Wii News from N4G | Beautiful Katamari
Wii - Beautiful Katamari - Ace Combat 6 heading to PS3 with Beautiful Katamari, Eternal Sonata? According to an interview at the French website Jeux Video, (see the first alternative source below,) the producer of Ace Combat 6 has revealed the possibility of a PS3 version of the air simulation game.

In addition, earlier the official site for Beautiful Katamari listed PlayStation 3 and Wii versions as "TBD" ("To Be Determined,") The website has since then been updated, and the PS3 and Wii listing removed after being spotted and reported.

In a similar fashion, Eternal Sonata (aka Trusty Bell in Japan) is also listed as "TBD" for PlayStation 3 -- but interestingly, no Wii. The unintentional listing has also been discovered and removed.

Altogether which seem to be an interesting coincidence. 1UP speculates that Beautiful Katamari and Eternal Sonata will be announced at the upcoming Tokyo Game Show (TGS) 2007, (i.e., the second alternative source below.)

Note: Snapshots of the evidences were taken by Kotaku before the websites changes and are attached below.

Wii - Big Beach Sports - Sunday Mercury Review: Big Beach Sports SM Writes: "If you're going to make a game for the Wii then it has to fulfill only a few basic requirements – it needs to be fun and it needs to be playable by all.

And Big Beach Sports ticks all of the boxes by doing exactly what the Wii does best.

Yes, the graphics aren't anything to write home about and the gameplay can make you feel like throwing the controller at the screen at times, but that's all part of the Wii's simplistic charm."

"Every man has a list of health problems they hope don't happen to them during their lifetime. Male-pattern baldness, myopia and impotence come to mind. Well, after seeing Nintendo's new 'Build Your Brain' ad campaign I am officially adding shrunken head syndrome to my list.
