It&#39;s up to Kirby™ to get it back and ultimately save Pop Star from being overtaken. In what may be the most diverse adventure yet for the round, pink hero, Kirby journeys through six main games and two minigames, finishing with the ultimate showdown in The Arena. Each game offers its own story and style of platforming action, as well as unique environments and an assortment of enemies. Swallowing an enemy allows Kirby to copy the abilities of that enemy, granting him the power to perform special attacks and giving him a new hat to don. In a strategic twist, Kirby can now give up an acquired ability and use it to turn an enemy into a helper. The helper will follow Kirby around and automatically fight as his ally or offer a second player the chance to join in the game by controlling it. There&#39;s never a dull moment as Kirby dashes, flies and swallows enemies in his battle against King Dedede, Dyna Blade and Meta Knight.<BR><BR>Nintendo adds new titles to the Nintendo DSi Shop and the Wii Shop Channel at 9 a.m. Pacific time on Mondays.

<b>AHA AND NINTENDO JOIN FORCES TO PROMOTE HEALTHY LIVING THROUGH ACTIVE-PLAY VIDEO GAMES</b><br><br><span style="presssubtitle"><I>Consumers Motivated to &#39;Get Informed, Get Empowered, Get Active&#39;</I></span><br><br>NEW YORK, May 17, 2010 – The American Heart Association and Nintendo of America today announced a first-of-its-kind, multifaceted strategic relationship aimed at helping people create healthy lifestyles through physically active play. The two organizations will work together on multiple fronts to help consumers discover how active-play video games contribute to healthy living. Their joint efforts will arm consumers with information, provide people with hands-on experiences and arrange a summit of representatives from different backgrounds to discuss the benefits of active-play video games.<BR><BR>"Our two organizations come from different worlds, but we share a common goal," said Clyde Yancy, M.D., president of the American Heart Association. "Showing people accessible ways to stay active has been a part of our mission for decades, but our research tells us nearly 70 percent of Americans are getting no regular physical activity. As an organization we are looking for ways to change this. Nintendo has demonstrated clear leadership in active-play video games with the popularity of the Wii system, and I&#39;m confident that together we can encourage Americans to become more physically active."<BR><BR>Recent research indicates that the average person spends more than eight hours of each day sitting down*. The American Heart Association has been conducting its own studies to investigate the reasons why many Americans aren&#39;t more physically active. In a recent survey, more than half of respondents identified lack of time as one of the main obstacles preventing them from enjoying regular physical activity. Of those who almost never exercise, nearly 40 percent said that "exercise is not fun." The American Heart Association and Nintendo aim to help eliminate these common barriers with a call to action that motivates people to "Get Informed," "Get Empowered" and "Get Active."<BR><BR>"Nintendo has been helping people get up off the couch and get playing since the Wii system launched in 2006," said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America&#39;s executive vice president of Sales &amp; Marketing. "By joining forces with the American Heart Association, we further our commitment to bringing fun and accessible active-play video games to a broader audience."<BR><BR>To "Get Informed" about products that can be used to create a more physically active lifestyle, consumers will see the iconic American Heart Association brand on boxes for the <I>Wii Fit</I>™ <I>Plus </I>and <I>Wii Sports Resort</I>™ software and for the Wii™ system itself beginning this summer. Nintendo and the American Heart Association will also launch an online information center at <A href="http://www.activeplaynow.com/" target=_blank>www.activeplaynow.com</A>, where visitors can read about the benefits of physically active play, conduct personal assessments and learn more about living a more physically active lifestyle.<BR><BR>Additionally, later this year Nintendo and the American Heart Association will convene a multidisciplinary summit of representatives from areas such as science, health care, research, physical activity, fitness and video gaming. The goal will be to bring together thought leaders, each with a unique perspective, to take a closer look at the synergies and potential benefits of active-play video games and physically active lifestyles. Some of the people involved in the development of the summit include Dr. Timothy Church, exercise physiologist and chair of the American Heart Association&#39;s Physical Activity Committee; Hank Wasiak, a communications industry leader and self-help author; and Michael D. Gallagher, president and chief executive officer of the Entertainment Software Association, the trade association representing U.S. computer and video game publishers.<BR><BR>"Video games&#39; remarkable ability to inspire and motivate are keys to reaching new audiences. This alliance between Nintendo and the American Heart Association marks an extraordinary opportunity, not only for both groups but for the interactive entertainment software industry at large," Gallagher said. "At a time when most Americans could benefit from more regular physical exercise, these high-profile efforts to promote healthy entertainment help to make active-play video games even more appealing to consumers of all kinds."<BR><BR>The American Heart Association and Nintendo also will help people to "Get Empowered" by making personal choices about creating a healthy lifestyle. People can find fun new ways to incorporate physical activity into their lives, such as participating in Start! Heart Walk events and using the American Heart Association&#39;s My Life Check test to evaluate their lifestyles. The relationship is also designed to help people "Get Active" through active-play video games like Nintendo&#39;s <I>Wii Fit Plus</I> and <I>Wii Sports Resort</I>, which also will be showcased at select Start! Heart Walk events around the country.<BR><BR>Separate from this strategic relationship, the American Heart Association has recognized Nintendo of America as one of its Start! Fit-Friendly Companies, a designation for employers who go above and beyond when it comes to their employees&#39; health and provide opportunities for wellness in the workplace. <BR><BR>For more information about Nintendo, visit <A href="http://www.nintendo.com/" target=_blank>www.nintendo.com</A>.

