Nintendo just finished hosting a retailer meeting, in which a few announcements were made. For the most part, there weren’t any huge surprises, other than some sort of new Pokemon title. According to well-known Japanese blog Sinobi, PokePark Wii Pikachu’s Great Adventure was revealed, although actual details seem to be unavailable at the current moment. I’d imagine it’s a WiiWare title, however, as the game will be releasing on December 5. We’ll fill you in with additional information as it becomes available.

He shall appear from a far eastern land across the sea, a young man who has yet to know his potential… And he’ll be driving a badass motorcycle.

Ryo Hazuki, star of the Shenmue series returns in his first playable appearance since Shenmue 2 to join the ranks of the SEGA All-Stars as part of Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing.

Ryo, protagonist of the Shenmue series and one of the most requested SEGA character to make an appearance in All-Stars Racing will be riding his borrowed motorcycle around classic SEGA themed race tracks. And when a motorcycle just can’t cut it, Ryo unleashes his All-Star move and is able to swap vehicles to his iconic forklift truck to charge and barge opponents out of the way!

The Shenmue series, the story of a son’s quest for vengeance, began life in 1999 as the killer-app for the SEGA Dreamcast. Originally developed by the legendary Yu Suzuki for SEGA, Ryo has yet to gain his revenge but he’s certainly no stranger to motorcycle racing and is sure to make a formidable adversary for Sonic, AiAi, Dr. Eggman and the other All-Stars.

“Treyarch is working on this (Modern Warfare: Reflex) right now. Infinity Ward is working on Modern Warfare 2 right now. I think it’s fair to say that we want to give the Wii consumer new experiences and we’ll continue to do that.” – Activision’s Daniel Suarez, executive producer of Modern Warfare: Reflex

Obviously, there’s going to be another Call of Duty game beyond Modern Warfare 2 on the PS3/360. Next year, though, I’d rather have the latest title for Nintendo’s console. I can’t tell if Modern Warfare: Reflex will shape up to be an excellent experience (I’m still waiting for some footage, Activision!), but it would be disappointing if Wii owners could only purchase Modern Warfare 2 next year rather than something like Modern Warfare 3.
