		<description><![CDATA[Nintendo had its own self-promotion conference today. News from the show ranges covers DSi XL, Metroid: Other M, Super Mario Galaxy 2 and loads of other smaller games.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Media Summits and corporate conferences are in the air, as <a title="Nintendo" href="/tag/nintendo" target="_self">Nintendo</a> had their own version of the former today in San Francisco. Much of the info from the conference involved releases dates and an emphasis or re-emphasis on Nintendo&#8217;s best-loved brands with upcoming games. Without further ado, here is Nintendo&#8217;s official press release regarding the media briefing:</p>
<blockquote><p>The new Nintendo DSi XL hand-held system launches March 28 at a suggested retail price of $189.99. The screens of the Nintendo DSi XL are 93 percent larger than those of the Nintendo DS Lite model, providing a more vivid and engaging play experience. The screens of the Nintendo DSi XL also feature a wider viewing angle, letting friends and family members join the fun. The new system launches in both Burgundy and Bronze colors, and comes loaded with pre-installed premium software Brain Age Express: Arts &amp; Letters, Brain Age Express: Math and Photo Clock, as well as two free applications: the Nintendo DSi Browser and Flipnote Studio. Nintendo DSi XL will also come with a larger pen-like stylus that allows for a more comfortable grip and enhanced ease of use when playing games that use the Nintendo DS touch screen. America’s Test Kitchen: Let’s Get Cooking and WarioWare: D.I.Y. will also launch for the Nintendo DS family of products on March 28, providing consumers with new content that can be enjoyed on any Nintendo DS system. Games like these demonstrate the enhanced experience available with the Nintendo DSi XL.</p>
<p>Super Mario Galaxy 2, the sequel to the smash-hit galaxy-hopping original game, launches May 23 for the Wii console. The game includes the amazing gravity-defying, physics-based exploration from the first game, but is loaded with entirely new galaxies and features to challenge and delight players. On some stages, Mario can pair up with his dinosaur buddy Yoshi and use his tongue to grab items and spit them back at enemies. Players can also have fun with new items such as a drill that lets our hero tunnel through solid rock.</p>
<p>Metroid: Other M, the incredible new Metroid game developed for Wii through a collaboration by Nintendo and the world-renowned Team Ninja, launches June 27. The game looks at the classic franchise from a new perspective: While much of the game is reminiscent of 2-D side-scrollers, players can switch the perspective into 3-D at any time as they explore the twisting passages of a derelict space station and delve deep into a cinematic, never-before-told story of bounty hunter Samus Aran’s past. This new approach uses a new control scheme in which players use the Wii Remote controller held sideways to battle enemies and navigate the expansive, gorgeous environments in classic Metroid fashion, then aim at the screen with the Wii Remote pointer to blast foes in first-person and hunt the world for clues and hidden passages.</p>
<p>In a unique partnership with Square-Enix, Nintendo of America will publish Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies in the Americas when the game arrives in summer 2010. Dragon Quest IX has sold more than 4.15 million copies in the Japanese market. Nintendo and Square-Enix will now work together to bring this title to the Nintendo DS consumer base in the Americas.</p>
<p>Capcom’s Monster Hunter Tri, an epic action game for Wii, launches in the United States on April 20. The game lets players customize their character, armor and weapons in order to protect a town from majestic monsters as that town rebuilds following a devastating earthquake. Online play will be available for all players with broadband Internet access at no additional cost. Online text chat is fully functional and online voice chat is enabled using the Wii Speak microphone, which is sold separately. At a suggested retail price of $59.99, limited quantities of Monster Hunter Tri will include the new Black Classic Controller Pro, while both Black and White versions of the controller will be available separately at a suggested retail price of $19.99. The game will also be available without a controller at a suggested retail price of $49.99.</p>
