As previously announced Animal Crossing is coming to the Wii, the only question missing is, when? Currently, we don’t quite know. The very popular title is going to have a sequel though on the Wii.
In a one-on-one interview Shigeru Miyamoto about the future of Animal Crossing he stated that ,
“The Animal Crossing team has been very busy working on a variety of different projects. Actually, the Mii Channel was put together by the director of the most recent Animal Crossing game. His name is Mr. Nogami. Recently he said he really wants to get back to work on Animal Crossing again, so hopefully we’ll be able to show something to people before too long.”
Hopefully we can start to see some solid development. The game is also expected to make good use of Nintendo Wi-Fi, like the previous title did for the DS.
The last game announced today at E3 was easily the most interesting or at most clever.
It showed some kind of pad that people stand on to play games, do exercise and compete against other players on a graphical stage.
Mr. Miyamoto wanted to show off this game himself, not Zelda, not SM: Galaxy. He wanted it to be a whole family game.
He had 3 fitness trainers show off the game. The first trainer showed off an stretching exercise that develops leg muscle. The Wii pad ensures that it’s done right and at the proper pace.
The second trainer showed off a game that looked a bit more fun. It reminded me of DDR but with only two pads. One for each foot. The idea is to watch the pads on screen and match them.
The third trainer demonstrated a sideways twist. She did it very well, though it seemed that when the game was moved out onto the floor it lost a bit of it’s calibration. It seemed a bit off. He encouraged people to take a look at it on the floor where it would be better calibrated.
The name of the extra bit of hardware, the pad, is called the “Wii Balance Board”. It measures the pressure put on the board and as your weight shifts around the board.
Brain Age 2, a huge hit in Japan, will be hitting stores on this side of the pond August 20th. With all new challanges that have made it even more popular than the first.
Get our brains on those digital treadmills, August 20th we’re ready to gain a few IQ points.
As Reggie describes it, these are the games of skill intended to reach out to an even further audience and maybe make this audience a little smarter.

Super Smash Brothers: Brawl release date announced for Dec. 3rd at E3 today.
A long wait as they keep on treasing us with new trailers and bits of information about the game all of the time.
Though it’ll all in the end be worth it I’m sure.
Today at E3 a new hardware announement for the Wii was released. The Wii Zapper. Play as a military official shooting down terrori
sts or shooting Zombies in Resident Evil. Third partys will be making announcements regarding their plans for the Wii zapper later this week.
You also won’t be missing the zapper when you play your games. It will be packaged with Wii software and also available for a low retail price of $19.99.
Not bad
Konami just doesn’t think that a $100 price cut will have enough of a positive impact on the PS3’s sales. Konami just doesn’t think it’s enough for Metal Gear anymore.
“I wonder if Sony can win back user support by the price cut of just $100,” speaks Kazumi Kitaue, head of Konami’s North American and European operations.
Konami is considering releasing it on other formats to pay for the development costs that went into the game. They would like to hold it as a PS3 exclusive since it was “born” with Sony, however with the PS3 costing as much as decent personal computer they’re reconsidering keeping it with Playstation.
In response to Sony’s price cuts of their PS3s, and to maintain the price advantage Microsoft enjoys, Microsoft has announced price cuts on all three versions of the XBox 360.
The Elite’s price is going from $479 to $399, the price of the Premium version is going down from $399 to $349 and the price of the Core version is going from $299 to $249.

This update, to protect the games economy and make the gaming experience better, will now cause all mail containing gold, silver and copper coins attached to it to delayed for up to an hour. Just like it has been with mail containing items.
From the WoW Forums, written by Eyonix(Blizzard Poster):
As part of our continued efforts to protect the game’s economy and ultimately the game-play experience of each individual player, we’ve made a small change to how an aspect of our mail system works. Just like in-game mail transactions containing items, mail sent with gold, silver, and copper coins attached will in most cases now take one hour to reach the recipient. This change will help us to better ensure the legitimacy of such transactions and further prevent the unlawful influx of currency into each realm’s economy. Keep in mind that this delay will only affect the following mail transactions containing coins:
Regular mail with coins attached.
CoD payments received via the mail system.
Note: This will NOT affect mail sent from one character to another when under the same account.

Interesting stuff. You readers are 1 in 217 million.
Rated M for Mature.
Halo 3 got that rating for “Blood and Gore, Mild Language, Violence” by ESRB(Entertainment Software Rating Board).
Considering that the last Halo games were also rated M we can expect the same level of violence and language as we expected in the last Halo games.
No results yet from the BBFC or other European software ratings board. I’m sure we can expect similar ratings though.
