Nintendo’s Wario, Kirby Bring The Fun; Sleuths Get A New Mystery Case Files Game
While the game world awaits the E3 Media & Business Summit in Los Angeles next month, Nintendo isn’t waiting to announce new titles for its mushrooming libraries for the Wii console and Nintendo DS. Classic Nintendo characters like bad-boy Wario and pink powerhouse Kirby will star in their own platform games. A new Mystery Case Files game brings the best-selling Big Fish Games franchise ...
Nintendo to announce “several new titles” for core gamers at E3
Believe it or not, Nintendo says there will be hardcore blood at E3 this year, in the form of new game announcements intended for dedicated gamers, that is. GamePro has the scoop: “We recently announced the upcoming release of Mario Super Sluggers,” said Marc Franklin, director of public relations at Nintendo, when asked by GamePro on Friday which upcoming Wii titles core gamers should...
Don’t forget Kirby; pink puff probable at E3?
The E3 media blitz is just over the horizon, and the Infendo offices are littered with scribbled rumors and speculative e-mails concerning all sorts of high-profile Wii games. From Kid Icarus to Animal Crossing, and from Mega Man to Donkey Kong, we have been covering the rumors and checking our sources for the latest on each of these possible E3 revelations. But in my search for new tips this afte...
Redmond source: Nintendo to announce new 2D Donkey Kong at E3
A Redmond source e-mailed Infendo Tuesday with a tip about one of those E3 surprises Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime mentioned on GameTrailers TV earlier this year. Here is the tip, as sent to Infendo: “I had my friend at Nintendo check around for any mention of big games, and per their investigation, the new game announcement is Donkey Kong Country, in 2D! Yes, it is going ba...
Unfounded DS Rumor – Virtual Console and DSware announcement for E3
Consider this sort of a rebuttal to Jake’s post from earlier today. While I don’t believe that Nintendo will announce DS 2 or DS Lite++, I think we’ll see something new for the hottest handheld in the world. I think we’ll see Nintendo bust out a legalized version of the R4 or other such storage device. It’ll allow the DS to reap the same benefits the Wii has for downl...
Reggie promises second half lineup, big surprise for “gamers” at E3
The Nintendo lineup for the first half of 2008 is pretty well known. Wii Fit, Mario Kart Wii, Super Smash Bros. Brawl… oh, and there’s that DS thing too, which continues to sell in spite of the fact that I don’t think there are any more people left to buy the thing. NPD numbers say I’m wrong, of course, but still… 500k in February? The month is videogame doldrums as f...
Smash Bros. Tournament, Galaxy hands-on at E for All
Anyone lucky enough to be heading to E for All — and yes, I just said “lucky enough” — will get a chance to play Super Mario Galaxy and Smash Bros. Brawl. Nintendo’s PR firm just pinged the Infendo mailbox with the good news… and there’s more: Nintendo will be showing a huge lineup of cool games for both Wii and Nintendo DS, including the hugely anticipate...
E for All: Consumers don’t really matter?
Basically, all the signs and portents say that E for All — the consumer-focused conference meant to replace E3 — is going to be dead on arrival when it begins in mid-October. There’s no Microsoft presence there, nor Sony, nor Activision, Capcom, NCSoft, Sega, Midway, etc. EA is rumored to be on the cusp of bowing out. The only company of note still committed to the conference is ...
