Nintendo confirms Disaster’s rumored Oct. 24 European release
Nintendo of Europe today confirmed those pesky Oct. 24 release date rumors for Disaster: Day of Crisis. Still no word from Nintendo as to whether the game will be released in other markets this year.
Lots of juicy details are included in the press release:
Earthquake, tsunami, volcanic eruption, flood, hurricane… and the small matter of an ex-military terrorist group with their hands on some nuclear weapons – and all in just 24 hours?! Welcome to Disaster: Day of Crisis, the action adventure game on Wii from Nintendo and Monolith Soft., sweeping across Europe on 24th October 2008 guaranteed to bring out the survival skills in everyone.
Stepping into the shoes of Raymond Bryce, a traumatised but highly decorated retired US marine and former operative of the International Rescue Team, prepare for a day like no other. Called back into action to deal with the threat of SURGE, an ex-military terrorist unit led by former elite forces specialist Colonel Hayes, Ray must overcome personal tragedy and numerous devastating natural disasters to prevent the threat of nuclear warfare.
Wracked with guilt over the loss of his best friend in the line of duty, Ray finds out that SURGE has kidnapped a leading seismologist and his assistant to predict the arrival of an earthquake, which will act as a diversion for their plan to seize the nuclear weapons. However, upon finding out that the assistant is his lost friend’s sister, Lisa, the mission turns personal and offers Ray the chance of redemption he’s been craving for.

June’s release of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of The Patriots proved to be a signicant PS3 hardware seller.

Japan Reverts To Xbox Ignoring Habits
The Xbox 360′s Japanese victory over its hi-def console competitor was short lived. Xbox buying fever has broken in a big way overseas, with the flagging console returning to last place on the Media Create hardware charts. Not that Sony’s PlayStation 3 is doing that much better right now. At least Microsoft can blame its drop on depleted stock.The success story this week though is that of the Nintendo DS, which extends its lead over the PSP by a hefty margin. The numbers you need are below.
* Nintendo DS – 78,666
* PSP – 64,413
* Wii – 53,036
* PlayStation 3 – 11,393
* PlayStation 2 – 10,168
* Xbox 360 – 7,358
