Nintendo Japan conference not-so-liveblogging [update 29]

Sep 14th 2006 2:15AM (Joystiq)
Lets not start to speculate about the 'auxiliary plate'. Probably either the flap up front or the top flap.
And looks like Zelda is around 57 bucks with tax in Japan, so looks like 60 dollar games are likely??

Nintendo Japan conference not-so-liveblogging [update 29]

Sep 14th 2006 2:06AM (Joystiq)
Here is a ROUGH Google translation of the Wii press release (http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n10/news/060914.html):

Because 2006 December 2nd, 25,000 Yen “WiiTM” sale Nintendo Co. corporation December 2nd this year (Saturday), (consumption including tax desired retail price) with the country 25,000 Yen new amusement machines “Wii” which create the electronic amusement experience inside completely new home to sell, we inform. This Wii which we sell (pronounces “[ui]”) or less is included in substance set. Furthermore the *Wii itself ×1 *Wii remote control strap equipped ×1 & the [nunchiyakukontorora] ×1 *Wii private AC adapter ×1 *Wii private AV cable ×1 *Wii itself private stand ×1 *Wii itself private auxiliary plate ×1 *Wii private sensor bar ×1 & the plug server stand ×1 * the single three dry cell battery ×2, overseas, it is the schedule which in the next few days is announced from the respective local subsidiary company in regard to sale schedule and price.


I don't see any games bundled in there...and the last sentence might mean different release dates and prices for other countries??

Video of Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam for Wii [Update 1]

First off a few things:
1. That is an early devkit remote. It is grey, has a cord (no battery compartment), and lacks the speaker. It is also smaller than the ones at E3.
2. This may seem far fetched, but maybe the person in the video wasn't really playing the game and just mimicking what it would look like when using the remote with the game (like he was moving based off a pre-recorded video of in-game footage).

At E3, it took some time to get used to how responsive the remote really was, hyper-responsive even. And looking at the video it does look 'unresponsive'.

I'd really like to know how many who bash the Wii and post on these sites have ever had a chance to mess around with some of the games.
