Square Enix has opened a portal site for the SaGa series, but there is one item in particular that is notably important. On the portal, there is a link to a teaser site, which houses an array of colors that quickly pass across the page. At this point, we don’t know much about the teacher. In fact, we don’t even know if it’s for a game. I’m assuming we’ll find out what the site is about soon, possibly around TGS.
Thanks to Thomas N for the tip!

VIENNA, Austria – August 27, 2010
Broken Rules announced today that the award-winning platformer And Yet It Moves is now available for European WiiTM owners. The brand new WiiWareTM version of the hit downloadable PC game introduces all new levels, bonus modes and controls that will have players twisting and turning their Wii RemoteTM to rotate the game world while avoiding obstacles as they progress through colorful levels. The European release follows on the heels of the August 23rd launch in North America and is now available for 1,000 Wii Points.
This information comes from issue 258 of Nintendo Power…
Goichi Suda (Suda 51) – President & director, Grasshopper Manufacture:
“My first impressions of it was, ‘This is the toy of the future.” You can feel just how far and how fast games have evolved when you see the Nintendo 3DS. We’ve entered an era where we can bring worlds that we can almost touch and feel to life. Thus far, 3D has only been expressed with 2D. I think we’ve graduated from that and reached an age of expressing real depth through 3D with the 3DS.”
Matt Bozon – Creative director, WayForward
“I’ve stood in line for a lot of Nintendo unveils over the years, but even expecting to be amazed, seeing the Nintendo 3DS in person induced a sort of visual shell-shock. The system is as hypnotic as Turkish Delight and looks like a Hogwarts newspaper. The demos that showed games, movies, and photography in the third dimension had to be seen firsthand to be truly appreciated, with elements popping off the glass or dipping into the distance. When my play time was over and the friendly (but strong) Nintendo lady wrenched the system away, my phone, laptop, and other devices became flat, boring wastes of Z-space by comparison. But what excites me the most about this fancy pants is that it’s in the hands of Nintendo, so the games are going to be as brilliant as the machine itself. Can! Not! Wait!”
Hey guys – Just wanted to remind you all that Game Night will take place tomorrow night. If all goes well, we should open the IRC sometime around 7 PM EDT. Remember, we’ll also be giving away a copy of Grease: The Game to the top two winners. Last week was very enjoyable, so I hope tomorrow will be equally as fun. I hope to see most of you guys there!
The two items added to Club Nintendo Japan are New Super Mario Bros. Wii straps and an Animal Crossing bag. The strap set costs 300 points while the bag is priced at 250 points.
Ah, yes…How can anyone forget WeeWaa? You know, the game that’s controlled by cramming a Wiimote into a plush puppet? Well, good news: the project hasn’t been abandoned! WeeWaa, previously known as WiiWaa was brought to GamesCom last week, and developer Zoink Games brought a new build to the show. You can check out some footage from the title below.
