As months go, August isn’t exactly a huge time for new releases on Nintendo consoles. That’s not to say that there aren’t any upcoming games for Nintendo fans to keep an eye out for this month, it’s just a bit thin when compared to what’s coming this Fall/Spring. Anyway, what are the few games to look out for this August? How much longer do us poor, neglected PAL regions have to wait for them to come out? And why is the current US president in the header image? Read on for the answers.

XSEED Games Announces Gold Status and Ship Date For Ivy the Kiwi? for Wii and Nintendo DS

Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 0 comments

Torrance, Calif., (August 6, 2010) – XSEED Games is pleased to announce today that Ivy the Kiwi? has gone gold and will begin shipping to retailers across North America August 24th, 2010. Ivy the Kiwi? will be available on Wii for the suggested retail price of $29.99 and on Nintendo DS for the suggested retail price of $19.99. Developed by PROPE, the development studio led by the legendary creator of Sonic Yuji Naka, Ivy the Kiwi? is rated “E” for everyone.
An eye-catching game inspired by classic children’s tales and hand-drawn art, Ivy the Kiwi? follows the storybook adventures of lonely baby bird Ivy as she traverses beautiful 2-D landscapes and challenging obstacles in search of her mother and identity. In a nod to classic adventure tales and heroines before her, Ivy begins her journey against great odds and with a grand entrance—a great fall from the sky. From the forest floor amidst a bed of leaves, her journey begins. It becomes quickly apparent that Ivy is alone. Frightened and unable to fly, she sets off through a dreamy forest on foot—or is it claw? Many creatures peek from behind leaves and rocks to investigate the mysterious little creature, but none with the same fiery red coloring as she. As she wanders, Ivy stumbles upon a single red feather, the first clue to her mother’s whereabouts and the catalyst of the little heroine’s quest.
