New Release Delayed

in

That is bad news for all of us! It looks like Wii Speak Channel won’t launch on November 16 with Animal Crossing: City Folk. IGN showed a picture of their release on the site. The Wii Speak box had a disclaimer that the Channel will appear in December.

It is not clear as to when they will launch in December. However sources say that when the Channel launches in Europe simultaneously they will launch in North America. So wait till December 5, 2008 for the game to launch in Europe.

Alike Wiimote is Apple’s Smart Remote

in

When Nintendo’s Wiimote was introduced in the market, Apple instantly liked the concept and back in May, it made up its mind to come up with another Wiimote-like remote control for use of Apple TV. However, it was just a patent at that time. The patent is back again as Apple is back with an Apple Smart Remote complete with IR sensor and accelerometer action.

The device will be introduced soon and we have to see if the Apple’s version of the Wiimote will be able to compete with Nintendo’s console.

You Act Before You Decide

in

A psychologist from the University of Memphis, Dr. Rick Dale, has been using the Wii in his latest experiments. He is trying to study the relationship between the mind and the body. The Wii helped him to understand how our brains handle thinking and action, and that the two are intertwined. One thing that he found out was we begin to act before we think.

In this experiment people were asked to use the Wiimote to check if the statement was true or false. They saw that before making up their mind players had a tendency to tale a step thus proving the study.

Time to Play Table Tennis in North America

Family Table Tennis has been quite friendly enough in Japan. The Japanese company Aksys has decided to release a Wiiware version in North America. The release is the second family sports title. However there will be slight necessary changes made to this game. The game will be renamed from Okikaru Air Hockey to Family Glide Hockey.

Family Glide Hockey adds several twists to the game. We have weird tables, special shots, and extra minigames like Glide Hockey Drill. The game will be launched this holiday. However the date is yet to be decided.

No More Heroes in America

Wii Engulfing Wii Speak Microphone.

in

Nintendo always had profits selling Wii accessories and now its time for the WiiSpeak Microphone to join the family in this month. WiiSpeak is a peripheral to communicate (non-locally) during a game.

The peripherals mostly enhance the games they support and it’s high time that we should start using the Wii Fit or the Wii Wheel to play the Mario or the zombies in the House of the Dead. I feel it’s hard to remember that when did we last used any other peripheral except for the Wiimote or the Nunchuk for playing any Wii title.
