9 February 2011 – Nintendo today announces that Wii has generated strong sales in 2010, outselling any other home console on the market. With total Wii sales of 5.44 million systems in Europe for calendar year 2010, the European installed base for Wii now stands at over 26 million. These European Wii owners will be enjoying a strong line-up of game releases in the first three months of this year with games ranging from Kirby’s Epic Yarn to Mario Sports Mix.

The cute and adorable Kirby returns after almost a decade in a remarkably stitched together world of fabric and thread in Kirby’s Epic Yarn on 25 February and the recently released Mario Sports Mix sees Mario return in an action-packed sports frenzy for all your friends and family.

Sales of Nintendo DS consoles also reached new heights in 2010, selling 6.69 million units; in the calendar year 2010, more than any other home or handheld console. Nintendo DS owners can look forward to the upcoming Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version, which launches across Europe on 4 March. Enjoy new Legendary Pokémon™, new heroes, a surprising new region, plus new ways for you to have fun and communicate locally as well as through the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service. Both games also launch as part of a limited edition bundle which comes with a Nintendo DSi console and Pokémon Black Version or Pokémon White Version.

I have a feeling there’s some sort of mistake here… Or, something somewhat strange going ono! The 3DS is, of course, launching in March 27th in North America, not March 25th. And, generally, third-party games release on Tuesdays (except for system launches). I don’t know why PES 2011 would come out two days earlier than the 3DS, but we’ll see what happens. Perhaps I’m over-analyzing things!

KONAMI today revealed that Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 3D (PES 2011 3D) will be released alongside the Nintendo 3DS on March 25th across North America, and is a truly immersive soccer title for the new format. The new game retains the Pro Evolution Soccer series’ acclaimed level of control and realism, but the 3D imaging capabilities of the Nintendo 3DS enhance the experience by giving real depth to its many searching passes, long crosses, and interplay of passes.

PES 2011 3D puts you at the heart of every pass, through-ball and shot, with its unique ‘Player’ camera shadowing the user’s every movement, right in the middle of the unfolding match. Thus, players can see their teammates making runs in the channels and moving into space, meaning PES 2011 3D makes the player an integral part of a successful team. Using the 3D capabilities of the Nintendo 3DS, the camera views also allow the user to visually ascertain how far away a teammate is, which allows for more instinctive long passes and dynamic movement.


– Cameos: Idolmaster’s Haruka, Chihaya and Maki, God Eater’s Shio, Tekken’s Heihachi
– A jet from Ace Combat may be in the game
– More cameos from Taiko Drum Master, Soul Calibur, Xenosaga and Mr. Driller
– Namco Bandai recreating the special forms and gestures of players
– Real bats and gloves recreated as well
– Dream Pennant mode set up like a board game
– Different events in the mode
– Play matches as well based on where you land on the board
– Spaces on the board for training your players and shopping for player cards
