Gametrailers.com recently spoke with Nintendo Reggie Fils-Aime to ask him about all the games coming out this Winter season, such as Super Mario Bros Wii and The Legend of Zelda, Spirit Tracks. He also debunks (again) the possibility of Wii HD coming out next year. Good interview with lots of new info!
Remember the 'gag clause' they put into Miyamoto's contract? Well, Nintendo should review that. Shiggy has done it again and went on to 'spill the beans' on an interview granted to GameLife, stating that the next Legend of Zelda game for the Wii will in fact make use of Motion Plus for a more realistic experience.
n this (installment of the series), we're using MotionPlus to make you feel much more like you're actually fighting while holding a sword in your hand. In the previous game, you aimed at things by pointing at the screen, but this time we'll use MotionPlus to create a much more convenient targeting system and a more pleasurable playing experience.
Now, I get how Motion Plus could help swordplay, and call me paranoid if you like, but how would you improve AIMING by removing pointing at the screen and using the add-on instead?
Nintendo, however, has yet to make an official announcement on this, so things are a little unclear as to whether the game will only use Motion Plus as a complement or if it will be mandatory to be able to play it, so stay tuned...maybe the announcement will come at next year's E3 (boom, baby! ).
All right, so it's NOT a general rule...but wouldn't that be something? Canadians have been famous for their bacon for ages, and now they 'make history' by making a 12-year-old surrender his Nintendo Wii in exchange for his freedom. We're not kidding.
The Winnipeg Sun reports that Judge Marvin Garfinkle (it's obvious why the guy's bitter with a name like that) has arranged for a 12-year-old boy, who has been in a lot of trouble with the law lately, surrender his Nintendo Wii as a sort of bail. The terms, the article states, are that the boy keeps peace, appearing for court dates, live with his grandma, and participating in a bail management program. Should the boy fail to honor the agreement, the court gets to keep the console.
He is pledging as a security, akin to a cash deposit, his Nintendo Wii, and if he doesn't comply, he loses it. - Judge Garfinkle
The boy's lawyer, although the brat has spent some time in court already for breaking his school's door windows with a rock-filled sock and chasing and beating another boy, among other mishaps, claims that the boy is not violent but instead just someone who often finds himself in the wrong place at the wrong time.
I know it doesn't look good. I've never seen him enraged, I've never seen him upset. He's a 12-year-old who is generally quite scared. - Serena Puranen, Lawyer.

Cool new Wii update today: the Internet Channel is free once again! Anyone who bought the Internet Channel for 500 Wii points before can download one free NES title so long as it costs 500 points! Just run the update people! Oh, and you have to make sure to download it before 11:59 PM PST on December 31st, 2009.
On a sad side-note though, if you were one of those who originally downloaded the beta Internet Channel and were allowed to upgrade for free, you will NOT be getting this free NES download Man, I really wanted SMB3!
Black Wii is in Japan, now Black Wii will be in Europe. Nintendo has announced that it will be releasing a Black Wii Bundle across Europe this month.
The bundle will be available as a Limited Edition pack including a Wii, WiiMote, MotionPlus, and Nunchuck (all in luscious black), and of course, Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort. The bundle will be available in the UK and Ireland on November 6th, while the rest of Europe will have to wait until November 20th to get their anxious hands on the shiny, new console.
Of course, separate versions of each accessory will be available in black, including the Classic Controller Pro in the same dates across Europe. No pricing details have been given out yet, though.
Well, this is why shows must always be taped before airing... Head to minute 4:55 to see the 'good stuff' and skip ahead to where this embarrassed dude breaks a brand new LCD he is still trying to sell you (alongside a Wii and a ton of accessories, proven deadly with his moves).

Twitter can be an absolutely amazing service. That said, it's not always the most reliable source of news. That's why this story is marked as a rumor; one I'm reluctant to post.
If this Twitter account, supposedly that of voice actor Charles Martinet, is real, then we have quite an interesting story on our hands. Martinet, who voices several characters for Nintendo, including Mario, Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi, dropped some major Mario-related news over the past week:
Mama Mia!!!! I'm going to Seattle this week to record a new Mario game! Woo Hooo!!!!! I can hardly wait!!!!1
Big day tomorrow! Seattle for a new Mario game! Yippee!!! And just as a joke, it's going to rain....in San Francisco tomorrow!
Awesome new Mario Game! And it's not NSMB Wii, and it's not Galaxy 2, but it's going to be crazy fun!
Even if the Twitter account is real, I wouldn't get my hopes up just yet. Martinet could always be teasing Mario Party 9.
Ready to get your black WiiMote and MotionPlus? Are you going to add a black Nunchuck to the mix? Well, it turns out that you'll be able to do this very soon. Nintendo announced today that they'll be releasing a black WiiMote + MotionPlus bundle and a black Nunchuck by November 16th.
The WiiMote/MotionPlus bundle will be sold at US$50, while the Nunchuck will go for US$20. Get your wallets ready.
The Wii Remote revolutionized not only how people play games, but also who plays them. The new color lets people customize their setup, and the controllers make great stocking stuffers for players of any age. - Cammie Dunaway
