Tony Hawk + Wii Balance Board = Win?
It seems like a pretty logical, and at the same time awesome idea. What has been flying around the net is that the upcoming game Wii Fit’s Balance Board peripheral could be used as a virtual skateboard for Tony Hawk games! It’d definitely be a welcome innovation for the series, and may be its true revival.

A recent spring in Hong Kong has resulted in over 10,000 chipped Wii’s being seized. As they are illegal (breaking copyright laws) Nintendo has stopped a global distribution operation run by a company called Supreme Factory Limited, involving game copying devices and modification chips that violate its copyrights and trademarks of both its Nintendo DS and Wii systems, the company has announced.

Sega has today announced Sega Superstar Tennis, a tennis game featuring 15 Sega characters from various Sega franchises. The game is being developed by Semo Digital, and will feature characters from classic Sega franchises such as Ulala of Space Channel 5, and Sonic the Hedgehog among many others.
Yes it has. Today, a little earlier than expected, Capcom Gamers’ Day 07 released firm news of Okami for Wii, and a confirmation video to top it all off too. (Video inside.)
Kieren Perkins, that is. Good ol’ Kieren has teamed up with the Nintendo once again, this time around for advertising not his brain, but his brawn with the latest Nintendo ad for Wii Sports. The ad will lauunch on Sunday, with sporting great James Tomkins battling it out with Kieren in a game of bowling. First exclusive screens inside.

Late last month Nintendo confirmed most of its Q4 line up, with December being notably empty. Today we have learned the dates for a few big games slated in for release in December. We should probably say date though, as all releases are due to come out on December 13, which is actually a bit stupid. All proposed releases inside.
