A medical drama you’re a part of!
IRVINE, CALIFORNIA – MAY 18, 2010 – Atlus U.S.A., Inc. today announced that Trauma Team™, the publisher’s exciting new medical drama experience for Wii™, is now available at retailers across North America with an affordable launch MSRP of $39.99. Releasing to critical acclaim and strong positive word of mouth, Trauma Team offers gamers six different fields of medicine to master, putting Wii owners inside a living, breathing hospital and thrusting them into fun, fast-paced narrative filled with suspense, raw intensity, and drama.
“Trauma Team combines the best aspects of medical dramas and crime investigation TV shows with satisfying gameplay that anyone can pick up and play,” stated Aram Jabbari, Manager of Public Relations and Sales at Atlus. “Whether it’s the captivating narrative, the interesting cast of characters, the variety of gameplay modes, or the ability to play with a friend, Trauma Team delivers exactly what Wii owners and fans of medical dramas are looking for in a new game. And at the attractive price of just $39.99, it offers tremendous value as well.”
This information comes from Square Enix CEO Yoichi Wada…
“I’d be happy if it would revitalize the market. However, while it will likely become a big topic, I don’t believe it will form a market. Whether naked eye or with glasses, the method is unstable.”
Even though Wada isn’t convinced about the potential of 3D gaming right now, it seems very likely that Square Enix will eventually support the 3DS. The company has had much success with a number of games created for the DS – especially the Dragon Quest series – so it seems only natural that they would move on to Nintendo’s next handheld.

This information comes from Ubisoft’s latest financial report…
Fourth-quarter sales were slightly higher than the guidance of around €200 million issued when Ubisoft released its sales figures for the third quarter of 2009-10. This performance reflects the combined impact of:
? The accounting restatement of around €8 million in marketing cooperation expenses. These costs were previously deducted directly from the top-line sales figure but are now included in SG&A expenses.
? A strong increase in sales of Just Dance®, which, in the total fiscal year, sold-in almost 3 million units. This performance was particularly impressive as the game was only available on a single platform – the Wii™.
? The ongoing exceptional performance delivered by Assassin’s Creed® II which sold-in nearly 9 million units during the year.
? The launch of Red Steel® 2 for the Wii™, which received very good reviews and whose performance was in line with recently revised forecasts.
? Sales of Avatar that outstripped the most recent forecasts, notably on Wii™.
During the first four months of calendar 2010, Ubisoft’s gained market shares corresponding to 9.9% in Europe (versus 8.5% one year earlier) and 6.8% in the United States (against 5.3%).

“Boy, their E3 bombshell puts that to test. I’m not going to spill it because I don’t want to make anyone mad, but boy their E3 bombshell puts that to test.”
There are definitely several possibilities this game could be about. I just hope it ends up on a Nintendo platform!
