The situation for Rayman Origins and Nintendo platforms has been a bit confusing. Ubisoft announced the game for Wii just a few days before E3. Later, we saw the title pop up on a 3DS game list published by Nintendo, though it wasn’t on the Wii list.

But yes, Rayman Origins has been 100% confirmed for both platforms. Nintendo Power has the scoop on the game in their upcoming issue. The magazine has the following blurb in the table of contents:

“Rayman is finally back in action in Rayman Origins! Get all the details on this visually stunning four-player platformer that’s making its way to Wii and Nintendo 3DS.”

Yikes… what a terrible debut for Earth Seeker. It’s not the best game in the world, but at least it’s a nice, fairly hardcore title that Japanese gamers are able to experience. Why did it sell so poorly?

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword producer Eiji Aonuma has shared a ton of information about his upcoming game with Famitsu. Aonuma was asked about elements such as Zelda’s role, whether or not Ganon will show up, and much more. Believe me, if you’re a Zelda fan, you’ll want to check out the details below. But be warned that there might be a few spoilers here and there…

“She’s not a princess this time, which is something I’ll pretty much have to put forth right now in order to talk about this title. She’s a childhood friend, but she goes away in the midst of the game and it’s Link’s job to search for her.”

“This game’s plot is something like a school drama, you could say. The flying sequence at the E3 demo is Link competing against his classmates. One of them looks kind of a like a bad guy, as you saw, and he shows up in other ways in the game too, since he has a major thing for Zelda.”

In Japan earlier today, Nintendo hosted a meeting for shareholders. Satoru Iwata answered a slew of questions about Wii U at the event, among other topics. For the important information from Iwata, read on below.

– Nintendo is releasing text book software through DS, has been well received, but many are against bringing game systems into classrooms
– Brain Age changed some minds about the above
– Earnings for board members dropped as did the lowered company earnings
– Iwata was the only person to make over 100 million yen (137 million yen)
– Six directors topped the 100 million yen mark
– Iwata’s earnings dropped 50 million yen from last year
– Wii U received great reactions from those in L.A.
– Iwata said a majority of overseas media offered congratulations to him
– Reaction for Wii U differed greatly between those who covered the product at the show and those who just covered it online
– Nintendo needs to consider how to convey the value of the product
– Nintendo hoping that low software output for Wii U launch won’t be an issue, unlike the 3DS’ situation
– Is Nintendo’s HD development ability okay? Iwata: Regarding Zelda HD, Japanese developers said that it could not be replicated on other machines. It was made in a relatively short period, so Iwata feels that HD development will not be a problem.
– Iwata said Wii wasn’t accepted by the core since they didn’t want to abandon their preferred control approach and it didn’t offer HD
– Wii didn’t have HD since HD const performance at the time was low
– Wii U makes it easier to use conventional controls
– Wii U controller not as big/heavy as it looks
– 3DS can technically be used as a Wii U controller
– You can’t go online if you use 3DS as a Wii U controller (unclear if this is for Wii U or 3DS)
– Iwata explained that if you connect Wii U and 3DS, then players have to purchase both systems

Thanks to Thomas N for the tip!

Dragon Quest Collection has a final release date of September 15 in Japan. It’ll cost ¥4,440. But what’s really interesting is that the disc will contain the first footage ever of Dragon Quest X, a new title in the series that has been in development for about three years.

That news alone will probably ensure that the game will sell a ton of copies (and the fact that’s it’s Dragon Quest). However, Square Enix is preparing to ship it will other bonuses. Here’s a rundown of what fans can expect, courtesy of Andriasang:

Famicom Shinken Guide Reprint
A reprinting of a classic guides for DQI, II and III, totaling 130 pages. This was produced with the cooperation of Shueisha. The content is unchanged from the original versions.

“Small Medal” Recreation
A recreation of a classic DQ series item. This will be included only as a first print run bonus.

Dragon Quest Art Collection
This collection has artwork and development materials. It will be included on the game disc.

25th Anniversary DQI, II and II Opening Anime
This will show when you load up the game disc. The newly produced animation is from Kamikaze Douga, which also did the animation for Dragon Quest IX and Dragon Quest Monsters Battle Road Victory.

Xenoblade, or should I say Monado: Beginning of the World – shot up the Amazon charts over the weekend. It actually took the top spot as the best-selling video game on the site over the weekend. It’s still hanging in the top ten.

Given Xenoblade’s success and attention on Amazon, I suppose it was inevitable that even the retailer said something about “Operation Rainfall” on their Twitter account. Earlier today, the following message was posted:

“If you were curious about Monado (Xenoblade) for Wii, @IGN has a nice article up in support of @OpRainfall. http://go.ign.com/jrDA2f”
