Goin' out on a high note.
In just a few months, Nintendo's Wii U will push aside the Wii from store shelves, its memory will begin to fade from our gaming consciousness, and that little blue light will shine no more. With one last epic RPG The Last Story coming out this week, it's not a bad way to die.
Pre-orders are rewarded with some pretty sweet swag to boot!

Publisher Xseed announced yesterday that the final, official release date for Mistwalker’s Wii RPG is August 14, 2012, and also revealed some additional bonuses for those who preorder the game at participating retailers.

A few years ago, Cosmic Walker made a short blip on the Wii release radar. A brief video clip, three screen shots, a few details a few months later, and that's the last we heard about it. According to IGN, the game would've starred an astronaut who travels between space stations and the moon performing various tasks, and bore a resemblance to Endless Ocean -- and that's still all we know about it. Development was likely scrapped long ago, but why not try to imagine what it would play like on Wii U? A sandbox game in space would really rock it, man.
The King of Pop may be invading European Wiis soon.
Rating Boards are typically a great source for new information. With digitally released games, they tend to list rating data well ahead of any official announcement. Just last week, the German Rating Board revealed that Phoenix Wright would be coming to WiiWare. It appears PEGI have done the same this week, but instead it is Michael Jackson's Moonwalker that will see Wii release.
