FACT: Fortune Street was originaly Itadaki Street DS, released last decade. At last! I've been waiting for this particular game!
You sir get a karma cookie for knowing that. Glad I wasn't the only one. Karma cookie also to Ellie for the impressions post.
Before I get into the good stuff here are some random little facts:
Retro Studios (of Metroid Prime Trilogy and Donkey Kong Country Returns fame) is working alongside Nintendo in the development of Mario Kart 3D. There is supposedly a track based on DKCR in the game. Could this mean a Metroid track as well?
The Wii U was in development for 3 years before making its E3 debut.
Luigi's Mansion 2 is coming out in 2012 and NOT 2011. My bad
Gamecube controllers WILL NOT work on the Wii U which is a bummer cause Smash Bros. was practically made for that controller. Hopefully they solve this minor problem by the time Smash 4 is released. I'd hate to have to use the Classic Controller for it.
Speaking of Smash 4, its in VERY EARLY development and wasn't even suppose to be announced. Work won't start until Kid Icarus Uprising is finished.
Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has shed some light on the pricing of the Wii U stating that its likely the system could end up being priced over ¥20,000 which equals to about $250.
IBM is once again powering Nintendo's next console.
Wii U discs hold 25GB of data which is a hell of a lot more than what an old Wii disc could hold. Old Wii discs could only hold 4GB for single layered and 8GB for double layered discs.
Apparently the Wii U controller will not be sold alone. It will be only packaged with the console. Multiplayer games being created for the system are only being designed to accommodate one Wii U controller. Other players will have to use Wii remotes. We'll see what happens in the end though since this is still a year away.
Pikmin 3 started life as a Wii game but now has been moved to the Wii U.
Now on to the good stuff!
