IRVINE, CA – May 02, 2010 – LITTLE ORBIT (www.littleorbit.com), the worldwide publisher and developer of entertainment products for the casual video game marketplace, will be showcasing their debut release, Busy Scissors®, at the 2010 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles. The company also has plans to reveal several unannounced products.

“E3 has always been about high energy and product innovation. It’s the perfect place to unveil Busy Scissors,” said President Matthew Scott. “We’re excited to be able to contribute to this year’s exciting roster of ground-breaking releases that will be showcased at the trade show.”
Little Orbit collaborated on Busy Scissors, the world’s first and only industry-backed hairstyling and simulation video game, with Toni & Guy Academies, TIGI and Bed Head to integrate actual hairstyling practices and virtual items from their product lines into the game play. Busy Scissors is scheduled for release on Nintendo Wii tm and DS tm later this year.


In the world of downloadable video games, this week’s forecast calls for nonstop showers of awesomeness. A flood watch is in effect as heavy levels of high-quality digital entertainment threaten to disrupt boredom and bad moods across the country. Gale-force fun is expected as games like Ferrari GT: Evolution, System Flaw Recruit and Scrabble™ Slam! arrive via the Nintendo DSiWare™ service. Wii™ owners are advised to stock up on snacks and fresh batteries for their Wii Remote™ controllers, as new titles for the WiiWare™ and Virtual Console™ services may keep them confined to their living rooms for quite a spell.

Meanwhile, the “Big Name Games” section of the WarioWare™: D.I.Y. series continues to offer new downloadable microgames created by the industry’s most talented designers. This week’s entry comes from Edmund McMillen of Team Meat, the studio behind the upcoming Super Meat Boy, which launches for the WiiWare service this summer. New “Big Name Games” will be added every Monday through July 26, all available to download for zero Nintendo DSi Points™ to anyone with broadband Internet access and a copy of either WarioWare: D.I.Y. for the Nintendo DS™ family of systems or WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase software for the WiiWare service. Visit the Nintendo Channel on your Wii system today to learn more about these games and to see a video of Edmund McMillen creating his original microgame, Meat Boy!

While the delays of Metroid: Other M and Sin and Punishment: Star Successor dominated the news yesterday, there were a few important tidbits of information buried in Nintendo’s latest press release. First, in case you missed it, Nintendo shared dates for a number of WiiWare/DSiWare titles. You can check out the release right here. Nintendo also announced that Photo Dojo will be free to all users for one month when it becomes available on DSiWare. Last but not least, Nintendo revealed that Rittai Kakushi e Attakoreda is coming stateside. The title, which is a “unique take on hidden picture games” was released in Japan not too long ago. DSi owners can expect the game to be released on June 14th.
