The first “true” video game movie isn’t doing to well at the box offices, according to sales data. Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World only managed to pull in a measly 10 million over opening weekend; which isn’t exactly cutting it for the movie with a 60 million budget.

Strangely enough, if you guys didn’t already know this, this is one of the few movies that Miyamoto has given the thumbs up too. The director of the movie gave him a special screening at E3 2010 so that he could approve some “Nintendo” elements in the movie. So if Miyamoto’s approval isn’t enough… I don’t know what is. It’ll be sad if this movie tanks, which is unfair considering it’s a pretty good movie.

THQ has announced something pretty cool today, and I’m not talking about their promise not to release anymore mediocre titles.  I’m talking about uDraw Studio. This game comes with a drawling tablet, and that’s almost if not as cool as the Mario Paint mouse back on the Super Nintendo.

This $70 add-on accessory uses the WiiMote to power itself and is approximately 9 inches wide and 7 inches long. It will allow you to draw and sketch objects as well as play games similar to “Pictionary”; which is said to be released as an add on title at around $30. The tablet will come packaged with an art-based game, “uDraw Studio,” when it goes on sale sometime around the holiday season.

Any Infendo artists interested in this little number?

Cool independent game being published by Konami on the DSi. Check it out.

For those who haven’t heard of this unique title heading to the Wii from Hudson Entertainment; Lost in Shadow is a puzzle platformer that puts you in the shadows. You are the personification of a young boy’s shadow who is, in essence, trying to climb a tower to reunite with his body. To get to his body he has to climb a giant tower before nightfall, and the only way is to interact with the shadows, climbing them, and interacting with them.
