Informants come in many shapes, sizes and trenchcoats, but those who approach us under a veil of secrecy and threaten to bend our limbs in unnatural ways should we reveal their identities are usually the best ones.

At this point, said theory could probably kill a passerby if dropped from a balcony.You can read the rest of this from IGN above.

Nintendo game master Shigeru Miyamoto, speaking with Japan's monthly Nintendo Dream as part of the magazine's 10th anniversary festivities, has shared a few intriguing details on the Wii, its controller, and his upcoming games. The dialogue turned at one point to, of all things, left-handed and right-handed gaming. Miyamoto is left-handed, and he said that he's recently been trying to get used to using the remote/nunchuck pair in the "reverse" way -- that is, the remote in the left and the nunchuck in the right hand. While he's been getting used to playing like this, he feels lefties who've grown accustomed to playing games the current way will have an easier time of playing Wii games like everyone else.You can read the rest of this from IGN above.

One year later, these concepts have shown their faces - in Japan. The series is known in that territory as Bit Generations, a collection of "style vs. substance" games that are simple in look, simple in concept, and surprisingly addictive. These are clearly pet projects from Nintendo designers who have been given free reign to design their own simple game. They're also budget priced at a few hundred yen cheaper than the less expensive Game Boy Advance game, which makes sense considering what you'd get for the same buck in a full-fledged product.

In a Star Wars panel this afternoon at the San Diego Comic-Con, LucasArts representative Steve Sansweet confirmed that the company that would be working with all three next generation systems, most importantly for us, the Wii.
