Recently we all saw Retro studios redesign their website with a new look, only weeks before E3.
Michael Bay, famous director of Pearl Harbor, The Rock, Armageddon, Transformers, and The Island, has a gift for delivering fast paced action and special effects to the big screen is to be rumored to be talking with Nintendo about directing or producing a film based off of Nintendo's Metroid series.
Nintendo has come out to quash the rumor that a Metroid Prime Trilogy will be coming to the Wii. The rumor stems from a post on GoNintendo, where a tipster claimed that the computers of a known retailer had the game listed under the Wii section. Rumor mill for now, but it could be true.
In this entry:
TVGB: "I don't know if it's because Nintendo is a Japanese company, but they often bless Japan with games and services well before the rest of the world. One of these features is the Everybody's Nintendo Channel on Wii, which has been live in Japan since November 27 of last year. While Nintendo has announced plans to bring this channel to North America and Europe, they have yet to announce a specific date."

First Day Sales : The numbers in () shows the shipments info.
A rough estimate of the first day sales of Metroid Prime 3: Corruption are in from Japan. As many had anticipated, sales were minuscule compared to Wii Fit. Metroid only sold about 20,000 units on its first day. How long Corruption can go in Japan is questionable, as the previous two installments in the series did not sell well in the Land of the Rising Sun.
Core Gaming Group, Nintendo's representative company in South Africa, launched two popular Wii titles at a press event held this past Friday in Johannesburg. In addition, after roughly a year of the world's best selling handheld console being absent from the South African market, Core Group relaunched the Nintendo DS Lite.
You heard it right. Surfer Girl (yes, another surfer girl rumor) has posted something no one really saw coming. Rather then another Metroid game, Retro Studio's next title might be a Zelda spin-off, that may be announced at E3.
Wii
This one goes out to readers in Japan. Well, readers in Japan with Nintendo Wiis. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption is *finally* getting a long overdue release date for The Land of the Rising Sun. The game will drop March 6 for ¥6,800 (US $64). The game was first released in North America last August, then in Europe in late October and finally in Australia in early November. Sure the series is more popular in those territories, but PAL countries getting games before Japan? Hello backwards day!
Dec. 26, 2007 - John Gaudiosi is a national journalist who has been covering the video game business for more than a decade. In addition to blogging for WRAL.com, he also writes about gaming for Wired Magazine, The Washington Post, Xbox.com and Yahoo! Games. Here are his picks for the best games of 2007:
It's been an amazing year for Nintendo. Forget that the Nintendo DS is the number-one selling videogame system, and concentrate on the fact that the Nintendo Wii is still really hard to find in stores despite a healthy number of units being manufactured on a monthly basis. In short, it appears as though the world has gone Wii-mad. And it's far from a case of just the core gamer getting involved here. Nintendo's "risky" attempt to net non- and casual gamers into its Remote-swinging grasp has been a massive success.
