We were a bit shocked to receive any kind of update at all about Disaster: Day of Crisis, much less a release date. Monolith's survival adventure is one of those games that disappears for months at a time, then pops up with just a few screens. For some reason, we think of it as perpetually on the brink of cancellation. But Nintendo's serious enough about releasing it to, uh, print a page in a retail pamphlet about it! Interesting factoid: Bears are now natural disasters.

Another page (after the break) tinily reveals new screens of Super Mario Stadium: Family Baseball, which was just announced for the U.S. as Super Mario Sluggers. From the title, we know that the new game will be developed by Namco Bandai and will share gameplay aspects (though certainly not controls!) with their Family Stadium games. Miis will also be playable!

Can't tell if the Disaster graphics have gotten any better, the screenshots in those scans aren't big enough, even in the full-resolution version

However, it still looks like what it promised to be, a new idea to fill the gap of first-party, mature titles on Wii

Mario sports games - cleverly disguised fan service for the crowd who just wants any excuse to see Peach in short-shorts. Of course I'm only kidding; I'm not familiar with the Family Stadium games at all, but I definitely enjoyed the Mario baseball game for the Cube. If it makes good use of the Wii controls and includes online play, I'm sold. As for Disaster - well, I've been waiting for more info on this game since its first announcement. Do want!

well, it may not be bears but nature overall, i mean, maybe because of the natural disasters there had been a umbalance on nature food chain and now bears are seeking for new food resource, aka, humans

Fact: Bears beat Beets

Beets beat Battlestar Galactica

What is the best kind of Bear?
