Nintendo To Publish New Bungie Title For Wii That Will Revolutionize!
I can't tell you how or where I got this news from. Actually I can, I got the news straight from someone in Bungie and I've had it confirmed by Nintendo.
The next title from Bungie is going to be on the 360, that's the announcement they're going with in a few days time after they've made sure that the latest Halo 3 update is sorted.
Next year they're going to announce their new strategy now that they've got the grips with the development kits for the Wii and have decided on exciting ways to use MotionPlus. They're bringing a new franchise to our favourite console. They also have plans to agree a new partnership with Nintendo to incorporate a version of TruSkill into a new version of the WiFi connection that would support party systems and other features.
The new title will be the first in a planned epic, possibly a trilogy with film rights already agreed with Universal. They're considering making the film the second part of the epic, with the first title providing a cliffhanger leading into the movie. A third title would then pick up some time after the film. It is also possible that the game will see a release on other consoles in time, but only if sales are lackluster.
Bungie hope to refresh the Wii and bring something that gamers have been missing out on. I'll add more information as I get it.

Wii News || OFFICIAL: USA $250 Launch 19th November
That's two whole weeks before Japan! And £133! I reckon NOE will charge us £149.99 quite happily!

DS News || Final Fantasy XII Revenant Wings Announced
Square has announced what appears to be a spinoff to the PlayStation 2 "hit". I say "hit" because it's recieved a set of mixed reviews. However it's more support from Square so who can complain? " Revenant Wings follows the story of Vaan. While details on the game are still scare, the latest issue of Japan's Shonen Jump magazine has offered up some interesting tidbits. Along with Vann, it appears that FFXII's Panello will also play a role in the game. Square Enix will reveal further information at the Tokyo Game Show."

Wii News || 275 Quid Cheaper Than The PS3!
 MCV have run an article claiming that they know what Nintendo are ready to announce next week, they reckon they know the date and the price of the Wii: "Theres still a week to go until Nintendo officially announces the details of the Wii launch but MCV can reveal that the new console will hit retail by November 24th, it will be priced at £149 and stock will be plentiful."MCV are an industry mag. I used to read it on my lunchbreak when I worked at Electronics Boutique back in the day, and I've never known them to make up a story. Everything fits into place and makes sense. A pricepoint similar to that of the GameCube when it launched, and a date that is often mentioned and close to Christmas. The head honcho from Nintendo UK has stated that "they're [MCV] not far off, but they're definitely not right".

Wii News || First DS To Wii Link Up Title Revealed
 We've only heard before of the DS using the Wii as a sort of hub, being able to download demos from the console as you would from the participating shop kiosks. However as I've been reading this issue of NGamer, I've discovered that EA have confirmed that Spore will be linking both our fave consoles together: "EA have confirmed that link-up play with the DS is on the cards, so you can deform your species on the fly."Link up play could mean many things, I'm hoping for a feature that allows you to continue your game on the run as well as multiplayer possibilities. I don't really want to be able to unlock secrets again like we could with the GBA-GC connectivity. Who knows, if these features are considered then you may not even need a copy of the game on the DS? If a company like EA is developing titles like this, who knows what Nintendo have up their sleeves?

I have some ideas for Castlevania for Wii"It's all good! They seem to be happily developing these fantastic Castlevania titles for the DS and where else could they bring the series but the Wii?

Wii News || Exciting New Hardware Tidbits!
 I've just been reading through some news in NGamer and they've got some cool information about the Wii-mote: - The on-board memory which has been talked about before will be used to store character profiles, preferences as well as your personal scores and saves! - The controller will not be getting a rechargable li-ion type of pack, simply 2 AA batteries. The sensor bar: - 50% smaller than originally shown, described as being the size of a couple of pencils. I like the idea that I'll be able to take my own Wii-mote round my mates and not have to set up all of my control information every time! The size of the sensor bar never really interested me, so long as it doesn't get in the way of the telly I don't mind! The launch day can't come quickly enough!

Nintendo Reaffirm Q4 Launch In Light Of Sony Delay

Any Games Left On The Gamecube?
Not much! Matt from IGN let slip that Super Paper Mario is making the move to the Wii: "Hmm. How should I write this? Have to be vague, you know? Let me just say that yes, Paper Mario will be headed to Wii and not GameCube. Now read between the lines, damn you! Wait. That was a terrible hint! All right, that's it for today. Time to beat Bozon" This doesn't shock or upset me at all. I've been really excited about the game and its style, if Nintendo believe that the Wii control scheme can benefit the title then so be it! For more information on Super Paper Mario check here at IGN's site. It looks so good!

Wii News || New Far Cry Information Reveals Control Scheme And More
 Some new information has surfaced about the Wii version of Far Cry during the VGM Podcast where they spoke to a member of the development team at Ubisoft. Some very interesting information was given, such as the plan to include full online multiplayer and downloadable content. The control scheme involves interesting movement ideas like jumping with nunchuck simply by lifting it up, slashing the Wiimote to make a "feral attack" and pushing the nunchuck to hit enemies in the back! You will also be able to move Wiimote forward to zoom and slash across screen for a knife attack. They didn't talk about how to use the guns though, but it's probably safe to assume it will follow the same mechanics as Metroid. The employee also revealed that the title of the game will be Far Cry: Vengeance and will be a brand new title with 20+ hours of Single Player.

European Nintendo Fanboys Rejoice! PS3 Now Due 2007!
Yes it's good news for all Nintendo Fanboys (like us) who are almost safe in the knowledge that they will be playing with their Wii (something about that still doesn't sound right) this year, a good four months (at least) ahead of the Sony clan's new console. Sony have announced that the PlayStation 3 will not be coming out in Europe until March 2007, it will however be released in the US and Japan this year as previously announced. This will also give Microsoft another Christmas period ahead of the PlayStation, and with the many lovely titles coming out for the Wii it doesn't seem like it will be missed. Here's the press release: Sony Computer Entertainment Europe Announces New March 2007 date for European Launch of PLAYSTATION 3
No change in launch date for Japan and North America
London, Wednesday 6 September 2006 - Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) today announced that it would revise the launch date of its PLAYSTATION® 3 computer entertainment system in the PAL territories of Europe, Russia, Middle East, Africa and Australasia from 17th November 2006, as previously announced to March 2007.
Launch dates for Japan and North America will remain the same, which are November 11th and November 17th respectively.
The revision of the launch date in the SCEE territories is caused by the delay in the mass production schedule of the blue laser diode within the Sony Group, thus affecting the timely procurement of key components to be utilised in PLAYSTATION 3.
The previously announced PLAYSTATION 3 shipment forecast of 6 million units globally within the fiscal year ending 2007 is not changed.DOH
