So we’ve seen a ton of accessories for WiiSports over the years, however most of them cover just a few of the sports like tennis, baseball and golf. And since everyone knows their favorite is bowling, CTA Digital has come up with the Wii Bowling Ball.
We’re hearing that Nintendo’s Wii MotionPlus accessory is beginning to ship from Amazon, with preorder customers receiving emails telling them their Wiimote add-on is on its way. The MotionPlus dongle, which clips onto the base of the Wii’s controller, went up for preorder back at the start of May, priced at $19.99; it brings with it greater motion recognition accuracy.
Thrustmaster has just announced a brand new accessory pack for the Nintendo Wii that’s sure to improve your score. It’s called the Tennis Duo Pack NW and it’s the perfect companion for your Wii tennis game.
We’ve had a busy week here at SlashGear, with news from two shows – games-expo E3 and Computex – together with the arrival of the Palm Pre. The latter may have just a few days in the spotlight before Apple’s WWDC keynote on Monday, where we’re expecting to see a new iPhone unveiled, so get yourself up to speed with our Palm Pre review in advance of our WWDC live-blog at 10am PT tomorrow.
Somewhere, in a dark corner of a Nintendo lab, is the company’s own alternative to the DSi. According to the company’s global president, Satoru Iwata, Nintendo finalized the hardware on different handheld gaming system sometime in the past three years, but in the end decided to can the project rather than release it.
Nintendo have announced that they will begin selling a black Wii in Japan come August, shortly after their new red DSi goes on sale there in July. The black console will be the first time the Wii has been available in a color other than white, though Nintendo did initially demonstrate it in various hues.
The Nintendo press event at E3 2009 is done and over now but we’re still giving you the scoop on what went down. We got a look at the Wii Vitality Sensor today, which is a new gadget that’s meant to complement the Wii Fit line up.
Nintendo E3 2009 is going on right now and we just heard that the game maker will be releasing a brand new version of their classic, Super Mario Bros, but this time for the Wii. This version is called New Super Mario Bros. and it’s sure to be a trip down memory lane for many.
The new game will be in the classic 2D style and will be a side-scroller. You will have the ability to play four-player co-op. New power-ups and game play features have bee added as well, which is pretty cool for those of us that enjoyed the original game.
Also included is an auto-zoom feature that pans around and zooms in to make it possible to keep all four players on the screen at once. That’s good news for those that tend to get lost in co-op mode, but might be a bit distracting–we’ll just have to wait and see. You can expect New Super Mario Bros. for the Wii to be released by Christmas.
Well, isn’t this thing a sight to behold. One of the main marketing attributes of the Nintendo DSi is it’s svelte form factor and generally small frame. So, adding on the Nyko Zoom Case seems to be a bit counterintuitive. But hey, what do I know?
