Over at IGN.com (aka the FOX-owned video game and entertainment website) there is now an official page for the Wii version of The Simpsons. While EA has only announced that the games will release on "next-gen consoles", this is a tidbit that came along with the flurry of recent Wii announcements.
The page can be found here: Wii@IGN.

Massive Images Update.
02 Aug 2006
I went a bit eBay crazy last month and picked up a bunch of old Simpsons video game magazines. You can check out the newest ads, articles, and covers at the Images section.
Gamers with an Xbox 360 can now download the Simpsons Movie trailer on Xbox 360 Marketplace. Check it out and let us know if it's any different from the one we've all seen on Youtube. :)
Site Design 6.5 Now Live!
05 Jul 2006
If you're a regular visitor you may have noticed a few tweaks to the site. If you're new, welcome to the newly redesigned CBG's Video Game Collection, version 6.5! It's not a complete overhaul or anything that extreme, just a few design issues that were bugging me. There might also be a few weird errors that I'll fix over the next few days.
Next-gen Simpsons Game to be a Platformer?
02 Jul 2006
I recently came across a job posting at the EA Jobs website that called for a level designer to work on an upcoming Simpsons game. Some of the requirements include "getting" action-adventure games, having experience with platform gaming, and level building skills. Given that the most recently announced Simpsons game has had no details released, and the Simpsons movie has also been announced to release in Summer 2007 (a likely target season for the game as well), it's safe to say that this level designer will be creating platform levels on the next-gen Simpsons game.
It is honestly a bit disappointing to see EA Redwood Shores (the developer) take such a standard direction with the game, but given the limited time to have the game done on a next-gen system I can't blame them for going towards platformer. Simpsons Hit & Run was a bit on the platformer side and it was fun, so I won't knock the next game 'til I try it.
