There's some updated news on Lost in Blue 2, including gameplay details. Notably, players can choose to navigate the game as either the male or female character, and Jack and Amy each have their own unique skills. Previously, we thought the setup was similar to the original Lost in Blue, with the girl serving as an unplayable character (at least, until you beat it once). Also, the sequel will feature a limited two-player mode via local wireless, in which players can compete in survival mini-games. We're hoping for things like "Outrun the Croc" so we can watch our pals brutally eaten. That's just good, clean fun.
Once again, the touch screen and microphone will be a big part of the game, but Konami promises to expand on touchscreen play for a more immersive and interesting experience. Let's hope for less drudgery and more fun.

Double Z has updated his site with this news:
I've updated tutorial one to work with the most recent devkitPro release. I've also moved it to using the standard devkitPro makefiles which should make it much easier to track devkitPro changes. I'm working on updating the other tutorials.

Turns out Driver: Parallel Lines is going to receive an enhanced port to the Wii, complete with updated graphics and gameplay changes. The game will take place during the late seventies, yet upon being imprisoned for 28 years, you're released to a new decade. Game features will include:
Open New York City: 35 missions spanning the years 1978 - 2006
There is to be over 30 different actions for the Wiimote, including driving and targeting
Features over 80 customizable vehicles such as cars, trucks and motorcycles
Upgrades have been made to the AI, graphics, physics and an as-yet-unannounced Wii exclusive special effect
The game didn't receive favorable scores on the PS2 or Xbox, so do you think some extra time being polished for the Wii will make a difference?

These Miis from NBC's The Office just look freakishly identical. Especially Dwight, Jim (right of Dwight), Kevin, and Roy. Oscar's pretty good too. Amazingly, D. Schrute looks just as intimidating in Mii form as he does in real fictional life. Scary.

Nintendo has refuted claims that it failed to deliver the number of Wii units promised to Virgin Megastores for the console's launch on December 8.
The claims emerged after Virgin began taking pre-orders for PlayStation 3 last week. As GamesIndustry.biz discovered after contacting stores across the country, customers enquiring about the pre-order system are told that they can secure a console for GBP 50 - but are warned that they won't neccessarily receive their machine on March 23.
They're told that they may have to wait days or even weeks for their machine to arrive, with one customer service representative stating, "We can't make a commitment to the 23rd because Sony hasn't made a commitment to us."
All the representatives GI.biz spoke to said that Virgin was keen to avoid a repeat of the situation which occurred with the launch of the Wii, claiming that Nintendo failed to deliver the number of consoles promised for day one.
"It's because there was an issue with the Wii. Some stores didn't get the allocation they were promised until the next day after launch," one representative said.
Another claimed, "The full amount of stock we were promised never turned up," while other representatives said that the total launch allocation wasn't received until several weeks after launch.
Nintendo has disputed the claims with a spokesperson telling GI.biz, "All UK retailers were notified of their initial day one Wii allocations in October 2006, some six to eight weeks before launch.
"Nintendo delivered exactly what we said we would to retailers for day one and in many instances over delivered against the initial numbers retailers were expecting."
In addition, the spokesperson said, "Nintendo made multiple and regular deliveries to retailers across the UK in the days following launch to try and meet the huge demand for Wii as much as possible."
Virgin Megastores has yet to respond to requests for comment.

What's a Wii fanboy to do without a Wii to call his own? Hack one up himself, of course. Bigjohn8411 found himself in just such a predicament, so he scraped together a "Wii OS" launcher program for his PC just to feel like one of the cool kids. Other than accepting Wiimote input over Bluetooth via GlovePIE, the program is mostly a complete rip of Nintendo's own Wii interface, with Wii sound effects pulled out of YouTube videos, and the interface built from scratch, but referencing the real thing. Of course, that Red Steel button, it does nothing, but most of the rest of the launcher buttons shoot you right into that game's respective emulator. You can also toss in up to four of your own MP3s for background music if you find Nintendo's own to be a bit too sleep inducing. Now the only question is if Nintendo will be launching Chrono Trigger for Virtual Console before it hits this guy with a C&D. Somehow, we doubt it.

