This thread is here to inform those who have no fate what so ever in the console, while at the same time letting those who doubts about the console.

Project S:
info: According to the latest Japanese magazine news, Suda51 and Kojima have announced the first bit of info concerning Project S. While many are expecting this to relate to Snatcher in some way, what we know now just confuses more. The two developers have confirmed that Project S will span a number of different media forms, but the first will be a radio drama written by Suda51 himself. Let's put this in perspective. We still don't know if Project S is related to Snatcher, it is going to be a radio drama (at least in one form), and we have no idea if a video game will ever be made as part of the project. I'll tell you, these guys walk the line between brilliance and insanity.
UPDATE - It has been confirmed that Project S indeed revolves around the Snatcher universe.

Venus Redemption heads to Wii, DS
An episodic game aiming to be quite engaging while still appealing to the casual crowed, 30 something females in particular. Venus Redemption is heading to the PC, Wii and DS, and is expected to be late 2007 early 2008. Kate Pullinger, a Canadian writer who penned The Last Time I Saw Jane, and Where Does The Kissing End? will be working on the game's story, and Tim Wright (Wipeout) will be handling the music. I am pretty eager to see what happens with this game, seeing that it has no distributor or publisher at this time.

sadness: 
info: Sadness will not have any in-game menu system or HUD. Unlike pretty much every other game on the market, Nibris is attempting to amplify the horrific aspects of their game by making the world as realistic and immersive as possible. And the game is non-linear.
--------------
Agatha Christie: And Then There Were None:
info: Using the Wii's original "Wiimote" controller, gameplay in traditional PC adventure games can be taken to a whole new level of interactivity. For instance, players will have the freedom to control their character's actions, such as using a digging motion to unearth clues, or spinning the handle of a safe using the Wiimote; and the introduction of timed puzzles where, for example, players must race up a set of stairs from a boat docked below.

---------------

There will also be a multiplayer mode and co-op play elements.
-------------------
battalion wars 2

In "Assault" one player simply defends a base while the other attempts to take/destroy the base in a time limit, "Skirmish" or no time limit is more for tactical depth with both players fighting each other using the most of the new features like bases to give a more thought through attack.

EA said that Spielberg's Wii title will release sometime before the end of their fiscal year. That would put it sometime in-between now and March of 2008.

Ferrari Challenge
"one's going to be with a steering wheel and one without. It will feel as good as any other racing game does with a controller. Of course, once you have a steering wheel, it's got a much better feel. We are looking at the option of putting an accelerator and proper steering wheel in for the Wii version, because that's one of the problems of the Nintendo controller - you either have a very loose system that's very forgiving but unrealistic, or if you have it realistic and you suddenly flinch or something it could affect the performance. We feel we've come up with a very good solution to that. We have to aim our quality towards that title to ensure that we're in a position to be comparable to GT. But racing against the clock is not the direction that I think the market is going to go in the future. It's not our philosophy to sell something just because Ferrari is the most desirable brand for a racing videogame." - Mark Cale, CEO and founder of System 3

Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles
info: Besides the mansion, the police station from Resident Evil II, and the train from Resident Evil Zero have been confirmed as levels. Carlos Oliviera was confirmed as a playable character. Wesker is definitely in the game, but he was not confirmed/denied as a playable character. Resident Evil Zero, I, II, and III will all be represented. There may be levels from other games, but Code Veronica will be ignored.

Miyamoto - Wii enhancements to draw in hardcore gamers
"Shiggy: Well, right now I still look at the Wii's sensor bar and the "pointing" technology we've developed as something that I think is going to end up being very effective for the types of games that the hardcore gamers like to play. There are also other enhancements to the Wii interface and developments being planned that are going to really make games for hardcore players a lot more fun and interesting."

Metroid Prime 3: Curruption
info: The graphics looked amazing -- better than Halo 2 on the Xbox without a doubt -- and the levels showed off sparkling details, proving the Wii is far more powerful than the Gamecube. Out of all the games we played, the Wii controller seemed most at home with Metroid.
