Bioshock architect Kev Levine, is, believe it or not, a very big fan of the Zelda series. Levine spoke about his relationship with his “first super-serious girlfriend” and how he came to lose her. And of course, Zelda was at the heart of the problem. Rather then spending time with his girlfriend on her last day in San Francisco, Levine purchased the first Zelda game and spent fifteen hours of playing on his NES instead.

“After I graduated from college, I moved to an apartment in San Francisco with the first super-serious girlfriend. She was a couple of years younger than me, so at the end of the summer, she was set to go back to school. On our last day together in San Fran, I for some reason picked up The Legend of Zelda. As she stood by waiting for some romantic gesture to happen on our last day living together, she was instead treated to watching me obsessively plow through Hyrule for around 15 hours. By the time the cab showed up to take her to the airport, I realized if I had any hope of keeping her as my girlfriend, it was time to shut off the NES. Needless to say, we didn’t spend the next summer together.”


Back in February, it was announced that Smash Bros. creator Masahiro Sakurai would be opening up a new first-party team, Project Sora, in conjunction with Nintendo. It’s still unclear what title Project Sora is working on, although Satoru Iwata stated awhile back that it will be “an experience that’s different from anything [you’ve played] up until now.” While we continue to wait for more concrete news concerning the new game, you can check out the first pictures of the dev studio.

Following the disappointment regarding the lack of downloadable content for The Conduit, High Voltage Software announced that such things would be implemented in their future titles on Wii. As of now, however, the company is not entirely sure how this will work as far as Nintendo’s DLC system, and is looking at exactly what aspects they can take advantage of, and what parts will need to be worked with.

“…we are still evaluating what Nintendo’s DLC system will allow us to do. Once we figure that out, I can better explain our plans. We do want to use DLC. We are planning on using it at this time, but until I know the specifics of how Nintendo is going to enforce their DLC parameters I cannot be 100% as to how we will take advantage of it. ” – David Pellas, High Voltage

Yet again, a staff member from High Voltage Software is talking about some previously mentioned unknown game that the company is working on (presumably on Wii).

“Thanks for all the enthusiasm guys! Ill forward all your comments to the Grinder producer. Like Prem said, im currently not on Grinder or Gladiator so im not as “to the second” as I was on Conduit but I will make sure your comments are heard. All I can say about what im working on is “really guys, you haven’t seen nothin yet…”

What could this mystery game be, I wonder? The Conduit 2, perhaps? Or maybe something entirely new?


Ever since the game’s announcement, many rumors have circulated about a possible Wii version of Modern Warfare 2, much in the same way that Call of Duty: World at War was ported to Wii. Listings on Amazon-esque websites, as well as various comments from gaming outlets regarding the game are just the start of the rumors, it seems, as Australian game store JB Hifi has an entire section dedicated to the pre-orders of Modern Warfare 2 for Wii, including a custom made pre-order box art for the supposed game.

Modern Warfare 2 Wii?

Not only is the box art present, but the store is actually accepting pre-orders for the game itself, further reinforcing the idea that it is indeed coming. In addition, there have been reports of other, smaller gaming outlets taking pre-orders for the game, which serves as a focal point for the Wii-owning hopefuls.

The chances of a Wii version of Modern Warfare 2 coming out are pretty high at this point, and even neglecting the pre-orders, there isn’t much of a reason for Activision not to release one. World at War sold well on Wii, and it is likely that (if they improve their late ad campaign strategy) that Modern Warfare 2 would do the same.

What do you guys think?
