Nintendo is replying – here they are, now shut up!
This is a huge list of games that will put the library of Wii titles close to 150 (not counting Virtual Console games) and the DS titles close to 450.

I thnk Nintendo really wants to show everyone that not only Nintendo developed games are scheduled ot hit the console but also a lot of third party games as well, many have speculated that third party developers would shy away from the unique controls.

Nintendo announced this morning that you will be able to download DS demos via your Wii in the comfort of your own home instead of having to go to a download station in an official Nintendo store. This is an awesome feature that is long overdo, now Nintendo needs to pony up and get with some remote play action like Sony is trying. I will definitely use my DS more if I can try out games and see what they are like before going out to buy them.

In addition, Nintendo will host a daily Super Smash Bros. Brawl tournament. Competitors get a free Wii-themed T-shirt, and a different T-shirt will be available each day of the show.

Nintendo announced that a new color scheme is available for the Nintendo DS in the United States: Crimson and Onyx. This color combination was previously only available in a Brain Age 2 bundle. Here’s what Nintendo thinks:

Playing the new two-tone Crimson/Onyx Nintendo DS™ is sure to get you noticed. Just like the hottest new cell phones and MP3 players, it combines incredible functionality with a sweet look: bright red coupled with smooth black.

I’m not sure it’s going to get you noticed as much as an iPhone, but the bold color scheme might turn the heads of some gamers.

As most of you now know ths editor was invited to spend last Friday at the official EA compound where I got a chance to check out both version of the new MySims title on the Wii and the DS. Loot Ninja was invited as well as a few other sites, Destructoid, GamingSteve, GearDiary, WiiWiiTv, TechnaBob and BlogCritics and we all had a great time and a lot of opportunities to get hands on with both tiles.

I will start off by discussing ths Wii version. Let me start off by saying that the Wii version takes cuteness to a whole new level. The design of the new MySims is a 180 degree difference from the traditional Sims titles we are all used to, they are heavily inspired by Japanese anime have plenty of Nintendo flair. The most interesting thing is that the art direction was done by the saem gentleman that did the art for God of War, two totally different ends of the spectrum, but both looking very vibrant.
