Has a year of uninspiring selections all but made you forget the Wii's Virtual Console even existed? Understandable. Might want to buckle up, though, because three of the most-requested games for the service are finally making an appearance.
This coming Monday - November 23 - sees the release of the original SNES Mario Kart, for 800 Points. Good news. Better news is to come, though, as "sometime this holiday season" Nintendo will also release the original SNES Pilotwings and the original N64 Smash Bros. Exact release dates and pricing to come on those two.
Leaving just one game on my Virtual Console wish list. Jurassic Park. Chop chop, Nintendo.

Ant6n we offer "tapSpeedTest", With which you can test your ability to chain the keys requested as quickly as possible. And with Wi-Fi you can view and send your results.
Quote:
The percentile rank says how many users's averages are slower than yours. The 'tapping IQ' is the position on a bell curve if we map all users' averages onto a normal distribution with mean 100 and standard deviation 15 (ie like a modern IQ test).
Currently you need a wifi connection. You can store files in your recordings, though (in order to resume them later) and I am thinking of adding some online submission facility for these, giving you the same stats, if there is demand.

Another Sonic the Hedgehog collection? Yep, it looks that way since Australia’s OFLC rated a game called Sonic Classic Collection for the Nintendo DS.
Sega has yet to announce it, but we’re pretty sure it’s going to be a bunch of Genesis era Sonic games on a Nintendo DS cart. With all of the other Sega re-releases on the market, Sonic Classic Collection needs something to make it standout. Something like Knuckles’ Chaotix or a prototype to play with. Wishful thinking, I know.

Nintendo is giving the Wii no Ma (Wii’s room) channel a major upgrade. Users will be able to watch feature films like the “Curious Case of Benjamin Button” and Kirby episodes in the new Theater no Ma (Theater Room) area.
Warner Brothers Japan, TV Asahi, Walt Disney Japan, Asmik Ace, NHK, J League Media, Sesame Workshop, Howcast, Bonus, Warp Star, Toei, NTV and the Pokemon Corporation will provide content for the service. Specific movies and anime series have not been announced, but Elmo videos should be available at launch.
Aside from this 100 Wii Point ($1) episode of Kirby, pricing is still up in the air. Please note that the fee is only for a rental and rates will vary depending on the content. One neat Theater Room feature is some videos can be transferred to a Nintendo DSi for on the go viewing.
For now, this service is only for Japan. Nintendo has not released Wii’s Room in any other region.

Nintendo just raised the bar for platinum Club Nintendo presents. In the past, members could get limited edition Game & Watch Collection DS games. This year, if you registered 400 or more Club Nintendo points in Japan, you get an actual Game & Watch.
Platinum members will be handsomely rewarded with Game & Watch: Ball. Ball was the first Game & Watch handheld Nintendo released so there’s some history to the present. The gift will ship out in April. Gold members get a boring calendar.
If you’re in Japan, there is still time to upgrade your account by grabbing DS games from Tsutaya’s clearance pile.

[David Cranor] has managed to fit a fully working Uzebox system into an old NES controller. Uzebox, an open source gaming platform based on the ATmega 644 and an AD725 NTSC encoder, is one of a couple systems that are becoming more and more widespread and accessible. There are a number of ready-to-go Uzebox kits available, but for the more hands-on types, [David] has been very generous with his schematics and step by step instructions. These schematics can all be readily reshaped, and would easily fit into controllers with less fun applications and sentimental value.

Lazard Capital Markets analyst Colin Sebastian has released a new investor note following a meeting with Nintendo yesterday in which he cites the Wii manufacturer as saying that sales of Super Mario Bros Wii are "off to a good start after three days at retail".
However, he adds that it's not yet apparent whether or not the game has "driven incremental hardware sales," a point which he notes "remains a concern for the overall videogame industry."
The meeting also covered Nintendo's ongoing strategy to drive audience expansion by targeting users of all ages and attempting to balance even further the gender split, while Sebastian also noted the launch in Japan of the company's video-on-demand service, Wii-no-Ma.
He concludes that the outlook for the publisher will depend on the software line-up for the next 12 months, as well as the ongoing strength of the DS platform, and that while 2009 was disappointing, Nintendo is "upbeat" about its prospects for 2010 - and intends to "be more vigilant" in fighting piracy.
Nintendo's share price closed down 1.1 per cent to JPY 22,250 (USD 250.58) at the end of trading on the Tokyo Stock Exchange today.

Shigeru Miyamoto has given an interesting interview to Famitsu - translated and summarised by 1UP - about the design processes behind New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
It's the most closely he's been involved with day-to-day game design in a while, he said. "It's been a nostalgic time for me. I've been getting into the game and making the sort of fine-tuning adjustments that I made with Super Mario World and Mario 3."
Miyamoto says that the decision to go with "a very orthodox Mario" in the modern day and age was "courageous", but motivated by the decision to focus on multiplayer.
"I figured that as long as multi-play was fun, then simpler would be better for everything else, both to players and to us creators. To put it bluntly, I would've been just fine with basically making a multiplayer Super Mario World. That's not too terribly interesting, though..."
The multiplayer served Nintendo's goal of making the game more accessible to everyone without making it easier or creating multiple difficulty modes, since a talented player can carry others through it. "Even if they can't beat the game themselves, it's fun for them to experience the entirety of the game. That's why what you could call the 'story mode' is completely playable in multiplayer."
Miyamoto agrees with us that it's a tougher game than the DS New Super Mario Bros. "I do think the game has a lot more oomph to it than the first New SMB," he said. "World 1 and 2 are pretty forgiving, things ramp up starting with World 3, and it gets even harder at World 6... You could say this game is a challenge to gamers, to see if they have the perseverance it takes."
More from Miyamoto, including his thoughts on the Super Guide and how it was prefigured in Super Mario Bros. 3, over at 1UP. New Super Mario Bros. Wii is out today and it's lovely.

Preliminary VGChartz estimates are in and it looks like New Super Mario Bros Wii has become the third fastest-selling game of the year so far in the Americas with over half a million copies sold in the first day alone. The title had accumulated around 520,000 preorders as of last week and VGChartz estimates that week one sales in the Americas should come in at around one million units.
The top Wii openings in the Americas have been Super Smash Bros. Brawl which sold 1.59m units in week one, and Mario Kart Wii which sold 1.21m units in week one. New Super Mario Bros Wii is expected to start slightly below those two but should sell more in weeks 2-6 with holiday sales boosts (Super Mario Galaxy may be a better comparison as it came out at roughly the same time of year two years ago although New Super Mario Bros Wii is expected to track at least 50% higher in the coming weeks).
With Assassin's Creed 2 and Left 4 Dead 2 out tomorrow and Modern Warfare 2 still seeing enormous sales, it will be a busy week but at the moment it looks like Mario will be coming out on top.
