Only God knows whether this is a remake or a totally new game. Many remember Bubble Bobble for the NES which was a great game in my opinion so maybe Taito can do great things with this game. Maybe some DLC for some new levels?

Eric Nofsinger, one of the big wigs over at High Voltage told MTV Multiplayer that The Conduit will support all of the things mentioned in the title of this article and that a sequel is already planned. Work will be started on the sequel once a publisher for the first title is found.

A freeware PC game created by a designer named Pixel, Cave Story has become one of the best PC games to play. Gameplay is a combination of Metroid and Castlevania, which some people like to call "Metroidvania". Being such a big hit on PCs, Cave Story is going to be released on the WiiWare this holiday season. The game is also going to be featuring "exclusive content" just for the WiiWare.

Hailed by EmThree to be the bestest PC game ever. You can download it for free right here.

The main site will be up on October 6th, maybe giving us more details on Cave Story Wii.

Other stuff was mentioned at the conference but that's for a different post.

The return of Lara Croft was a huge announcement for everyone, hitting on the 360, PS3, PS2, Wii, DS, PC, and your Phone! Now, Crystal Dynamics creative director Eric Lindstrom announced the new Player Tailoring option. With me explaining it may get confusing, I think a quote will due.

Tomb Raider: Underworld is set to release November 18, 2008 across platforms I already mentioned.

Japanese Business magazine Nikkei have released "evidence" that a new DS redesign is on the way, with loads of new features, including:

- (digital) Camera included
- music playback function
- Wireless connection function power up
- larger screen
- to be released this year in Japan
- under 20000 yen
- new types of games by using the camera
- get/exchange data from Wii and SD card (SD card slot included?)

Keep in mind that Nikkei also announced the Portable GameCube years before it happened. Assuming it will happen. Because it hasn't...

However, there is some blurry video evidence on youtube here

Look at them! They look like idiots!


I know what you're thinking. "lol Wii Music." Don't lie. We all know each and every one of you wants this game. Wii Music will revolutionize gaming. It will not only revolutionize gaming, but it will also set the standards of all music games. I kid, obviously. I'm sure some people will find this game fun. Who knows, it may actually suprise people.










Oh and the release date is October 20th.

Remember that time around spring where Ninty showed off some WiiWare, WiiFit, WiiSnore Rock Band, Samba de Amigo, Star Wars TFU and much more? Doesn't matter if you do or don't, Nintendo is doing it agian.

Recently a rumor went around the net saying that Nintendo would hold a media summit in Japan this fall. And despite the rumor originating from 2chan, according to WiiFanboy, it happened to be true. Apart from being set in Japan.

The Media Summit will happen on October 2nd and 3rd, in San Fransisco and Nintendo is likely to show off none other than WiiMusic... again. All we "hardcore" gamers can hope for is new details on Pikmin and perhaps Animal Crossing. Oh yes, and some DS games too (What else is coming for the DS besides Chrono Trigger and Sonic Chronicles?).

Also worth mentioning is another rumor of a Guitar Hero: Jimi Hendrix edition. According to none other than Slash of Guns n' Roses fame. Expect that one some time after the Metallica one.

Recently, a staff member from High Voltage spoke to Nintendo Radio in an interview explaining they have no plans on releasing Downloadable Content for their project "The Conduit." However, he stated that even though DLC is absent from the first one, they might include it in the sequel if it ever happens.


He went on to explain more about the game:
