Last week, we received some clues about the unidentified story included alongside the retellings of Resident Evil 2 and Code: Veronica in the upcoming Capcom title Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles, thanks to some information that was out and about, as well as on Capcom’s own Tokyo Game Show teaser page. This week, we have more information and some images go go with it in our gallery. Set in 2002, this acts as a prequel to the events seen in Resident Evil 4. Shogun Gamer suspects that she m

We didn’t realize it at the time, but the appearance of NoA’s legal squad was the beginning of the end for EarthBound. — Starmen.netThey go on to note that the hype for Super Smash Bros. Brawl had sent their traffic through the roof, and that the Virtual Console rating by the ESRB had been something of a mistake of the “wait, how’d that happen?” variety. As long as NCL remains unwilling to approve changes to the game, EarthBound will stay buried. Earthbound is a game I’ve long wanted to play sin

Looking to make someone’s Christmas by putting a Wii under the tree? “It’s true that despite this amazing amount of product we’re putting into the channel, some locations around the country are still experiencing sellouts. Meanwhile, Wal-mart has stocked “tens of thousands” online, and haven’t sold out yet, but how long will those last? Amidst all this, one other question was put forth to Kaigler, asking about the suggestion that Nintendo isn’t competition for the other two console developers. S

In a recent interview with Nintendo of America’s Executive V.P. of Sales and Marketing, Cammie Dunaway, MTV Multiplayer put forth that Nintendo has Nintendo fans locked up, but have done little personally to appeal to the sort of crowd who is into games such as Halo, Call of Duty, or BioShock. And I think, one, that makes other developers stand up and take notice. I think that next year you’re going to see the tide turn a little bit, in terms of people realizing that the Wii can have something o

No small secret that I’m a big fan of Super Mario Galaxy over here, which is why I’m glad to see it nominated for something like this:On the other hand, Spike TV isn’t exactly known for hosting the best awards when it comes to video games, so perhaps this is but a mixed blessing? In any case, it has some stiff competition in Call of Duty 4. The Guys Choice website shows off more categories, but for the video game-related ones, you can see them all at GameTrailers’ page.

Mario Kart Wii seems to be the new Brawl, as details and information have started to come at a more frequent rate. Today, Nintendo’s UK website has added some new info that details and reaffirms much of what’s already been mentioned before, along with some new info. When you have Mario Kart Wii, it will allow you to install a new channel, the Mario Kart Channel, on your Wii’s internal hardware, allowing access even without the game disc inserted. Within, you will be able to keep track of which f

It’s no small secret some of the lengths that Nintendo has gone to in order to keep kids safe and on the good side of parents, “to be seen as an enemy in the household.”However, what may not be as well known is that at one point during the Wii’s development, one of those lengths would have involved implementing a parental timer, much like the one seen on the rival Xbox 360, which shuts the system off after a set period of time passes. As Takashi Aoyama explained during a keynote at GDC, “instead

The screenshot above of Frank West from the Wii game, Dead Rising: Chop ‘Til You Drop, may lead you to assume he might get some brand new nifty powers. So don’t expect to be swinging around the mall with the grappling hook and shooting down zombies. Sure, who wouldn’t that wild entertainment since it just might be well suited for Dead Rising’s open-ended design and zombie infested action. But then, going “Bionic Commando” through the mall might keep some from enjoying Dead Rising’s signature fea

Bandai Namco has announced the development of four new Tales of games in the latest issue of Japanese gaming mag Shonen Jump. Due out in Japan this December, Innocence is an all-new Tales of adventure with character designs from Mutsumi Inomata, whose previous work with the franchise includes Tales of Destiny and Tales of Rebirth. Namco’s first Tales of effort on the DS, the outsourced Tales of the Tempest, was panned by both critics and fans. UPDATE: Apparently development duties on Tales of In

Nintendo has made the final version of the Wii’s Opera Web Browser available for download. The updated includes a multitude of improvement over the lesser trial version available since last December, including and improved start-up speed, Wii Remote navigation, scrolling/zooming and much clearer text. The company has worked hand-in-hand with Opera in offering better parental controls by using an option filter provided by Astaro. Need the ability to search for something on the fly? The full ver

