Nintendo of America aware of 3DS conference, but not sure what will be announced

This information comes directly from a Nintendo of America customer service representative…
“Thank you for writing. There will be an announcement on September 29th, 2010 regarding the Nintendo 3DS, however, we have no details regarding what that announcement will be. Be sure to frequent our official website, www.nintendo.com, for all the latest Nintendo news and information.”
I honestly have no idea what will happen come next Wednesday. There has been so much speculation all over the place that it’s driving me nuts. Will this be only Japanese related information? Will new games be announced? Will this be a 3DS-only conference? So many questions! It’s a good thing that we’ll only have to wait a few more days to find out some details.
Nintendo quiet about Wii Remote Plus
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 1 Comment
Below is an official statement from Nintendo of America in regards to Wii Remote Plus…
“We have nothing to announce at this time.”
For whatever reason, it appears Nintendo wants to keep this news a secret for the time being… Even though it’s not really a secret anymore. Interestingly, GameStop has removed the listing for FlingSmash/Wii Remote Plus. The game is coming out in about a month and a half, though, so Nintendo will have to say something soon!
Epic Mickey pushing Wii to its “ultimate limit”

This information comes from Epic Mickey producer Raul Ramirez…
“We do have such a great experienced staff at Junction Point that we were able to, as we feel, push the Wii to it’s capability and ultimate limit and provide a beautiful story for the player to jump into. We are fortunate enough to have such great staff and we have a lot of years experience in the gaming community that they’ve just pushed the Wii to its capability, to its absolute max, in order to provide what you’re seeing in front of you.”
I definitely get the feeling like Warren Spector and his team have a very strong passion to bring a high-quality title to Wii. Let’s just hope it pays off in the end!

This is pretty interesting. It’s the first time we’ve heard of an official controller in which the Wiimote and MotionPlus are actually attached. One has to wonder if Nintendo will make the “Wii Remote Plus” available as a standalone product.
Donkey Kong Country Returns GameStop pre-order bonus

“Pre-order Donkey Kong Country Returns and receive a GameStop exclusive Banana Pouch for your Wii Remote. Available for online and in-store customers only while supplies last.”
It’s an interesting bonus, but I don’t know how often I’d use it. Still, something is better than nothing, and I was planning on purchasing the game anyway. This just makes the deal sweeter.
