OBJECTION… wait, scratch that.

Today Capcom held their annual Gamer day in San Francisco. As usual they took the time to announce several titles for the upcoming year, along with other big announcements. Amongst the announcements was Lost Planet going to the PC, a Harvey Birdman game for the PSP, and the official announcement of the third Gyakuten Saiban game(AKA Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney) being released in america under the title Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney- Trials and Tribulation.

Much more was announced, but I gotta say these Attorney games are what really caught my attention. I loved the original Phoenix Wright, along with the sequel, and Harvey Birdman’s just beyond awesome. I just hope that Harvey Birdman ends up being a more adult Phoenix Wright instead of some boring Platformer or something of that nature.

A few more big announcements from Gamer Day 2007.

Resident Evil 4 Wii

Sega finally figured out what fans want. Retro classics.

Okay, this may just be a rumor for right now, but according to the gaming rumor site Rumor Reporter we’ll be seeing a big Sega announcement later today concerning certain Sega related titles for the Wii. The article says that DK: Bongo Blast won’t be the only Wii game you’ll be shaking to. Now think about it, Sega, motion controlled titles, Bongo Blast(a partial rhythm based game), SHAKING. This points to one classic Sega title, SAMBA DE AMIGO!

It’s times like this that I remember why I bought a Wii. First Sega brings back NiGHTS Into Dreams, then rumors say that they’ll be bringing back one of the best peripheral based rhythm games. If they keep this up Sega will no longer have to release crappy Sonic titles.

Please let this be true and give me a reason to keep my Wii.
