We’re just a little over a week from Nintendo’s E3 2011 press conference. With the event just on the horizon, industry analyst Michael Pachter has brought out his crystal ball to share some predictions for the event. Additionally, he’s offered some thoughts on Project Cafe’s launch.
All of the points below come from the latest episode of Giantbomb’s Bombcast.
– Hardware and a bunch of titles at E3
– Many games since Nintendo hasn’t shown much this year
– Date for Kid Icarus: Uprising
– Last showing for Zelda: Skyward Sword
– Nintendo will probably say that they’ll have a Mario title at launch
– Pachter believes the Vitality Sensor is dead
– Pachter echoes IGN’s report of Foxconn beginning production in October
– He also thinks they could produce one million consoles per month
– Japanese launch for Project Cafe in April
– Also possible that Nintendo could stockpile systems and launch simultaneously in September

Rumor: Sakaguchi also says The Last Story is coming to Europe
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii | 0 comments
Hironobu Sakaguchi was recently in Paris to attend a concert performed by Masashi Hamauzu. While he was there, apparently French website GameBlog was able to discuss The Last Story’s future in Europe. The site reports that Sakaguchi actually confirmed that the title will be released in Europe, but failed to provide further details.
With a Nintendo rep and Sakaguchi saying that The Last Story is heading to Europe, the chances of the game arriving in the continent are quite high. Now all we need is an official announcement from the Big N. Perhaps we’ll hear something at E3 next week…
Nintendo Download: Fast Cars and a Feisty Doctor Deliver Fresh Downloadable Fun
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 0 comments
This week’s new downloadable games for Nintendo systems include two different ways to get behind the wheel – one futuristic, the other retro. In FAST – Racing League for the WiiWare™ service, players can fast-forward 100 years into the future to experience antigravity racing thrills. In Valet Parking 1989™ for the Nintendo DSiWare™ service, they can jump back a couple of decades to strategically handle a host of vintage ’80s automobiles. For those who prefer hospitals instead of hot rods, House M.D. – Globetrotting gives Nintendo DSi™ owners a way to immerse themselves in a rich medical drama. And for timeless console fun, the Super NES™ classic Super Adventure Island is now playable on the Wii™ system via the Virtual Console™ service. Whatever your gaming appetite demands, these great new downloads can help you kick off your summer with a smile.
