Can this also be used for rumors? I'm pretty gay for rumors.
There may not be a Resident Evil for the Wii. And if there is one, it may not be RE5.
http://www.pro-g.co.uk/news/23-08-2006-3466.html
Quote: Takeuchi also went all uncomfortable and apologetic when we asked him about Resident Evil Wii, saying he didn't know if there would be one. Although when we put our puppy-dog eyes on, he did at least concede that there might be a teensy chance of seeing such a game. We're taking that as a promise, and if we don't see a Resi Wii eventually we're going to call him up and cry down the phone.
Update: There is a possibility that there was some ambiguity in the translation, which could have meant that Takeuchi-san thought we were referring to Resident Evil 5 on Wii, and not a separate Wii entry in the series. Either way, he was still being rather secretive about the series' debut on Nintendo's new system.

Honestly, I wish a few more things would slip 'till next year. I don't have the cash for all these games and console coming out.

Thanks to my getting good results, at this point I have exactly the amount I need for a Wii. I just need more to get games with it.
DS games may have to wait until xmas unless I get a job.

Seriously...how do they expect me to play anything for at least 2 months after the WoW Expansion comes out?

That was posted on the 22nd. The conference was yesterday and they didn't announce it. IGN seemed to know more newer games than they actually did announce, though...so it may get brought up again in the near future.

That's some good news -- that's one of the many wii games I've been anticipating heavily.

Tecmo has boarded the good ship Virtual Console.

Also, I found Mr. Hirai's comments here to be particularly amusing: http://uk.gamespot.com/news/6156694.htm ... bj=6156694

There's more being revealed about the Wii Parties that are happening in September. They are said to be held a few weeks before the Wii launch, which seems to fit my prediction perfectly.

Quote: Hirai: We don't really look at what our competition did or didn't do.
Why would anyone not note where others failed and try to be proficient in that area? Anyway, leaked memo about PS3 launch: http://biz.gamedaily.com/industry/feature/?id=13640.
And this because I like the article: http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/14.09/sony.html.

That is nice.
Apparantly nintendo was trying to do something similar with zelda, as some articles recently posted claim. And according to someone I know who said he got to play it at some infogrames related facility in new york. The word is, it macthes movements very nicely.

I don't know about that. Whatever the big news is will hit the intertron as soon as the issue's out and thus the whole world will be getting the news about the same time as you do. But hey, I'm sure there are other advantages.

Now here's something interesting: http://ds.qj.net/Nintendo-MP3-Player-De ... /aid/64281
Play-Yan without the video, launching in Europe alongside the DS Browser on October 6th.
Also, the US Fall release list for DS kicks ass. http://uk.ds.ign.com/articles/730/730196p1.html
