Indie games are definitely the way forward so it is good to see Nintendo really flexing their muscle in this department, some of the stuff shown looks very interesting as well.

New European Wii model loses GameCube compatibility

by JC Fletcher on Aug 17th 2011 9:45AM

It's officially a trend. One day after Sony introduced a cheaper, less functional PSP for Europe, Nintendo has announced a new "value Wii" for the region, though no price was given. The new Wii, according to Nintendo UK, is designed to sit horizontally instead of vertically (although the original Wii can technically do both, so we aren't sure what the distinction is). The other major alteration is the loss of GameCube backward compatibility -- both games and accessories.

This new model (we've dubbed it the "Wii Jr.") will be released sometime before Christmas, in a bundle with a Wii Remote Plus, Nunchuk, Wii Party and Wii Sports. Other bundles will also be forthcoming. Eurogamer posted the above picture, and also got word from Nintendo that the company will "focus on the new Wii Bundle/s going forward," suggesting it won't coexist with the current model. Bye, GameCube!

[PS3, X360] Catherine has managed to charm her way into getting a European release

[PS3, X360] Catherine has managed to charm her way into getting a European release

Catherine releases across America next week, but things had been quiet on the European front. Atlus teased at a European release but stated that a company hadn't stepped forward to take on the responsibility.

Luckily all of that has changed now. Germany's USK has published a classification for Catherine's European release. The rating is only up for the Xbox 360 version at this point, but that doesn't mean it won't release on PlayStation 3 as well.

The European release is being handled by Koch Media according to the USK, if they don't sound familiar then you might know their other label (Deep Silver). Deep Silver are responsible for the upcoming Dead Island.
