Perhaps in an effort to continue their ongoing momentum, Nintendo has announced three new DS Lite colors will be releasing in Europe: red, turquoise and green. Gamers can expect the new colors to show up at retailers June 13th.

Nintendo has bluntly admitted – more than a few times – that Project H.A.M.M.E.R. was shelved. Because of this, people have given up on what appeared to be a unique title. However, an updated European release date listing shows that Project H.A.M.M.E.R. is still alive, and oddly enough, still on track for this year. It’s difficult to believe that the game is still in development and even has a chance of coming out this year based on the facts, but knowing that Project H.A.M.M.E.R. is on this release list is an encouraging sign.

Also worthy of note on the list is Animal Crossing, Disaster, Wii Music, and Pokemon Platinum for the Nintendo DS.

While Beautiful Katarmai was never actually confirmed to be coming to Wii (strong hints pointed at a release, however), we now know that any possible project involving Katarmari is no longer in existence. Walmart sent out emails to its customers, informing them that the game has been canned. It’s a shame, since the type of gameplay found in Beautiful Katamari would work very well on Wii.

“People always use that [Grand Theft Auto] as an example of violence in games. But I don’t think there’s anyone who takes their job as seriously as the guys who make that game. You only have to look at all the detail in there. I believe we’re following morality as well in only showing violence between combatants. I think the ‘violence issue’ is something that is within each individual who plays the game.” – Tomonobu Itagaki

I have to agree that Rockstar Games does develop some amazing games – almost as if they were made at a pinpoint craft. Unfortunately, individuals will go against these types of games and will even go as far as to blame particular violent acts committed in real life on violent titles.

Ubisoft may finally be abandoning their notorious “Petz” label for their own developed camera. On May 9, the company registered the “Play CamCam” trademark most notably for “games software and electronic game programs” and “cartriges for console and individual, portable gaming systems.” Ubisoft is known for strictly publishing and developing software, so for the company to allow itself to step outside familiar territory could end up being dangerous. Nonetheless, it’s interesting as to what Ubisoft plans to use the camera for. Could we be in for a “Pets: Dogz Camera” title?
