In a recent interview with Famitsu, Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto talked about the company's new plans for 2008.
And although the interview's main focus was aimed towards his plans for the Wii Fit, the highlight was the mention of a possible Super Mario Galaxy sequel and a new Legend of Zelda title for Wii.

Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto is interviewed in the latest issue of Famitsu. While the interview, which was done to commemorate the magazine reaching issue number 1000, is mostly reflection, Miyamoto did give a few hints on future plans.

First, the Balance Wii Board, the peripheral that's included with Wii Fit. The magazine noted that Wii Fit has been quite the success story for Nintendo so far. To this, Miyamoto responded that if the game sees success overseas as well, Nintendo may end up releasing separate titles that make use of the peripheral.

The magazine also asked Miyamoto the inevitable question about sequels, and he gave the... More »

When building a console, you'd better make sure it has a sweet logo. Here are the 10 greatest:

10. TurboGrafx-16

NEC wanted to drive home the point that its console packed 16 bits of fury. Thus, we have this beauty, which successfully communicates the system's power over its NES competitor. The machine didn't perform well in the States, but that's perfectly fine, since you can relive its best and worst offerings via Wii's Virtual Console.

9. Sega Saturn

Companies ballsy enough to name their system after a planet also need an out of this world logo. So Sega snatched Saturn from the heavens and then wrapped an S around it, just in case you assumed Nintendo was responsible for the machine. Too bad the Saturn died an early death. At least it gave us Panzer Dragoon Saga and Radiant Silvergun.

8. Xbox 360

The last thing Microsoft ever wants (aside from losing another billion) is for you to forget that its machines ... More »

While both Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4 have given gamers hours upon hours of entertainment, sometimes fragging people in the same setting can start to get a little stale. Lately, we’ve seen a couple of new maps packs released, the latest being the Legendary Map Pack for Halo 3, as well as the recent Variety Map Pack for Call of Duty 4.

Both map packs retail for 10 US dollars (or 800 points in Microsoft land), and give gamers three, or in CoD4’s case four, new maps to tool around with. Although to be realistic, not all of these maps are truly new, as two of the Legendary pack’s maps are remakes, as well as one of CoD 4’s.

Both games have practiced differing methods of distributing this content, raising the question if gamers could be getting a better deal.

The hardcore crowd will of course eat these maps up no matter what the cost, but the reality is that the majority of people won’t be buying them. By that, I mean people who aren’t re... More »

Another Wii System Update is available today. While there was a new update made available on March 20th in preparation for WiiWare, there is no official word on what this latest update is for or contributes to the state of play.

With that being stated, according to the source linked above it appears the update patches the Trucha exploit. Therefore, it is recommended that you NOT perform this or any future update for the time being!

To quote: A new Wii System Update has been released, containing a new version of the firmware (IOS37) with a fix for the signing bug. The Firmware will not become active until a new System Menu release is made to use it; be forewarned.

(Note this is NOT the update from a couple of days ago that was related to Wiiware. That one is confirmed as 'safe'.)

The video below from DT042908 is supposedly of the introduction to GTA IV on a leaked PS3 version of the game.

It's of the 'dark' kind, and the game just suddenly appears and starts running.

Real? Fake? You decide! :P
