Nintendo won’t be making a gold nunchuck
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
Nintendo will be offering a gold Wii Remote Plus to celebrate the release of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. However, the company will not release a gold nunchuck to accompany the Wiimote. Reggie Fils-Aime told Kotaku:
“We looked into it. It was a little more bling than I think the average consumer was looking for.”

Nintendo Download Gets a Makeover, Adds Nintendo eShop Content on June 16
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, DS, News, Wii | 0 comments
Sometimes you just need to shake things up to keep them interesting. That’s especially true with the recent launch of the Nintendo eShop, a new virtual store that gives Nintendo 3DS™ users access to a wide variety of downloadable games and select content that can be viewed in 3D without the need for special glasses. To mark the debut of the Nintendo eShop – and provide consumers with a valuable one-stop showcase of all the latest downloadable content across Nintendo systems – the weekly Nintendo Download is about to get a makeover.
Starting June 16, the Nintendo Download will include information about the newest additions to the Nintendo eShop, including new 3D games, 3D Classics (select classic video games re-mastered in 3D), Virtual Console™ versions of games from the Game Boy™ and Game Boy Color systems, and hundreds of games originally offered via the Nintendo DSiWare™ service. What’s more, this modified weekly update will be posted Thursdays instead of Mondays, giving fans a heads-up on the latest offerings just in time for the weekend.
Wii Play: Motion Delivers New Moves and Great Value for Families
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Families can now expand their Nintendo video game library and their collection of Wii™ accessories at the same time, at a suggested retail price that’ll keep them smiling. Launching today exclusively for the Wii system, the Wii Play™: Motion game invites people to join together for a variety of new motion-controlled activities that will have everyone in the household enjoying themselves throughout the summer and beyond. Building on the immersive, family-friendly action of the original Wii Play™ – one of the top-selling video games of all time – Wii Play: Motion comes packaged with a black Wii Remote™ Plus controller, which features the built-in precise motion control of the Wii MotionPlus™ accessory. Wii Play: Motion is offered at a suggested retail price of $49.99.
The 12 included games in Wii Play: Motion ask players to wield the Wii Remote Plus (or Wii Remote with Wii MotionPlus accessory, sold separately) in a multitude of interesting ways. In Wind Runner, players tilt the controller to change the angle of an umbrella as they ride gusts of wind along a gem-filled race course. In Veggie Guardin’, they swing the controller like a mallet to ward off pests that threaten to steal vegetables from their garden. Spooky Search brings the action off the screen and into the living room by challenging players to track invisible spirits by pointing the controller around the room and listening for clues. In Teeter Targets, players carefully flip a ball into targets by tilting the controller like a seesaw.
