With Sony and Microsoft now busy making their marketing push for the holidays, you gotta wonder what Nintendo is planning to do about it, especially considering that we haven't heard from any of the Nintendo execs for a while now. Are they gonna slim the Wii down too and call it the Wee Wii? Good grief I sure hope not. For the news that did come out over the week, you can catch it all on this edition of the Nintendo Weekend Warrior.

He did not say "No." Let's be clear on that one. In an interview with Nintendo Power, Shigeru Miyamoto of Nintendo was asked whether or not a new Kid Icarus game will be coming to the Wii or the DS. His answer: after the jump.

After years of absence, the new Indiana Jones game is suddenly the next big thing from LucasArts, and will even grace the cover of next month's Nintendo Power. The studio has finally whipped out new details on the Staff of Kings after teasing us with their new trailer.

Details after the link.

A recent article on Nintendo Power magazine recently revealed some of the new features that the latest installment in the Grand Theft Auto series will be packing. Set to be released on the DS, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars will have all the trademark elements of the action-adventure sandbox series, as well as some new innovations adapted for use on the Nintendo handheld. More details in our full article after the jump.

Did you see the moon on Nintendo Power's latest issue? It looks like there are more clues within that issue other than the red moon, and it's in the reader questions page. It was mentioned in passing that a big third party title will be revealed next month and it's a "shocker." Check out the full article for more info.

It's now official that Trauma Center: Under the Knife 2 is in the pipeline, as even Famitsu has a feature on the surgical drama by Atlus. It's another blowout with a scan filled with details and screenshots of the much awaited sequel. You don't want to miss out if you own a Nintendo DS, so hit that jump!

No, this is not a joke. Trauma Center: Under the Knife 2 has been revealed, and Atlus wasn't shy of sharing details pertaining to the surgeon drama sequel for the Nintendo DS. Meanwhile, Square Enix unleashed screenshots of Final Fantasy IV's remake in English which pretty much confirm a western release. Hit that jump for more details!

Remember that shocking announcement of BioWare and Sega about developing a Sonic RPG on the Nintendo DS? As disarming it may be, it's no joke when the two industry giants said they'll put the blue hedgehog in an RPG. Nintendo Power has a feature on what Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood will be like, and you'll find details at the full article.

Scans for Square-Enix's Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days on the Nintendo DS have surfaced. This batch contains scans come from Nintendo Power and the second run of the Character Report.

Interesting to note is the misleading text in Belle's page where someone is quoted to have said: "But I will have back what's mine - The Black Pearl." Say what? Check out the scans to see for yourself.

The latest issue of Nintendo Power, which isn't in the magazine stands yet, was supposedly picked up by the guys from Nintendopedia. Of course, we all want to find out how the new games fared in the hands of Nintendo Power's editors (like Phantom Hourglass, for instance), so we decided to jump the gun and check out what Nintendopedia posted about this new Nintendo Power issue.

According to Nintendopedia, The Phantom Hourglass was able to snag a high 9.5 rating from Nintendo Power's review, while the high-paced Donkey Jet (or Donkey Kong: Barrel Blast) for the Wii clocked in at a low 6.5. The innovative gameplay presented by Drawn to Life for the DS managed to garner an average 7.5, however.

That's not all. This supposed new issue of Nintendo Power confirms the sequel of Dreamcast's rhythm title Samba de Amigo for the Wii. If it's true, then it'll be yet another great title for Nintendo's happy console: nothing can emulate playing the maracas better than the Wiimote and Nunchuck.

We sure do hope that the above news turns out to be true. If it does, you can be sure that we'll keep you posted. Till then, stay tuned!
