Nintendo Download: Should Old Acquaintance Be (Half) Forgot?
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 0 comments
Three … two … one! Happy Half Year! Well, 2010 is just about half way behind us now (or, if you’re an optimist, half way ahead of us). Either way, why not make a half-resolution to try out some new downloadable games? This week Jett Rocket zooms onto the WiiWare™ service to thwart the plans of the awesomely named Power Plant Posse. The Nintendo 64™ classic Mario Tennis™ on the Virtual Console™ service reminds tennis fans that most matches last less than 11 hours. And Maestro! Green Groove on the Nintendo DSiWare™ service lets you become a virtuoso, as everything you do in the game becomes music.
We’ve also got new arrivals in the “Big Name Games” section of the WarioWare™: D.I.Y. series, which features downloadable microgames from some of the industry’s most talented figures. This week we have some new additions from the Treehouse, Nintendo’s game localization team. New “Big Name Games” will be added every Monday through July 26, all available to download for zero Nintendo DSi Points™ to anyone with broadband Internet access and a copy of either WarioWare: D.I.Y. for the Nintendo DS™ family of systems or WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase software for the WiiWare service. Visit the Nintendo Channel on your Wii™ system today to learn more about these games.

Inazuma Eleven Break not cancelled, Inazuma 4 announced
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 0 comments
It’s been a long time since we last heard about Inazuma Eleven Break – Almost two years, in fact. There were even some rumors that the game might move from the Wii to some other platform, though now the speculation can end.
Level-5 held some fan festivities for Inazuma Eleven in Japan earlier today, and one of the most important details shared is that the company is still working on Break for Nintendo’s console. It was also revealed that Inazuma Eleven 4 is in development and will most likely feature a new lead character. No other game-related information was shared at the event, but at least we finally know that Break is alive and well.

Aonuma: Surprising Zelda fans is Nintendo’s goal, trying to surpass Ocarina of Time memories, more
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii | 1 Comment
Aonuma talking about the story in Skyward Sword…
“Well, you saw the trailer this morning, and the presentation. The final scene is Link jumping off those cliffs and diving through the bank of clouds, and that’s a very key element behind the story in the Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. This time around, Link is living on a series of floating islands above the coulds, and that land is called Skyloft. Link lives in this floating land, and it’s his natural world, so he doesn’t think there’s anything strange about living above the clouds. One day, an incident occurs, and he discovers that beneath the clouds is another world, and that world is ruled by an evil force. And the thing that leads link on in his adventure and guides him is the titular sword – the Skyward Sword. When the sword is leading Link and helping him do things, it actually transforms into a human figure. [In] the artwork revealed at E3 last year, that was the figure that was in that artwork. So basically the story evolves in his travelling from Skyloft to the land below, and back and forth, as he is lead by the Skyward Sword. As he travels, the story of how the land below came to be ruled by these evil forces is revealed.”
