New Color Puts Nintendo’s Wii Remote and Nunchuk in the Black

Nintendo’s iconic Wii Remote™ and Nunchuk™ controllers are getting a new look, just in time for the holidays. Ever since the Wii™ system launched in November 2006, the controllers have been available only in white. On Nov. 16, Nintendo introduces new black versions.

The new black Wii Remote controller will be available packaged with a black Wii MotionPlus™ accessory, which brings enhanced precision to games. The package will be available at a suggested retail price of $49.99. The black Nunchuk controller will be available separately at a suggested retail price of $19.99.



The changes listed below are available in Japan, but I can’t confirm yet if update can be downloaded in other countries yet.

* Added BGM
* Score adjustments
* New ranking board (because of the score adjustments)
* Improved visuals
* Shows number of play times
* Stage select adjustments

Haunted House Simulator Now Available Exclusively for Wii

Torrance, Calif., (October 13, 2009) –XSEED Games is pleased to announce today that JU-ON: The Grudge is now shipping to retailers across North America, exclusively for the Nintendo Wii™. JU-ON: The Grudge, a haunted house simulator and sensory experience developed by feelplus, is inspired by the Japanese films of the same name.

JU-ON: The Grudge is a unique addition to the horror title genre, immersing players in a first-person exploration of decrepit and haunted locales. Featuring five expansive levels and another level to be unlocked, from an abandoned warehouse to a crumbling hospital, players venture deep into darkened halls utilizing the Wiimote™ as a flashlight. The light cast exposes objects necessary for level progression such as keys and flashlight batteries, but may also unveil horrors best left in the dark. JU-ON: The Grudge also features a unique multi-player mode where the second player can trigger surprise scares with the press of a button.


We’ve heard that these two characters – Joe the Condor and Zero – would be part of the roster in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All Stars through a website leak. Today, Capcom has officially confirmed the news. The other two new additions to the game were shared a few weeks ago. An article in a previous Famitsu magazine verified that Tekkaman Blade will be present in the game while Capcom themselves revealed Frank West’s inclusion during the Tokyo Game Show last month.
