Nintendo Download: Fur, Fins and Fiery Tails Bring Ferocious Fun to Nintendo Fans
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 0 comments
From tidying up the galaxy to trying out life as a meerkat, this week’s new game downloads from Nintendo offer a wealth of wonderfully unusual activities. For the Nintendo DSiWare™ service, Flametail™ invites players to incinerate all manner of space garbage, while Don’t Cross The Line puts timeless puzzle-solving thrills in the palms of their hands. Also, Nintendo DSiWare users have just a few more days to download the hilarious hand-held battle game Photo Dojo™ for zero Nintendo DSi Points™. (Starting June 11, the game will require 200 Nintendo DSi Points for download.) Meanwhile, fresh additions to the WiiWare™ service include the new fishing-simulation sequel Reel Fishing® Challenge II and the furry fun of Lead the Meerkats™.
A new week also brings a new addition to the “Big Name Games” section of the WarioWare™: D.I.Y. series, which features downloadable microgames from some of the industry’s most talented figures. Nintendo Power™ magazine staffer Chris Hoffman is the creator of this week’s featured game, Power Surge, which asks players to locate and match various Nintendo Power staffers. New “Big Name Games” will be added every Monday through July 26, all available to download for zero Nintendo DSi Points to anyone with broadband Internet access and a copy of either WarioWare: D.I.Y. for the Nintendo DS™ family of systems or WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase software for the WiiWare service. Visit the Nintendo Channel on your Wii system today to learn more about these games.

Pachter explains why he’s predicted Wii HD, believes Wii will lose market share to PS3/Move bundle
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 12 Comments
For what has seemed like years now, Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter has predicted that Nintendo will eventually announce a Wii HD. Nintendo has dismissed the idea on numerous occasions and has stated that a new system announcement would require more than just HD support. So, why does Pachter continue to believe that the Wii HD is on the way? He explained on the latest episode of Pach-Attack:
“…So I always thought Nintendo would respond to Natal and PS3 plus Move by having Wii HD ready when those two things launched. I’ve been wrong consistently and the reason I’ve been wrong is Nintendo doesn’t see the world the way I do. So the answer to your question why do I think it? Because it’s logical. The answer to your question, why hasn’t Nintendo done it? Because they don’t think it’s logical. And I don’t want to get in their heads, they are great business people, they run their company well, my view is this is something they should do.”
Pachter also noted that he thinks the Wii will lose some of its market share to the PS3/Move when a reasonably-priced bundle is announced. According to Pachter, Sony will be able to tell Wii owners that they can upgrade to an HD console that is being completely supported by publishers and contains additional features such as Blu-ray.
