Software pirates may be screwing up release dates for Australia

“Nintendo Australia is always pushing for games to be released here at the same time as the rest of the world, so we were pleased to get New Super Mario Bros. Wii before anyone else. Unfortunately, due to to the actions of this individual, future release dates may be affected for Australia, which is disappointing for us.” - Nintendo of Australia spokesperson

Ouch…that really hurts the Aussie gamers out there. Normally you would chalk a statement like this up to a bluff, but with Nintendo you know that it could be the real deal. This is a real shame…just when Australia was getting things ironed out with their releases. Thanks to Vooks for the heads up!

Weirdness of the Day - Sakaguchi wants The Last Story to bloom like a flower

Apparently Hironobu Sakaguchi is a big fan of flowers, Camellias especially. Sakaguchi is so fond of them that he planted some Camellias for himself, and one flower that wasn’t positioned very well actually blossomed. What does this have to do with The Lsat Story?

“I don’t really do fortune-telling and I am not superstitious, but at this moment I thought ‘I want The Last Story to bloom like this as well.” - Hironobu Sakaguchi

One would hope that the game will do well, as Mr. Sakaguchi seems particularly proud of it.

“It`s almost complete and has my full satisfaction.”

RUMOR - Dead Space: Extraction heading to XBLA/PSN

You guys made it very clear…you wanted nothing to do with Dead Space: Extraction. Okay, not all of you guys directly, but many Wii owners did feel that way. What’s EA to do with a game that doesn’t sell? Move it over to the 360 and PS3, of course!

Rumor has it that Dead Space: Extraction is going to reborn again as an XBLA/PSN title that offers up all the goodies that we got, plus HD visuals. The best part for XBLA/PSN fans and worst part for Wii owners is, the game is rumored to cost just $15.

Victor Ireland accidentally confirms more remakes in the pipeline

Victor Ireland was answering a question about a display issue with Blaster Master: Overdrive when he uttered this statement…

Dunno what the thinking was on that since it came from the Japanese side. Maybe they thought the interlaced gave it a more retro look. I would definitely have preferred progressive scan (and widescreen!). All I can do is collect the feedback and use it to try to get those for the other remakes that come down the line.

‘those other remakes that come down the line’ certainly seems like confirmation to me. Why admit to fixing a problem for future projects that don’t exist?

Sony sees Wii and PS2 as competing platforms
the wii is much closer to ERM ITS THE ONLY NEXT GEN CONSOLE IN EXISTANCE NON MOTION NON 3D MOUSE CONSOLES ARE OLD GEN

MOTION PLAY AND 3D MOUSE POINT IS NEW GEN its ps3 and x360 that are ps2 like gamecube like xbox like

there of the same out dated obsolete console concept

wii is new ALSO ON THE IN THE BOX THINKING WITCH IS GOING ON HERE ITS ONLY ABOUT GRAPHICS SONY HAS LIED AGAIN AS Wii IS CLEARLY CLOSER TO X360 THAN PS2 - HD

ITS ALSO THE FASTEST LOASDING STREAMING AND THE BEST CONTROLS OPTIONS OVER ALL AND BY FAR THE BEST BACK PLAY AND VIRTUAL CONSOLE SERVICE

bashing a dualshock is not next gen wiimotes next gen

waiting for ps3 to load is not next gen

graphally put ps2 at 0 and ps3 at 10 on a 0 to 10 graph i would put wii at least at 6 on that graph

and loading times and controls/gameplay wii BLOWS BOTH PS2 AND PS3 AWAY
