Nintendo announces second quarter Wii lineup, Pokemon Battle Revolution confirmed as first wifi title for the console:

REDMOND, Wash., March 7, 2007 – Wii™ owners of all ages have discovered the fun of playing with a group of friends in the same room. Now for the first time players can compete with one another near and far with Pokémon® Battle Revolution, a game of remarkable firsts:

* the first Wii game to include Nintendo® Wi-Fi Connection play
* the first Pokémon game for Wii
* the first game to link Wii and the hand-held Nintendo DS™
* and the first Wii game that can be controlled using Nintendo DS

When Wii and Nintendo DS are linked, players can use their Nintendo DS units as controllers or import characters from the upcoming Nintendo DS games Pokémon® Diamond Version or Pokémon® Pearl Version. Pokémon Battle Revolution launches on June 25 exclusively for Wii and brings a dramatic new chapter to the Pokémon franchise, which has sold more than 155 million units worldwide. Pokémon Battle Revolution also serves as one of the standouts in Nintendo’s second-quarter launch lineup, which the company revealed today in conjunction with the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco.

Pokémon Battle Revolution will be joined by Super Paper Mario™, the first Mario™ game for Wii; Mario Party® 8, a multiplayer party game; and Big Brain Academy™, a brain-training game that builds on the phenomenal success of the Nintendo DS brain games. These will add to the ever-growing library of Wii games, which will total more than 50 by the end of June. Nintendo DS fans will see the arrival of Pokémon Diamond Version and Pokémon Pearl Version, two surefire smash-hits.

“With strong third-party support, Wii and Nintendo DS have games on the way for both casual and veteran gamers,” says Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime. “Our new ways to play have attracted millions of players around the world. This lineup demonstrates our commitment to leading the industry with the future of video gaming.”

This is an excerpt from an AMN interview with Richard Rispoli, Producer on Legend of the Dragon for Nintendo Wii:

Q: Thanks for taking the time to talk to us about Legend of the Dragon. First up, can you explain to our readers who you are and what your role is in the development of this title?

RR: Legend of the Dragon is an animated series that is very popular in Europe. I believe that it is broadcast in the US on the Jetix channel. The show takes place in China where the main characters are perfecting their martial arts skills. They become more powerful by acquiring magic bracelets that give them the ability to change into mystical warriors. Each hero becomes assigned to protect one of the 12 Chinese zodiacal signs temples against several enemies that want to take over. As an example, Ang becomes the golden dragon and Ming is the Rat guardian.

Q: Game Factory announced Legend of the Dragon was in development back in December, but other than a few tidbits of information about the game, not much was said. Is this going to be a fighting game or an adventure game?
