E3 Round-up - Nintendo

| No Comments
Wii Fit YogaNintendo's E3 press conference centered around a new Wii channel, a new fitness program and - most importantly - when all of the games are going to hit (well, all except for THAT one):
  • Wii Fit is a new "game" that includes a balance board and four modes: aerobics, muscle training, yoga and balance exercise; no word yet on pricing or what other sorts of games might support this new input device
  • The Check Mii Out channel lets you pimp your Miis and enter them in contests
  • Mario Galaxy is due out Nov. 12, Super Smash Bros. Brawl on Dec. 3 and Mario Kart Wii (Wii Wheel included!) in early 2008
  • Online play is coming; watch for it in Mario Kart Wii, Madden 08, Mario Strikers Charged, FIFA Soccer 08, Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker and Guitar Hero III
  • The Wii Zapper is a forthcoming $20 gun accessory (aka hunk of plastic) that holds the Wii-mote and nunchuk to help you enjoy shooter games such as Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles
