The latest item revealed for Super Smash Bros. Brawl is another of the game's items, the Pitfall. Taken from Animal Crossing, the pitfall creates an invisible hole on the stage which players will fall into if they aren't careful. Also, if it hits an opponent when thrown, the item will force their character through the floor, with embarrassing results.
It's worth noting this is the second time Animal Crossing will be represented in Brawl, along with the already-revealed Smashville stage. Could an Animal Crossing character, such as Tom Nook, be making a playable appearance?
Check out some art and screens below.

Further Proof Kaplan and Llewelyn Out at Big N [ GameDaily ]
|
It's well known that a good chunk of the sales and marketing staff at Nintendo won't be making the move from Redmond, but we still haven't known which big wigs would stay and which would go. While there is nothing certain about George Harrison yet, Perrin Kaplan and Beth Llewelyn seem to definitely be leaving. Nintendo has posted job openings for Vice President of Corporate Affairs (matching up with Kaplan's title) and Senior Director of Corporate Communications (matching up with Llewelyn's title). No comment from Nintendo yet on their official status other than they are still with the company. The truth should come out in September. Stay with us and we'll keep you posted.

Oxygen Games today announces the early autumn release of its delightfully nostalgic retro platformer, Chronos Twins for Nintendo DS.
Playing with the concept of time travel, Chronos Twins, sees the player in the driving-seat, as Nec – the last best hope for his planet - not only battles to save his world but also to avenge the death of his brother.
To successfully complete levels, players must initially use both screens simultaneously as s/he plays across two temporal dimensions (past and present) in a bid to meet (and defeat) the nameless entity head-on when it first appears on Nec’s homeworld. Manoeuvring through side-scrolling areas, the aim is to control both the present-time hero whilst exploring the planet’s past in order to conquer the alien threats.
Chronos Twins has been designed with a gradual learning curve, which enables the player to ease into the game. Once the player has progressed through a number of stages, the game becomes increasingly challenging, when both screens merge into one.
Chronos Twins, only on Nintendo DS, is scheduled for release this autumn.

Forget those Final Fantasy remakes everyone, here comes some really big news: Not only is Dragon Quest IV being remade for the Nintendo DS (an open secret in the industry), but so is Dragon Quest V and VI. Most hardcore fans will probably be thrown for a loop over the last two titles, particularly DQVI, which has not so far been remade. The three SNES titles will, of course, receive a 3D graphical upgrade. DQIV will hit sometime this winter with the other two sometime later on in the next year. No word yet on if any of these will come to the US, but there is a good possibility. Stay tuned and check out the latest scans of the titles.

Viva Pinata Breaks Onto DS [ Kotaku ]
|
Rare isn't quite done with the DS yet. The now Microsoft-owned developer announced this past weekend at the San Diego Comic-Con that it will be bringing one of the Xbox 360's most valuable properties to Nintendo's dual-screened handheld, as Viva Pinata makes its way to the Nintendo DS. The game will be a port of the original 360 title, with a new top-down view and touch screen-based controls. Nothing else about the game, such as a publisher (certainly not Microsoft), or potential online play was revealed.
Check out the first (blurry) image of the game below. More as it breaks.

The official Super Smash Bros. Brawl website has updated with yet another of the game's Final Smash finishing moves. This time, it's Donkey Kong's Konga Beat, an attack making use of, oddly enough, DK's Bongo controller. When activated, DK brings out his controller and rocks out with it, unleashing a bevy of sound attacks and claps to put the hurt on enemies. While the attack is effective on its own, players can increase the power by pressing buttons in time with the music. DK is invincible while performing, but players using the attack while the screen is scrolling (on certain stages) may be in for some pain.
Check out some screens of the Konga Beat in action below.

It's gonna take more than a good pair of shin guards to protect Mario and his turbo-kicking teammates in Mario Strikers Charged, Nintendo's blistering new soccer title for Wii that launches today. Earthquakes, firestorms and electric shockwaves are just a few of the otherworldly hazards in this ball-chasing battle royal. And with players from coast to coast competing online, this wildly unpredictable pitch is for neither the faint of heart nor the heavy of foot. It's not just soccer, it's soccer - Mario style.
Mario Strikers Charged introduces nine sensational new stadiums, plus a host of new characters with their own special abilities and power moves. Players create their own teams by mixing and matching captains and sidekicks, then use the Wii Remote and Nunchuk to face opponents in single-player or multiplayer modes. Mastering Striker Challenges or the tournament-styled Road to the Striker Cup will unlock new elements and cheats.
The excitement extends beyond your living room as Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, Nintendo's wireless gaming service, enables players nationwide to meet and compete online. Participants are ranked using a positive structured points-based system, and rankings are reset to zero each week to keep the competition fresh and fierce.

It looks like the Assist Trophies in Super Smash Bros. Brawl are going to continue on the way of the obscure, as the latest website update reveals that long-time Kirby enemy Knuckle Joe will be one of the many characters to randomly appear from the new item. Upon release from the trophy, Joe will be able to unleash a fury of Vulcan Jabs, following it up with one of two finishing attacks: a mighty punch called the Smash Punch, or a burst of lightning called the Rising Break.
Check out some screens of Knuckle Joe in action below.

Happy Crawl Out of Your Mother's Vagina Day, Joe! [ Wii Café ]
|
Congratulations go out to our very own Joseph Ezekiel McCollum. Ok, that's not his middle name. I don't know his middle name. Hey Joe, what's your middle name?
Anyway, today is the 20th anniversary of that glorious day when Joe burst from his mother's womb and graced this world with his wholly pointless existence, made useful only by the fact that he's awesome at writing news and other stuff about Nintendo and making us laugh.
Some of you have gotten to know Joe a bit better in the past weeks in our Open Mic Night feature (returning soon), and for that we're sorry.
Congrats, Joe...you're officially old enough to not be a teenager but not old enough to drink legally. Celebrate by sitting at home and wondering what the hell to do for the next year. And as always, we're happy to have you and privileged to call you a friend. Sappy moment over.
Happy birthday, buddy.
Update: Apparently his middle name is Brandon. Mystery solved.

The official Super Smash Bros. Brawl website has updated with a new move players can pull off during the game: the Footstool Jump. Players can now jump off of their opponents with good timing, allowing them to reach higher areas. While some may think this new move is ineffectual for battle, it's actually a great way to line up for a Meteor Smash attack.
Check out some screens of a Footstool Jump in action below.

|
Link, Tetra and Tetra's band of pirates have set sail in search of new lands at the end of the Wind Waker adventure. Several months later, they come across a patch of ocean covered in a dense fog, in which they discover a mysterious ghost ship. Tetra falls into danger when she sets out to explore the ship alone, and Link falls into the ocean when he attempts to rescue her. When he washes up unconscious, he is awakened by the sound of a fairy's voice. With the aid of this fairy and other allies, he sets off to explore waters unknown.
The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass launches in the US on October 1.

Today's Super Smash Bros. Brawl website update deals with yet another of the game's new stages. As has been seen in trailers, Skyworld (from Kid Icarus) will make an appearance, complete with floors that crumble under the weight of players. The floor will eventually regenerate over time, so it's important to use this to your advantage.
Check out some screens of the stage below.

The gaming world kept turning during our downtime last week, and this, unfortunately, forced you guys to miss some really cool stories. Fortunately, we've compiled what we missed here in this post.
Two from Rockstar: Rockstar Games is apparently making things up to Nintendo after the Manhunt 2 debacle, and will be bringing two of their company's most popular titles for the Wii. Both Rockstar Games Presents Table Tennis (previously released on the Xbox 360) and Bully (previously released on PS2) will be coming Nintendo's way, with new Wii Remote motion controls.
More Tales to be Told: Namco Bandai's popular Tales RPG series will be seeing two new installments hitting the Wii and DS at the end of this year and into the next. First off is Tales of Innocence, set for release on the DS. No word on a US release yet, but since we haven't even seen the first Tales game for the DS (Tales of the Tempest), we probably won't be seeing Innocence for quite some time.
The second Tales game announced should make GameCube RPG fans very happy: it's a direct sequel to the ultra-popular Tales of Symphonia, exclusively for Wii. Called Tales of Symphonia: Knights of Ratatoskr, the game will pick up where Symphonia left off with new characters, improved visuals, and Wii Remote controls. Also, characters from the first game such as Lloyd will make appearances.
Medal of Honor Becomes Heroes of Wii: Reggie touched on the game a tad at Nintendo's E3 press conference, but EA has officially confirmed that Medal of Honor Heroes 2, a sequel to last year's PSP title, is coming to the Wii. Along with a vast single-player campaign, the game will also have 32-player online capability. Also, the Wii Zapper attachment will be fully supported, with a new on-rails mode exclusive to the console.
Puzzle Questing on Wii: One of the year's surprise DS hits has been Puzzle Quest, a unique puzzle game/RPG hybrid from D3Publisher. Now, the company is bringing the game to the DS's big brother, as Puzzle Quest for Wii promises to add some new Wii Remote action to what was already a fun concept. The game will be out later this year.
CSI Comes to Wii: The most-watched show on TV is about to come to the most-purchased next-gen console, as Ubisoft will be bringing the hit CBS drama CSI: Crime Scene Investigation to the Wii with CSI: Hard Evidence. Based upon the original Las Vegas show, players will be able to use the Wii Remote as a variety of tools, trying to solve one of 5 different cases. The game is due out this fall.
Game Critics Awards Nominations Announced: The Game Critics Awards, yearly awards given by journalists for the best that E3 had to offer, have announced their nominations, and Nintendo certainly earned their fair share. In all, the company got 8 nods as a publisher, while Wii games (first and third-party) got 14 nominations, and DS games picked up another two. Some highlights include Wii Fit getting nods for Best Original Game and Best Social/Casual/Puzzle Game, Super Mario Galaxy getting nominated for Best Console Game and Best Action/Adventure Game, The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass being nominated for Best Handheld Game, Metroid Prime 3 Corruption getting a nod for Best Action Game, and both the Wii Balance Board and Wii Zapper getting nominated for Best Hardware. For a full list of nominations, click here. The winners will be announced on July 31st.

Like Carl said, our server has been on the fritz for a few days, so we haven't been able to post any updates from over at the official Super Smash Bros. Brawl website. However, since we're so awesome, we were able to compile the updates from the last few days into one tidy little post for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy.
Samus's Final Smash: Samus's Final Smash finishing attack will be the devastating Zero Laser, which fires a massive beam attack from her arm cannon, racking up massive damage on her opponents. However, the blast's tremendous recoil is enough to rip her armor from her body, transforming her into Zero Suit Samus. It's not all bad, however, as other players will be able to pick up the pieces of Samus's armor and chuck them at each other.
Zero Suit Samus: Some small details were revealed about Samus's Zero Suit form, such as that her Paralyzer whip will have great reach, and she also has immense speed.
This World...: This was a weird one. In a mysterious post, we got what apparently look like screenshots of the game's opening FMV, and it's looking like Brawl may be the first Smash Bros. game with an actual story to it. It looks like Meta Knight will play a large role (as his ship appears), as will a mysterious brand-new character.
Rumble Falls: Donkey Kong's stage will be based upon Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, and will be constantly scrolling upward to keep players climbing and on their toes. The stage apparently will have an ending, however, but it's up to players to last that long to find it.
Yoshi: Last, but certainly not least (and not exactly unexpectedly), everyone's favorite green dino will be returning to action in Brawl. Yoshi's Up Special, the Egg Toss, can now be used as a third jump - erasing what many considered to be a huge problem with his Melee incarnation.
For a host of screens and art, get to clicking below.

Nintendo: We Rule the Proverbial School [ Nintendo ]
|

Bit Late, but Here's the VC Update [ Nintendo ]
|
Ok, so we've been having some technical issues lately, which basically meant we couldn't post anything. Whoops. In case you didn't get it elsewhere (and if you did, shame on you) here's this weeks Virtual Console update.
Kirby's Dream Course (Super NES, 1-2 players, Rated E for Everyone, 800 Wii Points): Step up to the tee for the wackiest golf game of your life. This one- or two-player game features a floating golf course in the sky. High above Dream Land, players can pitch and putt the ever-popular puff ball, Kirby, through a maze of three-dimensional obstacles on a zany checkerboard course. Players must aim for the multitude of enemies that are spread throughout each fairway. Kirby must hit all the enemies to make them disappear, and the last one becomes the hole. Sink Kirby into the hole to advance to the next stage and clear all 8 courses – 64 holes in all.
Devil's Crush (TurboGrafx16, 1-2 players, Rated E for Everyone – Animated Blood, Mild Fantasy Violence, 600 Wii Points): Devil's Crush is the exciting sequel to the hit pinball game Alien Crush and features even smoother ball movement and enhanced special effects. Shoot the ball onto the board with the Devil Shooter, then use flippers and nudging to keep it in play and rack up a high score. Complete certain conditions to play up to six different bonus stages. Get a "Perfect Clear" on those to earn a huge amount of points. The game's ominous theme is enhanced by its enemies: wandering skeleton knights, sorcerers and even a giant face that changes from a goddess to a sinister serpent.
Shining Force (Sega Genesis, 1 player, Rated E for Everyone – Mild Fantasy Violence, 800 Wii Points): In ages long forgotten, Light fought Darkness for control of the world. Finally, the Ancients defeated the evil ruler of the dark forces known as Dark Dragon and cast him into another dimension, though he vowed to return in 1,000 years. As time passed, all memory of Dark Dragon was buried, and the land of Rune enjoyed 10 centuries of peace. Yet, as promised, the dark ruler returned, along with hordes of evil creatures that ravaged the land. As chaos erupted, several strongholds of Good still held out, awaiting a hero who could wield the Powers of Light.

We've got a couple of new updates from the official Super Smash Bros. Brawl website to report on. The first is a brand-new song from the game, inspired by the Star Fox series, called "Star Fox: Space Armada". The song was composed by Hajime Hirasawa and arranged by Kenji Ito. The song certainly has a resemblance to classic Star Fox music, but maintain a style all its own. You can give the track a sneak peak by clicking the source link.
Second, another Pokémon that will randomly pop out of the game's Pokéball item was revealed. This time it's Deoxys, the DNA-based legendary Pokémon with immense power. When activated, Deoxys will fly into the air and unleash his massive Hyper Beam attack, sending anything and everything in its way flying. Needless to say, it's something to watch out for.
Check out some art and new screens of Deoxys in action below.

Players control numerous old and new characters in a complex, nonlinear story that follows different scenarios depending on player choices.

Balloon Fight (NES, 1-2 players, Rated E for Everyone, 500 Wii Points): Control a character to pop your opponents' balloons before they pop yours. Sounds easy, doesn't it? Don't be fooled by this game's simple premise or cute exterior. Underneath you'll find a surprisingly addictive game with strategy to spare. After mastering the easy-to-learn controls, you still have to get a grip on the game's impressively realistic physics. And if that's not enough, there are the ever-increasing enemies and environmental hazards like lightning and water.

Assigned to inspect an unmanned space station, you have exactly 100 minutes to get in, destroy the monsters lurking in each block, make your way to the lowest level and deactivate the automatic detonator placed there. With each monster that slips by you, the core block becomes harder to survive in, so speed is key in preserving the facility and each separate block. Experience the thrill of survival as the timer ticks away and you uncover the truth of the events that occurred.
