I don’t think these are screenshots exactly, but it doesn’t look like it’s concept art. Either way, it’s great to see more of the game!

IRVINE, CA – May 02, 2010 – LITTLE ORBIT (www.littleorbit.com), the worldwide publisher and developer of entertainment products for the casual video game marketplace, will be showcasing their debut release, Busy Scissors®, at the 2010 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles. The company also has plans to reveal several unannounced products.
“E3 has always been about high energy and product innovation. It’s the perfect place to unveil Busy Scissors,” said President Matthew Scott. “We’re excited to be able to contribute to this year’s exciting roster of ground-breaking releases that will be showcased at the trade show.”
Little Orbit collaborated on Busy Scissors, the world’s first and only industry-backed hairstyling and simulation video game, with Toni & Guy Academies, TIGI and Bed Head to integrate actual hairstyling practices and virtual items from their product lines into the game play. Busy Scissors is scheduled for release on Nintendo Wii tm and DS tm later this year.

“I don’t think anyone should write off anything Nintendo does as a gimmick. Nor should they assume anything Nintendo does will be successful. You’re talking about guys who came up with the concept called the Wii, and made it one of the most successful things to get new gamers into gaming. If I had a dollar for every time I had mocked both the controller and the console, I would feel silly, because we’d have lots of money, but we would have been really wrong. However, they also did the Virtual Boy. Everything about that, which seemed cool, wasn’t.
I am excited about it, though, because of what they’ve shown with the DS. I wasn’t a big believer. I thought, ‘Man, the PSP is going to destroy it,’ and I was wrong. And with the Nintendo Wii I thought the name was really bad, but now it doesn’t sound as stupid as when they first announced it. I’ve been proven wrong enough times by Nintendo.” – co-founder John Vechey
“On the other hand, the Wii is really great for everybody, but only Nintendo and a couple of other developers are making money off it.” – PopCap CEO David Roberts
“Nintendo is the only company that’s had great success on the Wii.” – co-founder John Vechey
A lot of people had doubts about the Wii and DS when they were announced. Dual screens? A console called “Wii”? Gradually, Nintendo was able to put much of the skepticism to rest. I have a feeling the same thing will happen with the 3DS.

Recent Nintendo game delays won’t impact Europe
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
This information comes from a Google translation, but I think you guys will be able to understand it for the most part…
“Sin and Punishment: Successor of the Skies released on May 7 well in Europe (so no carry) and Metroid: Other M has never had a specific date in Europe, it was planned for the third quarter of 2010, it is forever.”
Sin and Punishment 2 will be released in less than two weeks in Europe, so it would be surprising to see the game delayed there at this point. Also, Nintendo of Europe has only said that Other M will launch in Q3 2010. I guess you could say that it would be impossible for that title to be delayed since it was never truly dated in the first place.