<p>Sin and Punishment: Star Successor, the breakthrough shooter game for Wii from legendary developer Treasure, will launch across North America on June 7. The game features nonstop action with two playable characters and international online leaderboards to track high scores. Using the Wii Remote pointer functionality, the game offers unprecedented precision in the shooter genre.</p>
<p>FlingSmash for Wii will test players’ Wii Remote skills as they bounce a ball-like hero through countless side-scrolling stages, combining the precision of racket sports with the unpredictable fun of pinball. Playable only with the Wii MotionPlus accessory, the game will launch this summer.</p>
<p>Picross 3D is poised to become a puzzle game phenomenon when it launches for the Nintendo DS family of products on May 3. In Picross 3D, players start with a cube and smash away smaller blocks to reveal an object, shape or symbol. Delivering more than 350 unique puzzles and more made available for download on a regular basis after launch via the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service (broadband Internet access required), the game takes the mind-bending fun of Picross into the next dimension.</p>
<p>100 Classic Books transforms the Nintendo DS family of products into a library of timeless literature when it launches on June 14 at a suggested retail price of $19.99, highlighted by 100 works from authors such as William Shakespeare, Jules Verne, Jane Austen, Mark Twain and more. Readers can adjust the size of text, place bookmarks and even download new content via the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service (broadband Internet connection required).</p>
<p>Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands from Ubisoft will launch May 18 on both the Wii and Nintendo DS platforms. Boasting amazing graphics with fantastic action and puzzle-solving game play, the Wii version will be the first in franchise history to feature a two-player cooperative experience. As an added bonus, the Wii version of the game will exclusively include the 1992 Super NES version of the original Prince of Persia game.</p>
<p>Disney Guilty Party is the official title of the highly anticipated first collaboration between Disney Interactive Studios and its recently acquired studio, Wideload Games. The fun and hilarious mystery party game is set for release in the second half of 2010, exclusively for Wii.</p>
<p>Majesco’s Nintendo DSi exclusive Ghostwire: Link to the Paranormal uses incredible augmented reality technology through the Nintendo DSi Camera. Launching this October, the game lets players become a ghost hunter as they interact with the paranormal.</p></blockquote>
<p>Additionally, Nintendo also announced that a plethora of games will be downloadable on the <a title="Wii" href="/tag/wii" target="_self">Wii</a> Shop Channel and on the <a title="DSi" href="/tag/dsi" target="_self">DSi</a> Shop soon. Again, here is Nintendo&#8217;s release on these games:</p>
<p><strong> For WiiWare:</strong></p>
<p>Launching on March 1, Capcom’s Mega Man 10 builds upon the huge impact of Mega Man 9, a completely new adventure rendered in classic 8-bit style. This new game looks and sounds as awesomely retro as its predecessor.</p>
<p>Launching on March 8, Max &amp; the Magic Marker from Press Play turns the Wii Remote into an orange magic marker that’s literally magic. Players draw lines and objects to help Max reach objects and his ultimate goal.</p>
<p>The long-awaited indie cult classic Cave Story comes to WiiWare with new game play, artwork and music enhancements on March 22. It’s classic gaming reborn for 2010.</p>
<p>Launching on March 29, WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase is a standalone product exclusive to the WiiWare service and available only from the Wii Shop Channel. The game contains more than 70 new microgames and features interoperability with the WarioWare: D.I.Y. game for the Nintendo DS family of products. Players that own both games can transfer content between the two via a local wireless connection, and can even play user-created microgames on their television using WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase.</p>
<p>As the techno music pulses, Nintendo’s Art Style: light trax puts players in charge of a white beam of light as it engages in a surreal race against other beams across a dark track. Players must keep away from obstacles, use items and look for power boosts if they want to finish first. Art Style: light trax launches this spring.</p>
