Many high profile games for Nintendo's soon to be released Wii console will go on sale for less than £30 at the machine's launch, including Far Cry Vengeance, Super Mario Galaxy and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.
All three games are on sale for £30 with web retailer ChoicesUK.com, and other big games like Call of Duty 3 are priced at an also-reasonable £33.
The bargains don't stop there, either, with Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Red Steel, Sonic and the Secret Rings, Super Smash Bros Brawl, Splinter Cell Double Agent and Wario Ware: Smooth Moves also offered with a wallet-friendly £30 price tag.
The full retail price for these titles is quoted as £40 but ChoicesUK aren't the only site to give decent discounts, with Play.com also slashing the cost of many Wii games to £33.
With Wii arriving at a more-than-expected £180, it's great to see that the games - which, although boasting motion-sensitive gaming, can't compete with the visual clout of 'true' next-gen titles - will turn up at an impulse-buy price.

In less than a month, the Nintendo Wii will be available across America. However, it now appears that retailers are already setting up retail displays for the next-gen console, which itself won't be available until Sunday, November 19.
According to a series of online reports, the local Target in Lafayette, Louisiana, has already launched displays offering Wii merchandise. Called "endcaps" in retailer parlance, the display offers a variety of accessories for the next-gen console, including colored sleeves for the so-called "Wiimote" controller in red, blue, green, and black. Also on display are booklets for Wii game discs, which will be the same size and shape as regular DVDs, even though the console does not offer DVD playback like the Xbox, Xbox 360, PlayStation 2, or PlayStation 3 do.

Today Japanese gaming site Game Watch released a few details about Ryoukiki no Susume, an edutainment game for the Nintendo DS by Taito. Reportedly, the game's objective is to "increase the number of usable hands" for the user.
In Ryoukiki, players are encouraged to use the hand they normally don't. That is, righties play with their left hands, and lefties play with their right. The idea is to activate the less-used hemisphere of the brain--in left-handers, the right hemisphere is said to dominate, and vice versa.
This is accomplished by running users through a series of touch-pen-based minigames using their wrong hand. The games range from easy tasks, like popping colored bubbles with the touch pen, to more difficult challenges, such as dragging a cursor around the screen to collect certain shapes while avoiding others. The game will use the wireless capabilities of the DS for head-to-head competitions and ad hoc play and to distribute a demo version of itself to other players.
The game is set for release this December.

Portable remakes of Super NES-era Final Fantasy games, such as Final Fantasy III for the Nintendo DS, have proven quite popular among Japanese gamers. Now, Square Enix is prepping Final Fantasy VI Advance for the Game Boy Advance. Released in Japan in 1994, FFVI was both the first title in the series to use the active time battle system and the last FF game for the Super NES. Today in preparation for the game's November 30 launch in Japan, an official Web site has gone live. At the moment, the site provides just basic information on the history and gameplay of FFVI, as well as a couple of character sketches for Tina and Lock.

Pokémon Diamond and Pearl are the hottest-selling games in Japan at the moment. The games sold an unprecedented 1.6 million copies their first week and have since gone on to ship around 2.5 million units in Japan.
The official Pokémon Web site issued a statement yesterday regarding a problem in the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl software.
Although occurring only rarely under special conditions, according to Nintendo, the bug causes players to become stuck in walls in certain rooms. In some instances it can even lead to the malfunctioning or loss of saved game data. The games' Web site gives instructions on how to get around these issues.
In addition, it was announced that a patch will be distributed through DS Stations at participating stores throughout Japan and at all Pokémon Center branches on October 27.
It seems unlikely that these problems will affect North American or European gamers, because the fixes will almost certainly be added to the games before they go on sale.

Nintendo has raised its DS shipment forecast to 20 million units after net profits rose by more than 48 per cent during the first half of the financial year.
Profits for the six month period ending September 30 stood at YEN 54.35 billion (EUR 361 million) - up from YEN 36.6 billion (EUR 243 million) a year previously.
Revenues were up by almost 70 per cent to reach YEN 298.8 billion (EUR 1.98 billion, while operating profit more than tripled to YEN 67.11 billion (EUR 446 million).
Nintendo attributed the rise to increase global sales of the DS handheld; 10.9 million units were sold during first half of the year, up from 3.57 million units during the same period a year ago.
As a result, Nintendo has upped its forecast and now predicts sales of 20 million units, rather than 17 million, by the end of the financial year. The company also expects to sell more DS games, raising its projection from 7.5 million to 8.2 million units. The forecast for Wii sales remains at 6 million consoles and 17 million games by the end of the financial year.
Nintendo also earned foreign exchange gains worth YEN 24.1 billion (EUR 160 million), due to a weak yen.
There was no change to the company's end of year forecast, which predicts net profits of YEN 100 billion (EUR 665 million) and revenues of YEN 740 billion (EUR 4.9 billion).

After the critical success of DS, the company saw net profits of 54.35bn Yen (£242.8m) between April and September.
The handheld sold 10.9m units worldwide in the same period. And the success looks set to continue as Nintendo raises its worldwide sales forecast for the DS from 17m to 20m units for the one-year period ending March 2007.
It would seem Nintendo's drive to pull in new gamers with software such as Brain Training, Nintendogs and Animal Crossing is working a treat.
With Yoshi's Island DS, Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin, Legend of Zelda Phantom Hourglass and many more triple-A games on the way, it's not about to stop.

Nintendo's all about the Touch Generations this holiday season, with Brain Age leading the charge. Just to make sure we journalist types don't forget about training our brains, Nintendo sent out this lovely cerebral snowglobe. OMG RARE. I'll sell this on eBay for $1500 because I'm going to say that it's a PS3. With me luck.

Via SPONG\
Check this out! Toys R Us and Nintendo of America have erected this immense three storey high Wii advert across the toy retailer’s flagship Times Square store this week.
Aside from questions of what this must have cost (and who picked up the tab) SPOnG was intrigued to know what regular New Yorkers thought of the ad. As gamers we are clearly all aware what Wii is and what the father and daughter are holding in their hands on the ad.
But what about the non-gaming/casual market that Nintendo is gunning for with Wii? The lapsed, the ladies and the elderly?
SPOnG asked our man in Manhattan to get out there on the street to poll a select band of passers-by.
Here’s what they had to say:
“What's a "why"?” (Meredith, 28)
“It should have a Nintendo logo on there, Nintendo is like Kleenex.” (Chris, 29)
“It just looks like they both have remotes.” (Derek, 24)
“It looks like the guy from land of the lost and his daughter... Is it something to do with wifi?” (John, 35)
“I dunno, is it a new TV or something?” (Chet, 34)
“Why do they have two remotes?" (Ali, 27)
So there we go. While our street-level straw poll is admittedly limited to a narrow demographic of twenty and thirty-somethings, it is still clear that the non-gaming public needs a little bit more educating on what a Wii actually IS.
What do YOU think of the ad? Do you think it does its job? Or is it, as the non-gaming public we polled above suggest, perhaps too clever for its own good?
Let us know in the forums.

Heres an excerpt:
Free wireless internet on the go is an attractive proposal. The great thing about the DS Opera Browser (available now) is that it lets you view the REAL internet - not some cheap mobile version with ridiculously limited web page availablilty.
This means that you can log into your hotmail account to check and send emails, leap onto a news site, have a natter on your favourite forum or swing by CVG.co.uk to check out the latest gaming headlines.
Getting set up is identical to setting up your DS for online gameplay. Once you've found your access point, the DS takes a few seconds to log in and then it's ready to go. Unfortunately, everything you do after that will be anything but quick.
On the surface, this is a great piece of software. The interface uses the touch screen superbly and makes browsing without a mouse and keyboard as effortless as it could possibly be. You can view pages in two configurations; SSR mode and Overview mode.
