Finally, some real Nintendo announcements. Wednesday / 10.10.07 / 08:30AM / Joe
See, now these are the kind of life-changing announcements we were all expecting at E3, not that WiiFit = Big Final Amazement crap. This is all from Nintendo's "Fall Conference," whatever the hell that was. (Links to Kotaku)
Smash Brawl delayed... but has Sonic and online co-op The article says the Japan release has been pushed to January 24, so I can't imagine the US version sticking to the previous December 3 announcement. At least now I know what I'll be using my first vacation days for in the new year.
Sonic, verified! Brawl is going to be so much bigger than we thought, friends. (Pics, movies here.)
Damn. He's huge.
Online co-op. I'm assuming this refers to the adventure mode. Now they just need to add voice chat. For Friends only!
Mario Kart Wii also delayed, but has bikes Now arriving Spring 2008 (which is a pretty wide target). Not sure if bikes means all that much to the series. Just a different kind of kart.
Square Enix: New Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles game coming as Wii Ware OK, there has GOT to be a Wii storage drive coming soon. My Wii only has 800 or so blocks left, and I'm not even a huge VC hog. Hudson and Namco also announced upcoming downloadable games, with the WiiWare service scheduled to start in Japan next March.
New Pokemon game coming as Wii Ware Hold on, I stopped caring about that Crystal Chronicles game.
Download DS Demos Via Your Wii Well that only took them a year to deliver. I hope they realize that this means I'm going to buy a lot more DS games.
I think it's safe to say that somewhere in that list is Reggie's September Surprise. Probably Sonic. |
