It was on this day in 1889 that a playing card company opened up in Kyoto, Japan, headed up by Fusajiro Yamauchi. Its name was the Nintendo Playing Card Company – catchy, right? – that went on to become one of the world's biggest entertainment companies.
From the makers of Target Toss Pro: Bags
The Wii has played host to countless sports games since the days of Wii Sports, with everything from cricket to compendiums, but WiiWare's about to receive one of the more unusual sporting outings in the form of Target Toss Pro: Lawn Darts.
Whilst this week's update may not quite match last week's in terms of Move content overload, it does bring some brand new additions to the discerning Move gamer's options in the form of (nearly) chart-conquering title Sports Champions.
Room for one more puzzle game
DSiWare is a pretty crowded place for puzzle games, so the announcement of one more is generally met with more than a little world-weariness. When the team behind the announcement is Two Tribes, the studio responsible for Rubik's Puzzle Galaxy: RUSH and Toki Tori, you might be a bit more inclined to show interest.
Not just WiiWare
Just last week we brought you news about Airport Mania: First Flight's approach to WiiWare, and now we can bring you confirmation the title is also on its way to DSiWare.
Get your minds in the gutter
We covered the announcement of High Velocity Bowling's transition to the world of Blu-ray releases, and now the game's on its way to retailers across North America with Move and 3D support built-in.
E-motion and drama combine
Heavy Rain: Move Edition is out on disc in October, but if you already own the game you can pick up a free Move-enabling patch from the PlayStation Network.
Tiger gets to Move on the fairway
He may have had his ups and downs in the past twelve months, but Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 is definitely on an upswing now the Move-enabling patch has gone live for free.
Some strong contenders
Hyperkin's Sporting Victory accessories were squarely aimed at those gamers who wanted a bit of Sports Champions action on the Move, but that's not to say there's a huge wealth of as-yet untapped peripheral possibilities. Rival accessory manufacturer Eagle3 has zeroed in on some of the possibilities with a new range of snap-on add-ons, varying from the beautiful to the baffling.
Over in the States, the Move Starter Pack comes with a game, Sports Champions. What if you were after something a bit... well, a bit furrier, really? That's where Toys 'R' Us is coming to the rescue, with an exclusive EyePet: Move Edition bundle on the way.