<p>Swim and spin through the primordial ooze in Nintendo’s Art Style: Rotozoa as you absorb tiny organisms that match the colors of your tentacles. As you absorb more organisms, your tentacles grow. The challenge increases as additional tentacles are gained, but power-ups can help you survive and thrive. Art Style: Rotozoa launches this spring.</p>
<p>Launching this spring, Rage of the Gladiator from Ghostfire Games is an intense fighting game that asks players to perfect their well-timed moves against an array of opponents. The game is compatible with the Wii MotionPlus accessory.</p>
<p>Launching this spring, And Yet It Moves from Broken Rules requires players to rotate the world to help their line-drawn protagonist progress. Walls become floors and floors become ceilings in this surreal twist on the platformer genre.</p>
<p>Launching this summer, Independent Games Festival Seumas McNally Grand Prize Finalist Super Meat Boy from Team Meat sets a cube of meat off on an adventure to save Princess Bandage. This off-the-wall game is not for the faint of heart.</p>
<p><strong>For Nintendo DSiWare:</strong></p>
<p>Nintendo’s Photo Dojo is poised to be the cult hit of 2010 when it launches this spring. The game first asks players to pose for 13 pictures and input 10 sound effects. Once that’s done, the player becomes the main character in a hilarious side-scrolling fighting game. Create up to eight characters and do battle alone or against a friend on a single Nintendo DSi or Nintendo DSi XL system.</p>
<p>Launching this spring, Nintendo’s Metal Torrent delivers a frantic barrage of gunfire that fills the screen. Players try to convert opponents’ bullets into cubes that, when collected, increase their score and fill an energy meter that powers special weapons. Online Leaderboards record scores and movies of top games.</p>
<p>Launching this spring, X-Scape from Nintendo immerses players in an exploratory adventure involving more than 20 planets. Players will pilot their tank through 3-D tunnels, fire at enemies and even battle ancient weapons that resemble giant robots.</p>
<p>“Nintendo finished 2009 with a bang, and we’re continuing our momentum into 2010,” said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales &amp; Marketing. “With Nintendo DSi XL, Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Metroid: Other M coming in the first six months of the year, we’re making sure all our fans have great game content to enjoy year-round.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Coming to Wii and Nintendo DS is Batman: The Brave and the Bold the Videogame, Warner Bros and DC Comics announced today. It will be released in fall 2010.</p>
<blockquote><p>The game provides maximum replay value to those who own both the Wii and  Nintendo DS versions by allowing them to connect the two systems to  unlock BAT-MITE as a playable character.

<p>Who the hell is BAT-MITE? Yes, I&#8217;m a Batman noob. Fine. But BAT-MITE sounds like a parasite or something. Almost like BAT-CRABS. Watch out for that.</p>

This offering is the latest in the series, and the first starring former supporting character Miles Edgeworth.</p>
<blockquote><p>Ace Attorney INVESTIGATIONS: Miles Edgeworth sheds light on the other side of the judicial system by bringing a whole new gameplay dynamic to the world of Ace Attorney. By using Nintendo DS touch pad capabilities, users will guide Miles Edgeworth through various locations, examine and analyze clues, work directly with characters on the scene, find contradictions in suspect statements, and get to the truth by presenting decisive evidence. Miles Edgeworth can also make use of the all-new “Logic” system, in which he chooses two pieces of information out of the various pieces he has collected and “combines” them to discover new information. Ace Attorney INVESTIGATIONS: Miles Edgeworth features several lengthy, interrelated episodes that will require players to use deductive reasoning to assist Miles Edgeworth in cracking the case.</p></blockquote>

At the end of Sonic The Hedgehog 3, Dr. Eggman&#8217;s ultimate orbital weapon for global domination, the Death Egg, was badly damaged in an epic battle with Sonic. The Death Egg, losing power rapidly, hurtled back down to the planet below and crash-landed on the mysterious Angel Island again.

