Metroid: Other M, Super Mario Galaxy 2 releasing between June and August
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 2 Comments
Although Nintendo of Australia’s media summit was rather uneventful, there is some exciting news to share. IGN is reporting that both Metroid: Other M and Super Mario Galaxy 2 will be released sometime between June and August. Unfortunately, exact dates were not provided, although that information will most certainly be revealed in the coming months. If I had to guess, Sin and Punishment 2 will launch in North America in April/May, Other M and Galaxy 2 in the summer, and if we’re lucky, Zelda Wii sometime during the holidays.

Mark Serrels, an editor for the Official Nintendo Magazine in Australia, just tweeted the following…
“Not seeing metroid until the US summit. What an absolute jib.”
According to Serrels, Metroid: Other M will be featured at North America’s Nintendo summit tomorrow. IGN’s Matt Casamassina seemed to strongly believe that the title would be there, although now it seems much more likely with this news. Hopefully the Big N will have a new trailer or footage to share.

Namco Bandai recalls Tales of Graces

Tales of Graces, which released in Japan this past December, is being recalled by Namco Bandai due to an abundance of bugs. It is said that these bugs occur mostly on “New Game+” replays, so it’s a good thing they’re being replaced! Plus, this also means that the bug will (hopefully) not be present in the North American version of the game.
Ubisoft: There’s no point in doing realistic looking Wii games

“Why compete with the 360? The Conduit is a great example. Talk about an incredible piece of technology. Those guys did an amazing job of modernizing the Wii engine. It’s got to be frustrating for [Conduit dev, High Voltage]. Gamers will see the flaws, not your work. They’re not going to see all the effort you put in. Any developers working on the Wii, I recommend you stylise the look because it helps. I think it looks cool anyway.” -Red Steel 2 Creative Director, Jason Vandenberghe
You know… I hate to admit it, but I almost have to agree with him on this one. Just looking at how The Conduit’s visuals were received, and then seeing the praise given to games like Red Steel 2 or No More Heroes, it’s hard to disagree! Plus, I do prefer my games a little on the unrealistic side.

WiiWare Grows over 30% to Nearly $60 Million in 2009
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
February 22, 2010 – Forecasting and Analyzing Digital Entertainment, LLC (FADE) has released its annual report for 2009 for Nintendo’s WiiWare and Virtual Console services. FADE estimates that the two platforms combined for $125 million in revenue in 2009, with the holiday rush just giving Virtual Console the edge over WiiWare ($66 million to $59 million).
While WiiWare grew by over 30% in 2009 compared to its launch year, Virtual Console slid almost 25% in 2009, leading to an small overall decline of 6% year-over-year. The main factors for the decline in Virtual Console revenue are an overall weaker and less numerous release schedule in 2009, combined with a promotion by Nintendo to give away a free NES game to Wii owners who had purchased the Wii Internet Channel – leading to over 500,000 free downloads.
