Nintendo Wiimote To Feature Mic & VOIP

 

According to MegaGames, the Nintendo Wii is going to feature a mic on the remote. Fine, that's pretty useful, but they they go on to say that the Wii will feature voice over IP services as well. This part we think is purely speculation, but you decide.

Ναι ειναι γνωστο απο την E3 οτι θα υπαρχει και μικροφωνο μεσα στο Wiimote οποτε λογικα θα υποστηριζει και VOIP, δεν βρισκω καποιο λογο για το αντιθετο καθως VOIP υποστηριζει και το DS.

Nintendo Forecasts Strong Wii Sales, Talks Price

 

At a news conference held in Osaka, Japan, Nintendo announced its preliminary market projections for the company's next-generation console, Wii.

 

According to Bloomberg Japan, Nintendo stated it expects to ship six million units of Wii hardware, as well as 17 million units of software, between the console's launch and March 31, 2007, which marks the end of Nintendo's current fiscal year.

 

During the news conference, Nintendo's Senior Managing Director Yoshihiro Mori said that Wii will cost no more than 25,000 yen, which roughly equates to 221 U.S. dollars with current exchange rates at the time of this news posting. Nintendo has yet to announce an official price for Wii, nor is an official price announcement expected until the console is closer to release.

 

As for launch date, Nintendo stated in its pre-E3 media briefing that the console will arrive during the fourth quarter of 2006. However, gaming site Kotaku recently reported that Nintendo is aiming for an October launch, though that can't be substantiated at this time.

 

A few months ago, Nintendo President Satoru Iwata stated he would consider Wii a failure if Nintendo could not sell more units than GameCube in its lifespan. Given Nintendo's projections, Wii could potentially sell in six months a third of the units GameCube has sold in total since its 2001 launch.

220 Eυρώ maximum, οπότε μπορούμε να ελπίζουμε και λίγο παρακάτω. Αρκεί βέβαια να μή δυναμώσει το yen, το οποίο μέχρι στιγμής δυναμώνει συνεχώς. Η Nintendo είχε κέρδη 39% λιγότερα λόγω ακριβώς της ισοτιμίας των νομισμάτων.

 

Τό πιό πιθανό είναι worldwide launch με κάποιο μικρό παράθυρο μερικών εβδομάδων.

 

Αλλά 6 εκατομμύρια Wii σε διάστημα 5 μηνών μου φαίνονται λίγα. Με τόσο ενθουσιασμό που επικρατεί γύρω από το Wii, όσα και να βγάλουνε θα γίνουν sold-out αυτομάτως.

 

Και 17 εκατομμύρια παιχνίδια αναλογούν πάνω κάτω σε 3 παιχνίδια ανά κονσόλα.

 

Χμμμμμ, μου φαίνεται πρέπει να κάνουμε pre-order γιατί δεν μας βλέπω καλά.

Σύμφωνα με τις οδηγίες που έδωσε η Nintendo στους αντιπροσώπους της, οι λάμπες αλογόνου προκαλούν πρόβλημα στην λειτουργία του ασύρματου χειριστηρίου του Wii, καθώς όταν το φως πέφτει ανάμεσα στο χειριστήριο και την τηλεόραση, επηρεάζεται η λειτουργία σκόπευσης. Η είδηση αυτή αποτελεί ένα σημαντικό πρόβλημα για τα σύγχρονα σπίτια, μιας και η συγκεκριμένη τεχνολογία λαμπτήρων έχει ήδη αρχίσει να εγκαθίσταται σε ολοένα και περισσότερα νοικοκυριά. Σε επίπεδο καταστημάτων, είναι σύνηθες το φαινόμενο για λόγους αισθητικής, να υπάρχουν σποτ αλογόνου στις βιτρίνες και γιʼ αυτό το λόγο η είδηση ίσως προκαλέσει πρόβλημα στους λιανέμπορους. Μέχρι σήμερα δεν έχουν διευκρινιστεί πολλές λεπτομέρειες για τα stands του Wii που θα λειτουργούν για προωθητικούς λόγους στα καταστήματα, αλλά με τα νέα δεδομένα που φαίνεται να τίθενται σήμερα, ίσως υπάρξουν κάποιες διαφοροποιήσεις. Κλείνοντας με την είδηση, ήδη άρχισαν να κυκλοφορούν φήμες για διάθεση του Wii μέσα στον Οκτώβριο, στην προσπάθεια της Nintendo να προλάβει το λανσάρισμα του PlayStation3.

