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.

A lot of gamers have complained of their systems getting very hot and until now the Wii didn’t have a solution. Nyko has just shipped out the Intercooler for Wii systems to help keep your Wii nice and frosty. Maybe now I can lie my Wii down without fear of it catching fire, although the design of the Intercooler does look a bit spotty with a “made in a sweat shop factory feel”, but let’s see how it does.

From the official press realease:

Los Angeles, CA – October 10, 2007 – Nyko Technologies®, a premier peripherals manufacturer, announced today that it has shipped the Intercooler for Wii to retailers nationwide, giving Wii gamers the ultimate solution for keeping their innovative console running under optimal conditions.

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.

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.

A bit more news on the much anticipated Super Smash Bros. Brawl, it looks like the fuzzzy blue hedgehog, Sonic, we have grown to love over the years will make an appearance. I wonder what kind of moves he will get and if this means we can also expect possibly Tails and Knuckles? I think next character they should add in is everyone’s own Loot Ninja, what do you think?

From the official press release:

SEGA’s gaming legend Sonic The Hedgehog to feature in Super Smash Bros Brawl for Wii

One of my main complaints with the Wii as a whole, aside from lack of titles and fear of the controls being just a 15 minute fad, is that the Mii’s which everyone spends a lot of time creating aren’t utilized as much as they should be. Looks like Nintendo heard our cries and is starting to incorporate them into future titles.

We already knew that Mii’s would show up as playable charcters in the new 2k sports title MLB Power Pros, but now after reading a buddies site from across the pond, we see that perhaps we could see some Mii action in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games. Good for the Mii’s, I can’t wait to whoop some Sonic ass using my Hulk Hogan Mii!

Most people that have managed to find a Wii are in love with Wii Sports. particularly with the bowling and the baseball. We have already seen some other iterations of the bowling games, but now Wii Baseball gets some competition with MLB Power Pros.

MLB Power Pros is a Japanese title that focses on pick up and play baseball using super cute little characters. Of most interest to me in this title is the ability to put your Mii’s into baseball games; I want to make a cartoon version of myself to play firstbase for the New York Yankees. Stay tuned for a full review of this title coming soon for the Wii. MLB Power Pros is also available for the PS2 if you don’t have a Wii yet.

Nintendo is adding NeoGeo games from the defunct import console that cost almost 600 dollars upon release. Here is a list of the three new games and a little description of each.

Fatal Fury for 900 Wii points:

Released in 1991 and one of the longest-running series in the fighting-game genre, this title introduced players to Terry Bogard, Andy Bogard and Joe Higashi. Select one of the three and visit many locations as your chosen fighter engages in numerous street fights around the fictional city of South Town. If you’re good enough, you’ll eventually take on Billy Kane and then his boss, the notorious crime lord Geese Howard. Use each fighter’s own finishing maneuver and battle in two different planes on the screen, one in the foreground and the other farther away in the background. The game also features a two-player mode that is well known for its unique setup, which allows fighters to both fight and help each other. Do you have what it takes to win the King of Fighters tournament?
