Mega Man 9 to Feature DLC, Cost $10

, , , ...


You've seen the announcement and scans and you've seen the first footage - what's next? How about some pricing and release date information?

... for Japan, at least. Back in SNES days, people would have been happy to pay at least $50 dollars for a new installment in the series. According to Famitsu, however, will sell on WiiWare for 1000 Wii Points, or $10 USD. Famitsu also mentions the game will see a September release in Japan, and we can only assume it's likely to release in America around that time as well.

Famitsu and Nintendo Power have now both suggested Mega Man 9 will feature downloadable content. Any ideas on what it will be? Let us know in the comments.

We have also received several new screenshots, which you can see after the break.

Dated Fatality

, , , ...


Not too much has been said about Wii exclusive Fatal Frame IV since we found out Nintendo may actually own all the rights to the series. Now, it seems that we have a Japanese release date, as well as a decent but not awesome magazine scan with a couple new screens, including the "Emblem, or Logo Design" for the game.

Japan Launch: July 31

Japanese Release Dates for Disaster: Day of Crisis and Mario Baseball

, , , ...


We haven't heard anything about Disaster: Day of Crisis since E3 2007, where it was very briefly mentioned in an interview with Beth Llewelyn. The game was first shown at E3 2006, and most thought it had been left for dead. Luckily, Famitsu reminded us of the game, and even confirmed that it is indeed still coming out!

According to the Japanese magazine, the game is coming out on July 3 in Japan. Still no word on an American release date, and I wouldn't be surprised if the Japanese date changes. Famitsu also announced a release date for Super Mario Stadium Family Baseball, which is due out on June 19 in Japan.

Personally, I've very pleased with any news about D:DoC. I've been interested in the game since it was revealed, and can only hope it's as good as it seems...

Mario Kart Wii Dated For The US

, , , ...


So let me get this straight... America gets Brawl before Europe, with no indication when the game will reach us, but Europe get Mario Kart Wii before the US to keep us sweet. OK, fair enough. Then it's announced that Mario Kart Wii will be release in the US on 27th April 2008, so it's pretty much a worldwide launch.

It may sound petty, but that's a pretty good kick in the face for Europe. Anyhoo, I shouldn't really be negative - it should be a top game after all, and the more people online with it, the better!

UPDATE! Full press release after the break.

Bully Propoganda

, , , ...


Rockstar Games have recently sent out the Propoganda Newsletter to let us know that The decently-selling PS2 game "BULLY" is making it's way to both the 360 and the Wii. Graphics will be "up-heaved" for both systems, more so for the 360, and controls will also be re-done... pretty much only for the Wii.

The game is going to pretty much be a port, but they have added extra missions and content into the game. Some of the extra content was drafted specifically for Wii controls, like in Biology class where you disect things...

BULLY: Scholarship Edition is planned for March 4th on both systems in North America
(Rated M for Mature)

Japan: Meet Samus .... In March

, , , ...


I feel bad for the Japanese. No, I really do. Americans got to play the latest Metroid game in August and Europeans got their hands on it in October. Our friends in the Land of the Rising Sun, however, haven't even had a release date, until now that is.

Nintendo of Japan has announced that the final game in the Prime series will be released in Japan on March 6th. What took so long? The fear of poor sales? Can't be worse than Super Mario Galaxy's sales ...

I wonder if they'll get the Preview Channel ... :D

Days of Ruin

, , , ...


Advanced Wars started out on the Gameboy advance, was sort of spun-off as Battalion Wars on Gamecube, made it's way to the DS as a huge hit with Advance Wars: Dual Strike, sort of spun-off again on the Wii as Battalion Wars ii (BWii), and is now comming back to the DS with a much darker tale, and darker artwork and music to match. There is also a new vehicle in the game that looks super neat for a strategy game: The motorcycle with sidecar. I am very pumped about this game, and the release dates sort of snuck up on us into THIS MONTH:

US: January 21, 2008
Europe: January 25, 2008
Australia: January 25, 2008
Japan: NA 2008


To REALLY get yourself excited check out one of the neatest official game websites to grace the net, it rivals the official Animal Crossing: Wild World website... seriously check it out for videos and screenshots of in-game

The Phantom Hourglass Begins To Countdown

, , , ...


Today I went on Play Asia to pre-order my copy of The Legend of Zelda: The Phantom Hourglass because it's been given a release date in the US!

Mark this date in your calendars: 1st October 2007. As an added bonus, "My Nintendo members who register the game and their Nintendo DS hardware at MyNintendo.com and fill out a short survey will receive a special Nintendo DS stylus that looks like an old-fashioned quill pen, modeled after an item in the game". Nice, eh?

No news on an EU date as yet, but that's not too much of a problem with the DS's awesome region free goodness.

Read more for the full press release, and a sneaky piece of info regarding Metroid Prime: Corruption.

Oh and thanks to Lutherjw for pointing this out in our forum (although I posted this before I saw it :smile: )

Nintendo Europe Summer Release Dates

, , , ...

I was just thinking this morning that our countdown list was looking a bit bare. Lo and behold! NOE have issued a list of all the games that are scheduled to be released this summer!

The highlights? For me:

Resident Evil ™: 4 Wii edition (Capcom) 29th June 2007
Mario Party 8 (Nintendo) 13th July 2007
Super Paper Mario (Nintendo) 14th September 2007

Considering the amount of games that are being released, that's a pretty low number :frown: That doesn't include the US DS games that I've imported, however, so if you haven't yet played Pokémon D&P or Elite Beat Agents, make sure you pick them up!

Read more for the complete list, and check the countdowns for more releases coming your way.
