When Konami initially opened their TGS website, there were five panels for “coming soon” titles. Over time, however, those boxes have been filled. There is only one other mystery game on the website. It’s not clear if the remaining game will be announced before TGS, although it will be present in a different booth. Konami has also earlier today that a few announces can be expected at the event.
According to a distributor, clear blue, metallic blue, and red DSi color variations will launch on October 23 in Europe.

Although Nintendo has two significant releases for the remainder of the year, the titles couldn’t be any more different. Wii Fit Plus is a clear casual experience while New Super Mario Bros. Wii contains classic platforming. But does Nintendo believe they can compete against the likes of Halo 3: ODST and Modern Warfare 2? Reggie Fils-Aime, President and COO of Nintendo of America, explained when he was asked about that very question in an interview.
“We’re selling both to the gamer who grew up playing Nintendo, who grew up playing Metroid, who is playing those games, maybe has a second console in the house. Speaking not only to those consumers, but also speaking to a much wider audience. So for us, it’s core and more, right? It’s both that heavy playing consumer today as well as a much larger opportunity.”
