It has been known for some time now that Factor 5 is developing a title for the Wii. Certainly many gamers are aware of the Kid Icarus revival rumors. As far as concrete revelations go though, CEO of Factor 5 GmbH Germany, Achim Moller, shared that the company was creating a new Wii game through his LinkedIn profile. Interestingly, someone discovered that Moller updated his profile slightly and it now states that Factor 5 has “multiple unannounced” Wii games and are listed for 2009. While I’m personally not too sure that these projects would be released this year, perhaps we could hear news sometime in the next few months? E3 would have been an optimal time to make an announcement, but we all know that there were no Factor 5 titles at the convention.

Starfy has been an acknowledged character in Japan for many, many years. However, most North American DS owners received their first chance to play the latest game in the series just last month. So what are the chances of seeing some of the older Starfy games? And might a Wii title be possible? Hitoshi Yamagami, producer of the Starfy series, recently commented on these very topics in the most recent edition of Nintendo Power.
“It [more Starfy in America] all depends on the reaction of the North American audience…I’m more interested in creating a new game than in remaking 1 through 4 for North America. And if demand for a Wii version if strong, then we’ll see!”

GET READY FOR THE WORLD’S MOST INTUITIVE AND CATCHY MUSICAL PLATFORM GAME.
Friday 10th July 2009 – Paris, France. Pasta Games is pleased to announce its latest creation MAESTRO! JUMP IN MUSIC. The game is a truly unique concept combining traditional platform games and the pleasure of music creation in a way that is both astounding and natural – after you see it.

Use the stylus to scrape, rub, tap and whirl to the rhythm of the level’s music and like a good Maestro, stick to the original. Presto will jump or get off a platform in the order in which you strum the string, flying with his small wings to reach the music score.

City Life DS, created by the team that delivered the critically-acclaimed City Life series for the PC, invites would-be mayors and urban planners to employ their creativity and Nintendo DS stylus to design, build and manage thriving metropolises on the go.
Players are challenged to deliver the ultimate city through efficient transportation routes and over 150 different building types – including famous world landmarks. To succeed, players must manage the town’s budget, housing, employment, entertainment and additional social services for its residents. Six distinct socio-economic groups add to the challenge. Rather than pleasing only one generic type of inhabitant, players must learn to attract and retain a diverse and harmonious population, drawing from all six cultural groups, balancing their unique and often conflicting needs and expectations.
While it may only be a new coat of paint on an old system, it’d be hard to deny that the re-coloration of the Wii makes it look a little more like a big boy system. In addition to just the new colors, however, the system will come with a brand new box to boot! Check it out:
