Latest Wii, Nintendo DS, Game Boy, and GameCube news, screenshots, and game previews

John Riccitiello, CEO of Electronic Arts, today announced that Dead Space, previously released last year on the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC, is headed to the Wii this year. Based on past interviews, many speculate the game will incorporate Wii MotionPlus.

We’re bringing core intellectual properties and franchises in categories we think have legs on the Wii platform. A good example of this is Dead Space. We’re bringing a Wii title to the market this year and it is absolutely going to be the quality and fear factor that you got on the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC SKUs this past year.

Ubisoft president Yves Guillemot today announced several new games for the 2009/2010 fiscal year and also mentioned “that Ubisoft is indeed working on a MotionPlus-sporting Red Steel 2, but declined to discuss any details about the game.” If all goes according to plan, expect to see Red Steel 2 on the Wii before March 2010.

Sequel to the very successful Mario & Sonic at the Olympics for the Wii, Mario & Sonic at the Winter Olympics was hinted at by a Spanish Nintendo magazine and confirmed by sources talking to IGN.

IGN’s done a little digging, though, and has independently confirmed that the game is in development and set to be announced in the next month — which, by the way, really isn’t hard to believe given the astronomical sales figures for the first title in the franchise.

Look out for more coverage on the sequel when it’s officially unveiled. Until, let the speculation wars rage on about which winter games will and won’t make the cut, and just as importantly, whether the title will support Wii MotionPlus, as we all hope it will.
