For most small video game developers, WiiWare is the perfect platform for releasing new titles. However, that doesn’t mean that some of the more famous companies, such as Konami, aren’t considering the service as a reasonable means of shipping out new content for gamers. Speaking with MTV, Castlevania’s Koji Igarashi expressed interest in WiiWare. “I’m definitely interested in WiiWare and I think it’s one of the areas that 2D can still be very strong at. I’m very much looking into that.”

Rygar for Wii seemed to disappear off the map a few months ago; As such, people began to doubt whether or not the game was canned. A Tecno representative has commented on the situation, however, and confirmed that in spite of no news, the game is still in development. The same PR represnetative additionally commented on the lack of Fatal Frame 4 at E3, noting that it was up to Nintendo to show off the title. “Several of you asked about Tecmo’s other titles that have been announced in Japan which were not on display at the show. Fatal Frame 4 (Wii) will be published by Nintendo, so please contact your Nintendo PR contact for further information.”

Most would say that this year’s E3 was lacking something. Compared to previous years, the renowed gaming convention simply wasn’t as exciting as it used to be. Although I was lucky enough to receive an invite from a Nintendo to view their media summit, I was unable to go…I’m not sure if the same thing will play out next year, but you – the fans – might get a chance to attend.

“The ESA is currently in the process of receiving feedback and will make an announcement about the 2009 E3 Media & Business Summit at an appropriate time.” – ESA

“We have said publicly that we’re looking hard at the storage situation, that we’re working on a range of solutions. We have nothing to announce now. But certainly it’s an issue we are aware of and we’re working to find a solution and we will.” – Reggie Fils-Aime

I don’t know about you guys, but by flash memory has maxed out. Numerous Nintendo representatives, including Cammie Dunaway, have made disheartening comments that the Wii should be like a virtual fridge, but I just don’t understand how that is a manageable solution. An HDD would definitely fix this situation, but opening up the SD slot directly would help as well.
