Updated game info page says Wii and 3DS is "to be considered"
The Wii excels when it comes to 3D platform games, but it's certainly no slouch in the side-scrolling department. With a healthy back catalogue including Klonoa, New Super Mario Bros. Wii and A Boy and His Blob, as well as upcoming treats Kirby's Epic Yarn and Donkey Kong Country Returns the machine has arguably one of the best platform line-ups in history, and that's even without including Virtual Console. So when Ubisoft announced Rayman Origins, its spectacular new outing for the limbless hero, and the Wii was not among the list of consoles receiving the title there was much grumbling and gnashing of teeth. Don't grind those molars down to a fine powder just yet though, as the game's fate is still up in the air.Date archives for July, 2010

Miyamoto Brought Coat Hangers to his Job Interview
19:45 at nintendolife.com
Makes perfect sense
We know that Shigeru Miyamoto likes to do things his own way, and it's safe to say that's got him quite far in this business. Judging from how he approached his first interview at Nintendo, you may be surprised he even got a foot in the door.
