In a recent interview President of Nintendo of America Reggie Fils-Amie said that he believed that “there certainly will be more games launched for the Wii.” Adding, “We believe there are still millions more systems to be sold.” While most gamers and journalist blew this comment off as pandering PR speak it seems that there was some truth to those words as we can now confirm that Nintendo will be bringing the long awaited Xenoblade Chronicles to North America this upcoming April.
Nintendo confirms that the remaining 10 GBA titles promised to gamers will be available before year's end.
Back when Nintendo shocked the gaming community by slashing the price of the 3DS from $250 to $170 they announced an initiative called the Ambassador Program to compensate/reward early adopters who had shelled out the higher price when the handheld was released just a short time prior.

One of the locales from Arkham Asylum will return to Arkham City.
Batman: Arkham City is chock full of content and the DLC has already included other heroes from the Batman universe; however, it is still missing one element that was present in the last title - the Batcave. While Arkham Asylum didn't feature the original Batcave, it was a Batcave nonetheless.
