Nintendo News | Sonic in Smash Bros, Final Fantasy at WiiWare Launch, Monster Hunter 3 Wii, Fire Emblem DS & Much More!

Latest Update - Hudsonsoft has confirmed its line-up of WiiWare titles:

• Joysound (Karaoke) - Spring 2008;
• Star Soldier R (Shooter) - Spring 2008;
• Bomberman (Action) - Spring 2008.

Sonic has been confirmed for Super Smash Bros. Brawl (complete with a video clip of him turning into Super Sonic), although the game is now delayed until 24th January (possibly only in Japan)! A short video clip can be seen below [ thanks to Jump_button ]:

Also Monster Hunter 3 is coming to Wii thanks to Capcom, which is stunning news considering the two PSP games have cracked a million each. Below is the logo and first small screen [ click both to enlarge, as a bigger versions have now been released ]:

It was also mentioned that 7.8 million Virtual Console games have now been downloaded, plus the Square Enix WiiWare Crystal Chronicles RPG will sell for only 1,500 points and is to launch alongside WiiWare in March 2008. The game is a 'Country Building RPG', which sounds vaguely like ActRaiser from the SNES. Tsuchida-san (the Head of the Front Mission team) is producing it, while talent from the Front Mission Online group is involved, leading the directing side, as well as Tanioka Kumi on the music front (who worked on Final Fantasy XI). Finally, the Scenario Director is none other than Toriyama-san, who recently worked on Final Fantasy X, X-2, XII: Revenant Wings and is hard at work on XIII. A piece of promotional art can be seen below, plus the first small screen and its official website is here:

That seems to be the end of the announcements. So be sure to share your thoughts on all of this in the forum below!
