Thursday 7 September 2006 Nintendo has reaffirmed its commitment to launching its Wii console this year in the UK, following Sony's shock announcement yesterday that the European PS3 launch is delayed until 2007. "Wii is still heading for a Q4 release, as we've always stated. The launch is on track," Nintendo's UK representative has assured us, soothing our worries that Wii could mirror Sony's failure to provide UK gamers with PS3 this November. "Nintendo plans to ship six million systems to ...

Thursday 31 August 2006 Wii could be in for a rough ride as Nintendo experiences production problems with the new console's wireless, motion-sensing remote control. Prototypes of the Wii-mote are still being tested and problems with button responsiveness, the difficulty of pressing two buttons at once and the easily damaged shell of the controller appear to have prevented Nintendo from beginning the mass production of its next console. Although Nintendo has yet to even confirm a release date ...

Thursday 24 August 2006 As the Leipzig Game Convention opens its doors to the public today, show-goers eager to try out Nintendo's motion-sensing wonder box for the first time will be mighty disappointed to find that it's nowhere to be found on the show floor and is only available for members of the press to play behind closed doors. The Nintendo stand is dominated entirely by DS Lite, so with Wii nowhere to be seen we asked several third-party publishers attending the event why they weren't ...

Tuesday 22 August 2006 Nintendo legend Shigeru Miyamoto is keen to remake some of his earlier GameCube titles with Wii remote support - aided by the Wii hardware's similarity to GameCube's innards. Of course, Wii is already backwards compatible with GameCube games, controllers and memory cards and, as most of its back catalogue is still available, Miyamoto told Japanese magazine Nintendo Dream that he sees any such remakes as being released at an "affordable price". It's a cost-effective ...

Wednesday 16 August 2006 A diet game is to be the latest in Nintendo's line-up of lifestyle titles for its consoles, with this fat-busting game planned for Wii. Nintendo is hoping to attract new consumers to Wii with this diet game, in much the same way Dr Kawashima's Brain Training has done with DS, according to business news service Bloomberg.

Tuesday 15 August 2006 Nintendo Wii and DS games could soon feature an intriguing voice-recognition system that can read and analyse your speech. Analysed text can be displayed as text on other players' consoles during multiplayer games with the tone of your voice altering the colour, size and font of the text, according to a US patent held by Nintendo. As you speak, the system picks up on your voice pattern - shout "I WIN!" and it will appear in big red capital letters; whisper and it'll be ...

Tuesday 15 August 2006 The launch line-up for Nintendo Wii could be one of the biggest in the history of consoles if third party publishers come through with their support. A total of 27 games have been announced as being on schedule for Wii's launch, which is an amazing amount when you consider that GameCube launched with 12 games and Xbox 360 launched with 20. The total comes from the number of games that have been confirmed for the Wii launch by the games' publishers, rather than being an ...
