Japanese Nintendo News | Capcom Wii Exclusive, New DS Gundam & More...

The latest batch of news from Famitsu magazine in Japan has been uncovered showing lots of DS updates, plus an exclusive Wii adventure from Capcom! First up is news that Bandai Namco is bringing a new DS SRPG to the market on 31st May under the name of SD Gundam G Generation Cross Drive. The first scan of the game can be seen here. Next is confirmation that Koei's Opoona (reported on here) will hit Japan during the summer of this year. In addition, Sega is bringing a third Mushiking title to the DS 'Mushiking Super Collection', which will include a card reader so players can actually use their card collection in the game, rather like the company tried with Love and Berry Collection.

Finally, the big revelation is that Capcom has an exclusive Wii project underway called 'Treasure Island Z'. It is an adventure game with puzzle solving included and so far appears to be just what fans of Monkey Island et al have been waiting for as you need to use the Wii controller to help the lead character (a trainee pirate) to solve the puzzles you meet along the way on your quest to find treasure. The game is being directed by Eiichirou Sasaki of biohazard Outbreak 1 and 2 fame, produced by Hironobu Takeshita and has a distinctly 'cute' appearance to it.

As well as all that, a new list of forthcoming random DS games has been revealed:
