River City Ransom 2 heading to WiiWare
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
It’s been over twenty years since River City Ransom was released. This summer, the title will finally be getting a sequel. Miracle Kidz revealed today that they are working on River City Ransom 2 for WiiWare as well as for the PC. No word yet on any localization plans, but I think we’ll see the game in North America and Europe eventually.

Amazon UK 3DS pre-orders double the Wii
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii | 0 comments
If you’re not already convinced that the 3DS is going to be bigger than almost any system launch ever, let me throw some more numbers at you: Amazon UK is reporting that 3DS pre-orders on their website are double that of Wii pre-orders, and we all know how intense the Wii’s sales numbers were.
On top of that, the 3DS also broke the former “pre-order king”, the PS3, by about 70 percent. Sounds like we’ve got a big launch on our hands! How many of you have pre-ordered your 3DS yet? I know I did!
