Nintendo’s celebration of the 25th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda™ series continues in full force with the announcement that The Legend of Zelda™: Skyward Sword will launch in North America on Nov. 20. The epic adventure, created from the ground up for the Wii™ console, sends this storied series to new heights and marks a turning point for the franchise.

The game uses the precision motion controls of the Wii Remote™ Plus (or a Wii Remote controller with a Wii MotionPlus™ accessory) and Nunchuk™ controllers to map on-screen action to the player’s movements. When a player swings the Wii Remote Plus controller, Link™ appears to swing his sword in exactly the same way.

“The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is the biggest game in the series yet,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “We’ve just scratched the surface of this massive experience, and we look forward to sharing additional details with fans as we approach the Nov. 20 launch.”

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is now available for pre-order at major retailers throughout North America. A deposit may be required for pre-orders. See individual retailers for details. For more information about the game, visit Zelda.com/SkywardSword.

A new cut-scene from LucasArts’ Force Unleashed II has surfaced. In this scene Starkiller is in search of a Jedi, but first he must get past some Imperials.

Yesterday was Mario’s 25th Birthday. The original Super Mario Bros game debuted on the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1985. So a happy birthday from us at FHTI and also to his creator Shigeru Miyamoto, for making one of the most memorable and enduring character in not only game but entertainment history.

In tribute to this accomplishment, Nintendo has released a video covering the important games in his very long history. Please enjoy the nostalgia. Long live the King of the platform.

Even if your not a fan of the show, your definitely going to be a fan of the game. It’s an old fashion button mashing Beat ‘em up. And this is one of the most entertaining trailer, come on, batman is playing his own game.

Batman: The Brave and the Bold will be available for Nintendo DS, and Nintendo Wii on Sep 7, 2010.

I am no real fan of the Wii. And I have put off buying all this time. Now I am at a loss. I have no choice but to buy one now. This game is just phenomenal. Samus is the one. And she has the power upgrades to put any monster in the grave.

I am just overjoyed to see how Team Ninja worked some of their “Ninja Magic” on one of the coolest Nintendo franchises. When you spot a game such as this, you don’t even care about the issue of Hi Def. What Issue?!?!? With so little press and hype a person would begin to wonder if there was any real fire behind this new title. But really this trailer says it all. Buy a Wii. Own a Wii. Buy Metroid Other M. And love it.

Do you have a Wii? If you don’t then you should. Super Mario Bros. are back and no one should miss this awesome reunion, of Nintendo and the guys that help make them what they are today. Coming in November.
