The former PlayStation 3 exclusive made the jump due to the outlook of high development costs.

At E3 last year, Capcom announced that the latest game in its Monster Hunter RPG series, Monster Hunter 3, would be coming to the PlayStation 3. Little was heard of the game since that time.

Fast forward to Nintendo Conference 2007, where we learned that the same Monster Hunter 3 was in fact coming to the Wii, and exclusively at that. There must have been a reason for such a drastic swing in development focus, right?

"Nintendo has asked us to please make it."

In an interview with Game Informer, Shugo and Hiroyuki Takahashi, the brotherly duo in charge of developer Camelot Software Planning, explained that they are still very much interested in making another game in their studio's acclaimed handheld RPG series, Golden Sun.

Last week we were graced with a megaton announcement: Sonic the Hedgehog is in Super Smash Bros. Brawl! Finally, Mario gets the opportunity to beat the inferior mascot into a pulp.

So now we want to know how these two announcements affect your excitement.

Some other things were announced over the last two weeks besides Sonic. We've got the summary!

It has been a crazy couple of weeks. We already know about Sonic. They used him to cushion the blow of the delay. I don't know about you, but I don't think it really helped. Hopefully more daily updates will do the trick.

Don't hold your breath for a holiday price drop.

Think $250 is too much for a Wii? Too bad! In an interview with Reuters, Nintendo of America’s vice president of marketing, George Harrison, confirmed that “We’ll stay at $249 for the foreseeable future.
