2009 SPECIAL PREVIEW!

TMNT, Fighting game on the Wii:

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles goes "Brawl" again with 4-player fighting goodness, also Raph got ate by a Croc, that's awesome!

The team making it worked on Brawl and former members from Team Ninja.

Stages will have cool gimmicks, like the crocodile.

Q&A with Noriaki Kazama, Cheif director at Game Arts.

They give us a map of one of the stages, You can fight just about anywhere, There's a sign that shocks you, a water holder that can be broken open and someone will slip on it. The city looks so great on the Wii, it doesn't even have Anti-Aliasing yet.

Designs look to be based off of the recent movie.

Taunts will be used, I love this game already.

Q&A with Chris Ferriter, producer, Ubisoft.

Lots of stages look to be present in the current build.

Wii MotionPlus:

Showing off the game it works with, including Red Steel 2.

Sonic and the Black Knight:

The same stuff we've been hearing, screens of Knuckles are shown in his character of "Sir Gawain"

Simanimals, it's looking good actually...

Dead Rising: Chop till you Drop:

Alot more Zombies are in than the last time we saw the game.

The Conduit, it's looking good, Might rent it someday.

Nintendo DSi:

The Control Pad, face buttons, and Start and Select buttons lie flatter against the surface than they do on the DS Lite, and they share the Nintendo DSi's new matte finish.

A Wireless indicator light has been added so you'll know exactly when your Wi-Fi connection is active.

The internal camera is used to snap photos of yourself; the bottom screen displays your mug to help set up the perfect shot.

The L and R Buttons let you take photos, as evidenced by the camera icons that now adorn them.

Any standard SD card can be inserted in the slot on the DSi to store music and downloadable games and apps.

The low-res cameras aren't meant for serious photography, but rather for goofy fun using built-in editing software.

The volume control has been moved from the bottom to the left side, and has been changed from a slider to a button.

The Power button has been moved from it's original position to the bottom, making it less likely to hit by accident, Tapping the button returns you to the main menu, and holding it powers down the handheld.

Since Nintendo DSi doesn't have a GBA slot, you'll still need a DS Lite to play GBA games and some DS peripherals.

The new main menu has a layout similar to Wii's channels, with plenty of slots for apps and games.

The speakers look different from before and sound a little better.

The Nintendo DSi sports a smooth matte finish that doesn't reflect light or smudge as easily as the DS Lite's glossy surface.
