GRAB YOUR WASABI! SUSHI GO ROUND IS ROLLING IN FOR NINTENDO CONSOLES
SouthPeak Games and Asylum Entertainment Co-Publishing Sushi Go Round – based on the Hugely Popular Miniclip.com Mini-Game
LEICESTER, MAY 27th – SouthPeak Interactive Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: SOPK) and Asylum Entertainment have today announced a co-publishing deal to bring Sushi Go Round to Wii™ and Nintendo DS™ this winter. Based on the Miniclip.com game, Sushi Go Round promises frantic eat-‘em-up action and sushi-serving gameplay.
Sushi Go Round has been downloaded more than 60 million times from Miniclip.com and these updated versions build on the addictive time-management gameplay of the original. Players must run their own sushi restaurant, in which they’re responsible for memorising recipes, preparing food, ordering fresh ingredients and – most importantly – working hard to keep the constant stream of customers happy.
Macquarie Research has issued its E3 preview for Nintendo. According to the equity firm, Nintendo will “provide more gamer-centric announcements…such as a new Zelda or Mario title for the Wii.”
“We understand WiiFit Plus will be launched at E3, which will be sold separately from the board and in a bundle and will capitalise on the 17m existing WiiFit users. We expect Nintendo to learn its lessons from last year and provide more gamer-centric announcements at E3 such as a new Zelda or Mario title for the Wii (in addition to the new Zelda for DS). We do not expect a price cut and see an outside chance that new accessories for Wii could be announced.”
All of these predictions seem pretty accurate. Wii Fit Plus looks to be Nintendo’s casual highlight for the year, there could be a new Mario or Zelda, and a price cut still does not seem likely.

As a huge NBA fan, this news makes me very happy (by the way, go Cavs!). Up until this point, however, there hasn’t been any standout NBA titles on the Wii. Hopefully 2K10 will change that!
