Nintendo winter
REDMOND, Wash., Sept. 15 - As summer draws to a close, the air begins to chill and people begin to turn their thoughts to holiday gift lists. Whether the people on your list have been playing since the 1980s or only since last week, Nintendo has you covered. The Wii™, Nintendo DS™ and Nintendo DSi™ systems have a huge selection of games for everyone on your list, including many that you won't find anywhere else.
"This extensive lineup will keep players busy throughout the fall and into 2010," said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America's executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. "Shoppers know that Nintendo offers fun for everyone in the household."
Upcoming Nintendo-published games for the Wii console include Wii Fit™ Plus (Oct. 4) and New Super Mario Bros.™ Wii (holiday 2009). These games will join the current hot seller, Wii Sports Resort™, which comes with the new precision-control Wii MotionPlus™ accessory. Fans of portable games will enjoy Pokémon™ Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky (Oct. 12), Style Savvy™ (Nov. 2) and The Legend of Zelda™: Spirit Tracks (Dec. 7) in addition to the just-released Mario & Luigi™: Bowser's Inside Story, all playable on both Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi systems.
The changing autumn leaves will be in good company with some new colors for the Nintendo DSi system and the Wii Remote™ and Nunchuk™ controllers. New White and Pink Nintendo DSi systems made their debut on Sept. 13, while a Black Wii Remote controller and Wii MotionPlus accessory package will be available this holiday season. A Black version of the Nunchuk controller will be sold separately as well.
Third-party publishers are supporting Nintendo platforms with impressive quality and wide-ranging titles. Wii exclusives like Dead Space™ Extraction from Electronic Arts and FINAL FANTASY® CRYSTAL CHRONICLES®: THE CRYSTAL BEARERS® from Square Enix will provide thrills that can't be found elsewhere. At the same time, Nintendo DS owners are anxiously awaiting another powerhouse release: KINGDOM HEARTS 358/2 DAYS from Square Enix. And Activision's Band Hero™, available on both Wii and Nintendo DS, features compelling interactivity between the two hardware systems through wireless connectivity.
Below is a partial list of upcoming games for Wii, the WiiWare™ service, Nintendo DS and the Nintendo DSiWare™ service. Note that game titles and launch dates are subject to change.

I'm interested in 4 of those games:
1. Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles
2. Final Fantasy Crystal Bearers
3. Castlevania Rebirth
4. New Super Mario Bros. Wii
I'm taking a wait and see approach to Spyborgs, Dead Space Extraction, TMNT Smash-up, and Silent Hill.
Yes they did. The first Rabbids game went multi-platform, but pretty much tanked without motion controls. After the first game Ubisoft quickly announced they would only develop the series for the Wii and DS going forward.
Nice upcoming list. Here's what I'm taking a look at:
Wii
Marvel™: Ultimate Alliance 2™
Shiren the Wanderer™
Trauma Team™
A Boy and His Blob
Wii Fit Plus
New Super Mario Bros. Wii
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles™: Smash-up
Rabbids Go Home™
WiiWare
LostWinds: Winter of the Melodias
The Oregon Trail
Harvest Moon: My Little Shop
Night Game
Couple more on the DS that I'm looking at too...
Anyways, I'll post impressions later in a thread or blog. Can't play it now but will play it tonight!
PS: I already know it's going to be good. It's averaging a 9.5 on Metacritic and Gamerankings right now! That's an amazing score!

I missed the GBC game so this looks cool. And those re-worked sprites are looking good!

Now Playing: Golden Sun Dark Dawn, God of War Ghost of Sparta, and DKC Returns
I'm interested in this as well. The graphics and gameplay looks amazing on the DS, like Monster Hunter Lite.
Better than Crystal Chronicles? I think it could be.

