Boom Blox dated May 6th (Joystiq)

[R.O.B.]

Filed under: Nintendo Wii

EA previously had the entire month of May blocked off for the release of its Steven Spielberg collaboration Boom Blox. They put a finer point on things during a presentation at Nintendo's Media Summit in San Francisco today, knocking 30 blocks off their May calendar, leaving a proud May 6th standing tall. We'll be checking out the game in, what we can only assume is, a near final state and have our impressions up as soon as we can, okay?

Does Spielberg have to put his name on the top of everything he gives money to? Nintendo games don't have on the box 'Miyamoto presents A Nintendo game: Nintendogs'. Fricken ego here.

I don't really think it's an issue of ego. I think they probably just assume that his name will have some "big name" appeal in the form of selling power. People know who he is, there's the impression that he does quality work, they may have faith in his product based on his reputation, etc. It's a good marketing gimmick.
