A New Day a New Poll!

The last poll asked you guys what color Wii would you like if you had the choice. In the end, the black Wii was the color of choice followed closely by it’s counterpart, white. Silver came in 3rd and sadly, the color pink got zero votes. Thanks to all who participated.

The new poll (updated today) asks you guys what do you expect from Nintendo at next weeks Wii showing. I will, as always, be participating later and voting myself, but have fun and let us know what you think. Thanks to one of our readers, he was anonymous in the comment section, for the tip on the new poll. Game ON!

I’m still not sure what to make of the game. This is one that I will have to play before I buy. It looks like it could be good for non-gamers like my wife. We will see.

Broadway Chip in Development Since July

IBM announced that their Broadway chip custom-designed for Nintendo’s Wii console has been shipping to Nintendo’s since July. “We have been shipping well within this quarter (July),” said Ron Martino, director of IBM Technology Collaboration Solutions. “In fact, we have shipped a significant volume in this quarter.”

When asked to quantify the speed of the Broadway processor, IBM’s Martino compared it to the GameCube. “Compared to the Gekko in the GameCube, it’s 20 percent more power efficient. It also performs significantly better. The key point is that it is Power Architecture-based and custom-made and optimized for Nintendo,” he stated.

We just may get the actual release information on the 14th of September. Keep those fingers crossed gamers.
