Next year’s sequel to the original No More Heroes will be the last on Wii, according to series creator Suda 51.
“I think this is the last NMH that is going to be developed on Wii,” Suda told Edge. “To expand NMH to new possibilities, we need a new platform. Wii is a great platform, but we’ve done everything we can with it now.”
Shortly after Microsoft demoed Project Natal last month, Suda expressed interest in developing for Xbox 360.
Coming out of the same Nintendo Power read-along that brought told us the next Zelda is going to be more of the same comes some disappointing news on New Super Mario Bros. Wii: There are only three and a half playable characters.
When asked about the playable characters being Mario, Luigi, Toad and Another Toad, Shigeru Miyamoto says “That’s it.”
When Infendo asked at E3, Nintendo staff told us that other characters might be a possibility, but warned us that nothing had been announced and they could not confirm or deny speculation. It’s too bad too, because while one Toad has enough identity to stand on his own (a la Mario Kart,) next to Mario and Luigi a second Toad steals the individuality of both funky fungi sidekicks.
Give us the Princess, Yoshi, Geno, or even a Koopa - pallet swap clones are just weak. Let’s hope that Miyamoto’s “that’s it” refers only to what’s been announced, and is yet another cover for “rumors and speculation.”
How will the recently announced Zelda Wii game play? More of the same, that is if out of context quotes from Shigeru Miyamoto are to be believed. “I don’t think it’s going to be that radically different,” the Zelda creator reputedly told Nintendo Power, by way of Aeropause. Great news for Twilight Princess fans hungry for more levels. Not so great for fans looking for the next Wind Waker or Minish Cap. Assuming his quote is on the money, of course.
Square-Enix has a teaser website up for a mysterious new game. Anyone have any idea what the game is? Could it be a remake or an original IP. The only thing that is noticeable is that the teaser website has a 8bit song playing in the background… but so far no one has figured out what game it is from.

“House of the Dead: Overkill was a profitable title for us,” revealed Gary Dunn, MD of European development for Sega, speaking exclusively to GamesIndustry.biz. “Whilst MadWorld commercially didn’t sell what we were expecting, I wouldn’t say it’s game over for mature Wii titles from Sega… We’ve got money to invest in development, we’re just considering where to invest it next.”
