“They have some issues incorrect. You’ll see in a couple weeks.” – Christian Svensson, Corporate Officer/VP of Strategic Planning & Business Development

Here’s the lowdown on Resident Evil: Archives. Over the weekend, an unconfirmed report was discovered claiming that a package of classic Res would be launching in June for $29.99. However, Mr. Svenson says there are some inaccuracies with that information. Looks like we could be in for some confirmed details at CAPTIVATE 09.

“The amount sold in March will be a direct reflection of the current demand levels for the Nintendo Wii, which appears to still be considerably strong. While for most consoles this demand level would normally decrease over time and be revived via a price cut, we do not believe this is the case with the Nintendo Wii. We expect sales to remain strong from month-to-month and any dip in demand will be rejuvenated with the release of highly anticipated titles such as EA Active, Punch-Out and the release of the Wii Motion Plus accessory.” – Analyst Jesse Divnich from the Electronic Entertainment Design and Research

EEDAR Hardware Estimates

Wii – 900,000 (24.83%)

Total 2,545,000 (13.87%)

Deep in the pages of the latest Game Informer lies something that gets Wii owners very excited; Punch-Out!! Info. The most recent issue of the magazine previews two new characters, both of which are from classic Punch-Out!! games: Bear Hugger and Don Flamenco.

Don Flamenco

– First seen in Punch-Out!! (Arcade and NES)
– Taunts you into fighting, then counters with a “maraca uppercut”
– Don will taunt with an “Uno, Dos, Tres”, (One, Two, Three) and then unleash three hooks followed by an uppercut
– Knock off Don’s toupee to really get him mad

Bear Hugger

– First seen in Super Punch Out!! (Arcade and SNES)
– Often shows off his belly moves
– His bear hug makes a return
– Still makes his raspberry face

And classic character Pitfall Harry Jr. makes his debut on the Virtual Console.

Nintendo adds new titles to the Nintendo DSi Shop and the Wii Shop Channel at 9 a.m. Pacific time on Mondays.
