I wonder what Wii Summit is? I hope it is a decent skiing/snowboarding game, that uses the Wii Balance Board.

Taken from the July issue:

There have been a TON of rumors about a Metroid movie and they have all been exciting, this one is no different. According to sources Micheal Bay, the guy who brought us movies like Transformers and the Island, will be the producing the Metroid Movie. With so many rumors flying around this movie. It is becoming hard for me to believe that one is not in the works.

We’ve heard some recent rumors of some new colors for the DS, and now we have confirmation from across the pond! The three new colors are Red, Ice Blue, and Lime Green.

Hopefully we’ll get confirmation of a Stateside release soon!

WiiFit:
-Video review from Matt’s house coming later this week. Enjoy Stalkers.
-No multi player mode of any kind.

-The mini-game in WiiFit is better than We Ski.

Konami Embargo is up Thursday, I think. Wording was a bit weird on that.
Platinum Games Madworld game is awesome and real.
No need to read this summary.

Summary Complete:

Lost Winds:
-Best of the Bunch (Launch Titles)
-Best art design then most retail games
-$10 Worth it.
-It is short. 3 hours, though you can get lost along the way.
-Its a Super Metroid presentation. You’re not told when you go into new levels.

Defend Your Castle:
-Matt, “Shallow”
-Jump in, Jump out Multiplayer. “It’s awesome, thats when the game is really fun”
-Debate if the graphics are good or bad. The intent is bad, but thats the point of the game and it works. Still gave it 3 or 4 for graphics, they are bad, but theres a charm to it. Feels like they could have done more, they just didn’t want to. Its stylized though, but its bad.

Every now and then a rumor comes along that makes complete sense in every way. The Wii saw the release of Warioware last year, but a sequel is not out of the question. A new Warioware game that utilizes the Balance Board would be a welcome addition to the minigames already designed around innovative uses for the Wii remote. Throw the Wii’s new Balance Board into the equation, and you have a recipe for fun!

Hopefully we’ll hear about all the Balance Board titles at this year’s E3.

Konami has updated their official product page, and have confirmed the rumors of the introduction of Lost In Blue on the Wii. The only info that we know so far is that the game will have 2 player support.
