr. Hatfield moved to a different section of IGN a few weeks ago, but he still contributes to the Nintendo scene with occasional contributions such as reviews.

You can check out a portion of what was said on the podcast below, although to obtain a better understanding of the situation, we recommend that you listen to the podcast.

“Because the Wii is stupid, Levi. No, because any games that are coming out for the Wii are going to be dumb.Yeah, the Wii is stupid. Super Mario Galaxy 2 will be another great game that should be controlled with dual analog sticks…I know. Like even when they make a great game like Mario Galaxy I don’t want to hold the Wii remote. It’s stupid.”

There have been a number of Wii fans that were upset by Daemon’s words and opinions regarding the podcast have picked up a bit over the last few days (including message board topics and reader mail on the latest Nintendo Voice Chat podcast). In response, Daemon wrote a blog post explaining his stance (full post here).

“On the IGN podcasts you’ll find the editors at their most relaxed, casual, and honest. It is, in fact, the perfect environment for me to share my opinion that the Wii is stupid. And that’s all it is: my opinion. What do you care if i think it’s stupid? I’m not pushing an agenda. I’m not trying to take your Wii away from you. If you’re happy with your Wii, that’s great.”
