Nintendo Announces Re-Entry into the Console Business

After gracefully bowing out of the console industry last November with the release of Donkey Kong Country Returns for the Wii, Nintendo has announced they have plans to re-enter the console market once more this year.

And what a way to re-enter the console business with a brand new entry in the storied The Legend of Zelda franchise with The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword! And as a bonus treat to all their fans who supported them before their departure last fall, they have even announced a very special Collector’s Edition of the game. Which really only comes with a golden Wii Mote Plus, but its gold!

In addition to the latest Legend of Zelda, Nintendo has also announced a 4 player co-op Kirby platformer.

Well, we won’t know for sure if this is a return for good or just to remind people that they use to be able to make console games, we look forward to these new games.
