Nintendo and Activision Unveil Limited Edition Controller Bundle, Giving Gamers the Ultimate 00 Agent Arsenal
London, UK – 11th August, 2010 – Activision Publishing, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI) is giving GoldenEye fans a vintage Bond gaming experience with the GoldenEye 007TM Classic Edition, a game bundle featuring an exclusive gold Classic Controller ProTM. Inspired by the legendary golden gun, the gold controller gives fans and WiiTM gamers an additional control scheme option, allowing them to play with added accessibility – the full bundle will be available this autumn.
“In addition to the Wii Remote and Nunchuk, GoldenEye will also support the Wii Zapper for “point and shoot” gamers, giving players several ways to experience GoldenEye on Wii,” said David Pokress, Head of Marketing for Licensed Properties, Activision Publishing. “We also couldn’t pass up the opportunity to pay homage to the golden gun with the gold Classic Controller Pro, which looks cool and also gives shooter fans a familiar control scheme to use as they blast their way through the game.”

“I’m trying to put my own spin on this whole thing – I’m never going to be as good as Shigeru Miyamoto at making Miyamoto games, but I’d like to think he’s not as good at making my kind of games either. I basically drooled on the guy at E3 when I met him. I couldn’t ask a single question. I carry his business card with me at all times now. It’s in my wallet and will be there until the day I die.” – Warren Spector
Warren Spector is a pretty notable figure in the gaming world, but even he found himself getting nervous when talking to Miyamoto. That just goes to show how much of an impact Miyamoto has around the industry.
New Interactive Video Game Challenges Players with Four Decades of Survey Questions
SAN FRANCISCO – August 10, 2010 – Ubisoft revealed today that it will be publishing Family Feud® Decades, an interactive video game that challenges players with thousands of authentic survey questions from four different eras: 1970’s, 80’s, 90’s and 00’s. Created by Ludia and licensed by FremantleMedia Enterprises, Family Feud® Decades will be released November 9, 2010 in North America for the Wii™ system from Nintendo.
Similar to the Emmy Award–winning game show, which will launch its 12th season in national syndication with new host Steve Harvey the week of September 13th (check local listings), Family Feud Decades pits two families against each other in a contest to name the most popular responses to survey-type questions posed to 100 people. Players will be challenged to answer questions from various decades correctly. The game has a fun, retro feel, featuring the classic set designs and scoreboards from each of the decades the TV show has aired. Additionally, players design a personal avatar to represent them in the game, with hilarious outfits from different eras including hippie, disco, grunge and more.
“Family Feud Decades is a fun game to play in a group setting. Players will get a chance to practice their trivia knowledge from recent decades in an engaging and entertaining way,” stated Adam Novickas, U.S. director of marketing at Ubisoft. “It’s the perfect game for the entire family as the questions represent information from a wide range of generations, and it’s a great opportunity for parents to educate their children on events that may have happened before their time.”

This information comes from Natsume’s VP of Operations, Graham Markay…
“I think Hiro’s [Natsume CEO] pretty excited about it. From a company standpoint, the 3DS looks innovative, it’s moving forward. Anything that’s shown and then it causes you to start thinking in your head how you can utilize it, or what you can make for it, I definitely think is something that excites us. So, uhh…we are actually looking into the 3DS, and who knows, maybe some announcements in the future… [Laughs] …Okay, that one’s an announcement (Harvest Moon)! So that one should probably come in the future. [Laughs] Moving forward, I can pretty much say that Natsume will be a definite supporter of the 3DS.”
At this point, it looks like Harvest Moon 3D won’t be a launch title for the 3DS, but you can expect it sometime after launch. Besides that title though, I’m sure we can expect a ton of other Natsume releases for the system – they’ve really supported the DS and it sounds like the company is fully on board with the Nintendo’s next handheld.
Update: Official PR here.
Rumors of a gold-colored Classic Controller Pro have surfaced a number of times, even before GoldenEye 007 was officially announced by Activision. Today, however, the company finally confirmed that it’s the real deal. For $69.99, consumers will be able to purchase a bundle, which will include a copy of GoldenEye 007 and the controller. A stand-alone release of the game itself will also be sold for $49.99, the typical price of Wii titles.
