Way back Matt Casamassina talked about a frachise revival that would get announced at E3. That day came with no announcement. We then heard that the news got held back for unknown reasons. Now that story is back through another Wii-k in Review podcast.

“A major classic franchise will be returning to Wii. Get excited about the franchise and the people involved.”

You can hear more talk about this by downloading the actual podcast. Tell me your idea. I think Pit becouse one time Matt was talking to Miyamoto and they touched on a possibilty of a Pit game (This could be the reason he was included in Brawl.) But again your thoughts would be nice.

Nyko’s Perfect Shot is for Wii /shooter games, allowing players to experience tactile control and accuracy. The Perfect Shot holds the Wii remote with a secure locking system and allows players to hit the remote’s B button using a tactile trigger. The lightweight and ergonomic design allows for extended use with less strain in the arm and hand. The Perfect Shot can also be used in conjunction with other peripherals by utilizing a pass-through port. This allows players to attach a Nunchuck or Classic Controller to the unit, providing more compatibility with other titles.

The Net Connect also provides a high-speed Internet connection for the Wii, requiring only a Cat5 Ethernet cable and an existing Internet connection. With no complex setup codes or installation software, players can get their Wii online by plugging the device in to one of the Wii’s USB ports and attaching it to their home network. Once online, the players can take full advantage of the Wii’s unique online offerings, including the Opera Browser, WiiConnect24, Mii Parade, and all other online gameplay features for Wii video games.

“The Perfect Shot and Net Connect demonstrate Nyko’s commitment to providing gamers with the most useful gaming accessories on the market,” said Chris Arbogast, Marketing Manager for Nyko. “Whether you’re looking for pinpoint accuracy in your favorite shooting games or a hassle-free solution for getting your Wii online, we’re confident that both of our new products will fit your gaming needs.”

The Perfect Shot and Net Connect will be available in December for $14.99 and $24.99.

It’s been 3 years since Nintendo DS launched in the US. According to NPD Numbers , sales in October reached 13.6 million in the United States alone. That’s reason to party right?. And who else but Mario should host a nonstop Nintendo celebration? With the launch of Mario Party DS from Nintendo, you don’t have to wonder where the party is, because the party is wherever you are. You’ve got a standing invitation to party with the whimsical plumber and his outrageous pals anywhere, anytime.

 

The latest installment in the wildly popular Mario Party game series introduces five new boards and more than 70 awesome minigames, playable for the first time ever on the super-portable Nintendo DS. It’s a great value, since up to four DS owners can compete via local wireless using only one game card.

 

“The wireless features of Mario Party DS let families enjoy game time together, whether they’re on the road or lounging in the living room,” says George Harrison, Nintendo of America’s senior vice president of marketing and corporate communications. “Nintendo has the hottest products for the holidays and beyond, and we want to make sure all family members know we have something for them.”

 

Mario Party DS combines the easy-to-learn fun of classic board games, the innovative wireless features of Nintendo DS and the imaginative mayhem of the Mario universe. Up to four players of any age can use the stylus, touch-screen and built-in microphone to party their way through dozens of replayable minigames that feature classic characters and dozens of zany challenges. Whether twisting shapes, flipping burgers or battling for precious coins, everyone in the household will find something to love in this action-packed game.

It has been a little over a year since the Wii released in ‘06. There has been a ton of games to hit the Wii’s market. There has been such ground braking games to hit the such as Super Mario Galaxy, Metriod Prime 3 and Zack and Wiki: Quest for Barboros Treasure. I put together a list (You might not all agree with) of my must have games.

So here are 4 Wii games you can’t miss out on in 2007. (more…)

So today (or at least recently) Nintendo launched the completely redesigned Nintendo Web-Site. I really like the new look it goes along with the sleek look that they want(via Wii and DS). Thanks Spyker and Niner for the heads up. Does this mean the Official Nintendo Forums will be back soon?
