While some efforts from third-parties have reached for the stars, a large majority of third-party developed titles have been less than impressive. Capcom, however, has provided the Wii with ongoing, strong support and seems interested in continuing their pattern. Spyborgs is one of the latest titles that have been revealed by the company. The game did not receive a terribly warm reaction from the hardcore Wii crowd, though numerous Capcom representatives have expressed feelings of faith in the game. Based on recent words, Wii owners should begin to believe in Spyborgs too, as Spyborgs, according to Capcom’s Christian Svensson, will max out the Wii and will make the most out of the Wii’s power. Svensson explained,”Spyborgs will be that product. Wait and see.” Also, on a slightly different note, Svensson gave the unfortunate news that Spyborgs won’t have much of a presence at E3. “Captivate was the announcement with very little detail shared… it’ll lie low for a bit until we’re ready for a bigger reveal (similar to what we did with the Dark Void announcement last October with the bigger reveal at Captivate), so no E3 showing.”

I really want to know – is this a WiiWare exclusive or not?! As I’ve said before, I don’t think a multiplatform release would be too terrible, but Capcom recently said that Mega Man 9 would be releasing for WiiWare only.

Who said magazines are currently obsolete due to the instant access of information through the Internet? Well, magazines have certainly been getting the edge over online news in some areas as of late. Nintendo Power gave us the lowdown on Mega Man 9 and Castlevania Judgement, and now the Official Nintendo Magazine may have just given a lucid indication that Animal Crossing Wii news is on the way. In the teaser page for its next issue, the Official Nintendo Magazine writes, “Its been a while! It’s time to revisit an old friend. How’s your village doing these days?’” We all know that E3 is next month, so it’s quite possible that in the next 30 days (at E3, most likely), we’ll finally see/hear about Animal Crossing Wii. The magazine also promises two exclusives on spaking-new Wii titles next month as well.

Thanks to Ducky9 for the news tip.

“It’s taken over three years to make Brawl but I actually stopped trying to include new ideas early on in development. What happened in the next year and a half was that we distilled the game down, worked out which ideas we had time to include and which we didn’t. Sadly, we had to trim out many great concepts just to keep within the time contraints. I had a lot more characters, for example.. but sadly I can’t discuss which ones didn’t make it. There are 39 characters in the game this time around and just adding a few more wouldn’t be enough to justify a new game in my opinion; I’d have to draw a line in the sand and have a new approach to make it worthwhile. As long as the fans enjoy it, though, that’s what matters and in the distant future, I guess that might be something I have to consider.” – Masahiro Sakurai, creator of Super Smash Bros.

I have to wonder…Were one of those “cut” characters Geno? Or how about Ridley? Either way, I do believe Brawl’s character roster is respectable, although in the future, some more fan favorites would be great.
