Masachika Kawata, producer of Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles, recently had a chance to speak about the game at the RE5 launch event. Kawata wanted to emphasize that The Darkside Chronicles is going to be “very dark” and that ‘dark’ is an important word for the title.
“What we’re looking to do is go back to a ‘very dark’ style of Resident Evil. ‘Dark’ is really a key word for this game. It will be shown in horror, in the storyline, in the emotions that the characters go through. [The development team at Cavia is] putting a lot of care, a lot of attention into [improving] how the camera system works in a rail-based shooter.”
This Monday night, doors will open at midnight at the flagship Nintendo World Store at 10 Rockefeller Plaza in the heart of NYC for Grand Theft Auto and Nintendo fans to be among the first to take home a copy of the game Official Nintendo Magazine says could be “the best game on the DS so far”, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars.
When the doors open, the first 100 fans will be rewarded with exclusive collectible gear including Grand Theft Auto Kubrick sets, custom DS-Lites and limited-edition Rockstar apparel.

“Although we have another cool project in the works at the moment and we need to see how good Swords & Soldiers is going to do, I am sure we will make a sequel of the game, we already have pages and pages filled with ideas for that game.” – Fabian Akker (Co-Founder) of Ronimo Games
I’ve been impressed with what I have seen from Swords & Soldiers thus far. If the game plays as good as it looks, I’d be more than happy to see a sequel on WiiWare.
Thanks to James for the news tip.

Looks like this is an announcement of sorts for Pokemon Platinum. This is a bit of a letdown, but Nintendo has not been known for announcing new titles through emails.
