No word yet on a U.S. release date but Freshtoid will keep you updated.  Don’t worry.  Don’t ever worry.

Atari is BACK

If you thought Atari just meant Pong, Space Invaders, Centipede and joysticks, then you are severely out of the loop. But worry not, Freshtoid got the scoop on the Atari’s comeback. In the first six months of 2009 you are going to be seeing a lot more from Atari, no gaming system yet, but the games will definitely be a step up from Missile Command. Titles will include a 25-year anniversary edition of Ghost Busters, a game version of Vin Diesel in Chronicles of Riddick, among many others. Atari will also take back the lead as a gaming trailblazer once again as they make the push to take online gaming to next level…more details what Atari is up to here.

Batmobile App for iPhone & iPod Touch

This fresh app is currently available in Apple’s App Store.

BringIt.com

Bringit.com allows video gamers show off their mad skills and compete for REAL money.  Gamers can actually make bets versus other gamers on a variety of platforms and game types.

More info after the jump.

Wii Fit

The Wii Fit has been tapped as the IT gift this holiday season. The game is so fresh that it is already selling out in many locations. If any game is going to make it this year, the FIT IS IT. It has a balance board and you can play in three modes: aerobic, strength training, yoga and balance games. I wonder what this feels like in strength training mode??

Guitar Hero: World Tour Commercial

Mario’s Mistake.

Poor Mario.  How is he going explain to Master Splinter that he stomped on Raphael, Michelangelo, Leonardo, and Donatello?

Ninetendo DSI

For those of you waiting for the next wii, you might as well just jump on with the new Ninetendo DSi instead. This hand-held console goes on sale in Japan in November and will be seen in America and Europe in Spring 2009. The new DSi can take pictures, play music and will have a new series of games available. Unfortunately, it will no longer play original GameBoy games like the DS did in 2006. As to whether the new device can steal some of Apple’s marketshare…Freshtoid is a little skeptical. For more info on the DSi and other reviews click here.
