Remember that WiiWare racing game Shin’en teased a few months ago? Well, today the company made the title official. Shin’en has announced FAST – Racing League for Nintendo’s downloadable service. We’ll have to wait a little longer for concrete details about the game, but Shin’en promises that “more information will be revealed in the coming weeks.”

“It’s a great honour. I never would have imagined that I would be developing the latest instalment of titles I’d played in my childhood. If I could travel through time, I’d go back and tell the child version of myself. The Metroid series has lots of unforgettable creatures. We wanted as many of them as possible to be brought back. In the Bottle Ship there are lots of creatures longtime fans will surely get excited for.”

I definitely have to say that I was shocked when it was revealed that Team Ninja would be working on Other M with Nintendo. And I’m sure a lot of you felt the same way! Other M hasn’t received the best reception compared to other Metroid titles, but it sounds like most gamers have had a pretty fun time with it overall. One has to wonder if Nintendo will work with Team Ninja on another project sometime in the future.

Nintendo Power promised a blowout of Epic Mickey in their October issue, and the magazine certainly did not disappoint. Tons of new details have been revealed in a 10-page article, which touch on new gameplay/story elements, new levels, and other interesting information. Check out all of the Epic Mickey goodness below.

General details

– Much time has passed after Mickey spills paint and thinner on Yen Sid’s model on his table
– Incident becomes a distant memory
– One morning, Mickey yanked back through the mirror by the Phantom Blot
– During the struggle, Mickey grabs the paint brush before being pulled into Yen Sid’s model
– Part of the introduction involves a tense confrontation with Mad Doctor and contains a little beat where Mickey and Oswald see each other for the first time
– Warren Spector says that moment is his “Sergio Leone moment”
– Oswald is the earliest resident of Wasteland
– He’s joined by other discarded elements from throughout Disney history as the decades pass
– Paintbrush more like a hose than a brush
– Controls rundown: Aim with the Wiimote, hold B button to shoot a stream of paint, hold Z for thinner, tap either button to fire a shotgun-like splash of the corresponding substance
– The splash’s range isn’t as good, but covers a wider area and the force to knock back foes
– Action maps make up most of the game
– Only takes a few minutes to complete a travel map, but there are branching paths
– One path will take you to your destination, other will reward you with a collectible if you survive
– One collectible is a film reel, but Spector won’t discuss that yet
