While we still await the November 14th release of Trauma Center: Second Opinion on Wii, Japan got bored with it ages ago, and is now eyeing up the newly-revealed sequel, Trauma Center: New Blood. New Blood's biggest new feature is a brand-new two-player mode that will allow you and a pal to operate on a single patient on the screen at the same time, reveals Famitsu. According to them, the new game will also pack a new online rankings feature, so you can compare your ninja operating skills to ...

Reggie Fils-Aime, Nintendo of America president, is a man on a mission. His mission is to sell the red-hot Nintendo Wii and make sure people who have them love them.

"Are we feeling good about our success? Do we think we can have more success in the future? Absolutely," he said during a stuffed 40-minute interview with MTV News in a hotel just south of Central Park. "I do think that highlights a difference between us and our competitors: We're not arrogant. We don't view success as a right. We feel we need to earn success every day. And we're going to do that by being true to the gamer."

In the same hotel 51 weeks ago, Fils-Aime gave MTV News an early handle on the Nintendo Wii controller (see "First Look: Nintendo Revolution Controller Feels Smooth As Puppet Strings"). Now he's ready to talk about any Wii topic under the sun - to a point.

"We're looking at this as about eight days into the mission," he said, opening with a report of the company's recent success. Nintendo has sold 600,000 Wiis in North America and nearly half as many extra Wii controllers, Fils-Aime said (see "Wii Unmasked: Nintendo Reveals Price, Launch Date, Lineup Of Games"). The company has also sold more than 450,000 copies of "The Legend of Zelda: The Twilight Princess." He said "Red Steel," "Rayman Raving Rabbids" and "Madden" all have sold well, as has the surgery game "Trauma Center: Second Opinion."

He offered a preview of the Wii's winter lineup. In addition to support from third-party game developers, Nintendo will publish three more titles for the Wii by the end of March: "WarioWare: Smooth Moves," "Wii Play" and "Mario Party 8." The first two will be released in January, the latter in March. All are compilations of shorter games...

It's a matter of life or death - at least, in the game. Trauma Center: Under the Knife was one of the biggest cult hits of 2005. The Nintendo DS-based surgery game mixes melodrama and tense twitch-gaming. It also is one of the best arguments for Nintendo's then-unproven touch screen system. The DS game puts you into the role of a young surgeon, Dr. Derek Stiles. After a botched operation or two, he begins to question his skills. Soon, though, he uncovers both a mysterious parasitic illness and ...

Sources at Nintendo have let slip details on a Revolution version of Trauma Center, the incoming DS cartoon surgeon sim that uses the handheld's stylus for some nifty operating room action. The game is set to be revealed officially at this year's E3 game show in May, and would be a brilliant way of introducing prospective punters to Revolution's innovative controllers should it arrive as a launch game for the decidedly different next-gen console. "Nintendo doesn't comment on rumour or ...
