Nintendo Refreshes the Dog Days of Summer with Upcoming Cool Games
Dates Announced for New Kirby, Donkey Kong and Pokémon Games
REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– The summer is heating up, which means it’s a great time for Nintendo to announce some of the cool games it will have available in the coming months for its Wii™ home console and portable Nintendo DS™ family of systems.
“Everyone wants fun, engaging experiences, and they want great value,” said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “Nintendo games give you both. And no matter what your taste, you’ll find exclusive experiences that just aren’t available anywhere else.”
It has finally been confirmed that Mistwalker CEO Hironobu Sakaguchi is the director of Nintendo’s upcoming RPG, The Last Story. This doesn’t come as a big surprise, as a number of signs indicated that the Final Fantasy creator has been in charge of the project. As was shared in an Iwata Asks interview published today, the last time Sakaguchi fully directed a game was Final Fantasy V. A “gray period” followed that particular title’s release, in which Sakaguchi would “direct half” of an assortment of games such as Final Fantasy VI.
