If you are talking about the Wii version, it's Accent Core...

OMG - Nintendo going 3rd Party!!!

Ok. now that I got that out of the way, it is time to break out the old Apple & Nintendo rumor log and add this one to that never dieing list.
Apparently Nintendo is gonna license out games for the iPhone, which would technically make Nintendo a 3rd party to Apple.

If you can’t beat them join them. With the iPhone days away from being launched Nintendo has apparently begun working with Apple, licensing a limited amount of content for the new phone. It was rumored a while back that Nintendo was planning on releasing a phone on their own, however this was scuttled shortly after the iPhone was first shown in January.

The games, likely to be aimed at the "casual gamer" market, will be released on the iTunes Store for about $29.99 a piece and will use the multi-touch touch screen inplace of a d-pad and buttons.

Asked anonymously whether or not these games would cut into Nintendo DS sales, we heard a resounding no. The logic is that because the licensed games will be exclusive and cater to an older audience they should not intrude into Nintendo’s existing markets.
The one thing Nintendo does worry about is their amount of control of Apple. While not developing a cell phone internally has its advantages, giving up control of platform has not historically been a practice Nintendo has taken. Nevertheless Nintendo sees gaming on Mobile Smart Phones as a threat to their core business and a partnership with Apple could be seen as a bold move into a very profitable market. One thing is for sure Nintendo should expect to share in the marketing spotlight of the iPhone in the same way that AT&T has.

You might even think that this may be the first step in licensing some multi-touch screen action for the DS2 (coming in 2010?) should this rumor hold true. It would also resurface the iTunes channel for Wii rumor (was that a rumor?) and the collaborative project to take on MS from Nintendo and Apple rumors from way back.

I way to play with technology your going to be R&Ding and maybe making a profit. Sounds great. Though I don't see this long term and I hope they don't put their big guns there or we may end up with Lip Stick Link again.

Beautiful Katamari PS3 canned in favor of Beautiful KatamarWii

Quote
Namco Bandai revealed earlier this year that it was developing the next-generation Katamari Damacy sequel, Beautiful Katamari, for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Up until recently, the developer continued to work on both versions of the project. However, sources close to Namco Bandai tell IGN that the studio ran into some trouble with the port of the game to PlayStation 3 and these issues, coupled with the stalled sales of the system, have led to the project's quiet cancellation. Looking to better-than-expected sales of Wii, the company has, say insiders, re-shifted resources to ready a Wii build of Beautiful Katamari instead. Given that the title cannot be ported from Xbox 360, the game is being re-concepted for Wii.

OMFG no way! Beautiful Katamari on Wii would be so for the win.

Please let this rumor be true.

Here's a nice juicy rumor:

Mario Kart will be revealed at E3, release in Europe in '07, US in '08, because SSBB will be delayed in Europe 'till '08.

Crimm · « **Reply #586 on:** July 08, 2007, 04:06:12 PM »

Hmm, the question is "will it have online?"

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #587 on:** July 08, 2007, 04:25:00 PM »

If it doesn't have online then there is no point in releasing it.

and this rumor has been added to the OP.

Crimm · « **Reply #588 on:** July 08, 2007, 05:37:46 PM »

This is Nintendo we're talking about.

EasyCure · « **Reply #589 on:** July 08, 2007, 06:25:30 PM »

I wonder how the controls will be for mario cart. In an old thread, probably about last years E3, I had come up with a few ideas but that was before playing excite truck and feeling how smooth it controls by tilting. Unless they add something new to the mix that involves more buttons i think holding the wiimote sideways would be good enough.

Steer = tilting
Accelerate = 2
Brake = 1
Items = B
Hop/drift = A (hold for drifting)
Dpad = hold to throw items in a certain direction

if they go the double dash route again i expect alot of shaking at the start of the race... Ugh i hope they don't do another doubled dash

couchmonkey · « **Reply #590 on:** July 09, 2007, 11:36:50 AM »

It might be hard to get consistent, but I'd like to see your exact control scheme, only with a flick of the controller to hop...then landing with the controller tilted initiates a drift. If it was implemented well, it would rule. If not, it might just be annoying.

I don't believe this. Mario Galaxy, Paper Mario, Mario Kart and Metroid Prime 3 released from August to the end of 2007? Really?

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #592 on:** July 09, 2007, 12:44:31 PM »

Easycure: I really like your control setup. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that setup.

Though I think you can completely negate the B button for items and just use that for the hop. Here is my reasoning. If you are already pushing the D-Pad for item use, why not just tap any direction for items that can held behind you or the triple turtle shells that act like a shield.

Then you can even decide to hold an item in front, left, right or behind you for different kinds of offensive and defensive manuevers.

This control scheme would really push the Mario Kart battle elements to a new degree of strategy and aggressive play. I also believe that the double dash characters is the way to really make this battle system look and play aggressive and cool.

I am not talking about that co-op mode. But the idea of having DK or another character being the personality fighting other racers. Having Luigi actually throwing a green shell sideways would be the coolest thing since Mario Kart SNES. Being able to spot what an opponent's weapon is in their hands before they use it would add more depth to racing, as you plan the best way to pass your opponent without getting burned.

Rumour: Mario and friends to wear helmets in next Mario Kart game due to NHTSA complaints.

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #594 on:** July 10, 2007, 06:33:12 AM »

Couchmonkey: I haven't heard that...but with the really cool redesigns for Super Mario Strikers I am ok with any interesting redesigns that could give them personality and edge.

Though for the record, I don't think I believe that rumor.

This one os taken from the Pre-E3 Expectations Thread.

I would love for them to be right, but then again, a BBQ by Bill does sound a little interesting.

I.......I think he was joking.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #597 on:** July 10, 2007, 06:57:08 AM »

But I want some BBQ..... I hear Rumor Reporter taste like chicken and with the right sauce you would never know the difference.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #598 on:** July 10, 2007, 07:00:37 AM »

I believe that Requiem was responding to Spak, but the order it's in is rather amusing...

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #599 on:** July 10, 2007, 07:02:35 AM »

So the BBQ is still a possibility?

*grabs fork and knife*

I call the sweet cheek meat!!
