I have to say Jason Vandenberghe, Red Steel 2 creator, is one of the nicest guys in the video game world, right next to the High Voltage guys. I spent some time talking with Jason at E3 last year. I have to say it was a delight. Plus he walks around with an awesome cane!

Each week Nintendo UK puts on a news feature for the Nintendo channel in UK. This past week’s feature has a section entitled, “Wii games to look forward to in 2010.” It just so happens that Zelda Wii is mentioned in this list.
