Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 8 Comments
To celebrate the release of Resident Evil 5 on Friday, March 13th, Capcom and our friends at GameStop are throwing a launch party! On the eve of the launch, Thursday the 12th, meet us at Union Square in San Francisco to usher in Resident Evil 5. The event kicks off at 8pm and ends at midnight when you will be able to pick up your game- in-between we’ll have plenty going on to keep you busy. For starters, there will be a whole tent dedicated to the game where tons of kiosks will be set up and players will get a chance to get their hands on the game before grabbing it at midnight. You’ll also have the chance to win prizes and giveaways, meet the development team including co-producers, Takeuchi-san and Kawata-san and hang out with the motion capture/voice actors that played Chris, Sheva and Josh. To top it all off there will be new game announcements, stage shows, and Resident Evil activities all through out the night.
In order to guarantee you get the game at midnight, please stop by the Powell Street GameStop before the party to get your game transaction processed. You will need to get your proof of purchase wrist band and receipt for the GameStop store in order to pick-up your game at the party.
Also make sure to get there early as there will be limited space and we want to make sure you all get to enjoy the party!
Just to re-cap the details: be at Union Square in San Francisco by 8:00pm. I highly recommend getting there EARLY. We’ll party until midnight, then you can get your copy of the game with proof of purchase at the Powell St. GameStop. See you there!

Rumor: Nintendo struggling with Wii MotionPlus development
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii | 8 Comments
Initially, Nintendo’s Wii MotionPlus was scheduled to launch in Spring, but that no longer seems to be the case. Nintendo has even failed to mention it in some of their latest press releases, which does bring up some suspicion regarding the peripheral’s status. According to IGN’s Matt Casamassina, Nintendo has been having a few issues with Wii MotionPlus.
“When I got wind that the DSi announcement which turned out to be pretty accurate…At the same time I heard that Nintendo was internally struggling with Wii MotionPlus and trying to figure out a few hiccups…And that they were going to delay the release of it all the way past June. And also Wii Sports Resort which would be like an eight game title, it would have eight games in it, not ten, and that would also be delayed a little bit…The only thing I got was vague and was like, ‘Oh, they’re having some hiccups in development.'” – Matt Casamassina, Nintendo Voice Chat podcast 39
