Ok gamers, here is what we have been waiting for all night; new Smash Bros. Info!!!! Again, I personally apologize for any spelling/grammatical errors that may occur. Now on to the news (UPDATES TO COME):

It looks as though the updates will be coming in the morning for me. It is now 1am where I live and I need to get some rest. I will set my clock and wake up a little earlier and report (hopefully) the good news!

Update: Well the site has updated but we didn’t get anything new. Usually I am pretty positive but honestly I have to say that I am pretty disappointed. All we really got was just a “site update”…….and that’s it. No new news, no release, nothing. You can click here and check out some new screens of the title. Enjoy.

Soon Gamers!

Apparently Nintendo Power has a small article announcing Geometry Wars Galaxies on The Wii and DS.

It?s being handled by the developers of Battalion Wars, and will feature an extensive single-player game. Wii version will use the motion control, and DS will use the touch control. This game is exclusive to these platforms (?for now). Each version will feature a multiplayer mode. Both Versions from Retro Evolved will be included.

Thank you Nintendo!

Paris, FRANCE ? May 21, 2007 ? Today Ubisoft, one of the world?s largest video game publishers, announced that it is expanding its casual video game business. Ubisoft has made significant investments and formed an internal development structure dedicated to the creation of games for everyone. Among the first projects of the new team are the introduction of the new ?My Coach? product line and the significant expansion of the already successful Petz? franchise.

?Ubisoft has a proven track record of publishing and creating video games for non-traditional gaming audiences, with multimillion-selling brands like Petz and Rayman,? said Yves Guillemot, chief executive officer at Ubisoft. ?The timing is right for us to leverage our creativity and to open up the video games market to new consumers who will be attracted by content that can help them learn, grow and feel better in an entertaining way.?

The ?My Coach? series of games will allow players to improve themselves and learn in an interactive and stimulating way. The first two games in the line are ?My Word Coach? and ?My Life Coach.? ?My Word Coach,? is being developed in collaboration with linguists and will help players improve their verbal communication and vocabulary in a fun way. ?My Word Coach? can be played alone or with friends on Wii? and Nintendo DS? and will be released in Fall 2007. ?My Life Coach? is being developed in collaboration with a behaviorist. ?My Life Coach? is a personal coach that gives anybody concerned about their well being the willpower they need to change their habits the way they want in a motivating and fun way. ?My Life Coach? will be available for the Nintendo DS in Holiday 2007.

Ubisoft will also continue to grow its extremely successful Petz? line of games and allow young players to learn how to take care of that special cat, dog or horse on their Wii for the first time. The Petz series sold more than 3.5 million units worldwide in fiscal year 2006-07.

A Preemptive Apology…

I am already extending my sincere condolences for today’s stories. Today gamers we will be finding out more about the elusive Super Smash Bros. for the Nintendo Wii and I already know that there will be grammatical errors a plenty come later on today.

My job is to bring you all of the news at break neck speeds and I feel that you guys deserve all of that and as a result my spelling/grammar may suffer. No fears though as I will do my best to use my knowledge of the English language to the best of my ability.

Cheers gamers- it’s going to be a great day! What news do you hope to hear today?
