“It’s a very astute observation, but it doesn’t take in history [Nintendo popularizing video gaming]. The most successful console is still the PS2 and it’s still going strong. I think that’s the console that really broke the barrier from video games being just for video gamers into more of a mass market on a global basis. Nintendo’s obviously done a great job in following that mass acceptance.” – Sony Computer Entertainment boss Kazuo “Kaz” Hirai

While I do believe that the PlayStation 2 helped to make a dent in the casual gaming market, I feel as though Nintendo has fully broke the barrier. For me, I feel that Nintendo has made a more conscious effort to bring more people into the gaming world and there seems to have been more buzz about the Wii amongst the casual crowd.

As part of a No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle t-shirt design contest, Ubisoft has given North American gamers a more specific date as to when the game will be releasing. We’re still waiting for an exact date, but Ubisoft stated in a press release that the title is on schedule to come out in January 2010.

“No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle continues the tale of punk anti-hero Travis Touchdown, the Japanese anime Otaku, and pro wrestling-obsessed assassin. Travis finds himself at the bottom of the UAA (United Assassins Association) rankings and must wage war to exact revenge and become the No. 1 assassin once again. The follow-up to the popular No More Heroes will offer fans infectious, fun gameplay that allows you to wield not just one, but two swords and face multiple bosses simultaneously in bigger-than-ever boss battles. No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle is scheduled to release January 2010 exclusively for the Nintendo Wii system. For more details, please visit: www.nomoreheroesgame.com.”

In the past, we’ve seen some pretty odd patents from Nintendo. There was one focusing on education, another one for horseback riding, and most recently, a bicycle pedal add-on. Now Nintendo of America is getting in on the action with a new football controller. There are a number of different designs pictured in the photos above. One image shows that the football peripheral can be used with both the Wii controller and nunchuck while another would only allow use of just the Wiimote.
