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.

Here is the all encompassing list of games scheduled to come out for the Wii and the DS until the first quarter of next year.

So we have heard a lot of tales and have all imagined that the Wii would be a perfect fit for a Star Wars Lightsaber adaptation and it looks like the real thing will be on display at GameCity. Gamers will get a chance to hack and slash while playing with the Lego Star Wars Complete Saga game from LucasArts. I wonder if the will make a double sided version for the Darth Maul enthusiasts?

From the official press release:

11th October 2007. Feel and Play The Force at GameCity (www.gamecity.org). Visitors to the world’s most exciting game festival are to be the first in the world get their hands on the Wii® lightsaber, in LucasArts’ Lego® Star Wars™: The Complete Saga re-mastered and shown in glorious HD.

Let’s face it, Lego’s are all the rage these days. From video games using them to toys about video game characters, everybody wants some Lego Lovin.

Marcus Fenix, the ever popular main character from Gears of War, has now been immortalized in Lego glory. The guys over at Brickshelf put this together for everyone’s enjoyment. Check their site for more pictures.

I want instructions, because I need one of these. I’m a huge fan of gaming relating toys to fill my desk.

Yes, lots of L’s. Thanks to colton_anderson for making this cool Lego logo for us.

We’re big fans of all things Lego, so this is right up our alley.

Hands-On Mobile™, the world’s leading developer of connected games and applications, today announced the launch of the LEGO® Brick Breaker mobile game. Developed and published in partnership with Kiloo and TT Publishing, LEGO Brick Breaker combines addictive arcade gameplay with an engaging storyline, all wrapped round the fun and universally recognised LEGO brand.

That’s right, the people at LEGO are extending their franchise to all of our favorite semi-action films of the 80s. This time, we get LEGO Indiana Jones. The game looks to be very fun, in true LEGO game fashion.

Finally we will be able to control an actual light saber from the safety of our living rooms. Our friends at computerandvideogames.com report that the Wiimote will be used in the upcoming release of Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga. It is not a quantum leap, but definitely a step in a positive direction. What self respecting Star Wars fan doesn’t want to wield a light saber? The Z button will do most of the lego and weapons work but the waggle will constitute the actual use of the saber with striking and deflecting blasts. You know someone is going to dress as a Jedi and lock the door. You just know it’ll come to that.

This is a Lego stop motion film, funny as hell, I am a sucker for Legos. Enjoy

We got word today that the Lego Group has released and official name and tentative release date.

Lego Universe, as it’s being called, will hit the streets in the fourth quarter of 2008.

From the press release:

The full-featured MMOG will be complete with character advancement, expansive social and community features, and will provide a child-safe alternative to other MMOGs on the market. As a player, you’ll be able to customize your mini-figs and interact in the universe as any character you choose, providing unique opportunities for players to expand and explore with their creations.

No word yet on what platforms the game will be released for, but I would expect a PC and console release. I’d also expect a low, if any, monthly fee since the game is being pushed for younger players. We’ll see what happens in a year and a half…
