New Wii info

Nintendo still has to match N-Gage cartridge sizes, half the size of DS carts! Maybe get them even smaller, so small you need to buy an additional Nintendo brand shrinking ray that'll shrink you down so you can put it in the slot. Pack in a limited edition Snorlax one with a Pokemon (Snap) game, one that shoots the laser from its mouth or something. Then it falls over and causes several earthquakes.

The article is back up now, but without the IBM stuff. Matt probably took it down much like when someone goes to the toilet with the entire tablecloth still tucked into their pants because that's easier than not eating dinner like a moron. 100% confirmed information, you heard it here first.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

However, on the contrary, I looked down on the computer screen and I'm not too sure but I think I saw a 12th of Nov 2006 or 12th of Oct 2006 release date.

Maybe it's just an guess on the release date or maybe it's Nintendo, giving everyone a release date (and hence the reason all stores have started advertising) and them silencing them with an NDA.

Food for thought ^_^.

November's probably the best bet for here. And just out of random interest, does your EB have the huge Wii promo posters up? A number of them around Australia have got 'em up now, seems Nintendo Australia might be putting some effort into something for once! TRADE IN A PS2 AND TWENTY FIVE NEW RELEASE GAMES TO SAVE $300 WOW!



There's nowhere I can't reach.

Muuushy, have you been staring at the poster for too long?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Well yeah, it's Nintendo Australia. Their idea of advertising in the past has been some fat kid holding a GBA for thirty seconds, nothing else going on. Very interesting, creative things that get consumers excited for sure! GBA and GameCube both being huge flops here is unrelated to their power of awesome advertising!

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Nah, EB's trade in deals don't work quite like that here. You can't just go snatch up some five buck copies of like Tekken Tag or whatever, the games have to be no more than a year old and they've gotta be big name titles (no weird little new release budget games). They always fail to mention that though, they wait until you've hauled in a back breaking bag of junk to say 'naaaah'. Considering games very rarely drop in price here unless they're ancient (gotta keep the brutal rape going as long as possible), you're looking at $80 - $100 a game, so at the absolute max it'd be $2500 + a PS2 console to save $300. ='D

I was speaking idiomatically.

Pretty much. Eeeeeeehhhh, more e's and h's, this can just be chucked into the current IGN Wii thread for shits and giggles. What a mess!

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Yeah, internet rumours on the internet suggest Nintendo will announce the launch date and other Wii related information type info at the Leipzig games convention next week.

FELIPE NO

Yeah, we'll start up an official thread when we've got a lot more concrete information and such, which shouldn't be too far away I guess. Maybe we can have a contest on who creates it, it'll have to be fancy! The winner could also get a luxury prize like an old issue of the UK's terrible '64 Magazine', it'd be worth millions (of tears).

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I can't stand moving while playing video games! Sometimes I remove my heart before I turn a console on because I know it'll always be moving. I've even build a machine that presses the buttons on the control pad for me, used some old dog food cans, a plastic knife and the guts of an old Mattel Speak 'n' Spell.

How ya doing, buddy?

Mario Strikers Charged and Battalion Wars 2 have been shown so far. Oh wait, now it's over. Laffo.

How ya doing, buddy?

Whoops, I'll just force these two threads to have sex. The conference is over, Nintendo basically didn't reveal shit all once again. =D

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

All set for whatever. Can't pass up a free game!



The girl behind the counter said it'll probably be good for any game at launch. Probably being the mystery word! Now all I need is for Nintendo to confirm EXCITE TRUCK as a launch title, because EXCITE TRUCK is about BIG DAMN TRUCKS.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

They just had a pile of them in-store underneath a TV that was constantly looping the Smash Bros. Brawl trailer. Must drive the staff insane! Maybe Toys R Us will extend this offer to America, dunnno! =o

I was speaking idiomatically.

