Nintendo and Target have teamed up to give people a fun and invigorating way to keep their New Year’s resolutions. On weekends from Jan. 16-31, shoppers who visit select Target stores nationwide will encounter the Wii Fit™ Plus Experience in the parking lot or at the entrances of the stores. Each location will feature eight kiosks where visitors can get some “feet-on” time with the Wii Fit Plus software in an atmosphere reminiscent of a yoga studio.
Visitors will be able to try out the various balance games found in Wii Fit Plus, which uses the Wii Balance Board™ accessory to combine fun and fitness. Wii Fit Plus includes the original Wii Fit activities as well as more than 20 new activities, customizable workout routines and even a way to track the number of calories burned. Nintendo and Target ambassadors will be on hand to provide visitors with demos, information and free healthy snacks from Archer Farms, a food brand found only at Target.

Ubisoft fiscal update confirms Raving Rabbids 4, decline in Wii and DS game sales

Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 2 Comments

? 2009-10 targets revised downwards
? Releases of Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Conviction™ and R.U.S.E™ postponed to 2010-11
? Initial information on the 2010-11 line-up
Paris, January 13, 2010 – Today, Ubisoft updated its 2009-10 targets.
The sales targets for third-quarter and full-year 2009-10 have been revised downwards to €495 million and around €860 million respectively, from the previously announced figures of €540 million and €1,040 million.
These downward revisions are due to the following factors:
– A further correction in the market for DS titles. After several years of very strong growth, the significant correction of the DS market in 2009 particularly affected Ubisoft. As a result, despite relatively robust sales for Wii casual games, and particularly the success of Just Dance, sales in the casual segment are expected to be down for the full year by around €160 million, representing a drop of around 50%.

Reggie: Wii successor not happenning anytime soon

Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 4 Comments

“We are confident the Wii home entertainment console has a very long life in front of it.” – Reggie Fils-Aime

With the Wii selling the way it is, it wouldn’t make sense for Nintendo to release a successor to the console in the near future. The only possibility I can see happening is something like Wii HD, but Reggie essentially shot down that possibility a few months ago. But, who knows. Perhaps Nintendo will surprise us all and announce something at this year’s E3.
