The Mitchell Corporation (who made Polarium for the DS and GBA) has announced that they have three games in the works for release in 2007. One for the Wii, and two for the DS. I thought that Polarium was one of the more clever games for the DS, and I liked it quite a bit. I hope that whatever they’re making for the Wii will be at least as good as Polarium was.
EA recently had an interview with IGN in which they announced a new Wii game that is in the works. EA Playground can supposedly be grouped in the same genre as Wii Sports and Wii Play, essentially “a mix of easy to pick up and incredibly fun playground games. There are some classic favorites in there along with some new twists.”
I must say that I’m a bit reserved about this game right now, I think that EA might just be trying to play off of the Wii- games’ success instead of trying to do something truly original and cool. We’ll see how it turns out, though.
Shigeru Miyamoto, my idol as illustrated by my username, is a candidate in TIME magazine’s 100 most influential people of the year. Below you’ll find a link to vote for Shiggy (preferably giving him 100) — he’s sitting at #9 right now, but let’s see if we can’t get him to #1.
GameTrailers has a new video up with some gameplay from the Japanese version of Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles: Rings of Fate for the DS. Check out the video below:

Paper Mario games have done much in the past to revitalize Nintend’s biggest franchise. These games in the past have given us all the chance to see some of our favourite Mario characters in an RPG setting (this was also done by Mario RPG for the SNES, and the Mario & Luigi games for DS and GBA, but who’s counting?). The newest Paper Mario game takes the Mario franchise back to its roots. Good old platforming. While I don’t normally enjoy platformers, I must say that Super Paper Mario has been one of the most refreshing and entertaining games that I’ve played in a long time. Super Paper Mario (SPM) is also one of the best Mario games I have ever played.
I’m going to start off the site with some game reviews for Wii and DS. Then, I’ll get some news up.
