New Pokemon Game on its Way?

It never ends does it? Not that it's bad, heh. Everyone's gotta love Pokemon still! In a recent sneek peek in a Japanese Nintendo magazine, titled "Dengeki Nintendo," it's being rumored that the upcoming issue is going to have details on the latest and unnannounced Pokemon game. Nintendo 3DS bound? I think so!

We'll have more details when the actual issue gets released and translated, so come back!

Nintendo Confirms New Console to be Revealed at E3

Nintendo confirmed a bunch of the rumors that have been circulating around the internet. In an investor note released alongside the companies fiscal earnings for the year the company stated that it "has decided to launch in 2012 a system to succeed Wii." The note also states that they will "show a playable model of the new system and announce more specifications at the E3 Expo."

Rumors have been flying around about this new system. Everything from being as powerful (perhaps more so) as the Xbox 360, and the Playstation 3, to having a touch screen enabled controller, as well as a codename "Project Cafe." Nothing Nintendo has released at this point affirms these rumors though.

A lot more can be expected come E3 this June 7-9.

Nintendo DS Lite Has Been Discontinued?

Nintendo DS has been popular and always has been since it's first iteration back in 2004 and then with the wildly popular 2nd generation, the DS Lite. After that, the DSi became popular with it's use of the camera and DS Shop Channel along with the DSi XL, mainly for it's size. Sad thing to hear though since the DS Lite's life has come to a close.

In a GameStop memo sent in to the website GoNintendo from an anonymous employee, it states:

"New DS Lite systems have been discontinued and stores will no longer be replenished on this product. Once your store sells through its current stock of these units, please remove any corresponding DS Lite (Crimson, Black, and Metallic Rose) display boxes from the sales floor and discard."

Unfortunate, but it was expected to happen. With GameStop phasing out Gameboy Advance system and game trade-ins ever since the beginning of this month, with the addition of DSi a few years ago, and the fact that the 3DS is Nintendo's new baby, it had to happen sooner or later. Oh well...either way, it's time to upgrade, unless you just spent money on anything previous the 3DS for some odd reason.

Wii Play: Motion Coming June 13th

With the announcement of all things Nintendo recently, there's more, including this one for the good 'ol Nintendo Wii. Wii Play Motion, the sequel to the original Wii Play will be coming to the Wii on June 13th. Much like the original, Wii Play will have its own set of mini-games on disc; 12 I might add and will also include a Wii Remote. Obviously with "Motion" being in the title, it'll include the Wii Remote Plus since the MotionPlus is now obsolete.

Nintendo Wii Price Drop Incoming - $149.99?

Since the whole rumor of the new Nintendo console that's supposedly HD, other rumors of price drop seem to be coming in! It was purely speculation before when reports started coming in from anonymous sources that Engadget had been receiving, but this one coming from a retail store seems to be real.

Coming from another anonymous source at a K-Mart, the Nintendo Wii is listed at a $149.99 price point and has been said to officially happen on May 15th. Seems like Nintendo already has enough money in their pockets and wants to get more Wii consoles out before this new HD system gets announced. Who know? Only time will tell...
