RUMOR: Developers unable to price their own WiiWare titles?
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii | 1 Comment
Target Toss Pro: Bags was announced today via an IGN interview. The basics of the game were discussed, though when pricing was brought up, Andy Kniaz of Incredible Technology noted, “In the end, Nintendo sets all pricing for WiiWare based on the game and its contents.” From what I can recall, weren’t developers able to ultimately place a price point on their own games? Are there exceptions to this? Or, is this nothing more than an error on Andy Kniaz? Either way, I’m sure we’ll find out in due time.

Nintendo Power leaves mysterious clues for next issue
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 7 Comments
In the June issue of Nintendo Power, the preview teases its subscribers with, “As we head into summer, expect things to heat up with Nintendo Power. July’s issue will include big updates of Ghostbuster’s, Sonic Chronicles, and Time Hollow. We may even have a surprise or two. Can you find the clues we’ve hidden in the moon?”
I’m pretty awful at breaking down mysteries, so I’m not too sure what Nintendo Power may have in store. If anyone has a guess, feel free to leave a comment.

SimCity Creator 26-Sep NDS
SimCity Creator 26-Sep Wii
These two listings apparently popped up and were discovered in a European release listing. It is possible that the DS game could be the title that was released in Japan not too long ago, but what lays in store for a Wii version is up in the air.