<b>NINTENDO INTRODUCES GLASSES-FREE 3D GAMING, AND UNLEASHES THE INDUSTRY’S BEST FRANCHISES IN ENTIRELY NEW WAYS</b><br><br><P><STRONG><EM>A Dream Lineup: Nintendo 3DS, Zelda, Donkey Kong Country, Kirby, Mario, Golden Sun, GoldenEye, Mickey Mouse, Kid Icarus, Animal Crossing, Nintendogs, PilotWings, Paper Mario …</EM></STRONG></P>
<P>LOS ANGELES, June 15, 2010 - Nintendo is raising the bar - again.</P>

<P>Nintendo changed the world of video games with touch-screen gaming on the Nintendo DS™ in 2004. Nintendo then pioneered the motion-controlled gaming revolution with the Wii™ console and the Wii Remote™ controller back in 2006. Today the company unveils an even more immersive gaming experience: Nintendo 3DS™.</P>
<P>At the E3 Expo today, Nintendo gave the world the first look at a portable system that lets people view games in 3D, without the need for special glasses. Nintendo also announced a substantial list of upcoming games for Nintendo 3DS, the Wii console and the Nintendo DS family of systems - a lineup that reads like a who&#39;s who of some of the greatest franchises in video game history with a completely new look and feel.</P>
<P>"The additional dimension of depth in 3D makes it easier for players to judge distances while giving developers a new tool to create games and experiences that play with both height and depth," said Nintendo video game designer Shigeru Miyamoto, who pioneered the fully rendered 3D video game world with <EM>Super Mario 64™.</EM></P>
<P>Nintendo 3DS comes with a 3.53-inch top screen and a 3.02-inch bottom touch screen. It has three cameras - one inner and two outer - to deliver the 3D effect and take 3D pictures. It includes a motion sensor, a gyro sensor and even a Slide Pad that allows 360-degree analog input. At the E3 Expo, Nintendo showed attendees a range of games and applications for Nintendo 3DS that reinvent some of the industry&#39;s most beloved franchises. These include:</P>
<UL>
<LI><EM>Kid Icarus™: Uprising</EM>, the long-awaited franchise follow-up to the NES™ classic.</LI>

<LI><EM>Steel Diver™,</EM> a new submarine-navigation game from Nintendo.</LI>

<LI><EM>Paper Mario™,</EM> which brings paper-based 2D environments to life. </LI></UL>

<b>NINTENDO DOWNLOAD: NINTENDO LETS THE FUN SHINE IN WITH EIGHT NEW GAME DOWNLOADS</b><br><br><P>June 21, 2010</P>
<P><SPAN>This week brings the longest daylight hours of the season across North America. Whether your own neighborhood is under sunny skies or summer clouds, the weather on Nintendo&#39;s Wii™ Shop Channel and Nintendo DSi™ Shop is always inviting. New additions for the WiiWare™ service this week include an eye-popping new installment in the<I> Art Style™</I> series and a pair of <I>The Tales of Bearsworth Manor™ </I>action-puzzle games. Hand-held gamers can choose from five new games for the Nintendo DSiWare™ service, including the puzzle fun of <I>Spin Six™</I>, the undersea amusement of <I>Puffins: Let&#39;s Fish!</I> and the prehistoric adventure of <I>Legendary Wars: T-Rex Rumble</I>. <BR><BR>We&#39;ve also got new arrivals in the "Big Name Games" section of the <I>WarioWare™: D.I.Y. </I>series, which features downloadable microgames from some of the industry&#39;s most talented figures.

Comprised of only three distinct parts (colored sides, tentacles and life force), the focus of your rotozoan life is simple: grow your tentacles. After playing a few levels and learning the basics of your microscopic world, you begin to unlock additional modes of play and the ability to choose the number of tentacles on your rotozoan. Each mode has its own specific purpose: reach a particular length with your tentacles or grow them to the greatest length possible. In either mode, growing your tentacles means absorbing enemies known as goobugs by touching them. There&#39;s just one catch: Successfully absorbing a goobug depends on matching its color to your tentacle. Also, longer tentacles can more easily come in contact with incorrectly colored goobugs (causing damage to the tentacle and decreasing your life force), and the goobugs themselves multiply and begin adapting to your movement. Luckily, objects such as the restorative heart item and special attack-enabling cyclone item can be found floating in the ooze to help your rotozoan survive. With atmospheres ranging from peaceful to intensely challenging, <I>Art Style: Rotozoa</I> offers a wide variety of levels. Victory can only be achieved through quick, precise movement and the ability to remain calm under pressure. Are you ready to take on the goobugs? Games in th<I>e Art Style</I> series feature elegant design, polished graphics and pick-up-and-play controls, creating an experience focused purely on fun and engaging game play.<BR><BR><B><I>The Tales of Bearsworth Manor: Chaotic Conflicts™<BR></I>Publisher:</B> SQUARE ENIX<BR><B>Players:</B> 1<BR><B>ESRB Rating:</B> E (Everyone) - Mild Cartoon Violence<BR><B>Price: </B>1,000 Wii Points<BR><B>Description:</B> A crumbling mansion is home to a most peculiar picture book.
