This quote comes from Shigeru Miyamoto at the Q&A session of Nintendo’s latest financial briefing. We posted this information a few days ago, but now it’s clearer and complete.

“…On developing the recent Zelda for DS, I found out that one of Zelda’s core appeals is its uniqueness. Of course we are preparing gorgeous graphics for the sake of users’ anticipation for a grand role-playing adventure. But what I believe is very important is the realistic, actual feeling players have experienced themselves; the feeling to have really been on an adventure, to have explored the unknown terrains, to have solved the puzzle through trial and errors, to have themselves grown through various experiences! In that sense, a personal sense of creativity is becoming important among us. We have assembled one of the most creative team for the recent Zelda for DS, and we want to be as creative as possible for upcoming Wii Zelda.

Well, this is quite a surprise! According to the USK, Germany’s equivalent of the ESRB, the Phoenix Wright series is coming to the Wii in some capacity. Unfortunately, the USK rating did not specify if this will be a WiiWare or retail release. The news hasn’t been officially confirmed by Capcom yet, but I don’t see how this classification could be incorrect. And remember, Capcom’s Christian Svensson said a few months ago that the series could “technically” land on Nintendo’s console.

Even though Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Reflex Edition (that’s a mouthful, isn’t it?) releases in just six days, only a handful of official screenshots have been released. No trailers, no videos, pretty much nothing in general. For now, gamers will be forced to make a purchasing decision based on a few previews written during GDC and pre-alpha screenshots. However, someone took a picture of the Reflex Edition box – particularly the back – which shows a few new screens. They are blurry, but this is what people have had to resort to in order to get a better idea about the game! You can check out the images below.

“If we felt like we could deliver the cinematic experience we were going for on other platforms, then we would gladly move to that platform. Right now, we don’t think the Wii can deliver the exact experience that we’re doing. We like to be very equal across all platforms, and if it’s not equal then we won’t do it.” – Infinity Ward community manager Robert Bowling

Obviously, Infinity Ward will not be able to provide Wii owners with the same experience as the PS3/360 as far as graphics are concerned. However, I don’t believe that it’s extremely difficult to bring a similar overall experience to the Wii.