This game features Lock-On Technology, which allows you to play as Knuckles in other Sonic titles available for the Virtual Console, including Sonic The Hedgehog 2 and Sonic The Hedgehog 3, as long as these titles are part of your Virtual Console library.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the most popular series on DS, Ace Attorney, has a new game coming out in a couple weeks and has released a demo to give gamers a taste. Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth is available on the Nintendo Channel and DS download stations at select retailers. The full game will be out on February 16th.</p>
<p>Ace Attorney Investigations sheds light on the other side of the judicial system with a whole new gameplay dynamic to the world of Ace Attorney. As Miles Edgeworth, users will investigate various locations, work directly with characters on the scene, find contradictions, and get to the truth by presenting decisive evidence. Miles Edgeworth can also make use of the all-new “Logic” system, in which he chooses two pieces of information out of the various pieces he has collected and “combines” them to discover new information.   Ace Attorney Investigations features several lengthy, interrelated episodes that will challenge players to use their minds to solve the series of crimes that have been committed around Miles Edgeworth.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One thing I&#8217;d love to do would be to go back in time and present one of our current video game consoles to those Atari and Nintendo programmers in the 1980s. Their heads would explode. But I digress. Here are the latest downloads for your Nintendo DSi and Wii.</p>
<blockquote><p>Nintendo DSiWare</p>
<p><strong>Trajectile</strong><br />
Publisher: Nintendo<br />
Players: 1<br />
ESRB Rating: E (Everyone)<br />
Price: 500 Nintendo DSi Points™<br />
Description: Trajectile is a puzzle game that&#8217;s as much about firepower as it is about brainpower, requiring you to line up your shot and launch a flurry of missiles at enemy targets. Three types of missiles are at your disposal, each one with its own characteristics &#8211; but all of them can bounce off walls on their path to smash, blast or drill through enemies and blocks. Along the way, you&#8217;ll find item blocks just waiting to be destroyed so that you can obtain special power-ups &#8230; and cause even more destruction. Be careful though, as missile type and position are predetermined and you get only a limited number of launches per stage. Complete multiple classes containing numerous individual stages, earning medals when you clear stages in fewer than the given number of turns. Are you ready to take aim at becoming a Trajectile master?</p>
<p><strong>Animal Puzzle Adventure</strong><br />
Publisher: Aksys Games<br />
Players: 1<br />
ESRB Rating: E10+ (Everyone 10 and Older) &#8211; Mild Suggestive Themes<br />
Price: 500 Nintendo DSi Points<br />
Description: Animal Puzzle Adventure is a simple puzzle game where you have to lead various animals to their respective barns placed on the map, while avoiding pitfalls and cliffs and using the objects on the field to your advantage. There are 10 stages per level with a total of five levels, creating 50 stages in all. After clearing a stage, you unlock a piece of a photo. Once you clear all 10 stages in a level, the wallpaper for that level becomes unlocked and you can then view it in the gallery. With so many puzzles to unravel, you&#8217;ll find yourself immersed in the puzzle-riffic world of Animal Puzzle Adventure.</p>
<p><strong>Hell&#8217;s Kitchen Vs.</strong><br />
Publisher: Ludia<br />
Players: 1-2<br />
ESRB Rating: E (Everyone)<br />
Price: 800 Nintendo DSi Points<br />
Description: Hell&#8217;s Kitchen Vs. is based on the U.S. TV phenomenon where world-renowned chef Gordon Ramsay puts aspiring chefs through rigorous culinary tests. The game recreates the show&#8217;s pressure-cooker atmosphere as two players battle head-to-head in an arcade-style kitchen challenge. Try to conquer your opponent in each time-management test, while taking the heat of Gordon Ramsay judging and rating your performance at every stage of the game.</p>
<p>WiiWare</p>
<p><strong>Heron: Steam Machine</strong><br />
Publisher: Triangle Studios<br />
Players: 1-4<br />
ESRB Rating: E (Everyone)<br />
Price: 500 Wii Points™<br />
Description: Heron: Steam Machine is a game about a factory where rubber duckies are being produced by a large steam engine. On this steam engine, there are four different gauges which you will have to watch carefully. By connecting the pipes, you will earn points and relieve some of the pressure, keeping the machine running just a little bit longer. If one of the gauges reaches its maximum, the machine will eventually blow up, and the game is over. If you were lucky enough to achieve a high score, make sure you enter your name in the list so other players can compete with you. In Multiplayer, you are able to cooperate with friends in maintaining the steam machine. When you play with two, three or four players, the screen is divided into sections with different background colors. Each player is able to solve his or her own part of the puzzle. Players are restricted to their own section of the screen, so you will have to work together to make the pipes fit properly. (Additional accessories are required for multiplayer play and are sold separately.)</p>
