Also, machine now self-aware, intends to take over world

IRVINE, CALIFORNIA – FEBRUARY 3, 2009 – Atlus U.S.A., Inc. today announced that its central supercomputer, tasked with planning and scheduling upcoming Atlus titles, recently suffered a critical hardware failure, rendering the planned launch dates for a small handful of Atlus games obsolete. As technicians scrambled to repair the mainframe, hoping to minimize fallout, they discovered that the machine had become self-aware and was plotting to take over the world.

“Unfortunately, a few Atlus titles will have to be slightly rescheduled as to their date of release, but the changes will be minimal. Also, every working day for us passes in constant fear, terror, and paranoia with the knowledge that our primary computer is now plotting to destroy us,” commented an Atlus engineer on the subject of release date changes and the now-sentient supercomputer with a hunger for manflesh.

Yesterday, LucasArts revealed in the Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings press release that the Fate of Atlantis would be included in the game. However, many assumed that the bonus would be included in every version of the game. A publicist has clarified the situation and it looks as though the assumptions were incorrect. Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis will be exclusive to the Wii.

The NEW PLAY CONTROL! series from Nintendo features Nintendo GameCube classics updated for Wii! New features, new experiences and, most importantly, new ways to control the games are waiting for you, whether you’re new to the titles or have played the originals on GameCube.

For NEW PLAY CONTROL! Pikmin for Wii, the biggest control change concerns targeting. In the GameCube original, Olimar’s target moved where he moved, which made for some difficult aiming when precious seconds mattered. But with NEW PLAY CONTROL! Pikmin for Wii, targeting is as easy as pointing at the screen with the Wii Remote. Read on to find out some specifics about how NEW PLAY CONTROL! Pikmin makes the experience of leading Olimar’s armies more intuitive than ever, and remember you can get the full run-down on what’s new when the game’s official microsite launches at nintendo.co.uk later this week!

All of this information comes from EA’s conference call…

“It is absolutely going to be the quality of fear factor of the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions.” – CEO John Riccitiello

EA CEO John Riccitiello “excited” about new tennis game for Wii from EA’s Sports Active line.
Three buckets: Xbox 360/PS3; Wii; online. Wii is a “major initiative.”
“We’re launching Tennis initially Wii-only,” says Riccitiello.
“We’re bringing core intellectual property to the Wii.” First example? Dead Space, coming to Wii this year. No-brainer after how Res Evil 4.
EA CEO on Wii market share: five percent revenue growth, no market share growth. Hoping to add a percentage point, though.
Strong emphasis on Wii quality intended to deliver games that “will rival Nintendo in terms of quality.”
“Wii is the market leader–they’re getting half of our emphasis in terms of title count.”
“We’re bringing core intellectual property to the Wii.”
