SEGA – We’ll still support Wii with hardcore content

“You will see more — I wouldn’t say Mature as in M — but you will see more definitely more hardcore games from us on the Wii platform.” -Mike Hayes
I couldn’t care less if games were M rated or not. The terms “hardcore” and “mature” get used so interchangeably sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference, but I’m glad to see that SEGA isn’t stuck in the mindset of “M rating = Quality”.

Spyborgs will be releasing early
Posted on 15 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in News, Wii | 2 Comments
Today we’re announcing that Spyborgs will be dropping a week earlier than originally announced. The Wii-exclusive brawler will now ship on September 22 in North America for an MSRP of $39.99.
This is great news for anyone looking forward to the game, and with the reduced price this is certainly worth a look for anyone that hasn’t been paying attention to it!

Nintendo of Canada- There are no plans to replace Wii Sports with Wii Sports Resort
Posted on 15 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in News, Wii | 3 Comments
“The long-term plan is difficult to say, but I can tell you that there are no plans to make Wii Sports Resort what is packed in with the Wii purchase. What is in the Wii box will remain the same. Wii Sports Resort will not replace Wii Sports. The intention with Wii Sports was to provide an out of the box experience for consumers and we want new consumers and non-owners to experience that just as everybody else has.” – Nintendo of Canada’s Matt Ryan
I’m honestly quite skeptical of this. A WiiMotion Plus+Wii Sports Resort bundle just seems like the right way to go if Nintendo wants to get the device implemented. Of course, this wouldn’t replace Wii Sports in any way, the Wii would just come packaged with 2 games. This would also reinforce their earlier statement about not dropping the price of the Wii in the near future.
In addition, NoC also stated that Nintendo would be supporting MotionPlus fully with many titles implementing the device.
“…in the future, yes, definitely Nintendo will be putting out a lot more games that use Wii MotionPlus, especially when it’s a game that warrants that type of experience and that type of precision.”
Capcom and Nintendo working to strengthen their relationship
Posted on 15 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in General Nintendo, News | 1 Comment
Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles, Zack and Wiki, Resident Evil 4, Monster Hunter 3; All of these are great Wii titles released by Capcom, and it looks as if the Wii-love from the company won’t stop there. Not only has the next Devil Kings game been confirmed to be on Wii, but an article on Nihon Keizai Shimbun today revealed that Nintendo and Capcom are going to begin working closer together than every to bring anything from fantastic game launches (like the one we saw in Japan for Monster Hunter 3) to game demos and much more. No word on how Nintendo is going to be helping out with all of this, but you can be sure that with their tendency to do fantastic game launches and promotions for their own games, whatever they have cooking is something big.
