Reggie Speaks with IGN

Nintendo’s new president of America Reggie recently spoke with IGN in their most recent “Nintendo Minute” segment. Anything with Reggie is worth a read so head over to IGN and check it out.

Touch Generation Info

Nintendo has seen tremendous success with what they refer to as the “touch generation games”. Game like the Brain age series and Nintendogs has turned to gold pretty much every territory they go.

It now seems that current and upcoming “Touch
Generations” games will be identified by a distinctive logo and will help inexperienced and casual gamers quickly identify which games might be appropriate for them. If Nintendo can get housewives, grandparents and others who would not typically pick up a video game title to make purchases, it could increase revenues tremendously.

Wii on November 6?

Cubed3 is reporting that an “industry insider” that is very close to Nintendo has given them details on the Nintendo Wii launch. Their source tells them that the Wii launch will be, “well in time for Thanksgiving and well in time for Christmas in Europe”. He then stated on a more specific date saying, “So, at the moment Nintendo are aiming to launch the Wii on November 6th. Nintendo aren’t going to have an exact date in mind until they are sure they can meet the deadlines”. Take this as rumor. We will keep you updated.

Wario Ware News

What’s so special about WarioWare: Smooth Moves? That’s what Goro Abe, creator of the WarioWare series, was discussing with IGN recently.

Abe states that Smooth Moves prompts the player for specific remote-wielding position before starting each five-second challenge. Abe expects there to be about 200 microgames in total, much like in previous entries in the series. The other games were an absolute blast to play and wer ethe ultimate party games.

For multiplayer, Abe says that while there won’t be any form of online multiplayer included in the title, there will be several ways to play locally: “…because we are only using one controller we would like to create a multiplayer entertainment atmosphere by having one player playing the game and the other people being entertained by looking at that person. Then we would like to have a mode where we will have one remote, but it will be passed onto the next player and they will race their micro-game times. And another plan we have is to connect the nunchuck to the Wii remote and have one player hold onto the Wii remote and the other the nunchuck, and cooperate to proceed through the game.”

Smooth Moves will support progressive scan but is not currently slated to have 16:9 widescreen, and the game is expected to be reelased within the first ninety days of launch, but Abe couldn’t specify the date any further than that. While the online feature is a little bit of a let down, I still cannot wait for the game. As always, we will keep you updated.

Call of Duty 3 Screenshot

Beautiful. Here is a screen of the upcoming war game for Nintendo Wii, Call of Duty 3. The call of duty series has been notorious for capturing the “real feel” of warfare. Its captivating story and amazing gameplay has really set it apart as one of the best war simulators out there. I really hope that this is a good indicator of what we can expect from Wii graphics wise. The screenshot is probably taken from the PS3 version but hopefully Wii wont be too far off. What do you think? Gamestop is now taking reserves on the upcoming war game for the Nintendo Wii. Go reserve now and show your support. Game ON!
