This game looks much more exciting when a ‘hot’ Nintendo employee beats the crap out of someone.

Most content has been removed now, but you can still check out the Neo GAF thread.

A new image? A nameless emailer sent us this with no description. We assume to be part of the ‘TMNT GBA” release. Has anyone seen it before?

Our final TGS posting for now, Tales of the Tempest video preview.

Another TGS 06 Floor Presentation, this time of Super Swing Golf Pangya. In Japanese [surprisingly], but worth watching to see some straight gameplay.

The Japanese love pokemon. But do they relly love them this much? 4 color rebellion has posted

‘According to a couple of sources, all two million copies of the two games sold out. Nintendo has also supposedly sold 500,000 DS Lite systems, including the special Pokemon edition of the system.’

As they say, if this is true, next weeks Japanese sales charts are going to be insane.

Electronic Arts (NASDAQ:ERTS) today announced that Madden NFL 07, the EA SPORTS™ best-selling football franchise with the exclusive videogame license of the NFL and PLAYERS INC, and Need for Speed™ Carbon, the latest iteration in the world’s most popular street racing franchise will be available with the Wii launch on November 19, 2006.

“Both Madden NFL 07 and Need For Speed Carbon were able to really bring out the innovation in the new FreeMotion Controller on the Wii and will attract a whole new sector of gamers,” said John Schappert, Senior Vice President and General Manager, EA Canada. “We are honored to be a part of the launch of this new exciting platform and are inspired by the new creative ideas it will let us explore.”

With the launch on the Wii, Madden NFL 07 takes advantage of the revolutionary controller design and all-new Madden FreeMotion™ controls to create a new controller-focused experience, bringing Madden’s gameplay depth alive in a whole new and immersive way. Key Wii-only features for Madden NFL 07 include exclusive multiplayer mini games designed to support four player gameplay, new multiplayer enhancements including a multiplayer sprint, new play calling system designed for basic football fan knowledge, and Madden in-game tutorials that teach the users how to use new FreeMotion™ controls and allow users to practice within the game. Madden NFL 07 on Wii will also include the popular key features lead blocking control, NFL Superstar: Hall of Fame mode as well as all-new Highlight moves that allows you to run like the NFL players run.

In its 17th year and with more than 53 million copies sold life to date, Madden NFL Football continues to stand out as the most popular football videogame franchise of all time with a combination of innovative new features and the most authentic football gameplay. Madden NFL 07 for Wii is being developed by EA Canada and is not yet rated by the ESRB. For more information check out www.madden07.com.

The battle starts on the streets of Palmont city, but is won in the canyons as Need for Speed™ Carbon immerses you in the world’s most dangerous and adrenaline-filled forms of street racing. Need for Speed™ Carbon and the Wii introduce the world to a whole new way to play Need for Speed. Offering the classic Need for Speed controls and immersive gameplay experience, with the addition of the Wii’s unique Remote style controller scheme takes Need for Speed™ Carbon gameplay to levels previously not possible. A simple yet intuitive control scheme using the Wii Remote and Nunchuk, the player will instantly recognize and feel the physics differences between the 50 plus Muscle, Exotic, and Tuner cars, as they use their crew to win Canyon races, customize their cars using Autosculpt™, and battle to take control of the streets of Palmont.

“Sony Computer Entertainment president Ken Kutaragi was not ambivalent about the pricing of the console — he kept saying it was a premium machine, sold at a premium price. Want a PS3? Work a little harder…Even the Official Playstation Magazine had a bold cover headline that asked, “Is It Worth $600?”…Merrill Lynch estimated Sony would lose more than $1 billion in the console’s first year of existence. By comparison, Sony lost only $458 million during the first year the PS2 was available.”

Code Name Revolution has posted and interesting link to an article dicussing the PS3 and its apparent pending doom.

First of a series of TGS Floor videos, this one on our favourite topic, Mahjong! [DS]