At this time during the interview, however, a Nintendo representative on-hand stepped in and corrected Yarnton, saying Prime 3 does not feature online play. For months now, we’ve known that Metroid Prime 3 will not feature multiplayer of any kind, including online play. Back at E3 2006, Metroid Prime 3 game manager Kensuke Tanabe said, “For Prime 3, I would like to concentrate more on the single-player so I decided not to implement multiplayer for Prime 3. After all, Metroid Prime 3 is now s

A Nintendo UK spokespersons has confirmed to GamesIndustry.biz that the price for software for Nintendo’s upcoming console, Wii, will be “broadly in line” with the prices of software for current-gen consoles. This news comes after Electronic Art’s comments about Nintendo suggesting the price point for Wii software be $49.95. This news is not all that shocking. Nintendo President Satoru Iwata told CNN Money back in March of this year that “I cannot imagine any first party title could be price

According to French game site, Jeux Video, Atari has revealed that it plans to publish SEGA’s upcoming Wii and PlayStation 3 software. What’s more, the company even revealed that price points for these upcoming titles. Sonic The Hedgehog (Sony PS3) – €67.99/~£47World Snooker Championship 2007 (Sony PS3) – €73.99/~£51Sonic Wild Fire (Nintendo Wii) – €59.99/~£41.50Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz (Nintendo Wii) – €59.99/£41.50If these signs are any indication, it seems that at least

Hey, there’s some PSP news to report! Over two years ago, Agere Systems filed a suit against Sony for potential infringement on patents regarding “wireless local area network apparatus.” Looks like the courts ruled in Agere Systems’ favor. Sony has been fined $18.5 million for use of the technology in their devices, such as the mylo and PSP. The jury ruled that the patent infringement was willful. — PSP FanboyI imagine that’s not going to help Sony Computer Entertainment’s bottom line any this q

Vivendi set to release the Aliens and Predators onto the PSP later next year with the release of newly announced title, Alien Vs Predator. The game is being based on the new Aliens Vs Predator film and will have players controlling an elite Predator. Players will be armed with a range of advanced technology such as thermal vision, cloaking, and other Predator technology. Outside of the technological weapons, players will also be equipped with classic weapons such as wrist blades, laser trap mine

An ever-growing complaint among gamers is the increasing number of custom controllers and peripherals needed to play so many new games properly. Wheels, guitars, drums, mics, guns, balance boards… and on top of all that, Hideo Kojima himself tried to work in a new controller during the early stages of developing Metal Gear Solid 4. And some of what they tried was, in a word, shocking. As part of a series of video interviews in which Microsoft has gathered the thoughts of developers regarding Pro

The release of Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings for the Wii, PlayStation 2, Nintendo DS, and PlayStation Portable was a most curious one, namely due to the fact that we had been hearing rumblings about a PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 Indy game for some time prior, and suddenly… poof. The game was shelved, but not without leaving behind evidence of its existence, evidence which the kind blokes at Unseen64 have managed to salvage, dust off, and present to the world at large. So take off your hat

I typically hate writing about hardware sales; it’s usually just the same thing, month in and month out, with the Wii at the top. Sony beat Nintendo. In the week ending March 8th, Sony has been estimated as having sold 38,748 PlayStation 3 units, while the Wii moved 16,950, which was only a bit more than Microsoft’s 15,152 Xbox 360s. Indeed, last week’s addition of new colors of the handheld is credited for the heightened demand, leading Sony on to 60,339 sales for the week. Nintendo didn’t trai

Pardon the headline, but it’s the first thing I tend to think of when, in this era of post-Lara Croft worship, anyone introduces their game with the words “Strong New Iconic Videogame Heroine,” which is precisely what EA has done with their original fiction for Mirror’s Edge. Of course, I could just as easily be not giving Rhianna Pratchett, the writer and story designer for the game, enough credit. “When Faith’s sister gets framed for a murder she did not commit, Faith finds herself on the edge

Far Cry 2 was announced earlier this year for the PS3 and 360, but sadly there were no details surrounding the game. The gameplay will feature a complete re-haul from the original Far Cry and now feature a type of leveling up system. At the start of the game you’ll become infected with malaria, as you progress you’ll discover medication that slowly cures you. With a lot of new additions and innovations, Far Cry 2 is looking to reinvent the series later this year. Stay tuned for more details on F