An article from CVG that doesnt look good for us wii owners:
Epic VP Mark Rein has been speaking to Wired News about the success of the Unreal Engine 3, especially since the firm recently licensed it to a Japanese developer for the first time.
Here are the highlights from the interview:
It's also tough to ignore the success of the Wii at this point. Do you guys have any plans to be in that space?
Rein:: Hey, we're in that space! Red Steel, Splinter Cell -- those use our previous engine technology. But it's not in our plans to bring Unreal Engine 3 to the Wii. It's really designed for next-gen, high-definition.
It can't be easy to get Japanese developers on board, because they traditionally use their own engines.
Rein: It's definitely a challenge to convince Japanese developers to work with a third-party technology like ours. But Square Enix, they're the granddaddy. I'm hoping that'll be pulling the stopper out of the drain, and we'll gradually crack that nut. We've been looking to hire somebody in Japan, to be our representative there.
It's really hard to find somebody who speaks really good English, knows our technology well, is native Japanese, has an engineering background, can answer complex questions. We're looking; the job's open.
You obviously love the Xbox 360. Do you love the PlayStation 3?
Rein: Yeah, absolutely. I think they're both great machines. I don't understand all this crazy negative backlash toward PlayStation 3. It's like, people aren't happy that there aren't enough machines, and then they're not happy that there are? Get over it! You want to be able to buy the damn thing!

The latest Wii Virtual Console update has just hit in the US with a surprise for lucky yank gamers; Mario's stellar Super NES outing Super Mario World along with a pair of token downloads for Mega Drive and Turbo Grafx.
Mario's 16-bit adventure is available stateside for the usual price of 800 Wii points. Meanwhile, Turbo Grafx bruiser Vigilante is up for 600 points and Genesis effort Gain Ground for 800, neither of which we remember.
Hopefully this will pave a path for a massive UK VC update this Friday, as the US now has two SNES classics (Zelda: A Link to the Past being the other) that us poor Europeans have been deprived of. We'll have our fingers crossed.

Wii owners could have more Wii Remote-operated swordplay to look forward to with blade-ninja Zorro making his debut Wii appearance in The Destiny of Zorro.
Pronto Games say the game will focus on being "instantly engaging" and fun. The developer also says: "The visuals are high quality, as are the audio and storyline." Yes, that would be nice.
Other than that massively insightful statement, no further gameplay details have been announced. We speculate you'll be swinging the Wii Remote in some sword-like fashion.
Zorro will do battle against a dual-sword-weilding skeleton bloke known as Calavero, pictured below.
Pronto games previously developed titles for mobile phones and handheld consoles (including Dungeons and Dragons: Eye of the Beholder for GBA).
The Destiny of Zorro is due to release this Christmas. With good visuals. And good audio. Oh... and a good storyline.

The team behind Eledees, one of the most unique titles on Wii, is working on its second title for Wii - a tilty 3D adventure tentatively titled Dewy's Adventure.
Just like Eledees, Dewy's Adventure is a weird one. You play as Dewy, a magical water droplet with the ability to control the elements.
In its fairytale plot, a once peaceful land has been wrecked by an evil force. A sacred tree (ANOTHER sacred tree, should we say) called the Elder Tree creates Dewy to with the hope he can return peace to the land.
We'd have created an army of Jedi, or Arnold Schwarzenegger, but we clearly don't think like sacred trees.
The game will take advantage of the Wii Remote to tilt environments to control Dewy, creating inclines in the ground for Dewy to move through. Could be interesting.

According to a listing on the ESRB website, Capcom's 16-bit classic Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts is heading to all three next-gen consoles.
We're assuming that the rock-hard platformer will be appearing in the form of a download on Xbox 360, Wii and PS3's respective online services, with the Xbox Live Arcade version likely featuring the fancy leaderboards and high-definition mischief we're used to on the service.
Capcom was unfortunately unavailable to comment on the report when we picked up the phone, but we'll be sure to let you know if it decides to throw some confirmation our way.
