Remember the Nintendo conference we talked you about a couple of weeks ago? well, we didn´t get any revolution info but we certainly got a few surprises specially for European Nintendo fans.

At the Games Convention in Leipzig Nintendo announced they will be releasing a Gamecube bundle with the launch of Mario Smash Football. The package will include the game and a White Perl Gamecube wich sounds pretty cool. No price was given for this bundle.

They also announced they´ll be launching the DS in 2 new colors, well, not really new since Japan got´em centuries ago but they haven´t been distributed in the rest of the world. This new colors are Pink and Green.

But there are more surprises for you lucky europeans, in other Nintendo News, the company will be releasing the Play-Yan (probably with a different name), an add-on wich allows you to play mp3 and mpeg4 files on your Nintendo DS.

I think we should´ve seen before that this was basically a conference with European related news but i guess we all hoped they´d give away more info on the revolution.

Yes, that is a godzilla sized bowser. You might have already seen some glitches and cool stuff for Super Smash Bros meele wich being one of the most played games ever has been studied by people who wants to know every litle secret of the game.

Gametrailers has a really cool developer diary of Prince of Persia 3. Ben Mattes producer of the game talks about where this game is going focusing mainly on how they built the city of Babylon where POP 3 will be set.

I really like these “diaries”, they are the “making the video” of the gaming world. You can watch the video here.

Nintendo Europe has announced Super Mario Strikers, the soccer game from the mario sports series has been renamed as Mario Smash Footbal. I kinda liked Strikers better but i think the name change has something to do with Smash Melee success. Let´s just hope we don´t see Super Mario Smash Rugby Melee in the near future.

Mario Smash Football is part of the Mario sports series. Back at e3 Nintendo showed a lot of upcoming Mario and friends games playing a lot of sports, from baseball to tennis and even a dance game.

I´m not exactly a soccer fan but the game looks fun, there´s still no word on the realease date but it is possible that MSF will be on the shelves by the end of this year.

Good news for all of us who enjoy good looking girls in games, EA has signed a deal with model and actress Josie Maran to be featured as a character and the cover girl for Need for speed: Most Wanted.

Last time, on NFSU 2, Brooke Burke played an in game character and Josie will be doing pretty much the same, “EA has created a new process that takes Hi-Definition footage of live actors and converts them into synthetic-looking videogame characters”, thanks to that, she will be playing a street racer called Mia.

So, you don´t know who Josie Maran is? well maybe you´ve seen her recently as Maybelline´s cover girl, she also acted in movies such as Van Helsing and Aviator.

I´m sure this won´t be the last time we see models or other celebrities featuring in games, it´s been working really good for EA in their sports games, i mean, every year we are waiting to see who´s getting the cover of Madden even when they are not nearly as good looking as the babes they are signing for the Need for speed series.
