As many know a game popped up recently on GameTrailers.com and even featured a home page Mass:WePray. The title was announced for the Wii on GameTrailers. Origionally I thought the trailer was so out to lunch it had to be fake but all over people were both confirming or denying the game. The website got hundreds of thousands of hits.

Well two days ago I contacted Nintendo Of America. Here is NOA's response

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello,

At this time, there are no plans to release the game you mentioned. More importantly, we do not have any information that tells us whether this game will or won’t be announced.

We often hear from excited fans asking if a particular game is going to be announced. I don’t want to dampen any excitement you feel about the game, but I want to make it clear that until Nintendo makes an official announcement of a particular game that there is nothing we have to share about it—regardless of any rumors you may have heard or announcements from Nintendo subsidiaries elsewhere in the world.

If or when we do make an official announcement about the game, we will share all the details on our website (www.nintendo.com). Until that happens, we appreciate your patience and ask that you continue checking the website.

Sincerely,

Nintendo of America Inc.

Anyways today the website said Pre-orders would begin. However when you clicked to pre-order the title, an add for EA's Dante's Inferno pops up. Not only does Dante's Inferno pop up but the title is set to come to the PS3/360/PSP and not on Wii/DS. Thats right EAGames created a big parody of the Nintendo Wii. Made the Wii look like a piece of junk and it turns out it was all a rouse to gain attention for Dante's Inferno!

EAGames made fun of Nintendo inadvertedly or purposely who knows. But in a way I'm actually glad Mass:WePray was a joke though I'm pretty peived that EA used Nintendo to gain media coverage.

See, i was thinking of that too. They basically used the one manufacturer that their game *isn't* coming out for to mock it.

I hope Nintendo publicly rebukes them over this. EA needs Wii now more than ever.

what's that EA? you lost hundreds of millions again?

aww...that's too bad! I'm sure Nintendo feels your pain while rolling in their billions, but unfortunately for you, they are not a charitable company.

EA mocks Nintendo, lol, who cares, Nintendo has big piles of cash, and EA doesn't

Its like the poor bum on the street mocking the billionaire

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)
