As part of their investor conference, three mini-games were shown.

During today's investor briefing, Nintendo has released a new trailer for the Wii edition of Rhythm Tengoku (Heaven).

The trailer shows three new mini-games: using a fork to stab beans that were flicked from the other end of a table, a samurai chopping demons in rhythm with how their eyes appear in a dark cloud, and a game of tennis played between two airplanes.

There's still hope for these currently Japan-only titles.

Monado: Beginning of the World, which is known as Xenoblade in Japan, and Line Attack Heroes appeared on a North American release schedule during Nintendo's investors meeting in Japan today.

The two games weren't given any solid release date, merely appearing on the list next to The Legend... Read more...

And that's about all we know.

Epic Mickey was the first game the company developed for Disney following their acquisition in 2007. The company was formed by Spector and several other former Ion Storm employees.

This week you can land planes, shoot down planes, shoot down meteors, bust up rocks, bust up skulls, and gamble (again).

In their weekly downloads press release, Nintendo of America promises that this week's offering means "you'll never face another humdrum afternoon again." With one WiiWare game and two demos, a pair of Capcom arcade titles for the Virtual Console, and a slew of DSiWare titles, they may be right.

Here's a guide to getting the best deal in Great Britain.

Nintendo UK are advising that gamers pre-order the Nintendo 3DS at their favourite retailer with a deposit, as this will help with forecasting. They say that this means they can ensure that enough units are shipped to match demand, as if everyone tries to get a console last-minute, they may have shipped all of their stock, and so there will not be enough consoles in the initial supply.

Nintendo's ordering policy would leave them with excess games they cannot sell.

Due to Nintendo's ordering policy for initial Nintendo 3DS stock, small game stores such as Game Station Online may not sell the console at launch.

Nintendo's policy requires that retailers order in bundles of two consoles (one blue, one black) with five games. He notes that this may be different... Read more...

I promise the title of this article will be the only Bob Dylan reference I make. 

Before we get into my "I'm excited to be Director, and here's what I plan to do" speech, let's look at some interesting facts about Nintendo World Report and its almost 12-year history.

First off, in succeeding Jon Lindemann, I will be only the fifth director in site history, which is kind of ridiculous... Read more...

I, for one, welcome our new directorial overlord.

Two years ago, I took the helm of Nintendo World Report as its Director, an achievement that marked the pinnacle of my tenure at this website.  It's been a great run at the top, but everything must come to an end, and it is with bittersweet emotion that I am stepping down as Director of Nintendo World Report effective today.

A UK publication comes forward with details about the launch lineup, and some information may be available about the cost of the device.
