Upcoming Entertainment Title Enables Families to Interact With Popular Fairy Tales and Fables From Around the World
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. – September 2nd, 2009 – Konami Digital Entertainment Inc. today announced Storybook Workshop for the Wii, an exciting new initiative in their family-friendly games catalogue to reach pre-school children. Scheduled to be released this fall in North America, Storybook Workshop immerses kids and their parents in 16 classic children’s fairy tales and fables and many other exciting features. Through the use of the included USB microphone, you can read along, record and play back readings of your favorite stories, including the most beloved tales from Hans Christian Andersen, the Brothers Grimm, Aesop and around the world. Storybook Workshop’s unique microphone functionality will even magically change your voice to sound like the characters in the stories, including fairies, giants and robots! Continue the fun with your children in a lively sing-along room where nursery rhymes come to life right in front your children’s eyes, and watch as they learn rhythm, language, numbers and shapes in the exciting Play & Learn mode. Your kids can track their progress by using a virtual sticker pad, which will get pre-schoolers excited and motivated to continue to read and complete the stories.
In addition to all the wonderful reading attractions with Storybook Workshop, kids are able to create memories and tap into their creativity simply by using the sound of their voice and “painting” colorful masterpieces that they are able to display on their own personal virtual easel. With all this and more, Storybook Workshop will transform family story time into a wonderfully memorable, fun and enriching experience with your pre-schooler.

Torrance, CA (September 2th, 2009) – Aksys Games, a publisher of interactive entertainment software, is proud to announce the next evolution in CommanderVideo’s journey, BIT.TRIP VOID! Developed exclusively for WiiWare™ by the crazy brains at Gaijin Games, BIT.TRIP VOID is the next entry in the critically acclaimed retro-arcade BIT.TRIP series which follows CommanderVideo on his epic journey from the ethereal to the corporeal, and beyond…
THE VOID AWAITS…
BIT.TRIP VOID is a synesthetic exploration of rhythm and music as they pertain to our everyday lives and moods. In a control scheme brand new to the series, yet wholly familiar to gamers, the player is given complete freedom to move about the screen wherever they desire, interacting with the music in brand new ways. The classic gameplay aesthetic remains, as color—and the absence of color—are explored to the fullest.
Nintendo on why the Wii Fit Plus bundle is $10 extra
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 2 Comments
“We make our business decisions independent of actions taken by other companies. We see our main competition as the entire spectrum of entertainment options that people have available. Wii Fit has been a top-selling game ever since it launched and we hope people will respond with similar enthusiasm for Wii Fit Plus…It also adds an array of new features, including the ability to customize workouts, and count calories. Overall, there are 15 entirely new fitness activities, such as skateboarding and a Segway course.” – NOA’s vice president of corporate affairs, Denise Kaigler
Personally, I think $90 is a bit too much for Nintendo to ask for from the Wii Fit Plus bundle. The title itself will be a great deal for those who already have the Balance Board, but the new bundle price is certainly a heavy investment.