If it's anything like the DS, nobody will be playing third party games onrrrriiiine anyway. ;__;

"I think I'll search for someone to verse in Tony Hawk DS!"
"SEARCHING, PLZ WAIT"
"Ooh"
"SEEEEEEEARCHIIIING, ... PLZ WAIT"
"Ooh!"
"NOBODY ELSE IN THE WORLD OWNS THIS GAME YOU LOSER"
".. ooh"

*Steers in a different direction*

System 3 has really taken a liking to the Wii. Both Gottlieb Pinball Classics and Leaderboard Golf will be released in November (in PAL territories), more than likely just rushed PS2 ports. But now they've announced 2D remakes of California Games and Impossible Mission for the Wii (both also appearing on PSP and DS).

Best part is California Games will also include SUMMER GAMES AND WINTER GAMES. Best multiplayer game confirmed forever.
internets.

Also Play It!, a hilariously low budget publisher has Super Fruitfall listed as an upcoming Wii game. A PAL only release for PS2 a while ago, you basically rotate mazes to get stuff to fall on fruit. The sort of thing you'd expect to find on a dodgy spyware infested Flash game site. It was like $15 new. See guys, I always bring you the most exciting news ever!

FELIPE NO

Ahaha yeah, that's very fake. It came to life as some 'exclusive insider info'zzz' email from a nobody to GoNintendo.com, and basically everything that site posts is hilariously retarded. There's spelling errors all over the place, mention of some virtual reality helmet that'll be used in Disaster: Day of Crisis and you can see a pattern in the wrinkled paper from the crappy Photoshop job. =D

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

They better bloody well talk about all the important crap this time around, like EXCITE TRUCK, Super Fruitfall and if the Wii will deep fry chips. Actual launch date, price, list of confirmed launch games and how the Virtual Console will work would be nice too I guess.

How ya doing, buddy?

It's like an Excite Bike crashed into San Francisco Rush and they had babies that grew into big damn trucks somehow.

Most amazing jew boots

Nintendo Australia / EB strike back with an even crappier looking promo poster!



It's like Mario's about to shove it up his arse or something.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I forgot all about DVD playback in the thing. Doesn't everyone have a twenty five cent player sitting next to their consoles like me by now? One that proudly states it can do JPEG slideshows then every image comes up on screen as a yellow and purple Atari 2600 type mess? They're the best.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Eegads, didn't GameCube launch at like €200? I hope Wii's the same. My PS2's DVD movie function thingy died somewhere in 2002, like magic! Yet it still reads DVD-ROM games fine. Actually, fine as in, has to take about two minutes to reconize the discs. Keep going little PS2! You can do it!

I was speaking idiomatically.

Nintendo will always be kiddy, UNLESS they show Mario's boobs. Also! Ubisoft's launch games GT Pro and Monster 4x4 will come bundled with this thinga-ma-jig.



Floating steering wheel of doom. They say it'll also work with EXCITE TRUCK, Cars and the racing bits in Spongebob Squarepants: Battle of the Very Long Whatever Name. Also any other racer or Wii game in general I guess. Kind of like playing action games on PS2 with the DDR mat. I'd play Smash Bros. with it.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Pretty good selection of games to kick off with. Could do with less Ecco and more SHINOBI. I don't really care about the Mega Drive stuff though, I wanna know if Bonk from TurboGrafx will be there day one. =o

FELIPE NO

After incredible anticipation, all the key details relating to Nintendo's Wii and its Australian debut will finally be revealed this week, and relayed to the rest of the country via national television.

Seven News in Melbourne has filmed for a forthcoming news story today, relating to Nintendo's new generation home console, Wii. The exclusive report will go to air on Friday and will contain those elusive details, Seven has confirmed.

bog.

Making the six o'clock news, that sure is a fancy way to announce the local launch details. Nintendo Australia's probably blown their whole thirty cent marketing budget already with this!

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

That's a stream of an old press conference guys. =x

Jam it back in, in the dark.
