Nintendo cites assembly error, but there could be another reason.

Nintendo of Europe posted the following announcement on their website today:

[Mario Party 8] was launched in the UK today. Unfortunately we have discovered that a small number of games contain the wrong version of the disk due to an assembly error. We have therefore decided to recall all copies of the game from UK retailers so that this mistake can be corrected.

Here are the games you can expect to see for the Wii and DS at this year's show. See which games we have played, now updated through the end of the show!

The following is a list of games that Nintendo World Report has confirmed as making a playable appearance at the 2007 E3 Business and Media Summit. Note that some multiplatform games listed here may not be playable on a Nintendo system at the show, but if we can confirm the Wii or DS version is identical to the others, we'll still try to bring you preview coverage of those games.

Look! It's Smashville!

The blog this week revealed several new pieces of information. Probably the biggest news (which was actually revealed at Nintendo's E3 press conference), was the North American release date of December 3, 2007. Should we go get in line now? Anyway, here are the other new details.
