“I think it sold lower than our expectations but on the other hand it was a really unique game, I have to say. And also, even today, we are receiving several different offers from people in the field of music education, so as far as Wii Music is concerned, I think is still has great potential. And in the future there might be some developments. We may want to think about the possibility of making some improvements, based upon the original Wii Music. Unfortunately we don’t have any news we can talk about at the moment. But like Wii Fit Plus, it’s not really a sequel to the original Wii Fit – but we have added some features to improve the overall experience. It’s a kind of an enhanced version of the original Wii Fit…” – Shigeru Miyamoto

I don’t think Wii Music was a terrible game – It just missed the mark in a few places. On the other hand, if the developers could touch up the game and address a few complaints (and add in some additional Nintendo music!), then I’d be all for something like Wii Music Plus.

Official trailer outlining the game is now available.

In Robot Rescue you need to release robots trapped in evil computer labyrinths and get them to an exit. All robots are linked together, so when you move one of them, you move them all. Most importantly you have to look out for traps! Missions are full of deadly obstacles, so be careful.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii is the first title to make use of the Super Guide. But what are the chances of the functionality being implemented into Super Mario Galaxy 2? Shigeru Miyamoto explains:

“Well, as far as the challenge of Super Mario Galaxy 2 is concerned, I think it’s going to be a really challenging game, but whether or not we are going to incorporate the Super Guide, I just cannot tell,” Miyamoto told us. “In general, wherever and whenever appropriate, I think we will want to incorporate that kind of thing, but I cannot commit to anything specific right now.”

Geoff Keighley is teasing some sort of Mario-related game for the holidays. Check out this mysterious message left on his Twitter account…

“Someone introduces himself as ‘It’s-a-me, Mario!’ in a big holiday game, and it’s not New Super Mario Bros Wii.”

Well, this is pretty odd! I honestly have no idea what Keighley is talking about, unless it’s that Mario arcade game. Charles Martinet said a few weeks back that he was recording voice work for a Mario game that isn’t New Super Mario Bros. Wii or Galaxy 2, but is Nintendo really preparing another title for the holidays? And if this was something obvious, wouldn’t Keighley have elaborated? Perhaps it’s a WiiWare title? I hope we find out soon!

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, the DS’s first, true sandbox-type game, shipped earlier this year and was met with much critical acclaim. There was one significant aspect that was missing in the title, however – an open-world 3D environment. Rockstar’s Dan Houser told Nintendo Power that the team never really considered creating a 3D GTA experience for the handheld. Yet, here we are, a few months later, with C.O.P. The Recruit, a title that most gamers thought Chinatown Wars would look like. C.O.P. certainly is technically astonishing, but does the gameplay match the title’s visuals?

Staying true to the Call Of Duty formula, the title places you in the fatigues of mainly two soldiers; a Sergeant from the USMC, and a British SAS operative. The games acts (levels) will have you switching back and forth between the two soldiers; offering you a different view of their distinctive story lines and the war they fight.
