I realize that this isn’t really news, but I thought it was an interesting (and frankly, humorous) little tidbit of info about Wii Sports Resort from the GameStop page for the game.

Apparently, the original price for the game was to be $230,591.00, but then gamestop probably realized that with the current economy, they’d have to cut it down a bit. Now, thanks to the drop in cost, you save $230,541.01! I for one would have paid the full asking price, because the peripheral would be worth it, but I don’t think too many people would agree with me.

Update 4: The event will focus on single-player instead.

Update 3: The SEGA press event, which was going to focus on the game’s online multiplayer functionality, was unable to happen due to networking issues with servers.

Update 2: SEGA has confirmed 13 different modes for online multiplayer including “ASE football.”

Update: The trailer does indeed confirm 12 players online.

These details come from the latest trailer of The Conduit.

This comes once again from Reggie Fils-Aime…

“Absolutely not [forgot about WiiConnect24]. What was important for us was to get today’s announcement out in terms of how you could store more content on the Wii. And essentially, with the high capacity SD card, there’s now up to 32 gigs of additional storage capacity on the Wii. With that, you can start to expect more WiiWare, more virtual content…You know, there will always be first party WiiWare content but again we see that as a key third-party, small developer opportunity.”

This comes from the extended interview with President and COO of Nintendo of America Reggie Fils-Aime on Gametrailers TV.

“On this particular game, we are not [doing DLC]. I’m certain that there will be opportunities for that down the road, but, really for us…Mr. Iwata has said this many times…the way we look at our first party is a way to drive the install base of the hardware. That’s what we’re trying to do. That coupled with downloadable content isn’t as great a match, but I’m certain there will be some opportunities down the road with downloadable content from a Nintendo perspective, just not on Punch-Out.”

I’m not too upset that Punch-Out!! will not support DLC. It’s pretty interesting to see what Reggie had to say regarding DLC in the future though…Could we see Nintendo take a more active role in that department with future games?
