GameStop had already promised a T-shirt and art booklet as a bonus for pre-ordering the Metroid Prime Trilogy, which releases at the end of August. Well now they’ve added a Metroid Prime poster (above) as an additional item to customers that order online. I’m not really a “pre-order person”, but I do love free stuff. And this is a lot of free stuff!

A portion of a Destructoid review:
You wouldn’t think that a golf video game would be a good platform to show off new gaming technology, but it turns out that Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 is a perfect showcase for Nintendo’s WiiMotion Plus, so much so that the device comes packed in the box.
Score: 9 – Superb

Dear Retroholics,
Bplus, independent software developer from Austria, is excited to announce the release of its much-anticipated Retrorama Bit Boy!! on WiiWare in Europe this Friday, 3rd of July. Players will be able to grab Bit Boy!! for only 600 WiiPoints™!
The US-Version is still in the check at the Nintendo Center in Japan. We are sure to get a release date for North America soon so it can be released within July 2009!
Bit Boy!!, is a totally new kind of game mix in which one-pixel-hero Kubi rushes through the whole history of videogames in order to save his pixel pals. Players accompany Kubi in this totally crazy-pixellated retro journey and battle hordes of nasty monsters in 4-bit dungeons, 8-bit caves, 16-bit strongholds, 32-bit mazes, 64-bit arenas and 128-bit worlds.
Players can grab a pal for even more fun in the cooperative mode.
The Wii Remote is your joystick – the arcade adventure begins.
Key Facts:
Genre: Arcade Action
Platform: WiiWare™
Developer: Bplus
Players: 1 or 2 Player cooperative
Control Style: Wii Remote™ – +Control Pad Style or Joystick Style

Silver Star Reversi:
It’s difficult to recommend Silver Star Reversi wholeheartedly, however its core gameplay and frugal price make it difficult to dismiss.
Reel Fishing Challenge:
“Reel Fishing Challenge has some issues and feels a bit shallow even as a digital download. Considering the price however, it isn’t a bad place to start for those curious of the genre.

First up, a HUGE thank you to Bethany for switching her work night from Wednesday to Tuesday. I really appreciate it!
Second, the reason Bethany switched work days is because today is Mom Brain’s birthday!
Mom Brain turns 27 today, and the podcast crew is heading out to have some dinner and fun. No worries, I’ll be back around 11 PM EST tonight, just as I would on a normal Bethany Wednesday.
Feel free to leave some birthday wishes for Mom B. in the comments below. I’m sure she’d be happy to see!
Nice to see that both Nintendo and GameStop are still pushing the game. Check your mailbox for one of these babies! Thanks to Wiimo for the heads up.

A portion of a PocketGamer interview with creative director Denis Mercier…
PG: When did development start and why did you think the DS would be a good platform?
DM: The idea started early 2006, when I was working on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, but playing games like Kirby Canvas Curse (aka Kirby: Power Paintbrush in Europe). I was very attracted by the charm and uniqueness of the Nintendo DS. So the initial inspiration is the console itself and the desire to develop a game that was totally adapted to it, based on touchscreen and microphone.
Throughout 2007, we completed the game and design concepts and set everything in place: we found the right partners to create AlienAfterAll [the game’s producers], and found a studio capable of taking on the development of the game: Neko Entertainment.
We produced a few pre-demos to blaze trails and eliminate unrewarding paths, and completed a huge final game design document that was very thought-out. Development finally started in summer 2008. We have just finished.
Our objective from the beginning was to develop a top-quality game for DS. We gave ourselves over a year to do it and so we were able to really pay attention to each element: music – special effects, AI, physics, design, animation and graphics.
