They've always said that the previous iteration of the "Revolution" controller wasn't quite final, but now that Nintendo has unvieled what is presumably the final controller design for the Wii (though Nintendo is still calling it a prototype, and might tweak a few things), we thought we'd lay out what exactly this Wiimote is, and why it makes Nintendo so darn smarmy all the time. First off, the new version unvieled by Nintendo on Tuesday includes a built-in speaker -- the addition of which lengthened the controller slightly -- along with minor interface tweaks like swapping out "a" and "b" for "1" and "2" buttons and other icon changes. GameSpot is also reporting that this Bluetooth wireless version is quite a bit heavier than the feather-light wired prototypes, and that the nunchaku attachment is tweaked slightly in shape and button design. As for the actual operation of the controller, that is managed by sensors within the Wiimote, in tandem with a sensor bar located on your TV, which can watch for movement in full 3D space. A better equivilant to Sony's new PS3 controller design unveiled on monday would actually be the Wiimote's nunchucka attachment, which also includes an accelerometer. While all of this motion sensing might provide an easy learning curve in some instances, the number of buttons available to the user, including dual trigger buttons ("c" and "z") on the nunchucka, a trigger and face button ("b" and "a") on the Wiimote, along a bunch of other face buttons, could make things a bit more complicated than anticipated. With that said, we'll be playing with the Wii on the E3 show floor tomorrow so we're sure it won't take long to find out if our fears come to fruition.

If Nintendo was looking for something that it could wave under the noses of its rivals and say "ha ha, look what we've got", then point to the Resident Evil game, just exclusively announced for Wii by Capcom.
The revelation was made known at E3, with Capcom resisting the temptation to release gameplay and story details, only saying that the survival horror game will make good use of the Wii's inventive controller.
"The next-generation console Wii is garnering much attention with its groundbreaking new controller," read an official company statement. "The new Resident Evil game for the console will combine the series' intense gaming experience and atmosphere with the revolutionary control system of the Wii."
The decision has clearly been born out of the enormous success enjoyed by Resident Evil 4 on the GameCube. Resident Evil 5, which is in development for Xbox 360 and PS3, could possibly also appear on the Wii - we just don't know. We're pretty excited by this, so stay tuned for any further news.

Looking forward to Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess is a cast-iron certainty when you're a games journalist. But that 'looking forward to'-ness literally bubbled over when we heard about the Wii version's interactive sword-wielding, fishing-rod fun, courtesy of its special controller.
This latest, non-format specific E3 trailer, despite its brevity, has done little to lessen our pounding heartbeats. Battles on horseback, monstrous foes, fantastical lands - it looks lovely. If you're a Nintendo fan, you'll be just as excited as we are about its impending end-of-2006 release.

Welcome to Disaster. In fact, Disaster: Day of Crisis. In development for Nintendo Wii over at Monolith, Disaster's an action game dealing with a wave of natural disasters striking the US of A and rogue Special Forces operatives taking advantage of the chaos and stealing a nuclear weapon. It's down to Ray, a former member of an elite rescue task force, to save the day. Sounds a bit like a plotline from 24.
Anyway, not much else has been said about the game, other than that it'll apparently use "cutting-edge physics and gripping visuals" to "re-create the sheer terror of major catastrophes. Oh, and this: "Players race a car down a mountain to escape a roaring pyroclastic flow, dodge toppling buildings during a devastating earthquake and swim for their lives in a raging flood. No matter what happens, fight to survive."

Capcom's Nintendo DS crime-y, puzzle-solving-y, lawyer-y and courtroom drama-y game Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney is getting a sequel.
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Justice For All, as the new DS game is called, finds defense attorney Wright tackling four new cases littered with fresh characters. As with the first game, you'll be navigating the game interface via the touchscreen, collecting evidence, cross-examining key witnesses to the crimes, analysing testimonies and ultimately attempting to serve justice.
In addition, Justice for All has new gameplay features, including Psyche-Lock and a new life bar that represents Phoenix's status in court. Elaborating on Psyche-Lock, Capcom has explained that "some witnesses may be keeping the truth under tight lock and key (aka the "Psyche-Lock" state), so in order to break them down, successfully open up their Psyche-Locks with a series of correct questions or catch them on their inconsistent testimony," and has this to say about the new life bar:
"...by presenting incorrect evidence or following misguided attempts to break Psyche-Locks, Phoenix's life bar will go down; the only way to regain this stat is to successfully open a witness's Psyche-Lock".
So far, Capcom has only announced Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Justice For All for North America, where it'll release in early 2007. We'll be sure to keep hitting Capcom on the head with a gavel and demanding a release for Europe.

Wii Sports? Is Nintendo not aware how slightly crude that reads in European territories? Obviously not, because it's been announced and it's a compilation of three (liable to increase) sporting ventures for you to get your batting hands around. Keep your dirty minds at bay, people.
Designed to make full use of Wii controller's tilting and swinging abilities, 1-4 players will be able to swing a racquet in Tennis, deftly performing lobs, slices and spinners while the console controls your movement. Baseball is for 1-2 people, and is all about timing. Golf, finally, is a single-player game with enhanced interaction.
It's possible that further games could be added to the Wii Sports roster before its TBA release. Don't suppose there's any chance of a cricket game, is there Nintendo?

Even though we enjoyed Nintendo oldie Excitebike, we can't help but feel that Excite Truck sounds like one of the most ironic gaming titles ever. Is there anything to get excited about in a truck racing game?
Well, very possibly actually. This new Wii announcement may feature basic accelerator and brake button control, but by tilting the Wii Remote, you'll find yourself with a makeshift steering wheel used to physically steer your beast.
Add into the equation massive jumps, bigger landings and off-road courses that get deformed in real-time, and Excite Truck may actually be reasonably exciting after all. No details on release date or number of players yet, but stay tuned.

Project H.A.M.M.E.R.'s a Nintendo Wii action-adventure in which players control of a cyborg prototype decked out with "an extraordinary weapon" - ooer - and battling robots that are assaulting US cities.
No prizes for guessing that the Wii Remote and Nunchuk play a key role in the action. Apparently, you'll be swinging the Wii Remote, which in turn swings the cyborg's "hammer of amazing strength" (the extraordinary weapon), to batter foes and using the Nunchuk in your other hand to manoeuvre through the environment. Nintendo promises non-stop action and plenty of destruction, with enemy robots smashed to smithereens by your super-tool.
A release date for Project H.A.M.M.E.R. will be announced at a later date.

The Time article already leaked it, but if it's official confirmation and screens you're after, then yes, WarioWare: Smooth Moves is bringing its crazy-assed fun onto the Wii. And when we say 'crazy-assed', we mean it - Nintendo hints that this is the wackiest WarioWare blast yet.
The game revolves around the discovery of a Foam Baton, which awards the game brand new 'smooth' moves, translated into mini-game merriment via the Wii remote. There'll be roughly 200 'out there' challenges to enjoy. No news on how many players can participate as yet, but we're sure we'll find out. One day.

Metroid Prime 3 has been given its full official title of Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, with its first official screenshot from the E3 floor.
There are also a few new details too. You'll be charged with destroying corrupted Phazon seeds, which involves a considerable amount of space exploration and an eventual showdown with Dark Samus.
Nintendo is also promising a "quantum leap in first-person control". Moving Samus is activated by the Nunchuk controller, while aiming is achieved via the pointer. It's being labelled by the publisher as "the ultimate device for the first-person shooter genre", with the promise of controls outside of the usual genre boundaries.

Revealed at Nintendo's pre-E3 press conference, Super Mario Galaxy is Nintendo's debut Wii outing for its moustachioed mascot and we can bring you the first few details about the game.
As the title suggests, Super Mario Galaxy takes place in space as Mario, with the normally hapless heroine Princess Peach in tow, heads off in pursuit of an escaped creature. On the interstellar adventure the pair will explore various planets and alien landscapes, and will encounter a variety of new and familiar enemies.
The game will take full advantage of the Wii controller's motion-sensing features and the dungaree-wearing hero will have a host of new moves - including some gravity defying jumps - executed by tilting, pointing and shaking the Wii-mote.
More should be revealed when E3 opens its doors tomorrow.

The existence of Star Fox DS was revealed at Nintendo's E3 press conference earlier today and our tractor beam has successfully pulled in the first shots and details about the game.
Still a working title and pencilled in for release on 28 August in the US, Star Fox DS promises to introduce a new element of strategy to the space shooter by giving players a commander's view of the 3D rendered missions, as Fox McCloud and friends battle to protect the Lylat system.
The touch screen will be used to chart interstellar routes before engaging enemies, capturing bases and progressing across the map.
Up to eight players will be able to blast each other into tiny bits of space debris over a local wireless connection or up to four players can lock lasers after hooking up using the Nintendo WiFi Connection service.

Nintendo has announced the full list of first-party handheld titles that will be shown at E3. The list features a heavy DS bias, with only one Game Boy Advance game on the list in the form of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team, but the company has treated us to a few brand-new product announcements that we've detailed below. More information should be available at the show itself, but here's what we know about the new games so far.
Chibi-Robo: Park Patrol is an adventure follow-up to the previous Chibi-Robo game. The story follows Chibi-Robo as he ventures into the great outdoors, where the flowers have been transformed by evil monsters. The character can use buggies, cars, and boats across lawns and ponds. He is also equipped with a squirter to fend off enemies, and dances to give life back to the park flowers. No release date has been given for the game as yet.
Clubhouse Games is a card, board, and clubhouse game collection that includes checkers, darts and poker. The game can be played by up to eight people from one game card over wireless game sharing, and will feature a Pictochat-like interface for communicating with friends. The game will also feature bowling, backgammon, bridge and billiards, and forms part of Nintendo's Touch Generations library, which is intended for nongamers.
Custom Robo Arena is an action role-playing game set in a sci-fi landscape, where players fight toward the Custom Robo championship. You will be able to upgrade your Robo with unique parts and create a unique warrior that can be taken online over Nintendo Wi-Fi connection. There's also multiplayer with multicard play and DS download play. The DS touch screen is used to customize the robot as well as clean it up after battle.
Diddy Kong Racing DS was also announced by Nintendo today, although the company didn't offer any more information prior to the show. We'll have to see if the company chooses to show it at the show when it opens on Wednesday.
DK: King of Swing DS is an action game starring Donkey Kong. A sequel to the GBA game, King of Swing DS sees Donkey Kong swinging and climbing across levels that make full use of the console's dual screens. Adventure mode will feature Diddy Kong as a subcharacter, and there will also be new moves, items, and minigames available. There is also a four-player mode that will make use of multicart and DS download play, and will offer the choice of Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong, or Funky Kong.
DS Air is the working title for a new flight simulator from Nintendo. The aim will be to take elite strike fighters and hunt down a mad dictator, and it will be a realistic sim with customizable fighters and weapons. Locations include land, sea, and air, and DS Air will feature a co-op mode that can be played over Nintendo Wi-Fi.
Hotel Dusk: Room 215 is an intriguing new graphic adventure game that places you in Los Angeles in 1979. As Kyle Hide, an ex-cop turned salesman, you must investigate the mysterious room of the title and solve the mystery of Room 215. Holding the DS console like a book, you use the touch screen to grill characters, search for clues, and solve puzzles.
Kirby is a provisional title, but Nintendo has announced that it is a new action game in which Kirby's copy abilities have been massively boosted. You can use the stylus to mix and match copy abilities, so that you can burn trees with fire ability or freeze water with the ice ability. The title also has subgames that can be played locally by up to four players, both via multicard and DS download play.
The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, due for release in Q4 2006, sees gaming favorite Link tackle a new adventure. This time, he's washed ashore a mysterious island and must find the way back to his companions with the aid of a fairy. The game will be played almost entirely using the stylus--not just when controlling Link, but also when solving puzzles and making notes on the map. There's also a two-player wireless minigame available, involving a race against time to collect Force Gems.
Magical Vacation (working title) is a game that tasks players with the rescue of their teacher and classmates from the Will O' Wisp magical academy. As players progress through the game, they will fight monsters to earn experience points and buy new weapons, gaining levels and power as they go. As well as the solo game, players can team up with up to five friends wirelessly to take on enemies in a special "Amigo" dungeon. The game will be controlled almost exclusively with the stylus and features turn-based combat that accommodates melee and ranged attacks.
Mario Hoops 3-on-3 is due for release on September 11 and, as you'd expect, sees Mario enter the world of basketball. Each team will contain three figures from the Mario universe, although it's only possible for four human players to play simultaneously, so expect some NPCs to make up the numbers.
Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis is an action-puzzle sequel to be released on September 25 that puts the player in control of Mario toys in a bid to save Pauline--one of the franchise's early characters, not seen for decades. In addition to playing through the normal game solo, players can create their own maps and send them across the world via the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, as well as downloading those that others have created.
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team, slated for a September 18 release, turns the player into a Pokémon character for the first time. The land is being ravaged by numerous natural disasters, and you must team up with a partner Pokémon to rescue others in trouble and save the day. Most of the game is set in dungeon environments, and players will employ various strategies to progress. No multiplayer element to the game has been announced yet but is available for the GameBoy Advance under the title Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team.
Starfox DS is a 3D space-based shooter due for release on August 28 and has the player jumping aboard an Arwing fighter and blasting through a branching set of missions. Players can also dogfight with their friends, or play cooperatively--either with seven other players using the local wireless functionality, or with three others across the world on the global Wi-Fi Connection. In co-op mode there's an added strategic element that will see the team commander drawing on the map the route the group should take through the level.
Sudoku Gridmaster will be released on June 26 and feature more than 400 of the popular number puzzles. There are four difficulty settings and plenty of in-game tips to enable the player to become an expert, with all of the puzzles hand-picked by the experts at Nikoli, the original creators of sudoku. As you solve puzzles you'll win stars that will let you unlock new challenges.
Tenchu: Dark Secret is the latest instalment in the stealth-action franchise and will be released on August 21. You play a ninja assassin assigned to protect a princess across more than 40 single-player missions, using a mixture of sneaking skills and fighting techniques. Players can also challenge a friend to wireless one-on-one combat and buy, sell, and trade items across the global Wi-Fi connection.