http://www.industrygamers.com/galleries/pachters-podium-why-wii-hd-is-a-must-xbox-360s-third-place-finish-this-holiday-and-more/1/
Q: Judging by the August NPD, PS3 sales already saw a nice sales boost thanks to the lower price. Do you think PS3 will outsell the competition this holiday season? Who do you see putting up the best holiday performance - MS, Sony or Nintendo?
Sony will see a huge spike, probably to 400,000 in September and October, but these figures remain behind Nintendo's numbers from a year ago. If Nintendo cuts price by $50, they'll stay in first place. I think Microsoft finishes third this holiday, but expect another price cut from them next year.
Nintendo can't afford to allow any potential PS3 or Xbox 360 buyer to pass up a Nintendo product in favor of the better graphics and more feature rich gameplay offered by the others. Many commentators continually state that "graphics don't matter." I completely disagree.
If one has a standard definition TV (that's 2/3 of U.S. households and 80% of European households), perhaps they don't care, since the graphics difference isn't quite as striking. However, when a household gets an HDTV, all they think about is HD content. There's a reason why every network has switched to HD programming, and it's not about being charitable.
Once the majority of households have HDTV (this should be year-end 2010 in the U.S. and year-end 2012 in Europe), the majority of households with consoles will begin to appreciate the inferior display offered by Wii games. The gameplay is great, but the experience would be more enjoyable in HD. Further, while Nintendo has its phenomenal first party lineup, third party games tend to be made "for" the Wii, and they're just not as good as the Xbox 360 or PS3 versions. Many games (GTA?) aren't made for the Wii at all. Ultimately, the Wii audience will grow more sophisticated, and will want games like BioShock and GTA, and they won't be offered on a Nintendo platform unless the platform can process content similar to what is offered on a 360 or PS3. That requires a hardware upgrade.
Who knows when? It will happen when Nintendo sees its lead eroding. They're still in first place, and likely will remain there with a $50 price cut. However, once they can make a Wii HD (I prefer Wii Plus) and price competitively with the 360 and PS3, they can legitimately say that nobody should ever buy either competitor device, since they will get all Nintendo first party titles plus comparable quality third party games. Of course, Microsoft will argue (likely successfully) that Xbox Live is a differentiator, and Sony will push Blu-ray, first party and PSN as differentiators. I think that Nintendo MUST do this to remain competitive, and think it's a fall 2010 event, driven by a need to respond to the introduction of Natal and the Sony Wand.
A who sequel? The pics are really tiny but I think I see an awesomely colorful side scroller. Hell yes.
You don't remember the Gameboy Color game called Shantae? I don't blame you. It was a very overlooked game that is also considered one of GBC's best too.
It was by WayForward, the guys who did Contra IV and working on A Boy and His Blob. I think Shantae was their first game.
It was published by Capcom. I think it also came out during the time the GBA was releasing, which is why it probably flew under the radar.
I overlooked it also. But I wish I played it...legally I might add!
Here are some screens:
It looked quite awesome for a GBC game! Also, I think the GBA version was cancelled and Mark Bozon from IGN was one of the developers!

Now this is an interesting story, some Tales of... dev talka about how Namco uses MS exclusive money hats to fund their PS3 version that comes out a year later, once the exclusive is done. But Sony doesnt want sloppy seconds so they require that there is something exclusive on their console.
“First off, it was easier developing for the Xbox 360. This is to do with the games I was involved with, but basically if you sign an exclusive contract with Microsoft (you won’t release it on other hardware for a year or similar), they will give you a lot of cash for development.Their support is also very fast and complete in these cases.
SCE don’t really give much cash out (any at all perhaps). Their support is confused and unreliable.
When I was doing it at least, the 360 was easier to develop for, which lowers costs.As a result, first we developed for the Xbox, reducing development costs. But the Xbox version won’t sell [in Japan], you can’t recoup even those lowered costs at all.
So we ported to the PS3, it’s cheaper as you already have the game done, but then Sony came back and told us ‘We won’t recognise it if it’s the same as the Xbox 360 version. Make sure you put in a lot of extra stuff!’
If we didn’t then they wouldn’t have let us pass their check…”
I have a link but it takes you to some weird site full of Japanese porn. Anime porn, Cosplay porn, bondange porn, Japanese models, crazy site. One story was about how Japanese men are abonding women for their cats. I clicked on some link that took me to topless Japanese chicks and after like 40 amazing pictures it ended with this pic of a male crotch, in underwear but the buldge was not a penis, it was a breast, weirdest thing ever.
So to protect you innocent guys from that site I won't post the link.
(Though I bet some of you have discovered this site way before I. Probably Iga.)
The first Rabbids game was ported to 360. Aside from that, nothing else has been made.
