GameFly hints at Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands platforms
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 2 Comments
Right now, we don’t know much about Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands. Ubisoft has said that the game will continue the Sands of Time storyline and that it “is scheduled to be released May 2010 for consoles and handhelds.” Unfortunately, the company has yet to specify which systems the title will land on. GameFly, however, has provided a clue as to where it’ll end up.
According to the retailer, Forgotten Sands will be releasing for the Wii, DS, PS3, Xbox 360, and PSP. I’m inclined to believe this information because GameFly has been spot on with things like this in the past. But seeing as how Forgotten Sands will be present at the Spike TV Video Game Awards tomorrow night, it’s more than possible that we’ll receive a confirmation about this information very soon.
Thanks to TJes for the news tip!

Square Enix believes Wii 2 would be boring if HD was the main hook
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 2 Comments
“”If the only real difference were the change from SD to HD, that would be rather boring. But we both know, Nintendo wouldn’t be Nintendo if they didn’t add something extra, and we’re already looking forward to finding out what [it is]” – Square Enix, Akitoshi Kawazu
I don’t think Wii HD would be boring, and in fact, I hope to see support for it in the next Nintendo console. However, I definitely agree with Kawazu that HD functionality alone would be boring. I’m sure Nintendo is considering some new hook for their next console, though.
