“You’ll have to get it [Monster Hunter Classic Controller] from an import shop. Neither MHG or that controller is coming to the US. Sorry.” – Christian Svensson, Corporate Officer/VP of Strategic Planning & Business Development
It is a bit unfortunate that North America will miss out on Monster Hunter G, but at least Monster Hunter 3 has a good chance of heading stateside.

Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 3 Comments
North America has traditionally been the first country to receive the Metroid Prime games, but in the case of the original remake for the Wii, gamers overseas will have to wait a bit longer compared to Japan. The Metroid Prime remake has been given a February 19th release date. The obvious attraction here is that the game will make use of the Wiimote and nunchuck similar to Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. A true 16 x 9 mode and some finer textures are expected to be present in the game as well.

Release Date: March
Genre: Racing
Platform: Nintendo Wii
Rating: PEGI 3+
Developer: Milestone
Price: TBCGame Description:
The first officially licensed MotoGP title ever for the Nintendo Wii platform, MotoGP turns the Wii remote into a virtual set of handlebars to deliver the definitive two-wheeled racing experience.
The development team’s overriding aim is to deliver an unparalleled handling model that allows access points for gamers of all skill levels and just as importantly provide a challenge to meet each player’s abilities.ALL 3 MOTOGP CLASSES
MotoGP for Wii puts the player at the centre of the world’s premier motorcycling championship by letting them join a team and compete alongside their sporting heroes in all three race classes – 125cc, 250cc and MotoGP. Recent MotoGP titles had excluded 125cc and 250cc at a cost and Capcom is keen to ensure that all the riders are faithfully represented, which also enables complete progression through the ranks as well as giving the gamer a different racing experience per class. The game features a scaled and competitive AI which adjusts within limits to give a more enjoyable race experience on the lower levels but shows no mercy in the higher levels.

Sakaguchi would love to create a Wii game down the road
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 2 Comments
“I think the Wii is a wonderful system. It’s very unique, starting with its iconic controllers. We have no plans at the moment, but I would love to make a Wii game in the future.” – Hironobu Sakaguchi
Sakaguchi would love to make a Wii game, and I’d love to play the game that he would create! He’s done some brilliant work on the Final Fantasy series, Chrono Trigger, and even Super Mario RPG. Sakaguchi has been a bit busy with the DS and Xbox 360 the past few years, so hopefully he can concentrate his efforts on the Wii in the future.