<p><strong>Pub Darts</strong><br />
Publisher: Big Blue Bubble Inc.<br />
Players: 1-4<br />
ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) &#8211; Alcohol Reference<br />
Price: 500 Wii Points<br />
Description: Pub Darts is a simple darts simulation which uses the Wii Remote™ controller&#8217;s unique controls to mimic dart-throwing motion. The game is set in a local pub where the players will settle in to play some of their favorite dart games, including 501, Cricket, Around the Clock, Killers and Baseball. Controls function just like throwing a real dart. Players are able to create their own personal profiles, including selecting their avatar image from a collection of creative characters and the design they would like displayed on the dart flights.</p>
<p><strong>Fast Draw Showdown</strong><br />
Publisher: Digital Leisure Inc.<br />
Players: 1-2<br />
ESRB Rating: T (Teen) &#8211; Alcohol Reference, Violence<br />
Price: 500 Wii Points<br />
Description: When it comes to fast draw there&#8217;re only two types of people: the quick &#8230; and the dead! Now you have the chance to find out where you stand, or lie, as the case may be. You&#8217;ll go up against the best quick draws in the business, including one of the world&#8217;s fastest, Wes Flowers. Unholster your Wii Remote controller and show &#8216;em who the fastest draw really is, in this live-action shooter. You can even take on a friend in multiplayer modes, and see which of you has the quickest draw. You&#8217;ll need some serious speed and awesome accuracy to take on these gunslingers &#8230; so get ready for some real fast draw action.</p>

Metro City&#8217;s mayor, Mike Haggar, and Guy are prepared to take on the new gang, but before they can act, the door bursts open, revealing Lucia, Cody&#8217;s old friend. &#8220;Metro City is under attack!&#8221; she shouts, &#8220;Skull Cross is loose, and they&#8217;ve got something up their sleeves.&#8221; But before any of them can move, a mysterious man appears in the doorway. &#8220;My name is Dean,&#8221; he says. &#8220;I know Skull Cross inside-and-out, and I hate them more than anything. I can help you, and you can help me. We must go!&#8221; All four fighters vow to bring Skull Cross down. It will be a tough assignment, and may even be their final fight!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[I outline the major game releases for today, all intended for you to spend your money.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The holiday season is in full swing for video game retail and many games are finally seeing light today:</p>
<p><a title="Electronic Arts" href="/tag/ea" target="_self">EA</a> is having a big day today, with 3 major releases in <a title="Dragon Age: Origins" href="/tag/dragon-age-origins" target="_self">Dragon Age: Origins</a> (Xbox 360, Playstation 3, PC), <a title="Need for Speed: Nitro" href="/tag/need-for-speed-nitro" target="_self">Need for Speed Nitro</a> (Wii), and <a title="LEGO Rock Band" href="/tag/lego-rock-band" target="_self">Lego Rock Band</a> (Xb360, PS3, Wii, DS). Dragon Age: Origins is an epic Fantasy-RPG with diverse choices and quests. One interesting &#8220;hook&#8221; of the game is that players&#8217; starting positions in the story and location in-game will be based on their character design choices. The game is developed by <a title="BioWare" href="/tag/bioware" target="_self">BioWare</a> (<a title="Mass Effect" href="/tag/mass-effect" target="_self">Mass Effect</a>, Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic), a company that has built a very respectable reputation for aiming for ambitious targets in their games and hitting them. Need for Speed: Nitro is a Wii-exclusive racing game where players can race at various locations around the globe. This is the first Need for Speed title in recent years for Wii developed by EA Montreal. Fans of the series have considered the past few iterations to be less than stellar, and look for EA Montreal to output a better version this year. After seeing Need for Speed: Shift&#8217;s innovative new approach and success, hopefully Nitro will carry the torch just as well. Following up on the Rock Band centering on <a title="The Beatles Rock Band" href="/tag/the-beatles-rock-band" target="_self">The Beatles</a> from September EA is today releasing Lego Rock Band, a title intended for younger gamers. Lego Rock Band&#8217;s music library includes E-rated pop songs from Elton John, The White Stripes, and Bon Jovi.</p>
