NiGHTS on Wii is real, no joke
Game|Life confirms what many of you may have already known, but I remained skeptical about until today (April 2): NiGHTS returns as a Wii-exclusive title sometime “this winter.” Official word from Sega early this morning is that the Wii-exclusive sequel to 1996’s Nights Into Dreams will be titled Nights: Journey of Dreams, and be released “this winter.” That’s t...
Why the Sonic-Mario game DOES matter
O, Blake. You are wise beyond your years, but on the upcoming Mario & Sonic at the Olympics title you are just out to lunch. And I thought Denver, not Salt Lake, was the Mile High City. But I digress… Here’s why you’re wrong (and I’m going to go to the dark side and have Matt Casamassina help me on this one): 1. It’s not 1995, but it is 2007. Times have changed, t...
Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games – new for DS & Wii

Whilst both companies refuse to comment at present, Spong has it on good word that is definitely in progress right now. S...
Labyrinth puzzles galore for Wii
And no, none of them star or even cameo David Bowie, and I apologize for misleading you. Three labyrinth-style games are featured in April’s issue of Nintendo Power magazine, and all of them are due for release this year. The first is a Konami (publisher of Elebits) release with the working title “Dewy’s Adventure,” a game that “stars a small droplet of water tasked w...
Sega announces four more Virtual Console titles

Sega shifts portable development to DS
From Chris Kohler at Game|Life: In an interview with Nikkei Shimbun, Sega managing director Hideki Okamura says the company is shifting its focus from PSP to Nintendo DS, pointing out that there is a title they will release this year that will “surprise absolutely everyone.” And remember that point I made about competing with Nintendo on first party titles and seeing it as a challenge ...
Sonic’s future is on rails
A quick confession: I don’t think I’ve played a Sonic title since the days of Game Gear. Well, strike that, I asked for Sonic Rush for Christmas in 2005, played it once and never progressed past the first stage. Some may think that’s a act of gross negligence (Sonic is a gaming icon, right?), but I see it as a silver lining of sorts — by not playing Sonic for so long, I mis...
