The press release doesn’t mention which platforms the game will be releasing for, but I would be shock if it didn’t hit either the Wii or DS.

Retro Studios just opened a twitter account a few weeks ago, and this was the second message posted:
“We think you guys will be pleasantly surprised in just a few hours :)”
Now, Nintendo’s E3 press conference is, technically, a few hours away (more like 26 hours as of this post, but who’s counting)? It seems a bit odd for the company to begin posting from a twitter account with Nintendo’s event on the horizon. Will Retro Studios’ new project finally be unveiled? We’re also going to consider this a rumor until it can be confirmed that it is not a fake twitter account.
Thanks to Jake for the news tip!

Hands-On Demos of Upcoming Games to be Available Exclusively at Retailer’s Bullseye Lounge
MINNEAPOLIS – May 29, 2009
Target and Ubisoft will come together at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles, June 2–4, for an exclusive preview of the upcoming titles Press Your Luck™ 2010 and the all new The Price Is Right™ 2010. The games will be playable on the Wii™ system from Nintendo at the Target Bullseye Lounge, centrally located in the mezzanine between the main halls. E3 attendees will be the first to experience Ubisoft’s video game adaptations of the popular television game shows, which are produced by FremantleMedia North America. Created by Ludia Inc. and licensed by FremantleMedia Enterprises, these titles will be available on store shelves this fall.
“Ubisoft is always looking for creative ways to work with our retail partners and we are excited to extend our relationship with Target by being part of the Bullseye Lounge,” said Tony Key, senior vice president of sales and marketing for Ubisoft. “This is a great opportunity for media and industry influencers to see these new games in a unique and interactive setting.”
“Sources tell me the Wii area at the Nintendo booth is covered in light blue tarps and under heavy security at E3.” – Geoff Keighley’s twitter
Sounds like there could be some significant secrets at Nintendo’s booth this year…We’ll just have to wait and see what the Big N is hiding.
Thanks to _Contra_ for the news tip!
It’s almost that time again…In a few short days, we’ll know if all of our hopes and expectations have been fulfilled with announcements of Zelda, Mario, Kid Icarus, Star Fox, F-Zero, DSi Virtual Console, 2D Metroid for WiiWa…You get the idea…Or if we have had our dreams shattered. Okay, well, let’s try not be that negative!
In any case, our E3 coverage this week should be no surprise for those who have been keeping up with Nintendo Everything in the past. Basically, we’re going to be covering the heck out of the show. Not only are we planning on keeping the site up to date with all of the latest news from Nintendo’s conference, but we also will provide updates from third-party presentations. So if you’re looking for any sort of Nintendo E3 news, this is your one stop place to get it!
I do expect a good amount of news to be released from EA’s/Ubisoft’s conferences, so our coverage will officially begin tomorrow. We’ll give you another update on Tuesday as well, before Nintendo’s press event starts.
