Super Mario RPG, one of the most requested titles for the Virtual Console, will be releasing next month in Japan. The title will cost 100 points more than the usual Super Famicom title – 900 points – but it’ll be more than worth the extra points to most fans. The release of Super Mario RPG in Japan means that the rest of the worth is one step closer to being able to download it as well.

“We’ve been looking at DLC on the Wii for a long time, and with Guitar Hero 3, it was the first Guitar Hero game on the Wii. It was the first third-party WiFi title with online play. That took a lot of effort to be able to do that. We didn’t have the time, and the infrastructure and stuff wasn’t in place [at the time], for DLC [in GH3].” – CEO Karthik Bala, Vicarious Visions

So, we’re definitely getting a hard drive at E3…Right?! Well, I darn well hope so. I don’t know about you guys, but my “virtual refrigerator” has been cleaned one too many times.

“We are currently in the design stages of two unannounced titles for the Wii, one of which we really feel will take the Wii to a whole new artistic level in terms of gameplay and presentation. We are hoping to really shake the industry’s opinion on what can be done with the Wii!” – Ben Krotin

At Ubisoft’s recent event – Ubidays – a representative confirmed a Prince of Peria spin off for the Wii. The Wii will not be receiving the main title that will be releasing on the 360 and PS3, but the spin off Prince of Persia for the Wii will apparently be based off of it. This information has not been officially confirmed, although it does seem like a tangible possibility. No specific details were provided by the representative, however.

The above pamphlet can be found on the back of the Lego Indiana Jones instruction booklet. If this is valid, which it definitely appears to be, it would be the first Wii exclusive project. Star Wars fans are certainly getting their fair share of games this year.

Samus never made the cut in the final game (Link was planned, too), though this is still awesome to watch. Activision originally planned on having the two Nintendo characters in Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, but the idea was scrapped, most likely due to the fact that this was sprung on Nintendo. Oh, and the fact that the footage was from the PS2 game might have hurt their cause.

Deca Sports, a title comparable to that of Wii Sports, released just a few days ago in America. However, more games in the series have already been confirmed to be in the works. Mike Pepe of Hudson USA, speaking on a DS version noted, “We are exploring ports to other platforms. The DS being one of them. The controls and mechanics need to make sense though as the gameplay within centres around both of these.” An additional title for the Wii is also planned, and Pepe encourages fans of the series to voice their desires on the Deca Sports website. No concrete news other than this was provided regarding the new Wii title, but hopefully Hudson Soft can address the issues that plagued the Wii version and discover the best formula that would be suitable for the DS.