As part of a game reel showcasing a slew of games headed to the Wii, Nintendo showed the first footage of a new game in the Fire Emblem series. The very brief snippet seemed to consist entirely of an anime cutscene, so nothing resembling gameplay was shown. However, the footage contained brief scenes of a young man fighting for his life in close quarters, and also showed a female character with a sparrow alighting from her outstretched arm. It's reasonable to suspect these two will be the protagonists in the game.
The Fire Emblem series is known for delivering richly complex stories and challenging turn-based battles. Stay tuned to GameSpot for more information about Fire Emblem for the Wii.

Though Wii and DS got most of the love at Nintendo's pre-E3 press conference today, the GameCube is still a contender. Its replacement, the Wii, won't even arrive until an as-yet-undisclosed date sometime in the fourth quarter of 2006, so there's still plenty of time to rack up more hours on the GameCube.

There was a lot of excitement for Nintendo's pre-Electronic Entertainment Expo press conference today, and the company did not disappoint. Reggie Fils-Aime, Nintendo's EVP of sales and marketing walked the enthusiastic audience through the company's next-gen plans, as well as its upcoming GameCube and Nintendo DS games.
First-party titles--especially Nintendo's classic franchises--claimed the lion's share of the spotlight. Nintendo fans will be particularly excited about Super Mario Galaxy (working title), which is a Mario platformer for the Wii, and the revelation that Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess will be a Wii launch title. In fact, Twilight Princess will get two launches: a GameCube version will hit shelves on the same day as the Wii version.
Also in development now are other follow-ups to classic series, including Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Fire Emblem, WarioWare: Smooth Moves. Nintendo is working on a number of all-new titles, announced for the first time today:
-Disaster: Day of Crisis is an action game where the player tries to recapture a hijacked nuclear weapon against a backdrop of natural catastrophes, including floods, volcanic eruptions, and earthquakes.
-Excite Truck is an arcade racer that features trucks getting big air in the vein of the NES classic Excitebike.
-Project H.A.M.M.E.R. is an action adventure game in which the player will use both the nunchaku controller and the Wii remote to control a cyborg armed with an immense hammer.
-Wii Sports is a sports game that incorporates golf, tennis, and baseball. According to Iwata's comments during the Nintendo press conference, the game is designed to allow new gamers to compete on an even footing with experienced gamers.
All told, Nintendo says that when the E3 show floor opens here tomorrow, 27 Wii games will be playable. That includes both first-party and third-party titles, and Nintendo has released an extensive list of third-party Wii titles now in development.

