After four years of staying on top, it's the first time for the Wii to experience a sales decline. Satoru Iwata owns up to the issue, but remains optimistic about Nintendo bouncing back into the game.

Konami has been around for a very long time. Long before 3D and complex gameplay, the publisher busied itself as a prominent MSX developer.

Anybody here remember Golvellius: The Valley of Doom? It was an old MSX game that was then released by Sega for the Master System back in 1987. Today it's back, thanks to an iPhone and iPod Touch version from DotEmu and D4Enterprise.
