Nintendo, not content to wait for E3, decided to reveal a few first party Wario and Kirby titles today.
Campy side-scrolling adventure will be mine!
Nintendo decided to preempt next month's E3 Media & Business Summit today by announcing some new titles for the Wii and Nintendo DS.
First up is a new title starring Wario, called Wario Land: Shake It! The title will be a classic side-scrolling adventure for the Wii, and launches on September 29. A Nintendo press release said players will hold the Wiimote on its side, like an old school NES controller, with a little current gen motion-sensing thrown in, a la Paper Mario.
On the DS there will be another Kirby title, called Kirby Super Star, that will also launch on the 29th. The game is a "re-imagining" of the classic battle against King Dedede and Meta Knight, complete with fully rendered animated cutscenes and local wireless play, Nintendo said.
Lastly, there's Mystery Case Files: MillionHeir, launching Sept. 8, for the DS. In Case Files, players will "seek out cleverly hidden items in a multitude of painted scenes [and] progress through an interactive detective story investigating a cast of characters and uncovering new evidence to find the rightful heir to a million-dollar fortune."
The interactive logic puzzles will use both the touch-screen interface and built-in microphone, as well as a multiplayer mode.
Looks more like an SNES game than Wii title
More first party franchise games?! Here's hoping this is just Nintendo clearing out the stockroom to make room for the new characters and games they're rumored to be bringing to E3 next month.

I tried playing Smash Bros. with the Wiimote on it's side once for about 5 minutes and nearly got blisters because of the tiny + and - buttons that don't lie above the plastic. Hopefullly Nintendo doesn't make those action buttons for this game or alot of people won't be playing it very long.
