Nintendo has officially announced a new Kirby game for the Wii. Kirby's Epic Yarn is maybe one of the most visually unique games at E3, the theme of the game is centered around yarn and threading, even Kirby himself is made up of cloth.
Mario has had a big presence on the Wii more so than possibly any other Nintendo console, with Super Mario Galaxy and New Super Mario Bros. Wii Nintendo has shown that they want the plumber to make his presence known not only to Nintendo fans but to the video game industry.

With the release of NCAA Basketball 2010, EA Sports shows us one thing; they always stick to a formula, even if that formula might not be the best one. Last year, 2K Sports stopped releasing their version of a college basketball game, leaving EA Sports uncontested in the field. Now, while this also happened in football and Madden 2010 was nothing short of phenomenal, I can't exactly say the same for NCAA Basketball 2010. Don't get me wrong, some improvements were made to the game compared to last year's, but not nearly enough for me to classify it as an elite sports title.
Nostalgia was developed by Red Entertainment and Matrix Software for the DS, the latter company being the team behind Final Fantasy III, and IV for the DS. Having said that Nostalgia is very much similar to those games, if you are a fan of those titles then chances are you'll really like Nostalgia, likewise if you didn't care for either of those games then Nostalgia will have a tough time sparking any interests for you.
You would have to be in denial to not say that the Wii's current line up of games is relatively uninteresting. This is by no means a shot at Nintendo, if you look at the release list for the rest of '09 and early next year you'll be hard pressed to find something to get really excited about. Save for New Super Mario Bros Wii, Nintendo hasn't even been exploiting their greatest strength: a database of unique IPs.
While we need to still wait a couple of months before the US rendition of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom is released, and believe us we're still surprised that it is making a US debut at all. Today it was announced by IGN that the final two members in the roster is none other then Mega Man's Zero from the Mega Man X series and Joe from old 1972 anime series Gatchaman.
