Wii MotionPlus Announced 1:1 Controls Are Here!!!

Monday, July 14th, 2008

 Holy shit! Real sword controls, real light saber battles, real beating people to death with blunt objects! Every fantasy you ever had about the Wiimote finally coming true?

Wii MotionPlus 1:1 Controller Add-on

Nintendo’s upcoming Wii MotionPlus accessory for the revolutionary Wii Remote controller again redefines game control, by more quickly and accurately reflecting motions in a 3-D space. The Wii MotionPlus accessory attaches to the end of the Wii Remote and, combined with the accelerometer and the sensor bar, allows for more comprehensive tracking of a player’s arm position and orientation, providing players with an unmatched level of precision and immersion. Every slight movement players make with their wrist or arm is rendered identically in real time on the screen, providing a true 1:1 response in their game play. The Wii MotionPlus accessory reconfirms Nintendo’s commitment to making games intuitive and accessible for everyone. Nintendo will reveal more details about the Wii MotionPlus accessory and other topics Tuesday morning at its E3 media briefing.

Nintendo Discourages Wii Retailer Bundles

Tuesday, December 18th, 2007

From Reuters

Nintendo, which is striving to meet Wii demand more than a year after the machine first went on sale, was also trying to discourage the practice of bundling the consoles with extra games or accessories and selling it for a higher price.

A Wii by itself sells for $250 — cheaper than Microsoft Corp’s (MSFT.O: Quote, Profile, Research) Xbox 360 and Sony Corp’s (6758.T: Quote, Profile, Research) PlayStation 3 — but some retailers have offered bundles priced for double that price.

“Retailers have already been given feedback that we are not big fans of that. We think it masks some of the price advantage we have versus our competition and, frankly, the consumer should decide what they want,” Fils-Aime said.

Asked if Nintendo had threatened such retailers with fewer Wii shipments, Fils-Aime said only that the company carried a lot of weight as maker of one of the most highly sought items this holiday season. 

“We don’t have to remind retailers of the strength we have right now. We are simply making an observation and that reinforces our point quite nicely with retailers,” Fils-Aime said.

Nintendo’s top priority was to satisfy Wii demand because the issue was an obstacle to future plans, Fils-Aime said.

Unable to accurately forecast how many Wiis will be sold in the coming months, Nintendo is finding it difficult to plan for new games, such as “Wii Fit,” an upcoming physical exercise game that uses a pressure-sensitive board.

“We at Nintendo America are focused on getting to the point when any consumer can walk into any of our retailers and find a Wii. Then we can plan, on an ongoing basis, the rest of the business,” Fils-Aime said.

Nintendo Begins A Wii Raincheck Program For The Holidays Through Gamestop

Friday, December 14th, 2007

I.O.U. 1 Wii

For those of you finding it impossible to find a Wii for Christmas Nintendo is offering rainchecks. From Chris Koeler

To help assuage consumers’ complaints that they can’t find a Wii, Nintendo announced this morning that they will begin a ‘Wii Raincheck’ program. If you pay in full for a Wii before Christmas, you can get a raincheck that you’ll be able to redeem for a Wii in January.

Fils-Aime said that the program will be run entirely through retailer GameStop, who he says has “many tens of thousands” of certificates.

The program, says Fils-Aime, is for people who want “something to put under the tree.”

“A certificate needs to be matched to a specific Wii which needs to be matched to a specific store. Only this retailer has the ability to pull off such a program,” said Fils-Aime in regards to why GameStop will be the exclusive partner for this initiative.

Reggie Fils-Aime also said this morning that Wii will be available this weekend in many stores, advertised in circulars for Best Buy, Circuit City, etc.
