WiiSpeak can be bought “at limited retail locations,” High Voltage on not supporting the peripheral in Conduit 2

“The Wii Speak microphone is still available at limited retail locations. Additional shipments can be made if consumer demand increases.” – Nintendo statement
“Honestly, it boils down to this: the firmware required to support the PDP headset is incompatible with Wii Speak. We had to decide which one device to support. Sadly, we knew either route was likely to tick off some of our fans. So, we chose to support the best option for gameplay. And at the end of the day, the headset peripheral is more in line with what we believe our fans and first shooter players want/expect.” – Eric Nofsinger, High Voltage
In this case, I definitely see where High Voltage is coming from. I would much rather communicate through a headset rather than WiiSpeak when playing a first-person shooter. How about you guys?

Q-Games thinks the 3DS “could be a pretty amazing piece of hardware”

This information comes from Q-Games…
“The 3DS does look like it could be a pretty amazing piece of hardware, doesn’t it? I’m just as excited about it as you are. Unfortunately, I’m sorry to say that we can neither confirm or deny any 3DS development…”
I think it’s only a matter of time before we see a 3DS project from Q-Games. The company worked on Star Fox Command for DS, as well as a number of DSiWare titles.
First Wii game to top 4 million Japanese sales isn’t too surprising
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 2 Comments
Being one of the top selling games of this generation thus far, New Super Mario Bros. Wii is also the highest selling Wii game in Japan, being the first one to top 4 million units sold. This isn’t much a surprise, considering the DS NSMB has sold more than 20 million copies, but it’s still good to know that Mario has still got a lot of life in him!
Worldwide, the game has sold more then 16 million copies.
