Posted by Stephen Johnson - Sunday, February 17, 2008 8:58 PM

Deadly Creatures, an original action thriller title, is coming exclusively to the Nintendo Wii in 2008.

Developed by THQ’s Rainbow Studios, Deadly Creatures throws players into a "venomous world of desert terror, where the greatest victory is survival."

Players will follow the entwined adventures of an armored scorpion and a stealthy tarantula as they struggle against a variety of creatures including vicious Gila monsters, tarantula wasps, black widows, and the most dangerous predator of all – Man.

So battle with insects, baby! Yeah! Sock it to me.

Nintendo Calls Out China, Korea, Brazil, Hong Kong, Paraguay, Mexico

Posted by Ty Colfax - Sunday, February 17, 2008 12:17 PM

Nintendo of America Inc. has asked the U.S. Trade Representative to encourage specific governments around the world to take a more aggressive stance to combat piracy of Nintendo video games and systems.

While China remains the primary source of manufacturing pirated Nintendo DS and Wii games, Korea has emerged as the leader in distributing illegal game files via the Internet. Despite aggressive anti-piracy actions taken by Nintendo, Brazil and Mexico remain saturated with counterfeit Nintendo software. Meanwhile, Paraguay and Hong Kong continue to serve as major transshipment points for global distribution of illegal goods.

"The unprecedented momentum enjoyed by Nintendo DS and Wii makes Nintendo an attractive target for counterfeiters," said Jodi Daugherty, Nintendo of America's senior director of anti-piracy. "We estimate that in 2007, Nintendo, together with its publishers and developers, suffered nearly $975 million USD worldwide in lost sales as a result of piracy. Nintendo will continue to work with governments around the world to aggressively curtail this illegal activity."
