Someone is making miniature Wii-motes and Nunchucks, and it isn't Nyko or Mad Catz.  The company called POWER A is releasing the Power Pack Mini, a bundle of the MiniRemote and MiniChuck, for $49.99.  It will come in teal, purple, pink, and black, and the buttons on the front light up.  The MiniRemote (which should just be called MiniMote) will also fit a Motion Plus pack.  I don't think I want a smaller Remote, but it might work better for my son.  You will be able to get them in August.

This week, Nintendo is releasing a whole mess of downloadable titles, and there is even a Virtual Console game!  On the WiiWare side of things, you can get Bejeweled 2, Arcade SPorts, and a yard sale game with mild blood.  DSiWare gets a game with a kappa, some crosswords, another Flips story, a keyboard, and an app that lets you track how fast you can press buttons.

Tonight, Microsoft has revealed the name of Project Natal.  Rather than just naming it Natal, they pulled a Nintendo and changed the name to something completely stupid: Kinect.  Ugh.  There were also some new games revealed for the product as well.  Joyride, the game that was revealed last E3 as a free to play title, is now a Kinect games.  Others include Kinectimals (a game where you train cats), Kinect Sports (Wii Sorts done on the 360), Kinect Adventures (rafting and obstacle course), Dance Central, and a Star Wars game.  We still don't have a price or release date, but we will more than likely get that tomorrow during Microsoft's E3 presser.  

UPDATE - The first image of the official version of Kinect has been released, and you can see it after the jump.

Two new challengers appear!  The first is Dante from Capcom's Devil May Cry series.  The second is one of my all time favorites from the Marvel Universe: Deadpool!  I would imagine we might see a few more characters next week at E3, but I honestly don't care about anyone else in the game now that Deadpool is here.  Check out the new trailer after the jump.

SEGA has officially announced that they will be releasing two classic Dreamcast titles for Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network this Fall.  They are going to be ports of the Dreamcast versions, and Sonic Adventure will be launching for the 11th anniversary of the Dreamcast's launch.  This is completely awesome news, and I will be purchasing both of these titles on day one.  Now all they need to do is release Jet Grind Radio and Seaman.
