Every week Nintendo puts out a press release talking about all the great new downloadable titles that are coming out, but never something showcasing the occasionally-decent games that come out in retail. Well, I’m gonna change that. This week, Nintendo gamers are treated with world cup soccer, free running intensity, ruthless romans, and fighting extinction.

Update: Added an additional scan (blurry)
I don’t think these are screenshots exactly, but it doesn’t look like it’s concept art. Either way, it’s great to see more of the game!
Rumor has it that two new Wii bundles will soon be available at GameStop. Apparently the store will have a black and white console in stock which contains a copy of Wii Sports Resort/Wii MotionPlus. The new products will be available on May 9th for $199.99. The current Wii SKU, which only comes with Wii Sports and a Wiimote, will be discontinued when the bundles go on sale. Keep in mind though that this is information has yet to be confirmed by Nintendo and GameStop.
IRVINE, CA – May 02, 2010 – LITTLE ORBIT (www.littleorbit.com), the worldwide publisher and developer of entertainment products for the casual video game marketplace, will be showcasing their debut release, Busy Scissors®, at the 2010 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles. The company also has plans to reveal several unannounced products.
“E3 has always been about high energy and product innovation. It’s the perfect place to unveil Busy Scissors,” said President Matthew Scott. “We’re excited to be able to contribute to this year’s exciting roster of ground-breaking releases that will be showcased at the trade show.”
Little Orbit collaborated on Busy Scissors, the world’s first and only industry-backed hairstyling and simulation video game, with Toni & Guy Academies, TIGI and Bed Head to integrate actual hairstyling practices and virtual items from their product lines into the game play. Busy Scissors is scheduled for release on Nintendo Wii tm and DS tm later this year.
“[The series still has] some surprises in store for everybody. It’s good. I don’t want to say nobody has seen it coming. Somebody may have seen it coming. But it excited me and when I heard about the project, I was like, ‘Holy crap. That’s rad.’ I actually haven’t seen anything that’s going on with the project right now but the idea was exciting. This is still kicking around as a concept. But there are exciting ideas in the Mega Man space. – Capcom’s Seth Killian
Something tells me that whatever Capcom’s thinking about won’t be like Mega Man 9/10. I’m definitely pumped to learn more about the future of Mega Man. What about you guys?
