Resident Evil 5 Coming to AU Uncut:
Australia, December 18, 2008 - Recently, Australians have had to contend with a lot of high-profile games being refused classification for their adult content and themes. Off the back of concerns that the highly anticipated Resident Evil 5 might suffer a similar fate, we have a spot of good news for a change.

The infamously stringent Australian Classifications Board has awarded Resident Evil 5 an MA15+ classification, cautioning 'strong violence'. This comes off the back of the overturning of FEAR 2's original 'refused classification' status earlier this week.

Resident Evil 5 is out on March 13, 2009 in Australia.

New Wii due by 2011:
What They Play has heard from multiple sources in the game development and publishing community that Nintendo is currently showing early presentations of its next home console hardware. Apparently set to hit the market “by 2011” the new device is said to be the true “next generation” Nintendo console, and far more than a simple refresh of the current hardware. Unlike previous console transitions from Nintendo, the new system will be presented as a true successor to the Wii, and is being dubbed by those that have seen the presentation as “Wii HD.” There is no indication if this will be its eventual name, but the nature of the transition has been characterized as similar to “the shift from Game Boy to Game Boy Advance,” where familiar, key elements were left intact while the core hardware was made more powerful. It is expected by all those that we have spoken to on the subject that the new device will retain the Wii name in part.
