lol. It's like the fall conference last year, tons of Nintendo news outta nowhere.

Nintendo's weird like that. The under-represent at like every trade show (E3, GDS, etc), if they show up at all (*cough*TGS*cough**) and then BAM when you least expect it they'll puke a metric shitton of AWESOME all over us. Oh Nintendo.

I like it when Nintendo aims up-market. I enjoy down-market titles too, but I have a special place in my heart for their titles aimed at folks like me.

I thought Other M was being made by a third party...

It's a collaboration between Nintendo and Team Ninja, who I think are owned by Tecmo.

I dont know..."Industry leading" may be pushing it but yeah, they are doing ok. 2-3 games to look forward to for most people.

Industry-leading? sales yes. Tech, no. not for me. Fair play to em though

It seems like instead of getting back the old NES/SNES franchises that got snagged by Sony, new franchises are born on Wii to take their place.

Oh we are going to have an interesting podcast

Nintendo SPD and Team Ninja more specifically.  Basically, the guys behind Metroid 1-4 are also behind Other M.

Also, it's most likely the Team Ninja group behind DOA3-4 / Ninja Gaiden 1-2 (Team Kunai), given their development cycles.

Don't forget about another RPG which is Dragon Quest X :D all 3 of these RPG's will do a world of good for Wii in the land of the rising sun.
