How Popular Is The Wii?

Look back at the amazing race the Nintendo Wii has had with it’s competitors the Play Station 3 and Xbox 360. No question Nintendo played the game on their terms, differentiating themselves from other next gen consoles by being the ‘other’ system. However, as time has worn on it looks like Nintendo is ‘THE’ system to have in any living room worldwide.

Yesterday we reported how Amazon announced that  17 Wii’s were sold every second on the popular eTail store. Now reports are surfacing that ‘Wii’ is the number one searched for item on Ebay and has been since Christmas on Tuesday. So what will 2008 hold for this still sought after item? I think we have a lot to look forward to, namely more quality games from Nintendo and MORE third party titles worth picking up.

So, get a Wii while you can, because this popular train isn’t slowing down anytime soon.

Did Ya Get A Wii?

Christmas 2007 has came and went, were any of you lucky enough to receive a Nintendo Wii under your tree? Luckily, I received one last year when they came out, so I was not one of millions fighting over one in the local Wal-mart, but I did receive a few goodies Wii related.

I received Star Wars: The Complete Saga, which is a ridiculously fun game that is addictive. Granted I’m not a young’n anymore, but I still enjoy fun games and this one hits the nail on the head.

5 out of 5 stars Star Wars Wii   December 21, 2007
This game is everything you expect it to be. The adventures never end as there are loads of options to play. Graphics are excellent and the characters are very cute. Waving the Wii remote like the lightsaber allows the kids to pretend they are real jedi knights!

My son had to have it. It was #1 on his wish list for Christmas.
Wii Points card

My family knows I love playing my Wii, but they do not own one, nor are they familiar with the retro game downloads. However, I did have a Wii Points card on my list so that I could pick out what I wanted to play…perfect!

GTA Creator Says No Wii Edition

GTA on Wii

The Grand Theft Auto (GTA) franchise is a successful one, spanning multiple consoles, and winning the hearts of millions world wide. However, this is a mature game that is not intended for the mass audience and the developers, Take Two, have been under fire quite some time for the content in the game. Doesn’t sound like a game for the Wii anyways and it looks like Take Two agrees.

Zelnick noted: “There are other titles better suited to the Wii than Grand Theft Auto.”

5 out of 5 stars FUN!   November 23, 2007
This game is so much fun! you dont automatically get all 30 songs, you win them if you score over a certain limit on the different songs.
You also win the different enviornments, and characters the characters can sing in.
You also get graded like in high school :p throughout the song you get grades, and when you’re done you get a final grade.
And i got a pleasent surprise when i went to something called extras and it had videos, interviews with the cast, dance along, and behind the scenes!
All in all a great game if you love HSM as much as i do.
Well worth the money!

Next Generation Wii

Alright, I know it’s a little early in the Wii’s life to start talking about the next generation Wii, especially considering there is still a shortage. However, Absolute Gadget is a web site that has decided to start speculating on the next console to follow the Wii and what it means for the quirky and fun Wiimote.

“We imagine some future generation of [Nintendo's] Wii won’t have hand controllers,”said Rattner. “You just set up the cameras around the room and wave your hand like you’re playing tennis.”

Interesting concept, but I wonder how that would fit in with Nintendo’s plan to have an affordable console for EVERYONE. The need for multiple cameras setup in a living room does not seem to fit in with Nintendo’s current business plan, but you never know and it’s fun speculating.

How Much Would You Pay?

Lotsa Lbs for Wii

I’m never amazed at what some people will pay for anything online, especially through ebay. For no others reason other than not doing their research some people would gladly fork over 10 times as much money as they would need to for the same thing. garrr.

According to TheHollyWoodNews.com a Nintendo Wii was purchased for more than £1000, that’s over $2,000 USD. Why would someone pay this much for a system that can regularly be purchased for around $300 from Buy Wii Online, because they didn’t do their research! Also, the story notes that the person who bought the Wii was only trying to keep their kids happy for Christmas….spoiled freakin kids. Merry Christmas everyone!

Wii Color Rumors

Ahh, the anticipation of Nintendo’s next generation console, more than a year ago was laced with hopes of a Revolution coming in many different colors. However, the reality is that we were blessed with a single white Wii. :) But could the tides finally be turning, could Nintendo have plans of finally releasing some color options with the Wii, much like they have been doing with the DS?

Start the rumor mill back up!

Wired announced the rumor of Nintendo releasing a new package in Japan which would include 2 nunchucks, 2 Wiimotes, and your choice of color Wii for $300 USD. It seems a bit early and could be entirely made up, but it is something nice to consider and hope for. My guess is that Nintendo will hold off until sales start slowing down…THEN start releasing the color options. Nevertheless, it’s a new Wii rumor.

UPDATE: Looks like this has already been debunked. Man, that was a short lived rumor. Wired Source

Amusement Park for Wii

Amusement Park on Wii

Don’t let the title fool you, this is not another roller coaster sim, it’s more mini-games with a Carnival like theme. The game Amusement Park is being developed by Wonderworld and will provide 30 minigames for the entire family to enjoy.

There is not a lot of information out there on this title yet, but it will be 4 player. I’d imagine this title would be similar to the already released Carnival Games.