<p>The other big music game hitting stores today is <a title="Activision" href="/tag/activision" target="_self">Activision</a>&#8217;s <a title="Band Hero" href="/tag/band-hero" target="_self">Band Hero</a> (Xb360, PS3, Wii) which is seen as LEGO Rock Band&#8217;s direct competition. Band Hero also features a pop-heavy library with songs from Taylor Swift, No Doubt, and 3 Doors Down.</p>
<p>Another title which may or may not be considered a &#8220;new&#8221; release is the <a title="Star Wars Force Unleashed" href="/tag/star-wars-force-unleashed" class="broken_link"  target="_self">Star War Force Unleashed</a> Ultimate Sith Edition (Xb360, PS3, PC) from <a title="LucasArts" href="/tag/lucasarts" target="_self">LucasArts</a>, which includes <a title="LucasArts Announces Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Additions" href="/2009/07/26/lucasarts-announces-star-wars-the-force-unleashed-additions/" target="_self">two extra missions</a> from the Original Trilogy set in Tatooine and Hoth and retails for $39.99. Additionally, PSP owners will also be able to experience the Star Wars universe today in <a title="Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron" href="/tag/star-wars-battlefront-elite-squadron" target="_self">Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron</a>.</p>
<p>Dirt 2 for PC is coming out today, a few weeks after the consoles versions. The reason for this is that <a title="Codemasters" href="/tag/codemasters" target="_self">Codemasters</a> took time to develop the game for Windows 7 and <a title="DirectX 11-Powered Dirt 2 Shown at Windows 7 Launch" href="/2009/10/22/directx-11-powered-dirt-2-shows-at-windows-7-launch-event/" target="_self">DirectX 11</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Never a company to rest on their laurels especially when it comes to handhelds, <a title="Nintendo" href="/tag/nintendo" target="_self">Nintendo</a> has announced a new iteration of the <a title="DSi" href="/tag/dsi" target="_self">DSi</a>. The DSi LL will be an even larger system, with a 4.2&#8243; screen that is 93% larger than the DS Lite&#8217;s. The system will be released on November 21st and will be 20,000 yen (about 220 USD). There is no word on whether or not European and US gamers will be able to pick up the system in their home nations. <strong>UPDATE: </strong>Nintendo recently confirmed to VG247 that the DSi LL will be released in Europe in the First Quarter of 2010, and at a higher price than the DSi. It will be called the DSi XL. [<a title="Euro DSiLL confirmed for Q1 2010 at “higher” price of DSi" href="http://www.vg247.com/2009/10/29/euro-dsill-confirmed-for-q1-2010-at-higher-price-of-dsi/" target="_blank">source</a>]</p>
<p>Like other DS systems, the DSi LL comes with two styluses and a charger, but also comes with three already installed DSiWare titles: DS Easy Dictionary and two Brain Training games.</p>
<p>I am not sure of Nintendo&#8217;s strategy with this system, whether it is another toy for Japanese consumers or an answer to the <a title="PSPgo" href="/tag/pspgo" target="_self">PSPgo</a>. Nonetheless, it seems as though every time I turn around, Nintendo or <a title="Sony" href="/tag/sony" target="_self">Sony</a> are releasing a new handheld. Maybe I am stretching a bit, as the original DS was released in 2004 and has only now had three subsequent iterations, and the <a title="PSP" href="/tag/psp" target="_self">PSP</a> with four in just as many years. Regardless, Nintendo rarely missteps with their handhelds and considering their popularity, I will not be surprised if we get one here in North America.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Guitar Hero has more than 1 million fans on Facebook. That is alot.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In a bit of news that, while different from most industry announcements, is probably a sign of what is to come for gaming as one million Facebook users are &#8216;fans&#8217; of <a title="Guitar Hero" href="/tag/guitar-hero" target="_self">Guitar Hero</a>.</p>
<p>When considering how many copies of Guitar Hero have been sold during the life of the franchise, 1 million seems like a paltry number. <a title="Activision" href="/tag/activision" target="_self">Activision</a> has moved 38 million copies within the franchise, with 7 million alone sold this year. However, no other game or game franchise can claim to have 1 million certain fans.</p>
<p>A large part of the appeal of Guitar Hero&#8217;s Facebook page is the amount of GH content that people can access while logged into the social networking platform. The page includes the latest information on the Guitar Hero games, fan stories about their Guitar Hero experiences, as well as exclusive info on past, current, and future games.</p>
