That's right, people... Japan is getting YET ANOTHER Professor Layton game, and it won't be too long until they can get it, too. At a launch event for Professor Layton and the Devil's Flute (the first game in the second Layton trilogy) Level-5 announced the next game to be released next year.
While us non-Japanese are still eagerly awaiting to have the first, complete trilogy in our handhelds (at least have the third game announced!), Japanese gamers are getting more love from Level-5 by getting the second game in the second Professor Layton trilogy by next year. Akihiro Hino, Level-5 president, announced during a launch event for Devil's Flute that the next game, to be titled 'Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask', will be released in Japan by fall 2010.
The game is supposed to have Layton and Luke investigating said artifact through Casino City which, in turn, seems to have been created by the very same item they seek. If early reports from a leaked
Famitsu report are true, this game could also bring a shift in regular Layton gameplay.
Also, Hino said, the game could come accompanied by a second Professor Layton movie (which, still, has not come outside Japan, by the way) depending on how well the first movie does at the box office.

New details on the Next Zelda for the Wii have surfaced (don't get overly excited, it's not really that detailed) thanks to an interview
by IGN to series producer, Eiji Aonuma.
First of all, the already-known (but now sort of confirmed) focus on MotionPlus for swordplay and archery within the game.
We're taking advantage of MotionPlus. It's become very natural – the movement of your arms is precisely reflected in the gameplay. Thanks to the technological advancements, we hope the gameplay can be more accessible to people.
As for the gameflow, it will change (and he confirms that the game will not be ready before the next E3).
We're making efforts regarding the total flow of the Zelda game. So far, the basic flow of the Zelda games is you're exploring a field, you go to a dungeon, you conquer it and return to the field. We're looking at altering that traditional flow. That's all I can share, and I can't say more until E3 next year.

The game was highly expected ever since it was announced,
analysts predict it will be a smash hit (which is not such a strange thing to believe in the first place), it is featured on our own
N+ design, and pretty much everyone who owns a Wii should get this game according to multiple reviews (and if you don't own a Wii, it is a pretty good reason to go out and get one) even if it does lack online multiplayer. As of yesterday, New Super Mario Bros. Wii is officially out in the US and most of America (yeah, America is a continent, NOT a single country ¬.¬).
How many of you already got a copy? How many are eagerly awaiting to get one? I, for one, can't wait to get it. All the friends I know who own a Wii want it badly. But will it really be the hit analysts predict? I think so.

It's official. Konami has announced that, despite rumors that the game would be pushed for a 2010 release, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories will hit the American market on December 8th, 2009... for the Wii, at least.
The date announcement came only for Nintendo's console, and the dates for the PSP and PS2 versions was still left on hold (which makes us think that the 2010 release rumor is actually for these two versions), so unless they come up with a surprise announcement in the following days, Wii players will enjoy a few weeks of exclusivity.

Remember the
'gag clause' they put into Miyamoto's contract? Well, Nintendo should review that. Shiggy has done it again and went on to 'spill the beans' on an interview granted to
GameLife, stating that the next Legend of Zelda game for the Wii will in fact make use of Motion Plus for a more realistic experience.
n this (installment of the series), we're using MotionPlus to make you feel much more like you're actually fighting while holding a sword in your hand. In the previous game, you aimed at things by pointing at the screen, but this time we'll use MotionPlus to create a much more convenient targeting system and a more pleasurable playing experience.
Now, I get how Motion Plus could help swordplay, and call me paranoid if you like, but how would you improve AIMING by removing pointing at the screen and using the add-on instead?
Nintendo, however, has yet to make an official announcement on this, so things are a little unclear as to whether the game will only use Motion Plus as a complement or if it will be mandatory to be able to play it, so stay tuned...maybe the announcement will come at next year's E3 (boom, baby!
).

I'm not going to comment much on this, because the artwork is something that you HAVE to see for yourself.
GameInformer has just released a plethora of new images and video related to the upcoming Wii-exclusive title, Epic Mickey. Go

Twitter can be an absolutely amazing service. That said, it's not always the most reliable source of news. That's why this story is marked as a rumor; one I'm reluctant to post.
If
this Twitter account, supposedly that of voice actor Charles Martinet, is real, then we have quite an interesting story on our hands. Martinet, who voices several characters for Nintendo, including Mario, Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi, dropped some major Mario-related news over the past week:
Mama Mia!!!! I'm going to Seattle this week to record a new Mario game! Woo Hooo!!!!! I can hardly wait!!!!1
Big day tomorrow! Seattle for a new Mario game! Yippee!!! And just as a joke, it's going to rain....in San Francisco tomorrow!
Awesome new Mario Game! And it's not NSMB Wii, and it's not Galaxy 2, but it's going to be crazy fun!
Even if the Twitter account is real, I wouldn't get my hopes up just yet. Martinet could always be teasing

Cross everything out. GameInformer has confirmed that the game IS a Wii-exclusive title, and it was hoping to keep the exclusive news to itself... Well, the Internet has done it again.
Epic blunder it is... According to 1UP, the 'fact' that Epic Mickey was a Wii-exclusive title, might have been a drawn-too-soon conclusion. They say that, although early leaks from the publications stated that the game was a Wii exclusivity, all references to such fact have been removed from the actual number, suggesting that the game is now looking to launch in different consoles.
The war is on.
