The above scan from the latest Shonen Jump confirms the previous rumour that FFIV was in for the same 3D treatment on the DS that FFIII received. As you can see, the game’s not looking bad at all. In addition to updated graphics, the game will also feature some indeterminate extras.

A new game currently called Project Witches is coming to all next-gen systems, including the Wii! Will it look as good as the pictures here on the Wii — nope. Could it still become one of the best-looking games on the console to date, heck yes. Anyway, the main plot of the game that’s known so far is:
“Project WITCHES is a 3rd person tactical combat game designed to exploit the capabilities of new generation consoles. Players find themselves in terrifying dark medieval surroundings in an epic struggle for survival against the repellent deformed Hordes of the Beast, an evil creature that has established a reign of slavery and terror throughout the land. “
The game contains lots of ladies… some of the more naked persuasion. So, you can check out a video of some of the character models for the game (and a more cartoony game as well from the same developers) here.
Guess what? Jack Thompson is mad about something. No! Really! While I know that this is unusual, the basic story goes that Jack Thompson is upset about the upcoming Wendy’s Wii toys. I’ll give you a minute to calm down. … Okay, so anyway, here’s the direct quote from an email that he sent to Wendy’s CEO Kerri Anderson:
“A dear friend of mine worked for Wendy?s and with Dave Thomas closely for years. From that I know that Dave Thomas never would have tolerated the use of Wendy?s good name to promote Nintendo?s Wii, not with this game available on the Wii platform.”
The game he’s refering to is Manhunt 2. A fairly decently graphic game that is being ported to the Wii pretty soon. I wonder why he didn’t complain about the Xbox 360 toys that came free in cereal a while back because GTA IV is coming to the 360…

The Impossible Mission game, which shall be available for download on the VC, as well as in the format of a DS card, will feature three modes:
New Mode-
New graphics, new level randomizing algorithm, new sound clips. Essentially almost a sequel to the C64 version instead of a remake.
Classic Mode-
The original game in all of its -8 bit glory. Yes, -8 bit. For the hardcore C64 fans that fell in love with the original, you can play it in its entirety. It’s only 64k, so why not throw it in?
Merged Mode-
The original game with updated graphics. Good for people who want to play the original, but don’t want their eyes to bleed. This version will feature the nice graphics of the New Mode with, get this, more than twelve colours (this feat was essentially impossible on the C64)
It turns out that the rumours regarding Nintendo of America’s imminent move were only partially true. It’s still up in the air as to where they’re moving, but only ~80 employees are moving. These 80 employees comprise Nintendo’s sales, marketing, and advertising teams. So, NOA is essentially “splitting” instead of moving. Most of NOA is staying right where it is.
