Nintendo Wii appreciation thread

Nice!

Tänne pinkki DS Lite sitten synttärilahjaksi :)

Ainoot uudet Wiinfot: Mario Strikers Charged & Battalion Wars 2. Tänään viel EA:n kanssa yhteinen keynote. Varmaan demoavat miten Madden toimii Wii:llä. Ei siis mitään erityisen mielenkiintoista tälle päivälle. Huomen aukee ovet yleisölle, toivottavasti Red Steel ja Rayman on pelattavana, we'll see. Muuten toi koostu aika pitkälti E3:n videoista ja samantyylisistä demonstraatioista. Laitan myöhemmin linkin WiiTennis demoon @ Leipzig.

Seuraava tärppi:



Törkeetä ;)

Hintoja ei vielä ole varmistettu, mutta joku Saksan Nintendovastaava oli kommentoinu, että ~250euroa olis hinta täällä vanhalla mantereella.

Tosiaan arvailujen varassa tuo hinta... toivottavasti jää alle 300e.

Ennakkotilauksia voi jo laittaa ainakin verkkokauppa.comiin. Itsellä ollut jo jonkin aikaa, tavoitteena olisi saada konsoli+4 ohjainta heti julkistuksen yhteydessä :)

2:43 a.m. EST: [update 18]: More Japanese launch titles: Red Steel from UbiSoft, SD Gundam Revolution, Tamagotchi, and "ennichi no tastsujin" which seems to be carnival style games in the tradition of Taiko: Drum Master(!) from Namco. More coming.

Marble Madnessin ja Monkey Ballin sekoitus, en muista nimeä, näytti erittäin lupaavalta videossa:





Kuten myös:

Mii wants that god damn machine RIGHT NOW! ;-)
Eli näyttää pirun hyvältä...

:eek:
TAHTOO!!1!
Pirun hyvältä kyllä näyttää, eikä toi hintakaan pahalta kuullosta :)

Jouluksi sitten viimeistään, toivottavasti...

US konferenssin satoa:

Wii goes on sale November 19. "The worldwide debut of the Wii system happens right here in the Americas -- the same place where we debuted Nintendo DS. On November 19, it will be available at more than 25,000 points of distribution across the Americas. And with a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $249.99. One price. One configuration. One color." Which is, for the record, white.

9:29 am: But what's in the box? One Wii remote, one nunchuk both included. Don't forget about Wii Sports, the first pack-in game at launch since the SNES. Speaking of which, we're now seeing a demo of bowling, one of the games included in Wii Sports.

9:30 EST: Invites NOA player to show off Wii Sports Bowling. "Been designed from the ground up to be playable by absolutely everyone," player says.

To play the game, the controller is swung backward and then pushed forward -- almost like you'd hit a golf ball. It's as simple as that. You can give the ball spin by tilting the controller as you release.

"First time we have a Zelda title available on launch day. It gives us a huge boost and huge momentum right out of the box. It's a masterpiece game. We will continue to make those big masterpiece titles for the core gamer, as well as new games to drive market expansion."

9:39 am: Here's a random sampling of third-party games that will be out on day one: Call of Duty 3, Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam, Trauma Center: Second Opinion, Need for Speed: Carbon, Madden 07, Elebits, Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz, Rayman: Raving Rabbids, Splinter Cell: Double Agent.

9:48 EST: Bill Trinen takes stage to talk about Wii channels. Says that these channels will make non-gamers want to pick up the Wii. Trinen goes into the Mii channel, which enables users to create virtual versions of themselves. He says he wants to create Samuel L. Jackson. Modifies hair and face on a 3D model. Changes eyes. Changes nose. Changes lips. Gives him a mustache. Changes the color of his clothes. Enter his name. This is all done easily with the Wii-mote by pointing and clicking.

Wii Channels Menu - News channel shown, as well as weather, shop, photo, and others. 1 page of 12 Wii channels, expandable as well. Disc channel allows players to play Wii game or Game Cube games, Wii Shop is the Virtual Console home, The legend of zelda, Super Mario World, Super Mario 64 and Donkey Kong available for VC launch day. 10 games per month, 5 bucks for NES, 8 for SNES, and 10 for N64. Wii Points acquired online or at retaliers. 2000 Wii points card for 20 bucks at retail. Games story internally and becomes its own channel. Title is available forever once downloaded.

Red Steel:

kai se on pakko ostaa sit kun moinen suomeen asti päätyy - mennee 2007 puolelle?

Luulisin Wiin saapuvan Suomeen hyvissä ajoin ennen Joulua, huomennahan se selviää lopullisesti. Hauska harrastushan tää on, hyvä että raporteista on jotain iloa muillekin :)

Vanhojen tuttujen lisäks omat erikoistärpit menee Korolimpalle, Forever Bluelle, WiiBoxingille ja Biljardille, joka on osa yhtä multi game pakkausta, jonka nimeä en saa nyt millään päähän.

Korolimpa oli siis tää:



Videon perusteella näyttäis erittäin toimivalta, mut samalla haastavalta paketilta. Wiimotella kallistellaan kenttää tilanteen mukaan. Bilis näytti kans istuvan tosi nätisti Wii:n kontrolleihin, ei voi mitään..

:)

EU konferenssi, editointi taas tilanteen mukaan:

14:36.09 -
Apparently it's going to start "in a few minutes". "Please take your seats," the PA asks hopefully.

13:10 - Aha! We're onto the Wii now! Oh, well I thought we were. Shibata just left the stage. Ah! Logan is back and we're about to see Wii Boxing in Wii Sport for the first time. Literally, my knickers just went damp. Apparently, Shibata is going to take on Iwata! One round in the ring!

Oooh this is quite good. You punch and jab with the Wiimote and guard by holding the nunchuck and remote close to you. AAAAAND Satoru Iwata has just come on stage to tell Shibata off - it was all big comedy ruse!

13:25 - Ah! Logan's back and she's showing us Tennis. She's bandying around the names 'Tim Henman' and 'Greg Rezetski' - a name I've never needed to spell before. Logan's just spend a good five minutes hunting around for a bunch of avatars bearing likenesses to them. And now the curtains have just whizzed open and there's a fake tennis court on stage! Guess who's there! Yup, REAL LIVE TENNIS STARS!

15:34.45 -
30-30. Tim's serving. Decent rally this time, and Greg wins it. Game point. "Nintendo's gone mad," my friend says.

15:33.05 -
30-30. Tim's serving. Decent rally this time, and Greg wins it. Game point. "Nintendo's gone mad," my friend says.

15:32.13 -
They're in their tennis whites and everything. Gabby's commentating. Greg's really getting into it, but they're 30-0 down.

Henman misses one on the baseline. And Greg gets one back. Oh but Henman's hit it out. Game.

Second game. Tim's beaten down. He's arguing the line call.

15-15. "We move quicker in this game than real life," says Greg.
