Theme Parks’ Guests to Experience Wario Land: Shake It!’s Game-Play Features and Compete for Prizes

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Nintendo and its favorite antagonist, Wario^™, have teamed up with Six Flags to take over 10 theme parks throughout the country this September. In celebration of the release of Wario Land^™: Shake It!, the new game for the Wii^™ console, Nintendo will be giving park guests the opportunity to check out the game and win prizes.

Wario Land: Shake It! plays like a classic side-scroller, but incorporates motion-controlled elements: Players shake the Wii Remote^™ controller to help Wario shake down enemies for coins or tilt it to help him decide where to toss them. The game launches exclusively for Wii on Sept. 22.

“Wario Land: Shake It! is a game that everyone from veterans to newcomers can enjoy,” said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “Partnering with Six Flags to bring the title to theme parks nationwide is a great opportunity for consumers to experience the game and rediscover the franchise at a place that is designed for fun.”

A Japanese website has posted that Nintendo has penciled in a conference for this October. Although this information has yet to be confirmed, especially since there is no “true” source behind the posting, there is a pretty high possibility that the information can be correct. Nintendo held a conference in Japan last October, where the company revealed Monster Hunter 3 would be releasing on Wii. If the event remains true, the conference would take place just a few days before the Tokyo Game Show. Although it’d be best to take this rumor with a grain of salt, don’t rule it out completely – at least not yet.

Thanks for the tip, Josh!

Team17 confirmed today that an Alien Breed remake is in the works. Other than the next year release window and the release of the official logo, no other details were discussed. A WiiWare release would seem like a viable option, but the developer’s also have the option of putting out the remake on the XBLA and PSN too.

This past Thursday, the NPD data showed that the DS had yet another astronomical month. Even though the DS Lite released well over a year ago in North America, Nintendo managed to sell another 518,300 system units. By doing so, the DS Lite has broken a record previously held by the PS2: The most amount of units for a system sold in August. Sony previously held on to the record with 454,300 PS2 units sold. It may also be worth noting that the Wii almost passed that same record as well, with 454,000 Wii consoles.
