Originally released in 1994 for the Super NES™ console, Mega Man™ X is widely recognized as a classic of the 16-bit gaming era. Starting this week, Wii™ owners can discover – or rediscover – the game’s timeless platforming fun via the Virtual Console™ service. For a different brand of retro-styled action with a contemporary twist, players can also try out a demo version of BIT.TRIP CORE, now available for download on the WiiWare™ service for zero Wii Points™. Meanwhile, new hand-held game offerings for the Nintendo DSiWare™ service include GO Series Captain Sub, a treasure-seeking underwater adventure that can be enjoyed anytime, anywhere on the portable Nintendo DSi™ system.

– Ceres will begin to look like a beast as you play
– Action component may remind some of Zelda
– Fields have a puzzle element
– Chain a bit similar to the hookshot in Zelda
– Grab enemies with the chain and swing them around
– Move switches with the chain as well
– Ceres must eat the beast meat to cure her curse in spite of the fact that the characters come from a race of non meat eaters
– Ceres may transform too far into beast form if she doesn’t get the needed flesh in time (unclear if this is part of the story or if a time limit is involved)
– Multiple endings
– Make selections as you play
– These selections affect the ending

If you’ve been following Nintendo Everything for a decent amount of time, then you’re probably aware of the fact that we’re huge fans of Shin’en. The company pushes Nintendo hardware to their limit – in spite of the fact that they have a limited amount of resources and manpower.

Jett Rocket, for instance, is one of the best-looking titles on the Wii even though it is a downloadable release and weighs in at less than 40 megabytes. Again, that’s because the developers over at Shin’en truly work their magic on Nintendo platforms.

Shin’en’s next WiiWare title, FAST – Racing League, is looking equally as impressive. The game has finally been pinned for a May release in Europe and it should hit the North American Wii Shop Channel around the same timeframe. To celebrate the upcoming release of FAST, Shin’en has sent us some new screenshots of the title. You can check those out above. Company CEO Manfred Linzner has also explained why fans should be excited about the game.

Update: Toys “R” Us are also temporarily dropping the price of the Wii.

The rumored Wii price drop won’t be put into effect on May 15 (if the speculation is to be believed), but Best Buy is now offering the console for $30 less. Consumers can purchase the black or white Wii bundles with Wii Sports, Wii Sports Resort, and Wii Remote Plus for just $169.99.

Keep in mind that this isn’t Engadget’s alleged price cut. Earlier this week, the site reported that the Wii’s price will be dropped to $149.99 next month, though Nintendo has yet to confirm the rumor. At the moment, Best Buy appears to be the only major retailer selling the console for less than $199.99.

Twist, turn, and move like never before with fun, motion-controlled experiences that come bundled with the Wii Remote™ Plus controller! Grip it like an umbrella, and tilt it around your body to ride gusts that blow you up, down, and to the finish line of a windy race course, or hold the controller like a mallet to strike pesky vermin from stealing vegetables from your garden. Players can even point the controller around the room to help find and capture invisible spooks! With multiple difficulty modes and game variations to unlock, up to 4 players can get caught up in the big action of the Wii Play: Motion game. For anyone looking to pick up another Wii Remote Plus controller, Wii Play: Motion is a great value that features 12 games and a bundled Wii Remote Plus controller.

Check out these two blurbs from the latest IGN article…

“According to our sources, the new Nintendo controller will feature dual analog sticks in addition to standard d-pad and trigger buttons. It’ll mirror a Gamecube controller in general function but not in specific form.”

“Sources now confirm to IGN the new Nintendo controller allows players to stream entire games to the device from the console, saying it’s like a miniature television. The screen size on the controller is also confirmed to be six inches in size.”

It sounds like the “screen on the controller” idea is really picking up steam. The concept seems interesting, but I’d like to see it in execution. If IGN is correct, we’ll be seeing first and third-party games at E3… so we’ll also be able to check out the controller for the first time. That is, if all of these “sources” know what they’re talking about!

Ready for more Wii 2 rumors? I hope so, since IGN’s Jim Reilly just posted more speculation on his Twitter account. According to his messages, the console’s controller will have dual analog sticks and the system itself is capable of streaming content. However, it isn’t clear if that includes full games, mini-games, or just applications. Reilly also claims that both first and third-party games will make an appearance at the show, though it’s anyones guess if they’ll be playable or not.

“Dual analog sticks on the controller. Can stream game content from the console. Not sure if it’ll be full games, mini-games, or apps. There will be first and third party ‘Wii 2’ games at E3. No clue if they’ll be playable.”
