Rumour: Nintendo Media Summit?

Friday, May 18th, 2007

Nintendo 2006 E3 Press Conference
 
There’s a buzz on the internet about Nintendo holding a press event on May 22nd and 23rd.  This is slightly reminiscent of the good old Nintendo Spaceworld conference that Nintendo held back in the day.  Apparently, we can expect some third-party news as well as a slew of information on Smash Bros. Brawl and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption.  Apparently 6 PM PST is the time on the 22nd to be on the look-out for news.  Game Usagi will keep you updated on any more info regarding this supposed conference.

Nintendo = World Domination

Friday, May 18th, 2007

Nintendo World
 
Most people are aware of how Nintendo is dominating the charts in Japan, but what we don’t often see is the sales figures for the rest of the world. Luckily for you, the sales figures from April for USA and Canada have been released as well. (We still don’t have the totals for Europe, but we do have the top games from the UK). Judging from the April sales figures, Nintendo’s back.

First FFCC: The Crystal Bearers Screen

Wednesday, May 16th, 2007

FFCC Character
 
Here’s the first shot of the main character from FFCC: The Crystal Bearers, which is on its way for the Wii. We also have some news regarding this guy. Apparently your character in the game will be uber-powerful from the get-go, with powers of flight and the like. Also, you’ll be able to take control of the massive and beautiful airships that were present in the initial public trailer for the game. That’s all we know for now, but this game is starting to sound and look pretty good…

Bungie/Microsoft Suck & Official Halo 3 Date

Wednesday, May 16th, 2007

Bungie, I Hate You
 
Bungie and Microsoft are having problems getting the Halo 3 Beta up for download for those of us using the Crackdown method. Typical, just typical. I thought that Microsoft/Bungie were going to do something right for once in their existences, but I was wrong. You’d think that if you had one of the most anticipated betas of all time, that you’d make sure that people who got up early in the stupid morning could at least download it!In other news, Halo 3’s official North American release date is: September 25th. Let’s see if Bungie doesn’t mess this one up too.

Halo 3

The Halo 3 public BETA test starts shortly (see our countdown timer at the top of the site) for lucky people who either got in on one of the two Bungie promotions, or picked up a copy of the enjoyable (really!) game Crackdown (like me :D). My Gamertag is Iwatasan, we’ll see you online.

Parappa Creator Working on Wii

Tuesday, May 15th, 2007

Parappa the Rapper

Masaya Matsuura, the mind behind the popular rhythm games for the PlayStation consoles, is working on an exclusive game for the Wii. When asked about this decision, Matsuurasan first pointed out that the other two consoles were too large to physically be viable options for the Japanese community, to whom space is a very precious commodity. After that, he said:

?Wii is a very good piece of hardware. Many talented people from Nintendo make great ideas for game hardware, of course. Already I?ve been starting to think about Wii software, but it?s very hard sometimes. Because can you keep shaking the controller for hours? Players can?t spend a long time on gameplay, so this can be tough. So I respect Nintendo?s activities, but for software designers like us, it?s very hard.?

His game will apparently be controlled with only one button (which is plausible due to the motion controls of the Wii). Game Usagi will keep you updated as more news arises.
