This information comes from the Capcom-Unity forums…

“For the foreseeable future, SSFIV is only on Xbox 360 and PS3.” – Christian Svensson, Corporate Officer/VP of Strategic Planning & Business Development

“Although every console partisan is bigtime into exclusives, Capcom tries to support all consoles. If you look closely at our lineup, I’d say we’re among the very best 3rd party developers at it too. No plans for Alpha 4 regardless.” – Capcom’s Senior Manager of Community, Seth Killian

Nintendo hosted another retailer briefing today in Japan. One of the major highlights at the event was Shigeru Miyamoto playing and demonstrating New Super Mario Bros. Wii to attendees. While going through the game, Miyamoto made a comment about his anticipated feeling of the title’s sales.

“It’s a Mario that will continue selling even after one year has passed.”

All sorts of Nintendo software – especially games on the Wii and DS – have had long legs. With the first New Super Mario Bros., for instance, only around 10.3% of the title’s sales came in the first week. And surely New Super Mario Bros. Wii will be a top priority, as Satoru Iwata explained a few months ago that the game as seen as a key title for the company this holiday. Iwata does indeed have high expectations for New Super Mario Bros. Wii., and had also pointed out that he believes it can “surpass 10m copies worldwide in the whole fiscal year.”

Check out this blurb from a 1UP preview of Cave Story…

“At this point, Cave Story is a practically done deal. Sure, Nicalis has been saying that for a year now, but this time they can back it up. Rodriguez pointed out a few minor bugs in the demo version as I played — trivial issues, like a misplaced line of dialogue — but clarified that we were looking at an older build of the game. The current version, he says, has made it through its complete reprogramming and visual facelift (courtesy of original Cave Story creator Daisuke “Pixel” Amaya) and is currently working its way through Nintendo’s approval process. Assuming all goes well, Cave Story will be up for download within a matter of weeks.”

Cave Story is supposedly releasing this month in Europe and Q3 in North America. We’ve been waiting for the game for quite awhile, but it’s almost here!
