Red Steel stays offline Word out of Nintendo of Europe's site - via an interview with Ubisoft's Stephanie Langlois, which you can't read, since you're not a European, have not purchased a European Nintendo game and thus have not obtained the code you need to do so - is that Red Steel won't have online play... at least, not at launch.

Red Steel sword control re-cut

Wii News | Red Steel

Yakuza-style Wii launch title Red Steel had a rough ride at its E3 showing, but in interviews at last week's Leipzig Game Convention, developer Ubisoft promised that it has taken the criticisms seriously - and is busily improving the title for release.

New visions of Twilight Princess

Wii News | The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

There's so much riding on Link this time - quite literally, on occasions when he transforms into a wolf - that new screens can only make us want it more. And it's fair to say that the shots Nintendo has released (available by clicking the Images tab) make us want it very much indeed. There are familiar elements: fishing, sprawling fields to cross on horseback.
