Animal Crossing: City Folk in Creepy Mii Masks
(via Nintendo Wii Fanboy) - Filed under: VideoWe spent our limited Animal Crossing: City Folk time at E3 messing with the new Mii masks, reducing an effigy of a normally jovial executive to a blubbering mess.

Platinum working toward HappyESRB with MadWorld
(via Nintendo Wii Fanboy) - Filed under: News How do you keep the ESRB from destroying a game like MadWorld, built as it is almost entirely around ridiculously overblown, graphic violence?

This week is a case in point: Namco went and ruined the surprise by announcing a remake of Klonoa: Door to Phantomile for the Wii.
