Midway has been able to hold on to the Mortal Kombat series for almost 20 years, but now the company is looking to part ways. Documents show that the publisher is looking for “execution of an asset purchase agreement for the sale of Midway’s Mortal Kombat franchise assets”. Midway has apparently withheld $3,755,000 in employee payments in bonuses for those who offload Wheelman and the rights to the Mortal Kombat franchise.

Oh, copper. For so many years, you’ve been second fiddle to silver and gold. Sure, you get the wiring and pipes, but most of the time it’s because you’re the cheapest of the bunch. When folks are handing out medals, you go to third place, and not even in your pure form. We all see your dark reddish-orange facade, but on the inside, we know you’re blue.

But in the world of TrackMania DS, Coppers are everything. For every successful race, players receive Coppers, credits that can be used to unlock a variety of game content from the Shop. Want more tracks to race on? Fork over some Coppers and discover new courses to master (and some of the best ones really must be unlocked). Want more track editor parts to spice up your custom courses? Spend and you shall receive. Tired of the same old texture for your car? New skins are on sale now. There are three different sets of unlockables to shop, based on the environment (Stadium, Desert, Rally) of your choosing.

See, copper, things aren’t so bad. You may be the whipping boy of the precious metals, but in TrackMania DS, you’re the currency of choice.

TrackMania DS is currently scheduled for release on March 17th.

Antony Johnston has officially acknowledged that he will be scripting Dead Space: Extraction for the Wii. Johnston is known for working on graphic novels including Wasteland. For now, he cannot go into too much detail regarding the game, but did disclose the following information:

# I’ve seen the game, and it looks incredible for the Wii;
# The voice cast is great, including a couple of names you’ll recognise;
# The story is strong, with a big emphasis on character;
# I think the on-rails-haters will be pleasantly surprised at how much gameplay variety has been packed in.

Back in 2002, Nintendo had sent out an interactive tech demo featuring Peach’s Castle to certain developers. Essentially, the point of the demo was to display the graphical capabilities of the GameCube. In each room, a different graphical effect is present.

Note: Contest has now officially started.

We haven’t had a contest in awhile, so I thought it was about time to start a new one! Before I get into the guidelines and details, I want to make a note that these contests will occur more often. They might have different rules and set ups to them, but I’m going to try to make it a more regular occurrence to make contests more frequent (but they won’t be every two weeks!)

The premise of this contest is simple. I’ve been noticing lately that a few people have commented on the news posts/articles that have been posted, which is definitely something that I’m happy with. At the same time, I would really love to see more comments so that, with any luck, a community of sorts can born. I do feel that a community aspect for Nintendo Everything could be very important and who knows – It’s more than possible that you guys can get into some nice discussions.

Now, here’s what I have in mind…

– This contest will begin today (3/1) and will end in two weeks (3/15).
– The winner with the most comments by the end of the contest will win a free WiiWare or Virtual Console game of their choice on the Wii
– The type of comment isn’t entirely important as long as it’s not something blatant to rack up your comments total for the contest
– A winner will be randomly selected if there happens to be a tie in comments total
– Unfortunately, this contest is only open to those who United States Wii systems – or to those who can temporarily change their Country setting to the United States (due to restrictions of sending titles)

Those are the only rules that I can think of at this point. Granted that this is an entire bust (which is possible), I’ll simply have to think of a different type of contest. I really do apologize for those who cannot participate in the contest but in the future, perhaps there can be other prizes that can be considered so that all readers can participate. I still encourage anyone and everyone to comment, even for those who will not be able to join in on the contest.
