Metroid Prime 39,829 12,058 6,110 57,997

Although it’s probable that Metroid Prime 3 will not catch up to Hunters, it’s great to see the game doing somewhat well. Prime 3 was a near perfect conclusion to the trilogy, and it was worthy of the accolades it received.

Summary from IGN

Nintendo Media Summit begins. Cammie takes stage. Talks about her new role at Nintendo. Mentions Wii Fit. “Wii Fit can show people who have never had an interest in gaming that this is something that is a heck of a lot of fun to be involved with.” Dunaway also says, “Wii Fit is very much an answer to core gamers.”

Dunaway refers to Mario Kart as a “bridge” title that will appeal to both casual and hardcore players.

Confirms that NOA will spend some time over the next two days talking about WiiWare. (IGN knows of several WiiWare games expected to be demoed throughout Friday, including LostWinds.)

“Want to make sure that [Wii] is an opportunity for game developers to try something different.” References Boom Blox, de Blob and Guitar Hero DS.

One more piece of news: Mario Super Sluggers. Coming to America. “We think that this is going to take these three wonderful areas of Mario, baseball and the unique capabilities of the Wii remote and bring them together in an exciting experience.”

Mario Kart Wii 6
The World Ends With You 8
FFCC: Ring of Fates 6
Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer 6
Destroy all Humans: Big Willy Unleashed 4
Insecticide 3
Eco Creatures: Save the Forest 4
Nanostray 2 7
Dementium: the Ward 5

I’m very surprised at some of those review scores. Although Insecticide wasn’t perfect, I don’t think it truly deserves a 3. The obvious shocker is Mario Kart. Nintendo Power and Famitsu have received it warmly, but I suppose we all should wait for more reviews to pop up before deciding how critical the Mario Kart Wii review is.

The DS has been the home of two Castlevania games over the past few years. Both games that have been released on the Nintendo DS were received very well by both critics and gamers alike. One would expect to see more Castlevania on the handheld in the future, and perhaps we’re one step closer to experiencing yet another title. A logo and subtitle have been discovered for a new Castlevania game – Order of Ecclesia. It may be only a matter of time before more whip-slaying action can be found on the DS.

It’s very surprising to see the PSP selling so well, but the DS and Wii manage to hold their own.
