SEGA talks Mature Wii game sales, thinks Nintendo could help out with supporting Mature gamesG: With this type of volume for MadWorld, you feel you have reached all the target gamer for the Wii?
JR: With MadWorld, we believe we have struck a good portion of the target. Take into account that this is a good enough "type", and if you take the number of people interested in the action game gore or horror, it is in the absolute a small population, and this, beyond the issue of platform. It is not as unifying a party game or even a FPS, for example. Therefore, we believe we have made "full", even though the margin of increase is still possible.
G: But when the volume of games for the general public are four times higher than those of your tracks gamers, it should still make you think?
Then there is an ability to adapt what has been done among the general public on concepts more "gamer". However, Sega has been a big player on mature products on the Wii, Electronic Arts also Capcom also ...but not Nintendo. And maybe they could have been a good spokesman for this market. Nintendo has supported us on MadWorld for the French market, and in all territories, but perhaps in a "hidden." Nintendo is consumer products, with a PEGI 3 + and 7 +, but they never joined the game world mature. For this, they pass by outside publishers. They are not in front, and to support this type of games. If they threw in the game mature tomorrow, with an advertising campaign on television, maybe they would increase the market. For it is a very big ticket, on which we, the editors are not all willing to invest. Perhaps where Nintendo can make more money.

I also expect to see the market dominated more and more by Nintendo releases with fewer games from the major third parties, like EA, Activision, and Ubisoft. Instead, it's a case of the third-party publishers trying to figure out how they can make a return on their investment and maintain profitability. (said in a joking manner) Maybe the secret is for all of us just to adopt a Sega model -- and just stick Mario into every game we make." - Chris Kramer, Capcom senior director of communications and community

NBA Jam, of course! What a strange listing for EA to have. It's almost like they're making a new version of NBA Jam for the Wii...

The proprietary open-world game engine that the team at Vigil Games has developed for Darksiders demands the most in hi-definition gaming, with very fast frame-rates only achievable on the Microsoft and Sony platforms. (The Wii is still a) very strong gaming platform and THQ has numerous games in our present and upcoming portfolio that take advantage of the unique game play mechanic that the Wii platform offers." - THQ's EVP of Core Games Danny Bilson

Word has it that Konami is putting together a collection of all the 8 and 16-bit Castlevania games onto one disc, and Symphony of the Night might even make the collection as well. Other than that, we have no other information on this rumored collection. Let's cross our fingers and hope for a confirmation soon!

Endless Ocean 2: Adventures of the Deep offers six new ocean locations to explore. Plunge into the icy Arctic waters or explore the sunken wrecks in the Aegean Sea and, for the first time, venture into rivers such as the mysterious Brazilian Amazon to discover a vast array of freshwater wildlife. You can even step ashore onto dry land to encounter birds and other non-aquatic wildlife.
Your diving missions will include helping maintain coral reefs, riding on dolphins and swimming with humpback whales. You will be equipped with new tools to aid in your encounters. The Pulsar gun will be required to repel any unexpected encounters with predators of the deep, but will also allow you to heal any sick creatures you may discover on your quest.
As well as enjoying the mesmeric and relaxing underwater scenery, you can locate precious artefacts using your Treasure Detector, act as a diving escort and take photographs for nature magazines - building your diving skills and opening up new challenges as you go. As you explore, you can complete missions and solve mysteries before moving on to a new area.
The game offers single and multiplayer modes and via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection you can link to another player’s Wii and explore each other’s oceans and rivers. Using Wii Speak, you can share your encounters, marine missions and swim with your fellow explorers.
With its realistic and beautiful graphics, Endless Ocean 2: Adventures of the Deep offers a whole new world of discovery, and launches across Europe for Wii on 5 February 2010.
http://www.nintendo.co.uk/NOE/en_GB/new ... 15487.htmlCould Vanillaware be teasing their next game? Above you see a cropped image from a larger piece of art called “The Three Graces”. This painting was done by Vanillaware founder and president George Kamitani, and it involves the Greek and Roman goddesses of charm and beauty. We can't show you the full painting here, because it's a tad...umm...nude. With that said, this glimpse into the mind of Mr. Kamitani may very well be a hint towards the company's next game. Let's hope we find out sooner rather than later.

“I’m preaching to the choir on this one, but Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop definitely got a bad rap. If you stop counting the number of zombies on the screen and just play, you’ll have some fun. People couldn’t help comparing it to the X360 game, which I can understand, but it did okay at retail, so I’d put this in a grey area.”
Mr, Killian also teased another old-school style game, something that was more in the style of Mega Man 10 or Dark Void Zero...
“... happy to say there’s something else distinctly demake-esque coming soon. Of course, there’s also Mega Man 10, which isn’t so much a demake as a straight up high-five to the joys of classic gaming...”
