Twist, turn, and move like never before with fun, motion-controlled experiences that come bundled with the Wii Remote™ Plus controller! Grip it like an umbrella, and tilt it around your body to ride gusts that blow you up, down, and to the finish line of a windy race course, or hold the controller like a mallet to strike pesky vermin from stealing vegetables from your garden. Players can even point the controller around the room to help find and capture invisible spooks! With multiple difficulty modes and game variations to unlock, up to 4 players can get caught up in the big action of the Wii Play: Motion game. For anyone looking to pick up another Wii Remote Plus controller, Wii Play: Motion is a great value that features 12 games and a bundled Wii Remote Plus controller.

Check out these two blurbs from the latest IGN article…
“According to our sources, the new Nintendo controller will feature dual analog sticks in addition to standard d-pad and trigger buttons. It’ll mirror a Gamecube controller in general function but not in specific form.”
“Sources now confirm to IGN the new Nintendo controller allows players to stream entire games to the device from the console, saying it’s like a miniature television. The screen size on the controller is also confirmed to be six inches in size.”
It sounds like the “screen on the controller” idea is really picking up steam. The concept seems interesting, but I’d like to see it in execution. If IGN is correct, we’ll be seeing first and third-party games at E3… so we’ll also be able to check out the controller for the first time. That is, if all of these “sources” know what they’re talking about!
Ready for more Wii 2 rumors? I hope so, since IGN’s Jim Reilly just posted more speculation on his Twitter account. According to his messages, the console’s controller will have dual analog sticks and the system itself is capable of streaming content. However, it isn’t clear if that includes full games, mini-games, or just applications. Reilly also claims that both first and third-party games will make an appearance at the show, though it’s anyones guess if they’ll be playable or not.
“Dual analog sticks on the controller. Can stream game content from the console. Not sure if it’ll be full games, mini-games, or apps. There will be first and third party ‘Wii 2’ games at E3. No clue if they’ll be playable.”
We knew the game was coming thanks to Nintendo Power, but Aksys Games officially confirmed the news today.
TORRANCE, Calif.–April 15th, 2011–Aksys Games, a publisher of interactive entertainment software, is pleased to announce that BlazBlue: Continuum Shift II will be headed to both the PSP® system and the Nintendo 3DS™ handheld system in Spring 2011. BlazBlue: Continuum Shift II is an enhanced port of the critically-acclaimed BlazBlue: Continuum Shift, and the next installment in the popular 2D fighting game series known as BlazBlue.
BlazBlue: Continuum Shift II contains the complete set of single player features from the console version, such as Arcade, Score Attack, Training, and Story mode, and also has an ad-hoc Network mode for multiplayer play. This impressive list of features is topped off with new content created specially for the handheld version, including extra story material and brand-new modes such as Legion 1.5 and Abyss Mode.
Do you live in Japan? Are you a member of Club Nintendo? If the answer to both of these questions is “yes”, then you may want to think about purchasing a giant 3DS AR Card for 200 coins. The front of the card will let you bring a giant Mii to life while the back features the Mario AR Card to create a giant Mario. The card measures in at 73cm x 46cm. Nintendo will officially release the cards on July 1.
