Rumor: Character model from Kid Icarus leaked
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii | 12 Comments
The latest rumor surrounding Kid Icarus is that the character model from the game has been leaked. Before anyone starts going crazy, let me point out that this is just a rumor. We don’t know if this is really a possible character model Factor 5 would have used/is using for Kid Icarus on the Wii, nor do we know that this is even real – Hence why I marked this as a rumor. With that said, I personally have mixed feelings about the character model. I’m not really loving it, but it’s not the worst thing I’ve seen either.
I’m about 90% sure these videos are Spyborgs pre-overhaul. When we see official videos from Capcom, chances are the next footage will be different than the early footage below.

Kate Winslet is just one of the many celebrities who have shown interest in the Wii besides the likes of Queen Elizabeth II and Miley Cyrus. Winslet says she was playing Wii Sports Tennis with her son when her husband told her that she received a few Oscar nominations. She also loves to watch her son play Wii Sports Boxing.
“It was extraordinary (hearing news of Oscar nominations). I was playing Wii Tennis with my son…It is fantastic. I’ve gotta tell you, it is so fantastic. And the boxing. The boxing is the funniest thing of all because you’re boxing the air…I’m watching my little five year old go like this [Winslet makes boxing motions] over and over and over. It’s hysterical…”

Iwata: Wii can pass install base of PS2, E3 2009 software shown will help to achieve goal
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 6 Comments
“What we are looking at are the cumulative Wii and DS sales through the end of 2008. Wii has been selling at industry’s record pace so far, and with new customers acquired by the gaming population expansion efforts, it is not impossible for Wii’s total sales to exceed the final install base of PS2. Wii still has much more room for expansion. We can expect more sales of software in the next fiscal year than in the current year. With what kind of software is Nintendo going to achieve this goal? Well, it will be shown at E3 to be held in the U.S. this June.”
Okay, so who wants to start guessing what software will be present at this year’s E3? I’m not entirely sure myself, but at least we know Nintendo will probably have a more exciting show this year than they did last year.
