Mario to Deliver Major-League Excitement as Seattle Mariners Face New York Yankees
Nintendo’s Star Player Gives Fans a Shot at Mario Super Sluggers for Wii
WHAT:
The action at Seattle’s Safeco Field will be wilder than ever on Sept. 5 when video game icon Mario™ takes over the diamond. While the hometown Mariners square off against the New York Yankees, Nintendo’s world-famous plumber will give spectators even more to cheer about, offering fans a special opportunity to enjoy his latest game for the Wii™ console, Mario™ Super Sluggers.
ANKH: CURSE OF THE SCARAB KING (DS) DISTINGUISHED BY WITTY HUMOUR AND UNIQUE CHARACTERISATION
XIDER Games will soon release Ankh: Curse of the Scarab King on Nintendo DS. Players will meet vibrant and entertaining characters, including evil assassins, royal guards and strict bouncers on their quest to save Assil. Each character is important and could hold vital information or tools that will thwart the Mummy’s fatal curse.
Individual characters have been designed to add humour to the game by portraying modern ways of life in an ancient time. This is seen in Bakshish, the souvenir salesman who operates by the ancient Sphinx; Tarok and Blackeye, mercenary assassins with a surprising amount of knowledge about videogame developers, and Bulbul the bouncer from the fashionable club, Camella Loca.
I’m not sure I’ve heard anyone say that we’re pleased with its sales [Zack and Wiki] and alas, I can’t really comment on the prospects of a sequel. I think there was a lot learned from the title though. – Christian Svensson, Corporate Officer/VP of Strategic Planning & Business Development

Wondering if the Virtual Console will ever house classic Capcom titles such as DuckTales? Sadly, the chances are pretty slim. Capcom’s Corporate Officer/VP of Strategic Planning & Business Development Christian Svensson has given the news that licensing issues are preventing the releases of Capcom-developed games such as DuckTales, TaleSpin, Darkwing Duck. “Licensing issues abound. I think you’d be hard pressed to see them show up, but you never know.”
