Nintendo Working on New console?!!

That's right! During a Forbes article about future game development, Iwata mentioned they were already in the very early stages of development!

"We are always preparing for the next hardware," Iwata said. "We are under development. ... But the hardware is a kind of box that consumers reluctantly buy in order to play our games." Well, we wouldn't say reluctantly, because most people seem to be more than happy to pick up a Wii.

In terms of future specs, Iwata commented that every new piece of hardware "needs some revolutionary features." He also added that "This time around, it happened to be we had a revolutionary user interface. Will it be the same for the next generation? I really can't tell." Considering what the company did with the Wii, we're totally expecting bigger and better things from Nintendo.

Wow, Nintendo, way to drop a bombshell! But seriously, do we really need a new console right now? No we don't. So I think it is kind of strange of Iwata to say something like that even though the Wii hasn't even been out for more than two years!

Wario Land: Shake It preview

So 'Wario land: Shake It' is coming in a few months (Europe release: September 26th. American Release September 29th.) but how is it? Well one way to find out is to watch the video above; and the other way is to see what I have to say about Wario Land and from what it's nature is usually like.

Now from what I've played of the Wario Land series, I think Wario Land games could easily be the new Super Mario World games. In Wario Land games, it's not always about sprinting through th level crushing any enemies in your way, most of the time you'll be forced to slow down and take your time to work out some very dastardly puzzles.

One thing that was also present in the Wario series was the different forms Wario could take to get through some of the puzzles. For example there might be an enemy that throws apples at you. Eat enough the apples and you can get fat enough to destroy hard blocks!

It seemed to always feel good when playing as Wario. Especially when you could run very fast and just kept running in a blur destroying lots of enemies in your path. And you'll be able to do that in Wario Land Shake it as the tour above shows.

Wario Land Shake It also features lot's of collectibles which the Wario games are known for. In Wario Land Shake It you must find three treasure chests which contain three strange items.

This has to be the best looking Wario land Game ever. It looks so rich and colorful, and it even has animated cutscenes. And speaking of animations, Wario's animations look both funny and cool!
And to top it all off, there's shaking!

I can't wait for this game, and you should feel the same about it!

Nintendo working on a new Mario game?

That's what it seems like after an interview with the telegraph:

"Making these 'traditional' games is what I am best at. Because games of that nature take upwards of two or three years to make, we always have to keep the teams working on those projects going.

"At any given time, the team could be five to ten people, or it could be 50-plus. People are always switching in and out of those teams.

"They are all working on more Mario, Zelda and Pikmin projects. And they all work in close proximity to me, so I can keep a good eye on them."

It had already been established that Nintendo were working on a new Zelda and Pikmin (see E3 coverage), but he mention Mario projects. 'Projects' are obviously new games, but what type of game?

SUPER HAPPY FUN SPECULATION TIME!

Well a Mario adventure game has already been released on the Wii; And so has a Paper Mario game. Don't forget Mario party 8. But their haven't been any Mario Sports titles on Wii (Mario and sonic doesn't count). Maybe Nintendo are planning Mario tennis, or Mario golf. It would be too soon for a new adventure game in my opinion. Unless they're planning on unleashing a new Mario genre! I hope they don't release another Mario party for Wii (Stop partying for crying out loud!).
BUT! Maybe it's not on Wii. We haven't taken DS into account. It doesn't seem very likely, but their could be a new Mario adventure coming to DS. I personally think New Super Mario Bros wasn't enough. But the way he mention Mario Zelda and Pikmin makes you think he's talking about Wii.

Wow, so much speculation. Well that's 'cause Mario's awesome, OK!

Prince Of Persia: the Fallen King trailer

Yes the new Prince Of Persia game has been revealed in a new trailer! The game seems to look a lot like Phantom Hourglass in terms of stylus control, yet its visual style seems like that of Brawl's (how it's kind of 2d yet 3d).

If you watched the video you would probably have noticed the Wonderful Nintendo ad at the end. That because this youtube profile will serve as the place where all the game videos for this site will be. If you go to the direct video page you'll be able to watch in High Definition!

GTA: Chinatown wars boxart Revealed

Doesn't look great... Well to be honest, it's very bland. But it might not be the finalized product. No other pictures of the game have been released. I think Rockstar are purposely trying o hype this game up enough to make everyone buy it when it comes out. Which makes you wonder; Is this game really going to be as good as the other GTA's? Or is it just going to be another GTA 1 rip-off like on GBA?

E3 comes to an end.

So E3's over. Most people were actually cringing at the thought of Nintendo's conference. I personally thought it was okay, but of course the main highlight for me is Animal Crossing City Folk (American Release date November 16).

Did you happen to miss it? Well take a peak at the videos of the whole thing! Above is part
