Okay, so Bungie wants to make a viral marketing thing to build hype for their game. But why is Kotaku playing along? Seriously.

Direct quote time. Iwata said: "Of course, I myself am aware that great numbers of game players around the world do demand increasingly gorgeous games. And we at Nintendo, continue to challenge ourselves to meet these needs. Today I want to let you know that our internal team which creates Mario games, and the one…

The Netflix downloadable videos aren't really that great right now. Of course eventually it'll have virtually everything.

I don't understand why everyone seems to be expecting a new Punch-out. There was already boxing in Wii Sports. Has there been anything to suggest a Punch-Out game is in the works? I'd say Starfox is a heck of a lot more likely than Punchout, but everyone is convinced of Punch-out.

@JimElNino: His accent is fairly strong but he's rather adorable even if he doesn't get to make exciting announcements. It's usually just charts and the overall direction of the company. I enjoy the Iwata Asks interviews/lovefests.

@TheIrishNinja: Reggie was kinda funny last year. Mostly because he had nothing to do except gloat and try to make things like the Wii Wheel sound exciting.

This would be big news a few years ago, but nowadays Miyamoto and those folks come to every E3.

Is this the motion-sensing controller? Seriously I have no clue why they would spend the extra money to add motion-sensing functionality to the mics.

Versus is for the Wii of course. Just kidding, although that would almost make sense.

Funny how it's been like two years and I still feel like we're watching the same trailer.

@BeerLover: heh nice catch.

@jive238: I assume Nintendo is publishing the game as they did with Chibi-Robo, so that could plausibly be the real Birdo.

The fact that the video link broke before anyone had it backed up on Gametrailers or another site suddenly makes this my most anticipated Wii game. Now I'd like to see what I'm anticipating.

Heh heh, and don't forget Swords of Legendia for Wii, which is apparently still in production but also technically not a Tales game (I'm thinking like Dragon Quest Swords).

I noticed a few years ago that Doduo had a longer article than certain Kings of England. But they've since combined the articles on individual Pokemon into a list with about a paragraph on each. Certain Pokemon like Pikachu still get the first class treatment of an article each though. I haven't figured out why…

They've released so many Naruto games that they're really getting the hang of it. Imagine what they'll be like in a few years.

Awesome story. heh, I love Kotaku Stalku.

I like how about 10 of us found that site within 10 minutes. Too bad it's on the second page of comments.

Does this count as some sort of comfirmation? [www.square-enix.co.jp]

@SkutSkut: yeah, but don't they usually break again? Or was the problem ever really resolved?
