A Wii hard drive has been something that consistent Wii downloaders have been begging for, but did you know that Nintendo has created a HDD-enabled Wii already? Nintendo and the Starlight Foundation for the Youth have teamed up and are providing numerous hospitals with unique Wii units. These systems are different that the average Wii, in the sense that they not only come with a hard drive, but they also store full games. So that means hits such as Super Mario Galaxy, Zack and Wiki, Twilight Princess, and more are all available on these special Wii units.

This graph pretty much speaks for itself. I suppose developers are beginning to see that the Wii is a viable platform that is capable of handling games with high-quality. Let’s jut hope that this trend will continue into next year.

Jimmy Soga, PR agent of XSEED Games, has stated that Marvelous Entertainment USA will be co-publishing three unannounced titles for the North American market. One of these games is for the Wii and will be revealed before the end of September. Also, there are two DS announcements which should be known by the time TGS rolls by. There are plenty of realistic options that the announcements could be related to, but we’ll know for sure very soon.

Small update: Not too much information to share, but it looks like this game, Sorcery Blade, is from Kemco and is a new entry in what is a slew of mobile RPG titles. Also, the Wii controller is apparently utilized for attacking in real-time.

I couldn’t help but post this because it’s an RPG and it’s for WiiWare. There are plenty of great games available on the Shop Channel for download, although I’d really love to soak some hours into a RPG…This game could be my fix.
