Retro revivals:

Sonic Unleashed
Tecmo Bowl: Kickoff for Wii/DS
Alone in the Dark
Tetris Wii
Alien Crush Wii
Bomberman Wii
Space Invaders Extreme

Rumors:

– Rock Band 2 with new modes
– New Castlevania for DS, Wii, and a 3D 360/PS3 game

Reviews:

Mario Kart Wii – B+, C+, C
Good: A few great new tracks and powerups
Bad: Dumbed-down gameplay, predictable design

Blast Works: Build, Trade, Destroy – A, A-, B-
Good: Rich level/object editor
Bad: That’s pretty much if after beating the campaign

Castle of Shikigami III – C+, C+, B-
Good: It’s a shoot-em-up on Wii
Bad: It’s too short and too tough

Myst – C-, D, D
Good: Some of the new tools help
Bad: though most of them are useless

Super Dodgeball Brawlers – C+, C, C+
Good: A content-rich remake, new special moves
Bad: Short on bells and whistles, outdated presentation

I know a lot of people would be more than pleased to see Castlevania on the Wii. The new game title (Castlevania Jugement) that was discovered not too long ago may give this rumor a bit of validity. All we can do is hope for the best and wait to see if Capcom has anything in store.

DS

Super Dodge Ball (E)

WiiWare

Magnetica Twist (E) – May be a Wii game
Family Ping Pong (E)
Pop (E)

If Magnetica on WiiWare is able to replicate the gameplay that can be found on the DS, I’m sure that this will be one title I’ll pick up on the Wii Shop Channel.

“Our earnings projection for the year is not based on hardware price cuts, and I don’t think we are going to need them.” – Satoru Iwata, President of Nintendo

With the Wii and DS Lite continuing to perform well in the market, it would not be a wise move on Nintendo to cut prices on their systems at this point. If by some unknown reason the Wii and DS falter, Nintendo could try a number techniques to boost their sales (such as bringing it new colors.)