The Nintendo conference seemed to be the perfect opposite of Sony's conference yesterday. It was polished, the presenters were poised, and the demos conveyed exactly the message they were aiming for. Notable info includes 27 playable Wii titles on the E3 floor, a speaker in the Wii controller, a StarFox title for the DS, and a confirmation of motion sensor in the nunchuck attachment. There will be two versions of Twilight Princess (one for Wii, one for GC) and they'll both be out on Wii launch day. Launch is slated for Q4 of this year. The presenters kept the launch price and date under wraps as the tone of the event was inspiration, not information. The number of playable games available this week confirms their commitment to a launch date this year, and the hilarious tennis game played onstage by the Nintendo honchos and the contest winner made their 'playing = believing' slogan really hit home. More flash than substance, but a solid presentation overall

Nintendo has finally shredded the wraps around Shigeru Miyamoto's new Mario game. It's called Super Mario Galaxy and it uses the Wii's freestyle controller to allow Mario to run, jump, catch hold of shooting stars using the pointer, and flick objects at enemies on rotating worlds.
As you may already have read, Nintendo's also planning to release Zelda: Twilight Princess in Wii and GameCube versions - the latter shorn of the gesture and pointer control options, and also devoid of widescreen - with both due out on the same day as the console during Q4 2006.
Also on show during Nintendo's pre-E3 conference were Excite-Truck, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Warioware: Smooth Moves, Fire Emblem, Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles, Sonic Wild Fire (also referred to as Hyper Sonic at one point), and several original titles.
Those included Ubisoft's FPS game Red Steel, one called Necro-Nesia, Nintendo title Project HAMMER, which is what it sounds like, and Wii Sports, the focal point of several demonstrations. Sports includes tennis, baseball and golf games with stylised bobblehead-esque characters, all played using the freestyle controller. During a demo, Miyamoto was racing back and forward across the stage to return forehands and backhands, showing how you can serve, lob and apply top-spin.
Many of the games were shown as CG videos, or in some form of video - and there was also a crowd-pleasing introduction featuring Miyamoto in full conductor's get-up using the wand like a baton to control an orchestra, whose music soared and slowed to reflect the speed and character of his movement.
What's more, Nintendo said there would be 27 games playable on its stand tomorrow, as well as many more on video.

Nintendo DS owners can look forward to a handful of potential blockbuster first party titles over the coming year, with the Japanese company revealing the likes of Diddy Kong Racing, Yoshi's Island 2 and Starfox during the latter stages of its pre-E3 conference this morning, with more on Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, recently shown during GDC.
We caught a quick glimpse of an updated DS version of Diddy Kong Racing, Rare's fondly remembered N64-era Mario Kart clone. Using roughly identical-looking mechanics as Mario Kart DS (and clean, impressive 3D visuals), this looks like being another obvious big-hitter for the legion of karting fans, particularly if it includes the same Wi-Fi functionality.
Also shown off briefly was an updated version of Final Fantasy III, sprucing up the gameplay and graphics of the ageing RPG classics in ways that should give Square-Enix lovers palpitations.
Zelda, meanwhile, will "pick up from where Wind Waker left off," and using the same cute cel-shaded visual style that caused such a stir a few years back. The brief gameplay footage showed touch control battles, with players loosing off cannons on board their ship, and a scaled-down isometric viewpoint for the main dungeon exploration.
But that's not all - also announced (but not given any airtime) were the likes of Mario Vs DK: March of the Minis, Yoshi's Island 2, Starfox DS, DK King of Swing DS, Mario Hoops 3 on 3, Touch Generations, Hotel Dusk: Room 215, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team (available as Red Rescue Team on GBA), Elite Beat Agents (the Western take on Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan!), and Chibi Robo: Park Patrol.
In total, 100 new DS games are promised, but Nintendo wasn't giving much away in terms of release dates, except to say that they're all coming "this year" according to the accompanying press release. In all, a pretty busy time in prospect for DS owners, and plenty of big names to look forward to among a clutch of innovative unknowns.
