There is a rumor that the a new version of the game Snowboard 1080° is being produced to work with the Wii Balance Board.

This is an excerpt from the Preview of the Nintendo Wii game NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams by 1up

Visually, Journey of Dreams looks pretty good at this point. The framerate could still use a bit of work, but the textures look nice and the whole game has a cohesive feel to it. It’s hard not to wonder what things would look like on PS3 or 360, especially since the original Nights was known as a visual powerhouse, but for a Wii game, this is certainly pretty decent looking.

Countering rumors saying the game will be delayed until next year, Sega announced at TGS that Journey of Dreams will ship on December 13th in Japan, and we expect a U.S. release this year as well. Just in time for Christmas, curiously enough. Who wants to place bets that we’ll see a Christmas Nights-style bonus come December 25th?

Super Smash Bros Brawl New Item: Stickers

Stickers are easier to get than trophies. Just play the game and you’ll start to earn them as rewards.  This is a fun extra mode where you can enjoy decorating things by putting stickers on them. And rumor is, you can even save screenshots?!

A New rumor war released by Falafelkid’s blog site about Manhunt 2 coming to the Wii with the AO rating still attached:

I have contact to someone who claims to work for NOA in Redmond. That person has told me in confidence that a memo was circulated about two weeks ago about Nintendo publishing ´Manhunt 2´ despite the AO rating.

I have been seeking to verify this with my sources at Take 2 and Rockstar. Also, I have asked for the memo to be forwarded to me. I am still busy on those two fronts, so please bear with me until I get more detail and can actually write a proper post.

Let me just close by saying that I do regard the source as reasonably reliable, while I simply cannot believe that Nintendo would ever consider such a move.

Mario Kart Wii In Europe This Year?

Sources say that the Wii version of Mario Kart - which is said to be revealed at E3 - will be out this year in Europe…

One of our trusted sources has given us some news about the Wii version of Mario Kart.

The game will be shown at this year’s E3, which is something that everything expects anyway. What’s more is that it will be release this year in Europe. Specific details on the game are still unknown - just the planned release date and the fact that it exists is known - but we will find all that out next week anyway.

Mario Kart for the Wii will be a “replacement” for Super Smash Bros. Brawl in Europe, which will sadly miss Europe this year, and it will be out early 2008 instead. However, this also means that the US will not see Mario Kart until early 2008, and they will be getting Smash Bros. Brawl in 2007. This means that Nintendo fans in both Europe and the US will have something to moan about (they’ll have something to be glad about, too….but there will probably be more moaning).

Also note that at the beginning of June Patrick Nagel, Deputy Marketing Manager for Nintendo Germany, stated that Europe will see Metroid Prime 3 and Mario Kart in 2007. We have reason to believe that he really was speaking the truth then.

As we have already said, we trust this source, but have put this up as rumour rather than news because we have no official way to back it up. You’ll just have to wait and see.

Anew Wii Rumor: Mario Kart Wii 2007 in Europe? Interview Nintendo Germany:

Babelfish Translation:

Patrick Nagel, deputy marketings manager with Nintendo Germany, stood for Magnus with an attendance in the Nintendo center in Großostheim speech and answer. Patrick tells you in the interview some details to NINTENDOS product politics in Germany the fact that it is in many Gamingforums on the way & mentions even that one plans to publish Mario Kart Wii (”with something luck”) and Metroid prime 3 (”definitely”) still in this year in Germany. If those are times no reasons to switch on!

A new Rumor states that there is an exclusive Medal of Honor title in the development for the Nintendo Wii.

Medal of Honor: Airborn was scheduled to be on the Wii a few months back, but now all has gone quiet. As far as we know there are no plans to bring that game to the Wii. It would make sense that this game was scrapped for an exclusive MoH on Wii. This rumor is said to come from Patrick Gilmore, a producer at EA. Hopefully this rumor comes true…MoH: Vanguard left a very sour taste in our mouths.