Αυτά που λέει το gameover.gr είναι 100% μπαρούφες.

 

Έψαξα να βρώ την "είδηση" αυτή σε κάποιο διεθνές site και δεν βρήκα απολύτως τίποτα.

 

Επίσης, για να καταλαβαινόμαστε, το χειρηστήριο χρησιμοποιεί υπέρυθρες μεταξύ των άλλων, οι οποίες φυσικά και επηρεάζονται από το φώς του περιβάλλοντα χώρου, αλλά όχι στο βαθμό που αναφέρεται στο άρθρο αυτό.

 

Είδες ποτέ εσύ το χειρηστήριο της τηλεόρασής σου να μήν πιάνει όταν ανάβεις τις λάμπες αλογόνου στο δωμάτιό σου???

Ορίστε, καλά το είπα ότι το άρθρο βρομοκαπάει "υπερβολή"

Halogen Lights Confuse Wiimote, Says Nintendo Rep

 

A tipster just sent word on what a Nintendo rep said about the Wii. Some of it is rather obvious, some of it is surprising. Really surprising.

 

•The promotional material that the rep had with her only contained white consoles and peripherals. The Wii Classic controller was included, as well as the Zapper, as possible peripherals to be utilized at launch.

 

 

•There is concern about stores using halogen lighting. Tons of halogen spotlights scattered about may give everything a much warmer and more ambient feel. However, this particular type of lighting can throw off the aiming of the Wii controller when the lights are angled down through the path of the signal. So for people with halogen track-lighting in front of the TV, this could be a problem.

Wii's New Weapon Revealed ???

Could Nintendo's Wii find new appeal amongst the Japanese, X-Factor addicts and "Friday Night" gamers...

Posted: 23:36 on 25 May 2006

By: Chris Leyton

 

Nintendo's intention to extend the Wii to everybody, breaking down traditional boundaries and expanding the world of videogames to all, may take on a new twist, if a recent web domain registration is anything to go by.

 

Although wiikaraoke.com currently points to Nintendo's main site, the registration has nonetheless ignited speculation that a microphone will join the recently confirmed speaker in the Wii remote. With speculation so rife, we'd like to add to this, just think about the music game potential with one mic and the virtual drumkit seen in the E3 Wii Music demonstration.

 

The remote has already become the central point in Nintendo's quest for a wider audience, becoming more significant than the machine itself in depicting Nintendo's future vision; extra functionality geared towards a mainstream audience would only continue this. Despite making the Wii remote sound suspiciously like the virtual equivalent of a Swiss Army Knife, it's easy to imagine Nintendo's conquest to make the device as recognisable as the iPod to the masses.

 

The suggestions also lines up an interesting conflict between Nintendo and Sony in the Karaoke stakes, where Singstar has become a popular addition to the Playstation library, leading the charge in signifying Sony's online vision with the Playstation3.

Team Ninja Leader Discusses Wii

 

In an interview conducted by Game Informer magazine, Team Ninja Developer Head Tomonobu Itagaki discussed Nintendo's next-generation console, Wii, including any plans to develop for the system and the console's compatibility with Team Ninja's franchises.

 

During the interview, Itagaki noted he is very interested in the Wii controller. However, at this time he is engaged in three other projects - Dead or Alive Xtreme 2, Dead or Alive Cronus and Ninja Gaiden 2 - and is too busy to work on an original Wii game.

 

On the topic of Ninja Gaiden 2, which is presently without a solid platform, Itagaki expressed concerns with the control scheme if the game was made for Wii. According to the Tecmo developer, Wii's controller might might be a potential problem with sword control, especially in the realm of drawing the weapon backwards and swinging. Also, Itagaki worried enemies would need to have their intelligence reduced to compensate for the control issue.

 

Itagaki stated that people possess different strength levels, hence making development more difficult rather than easier, since the development team would have to anticipate an extensive variation in the speed different people move the controller. For these reasons, Itagaki was unsure if a game like Ninja Gaiden 2 could work on Wii.

 

Currently, Tecmo is preparing Super Swing Golf Pangya for Wii, slated for a Q1 2007 release, so the company is in possession of a Wii development kit, although it's unknown if Itagaki has had the opportunity to work with it yet.
