			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yes finally after a long wait the you’ll be able to get the black Wii.. but it is a ncie bundle they are offering<a href="http://wiidigest.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/w6.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; margin-left: 0px; border-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="w6" border="0" alt="w6" align="right" src="http://wiidigest.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/w6_thumb.jpg" width="161" height="150" /></a> with Wii MotionPlus and Wii Sports along with Wii Sports Resort, and it’s $199.. so that’s not too bad I guess..</p>
<p>A great value in video games is about to get even better. Starting May 9, Nintendo will add new elements to the baseline Wii<sup>™</sup> system package offered at retailers throughout the Americas. In addition to the intuitive, motion-sensing Wii Remote<sup>™</sup> controller, Nunchuk<sup>™</sup> controller and popular <i>Wii Sports</i><sup>™</sup> game that currently comes standard with each system purchase, every new unit will now also come packaged with <i>Wii Sports Resort</i><sup>™</sup> and the control-enhancing Wii MotionPlus<sup>™</sup> accessory. In addition, consumers will be able to choose between two color schemes for the Wii console and included controllers: original white, or a new black option. The U.S. suggested retail price of the new system package will remain at $199.99. Pricing outside the United States will be established by the local markets, but offer similar consumer value.</p>

<p>“Nintendo leads the way in delivering rich motion-control gaming experiences at an accessible price point,” said Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime. “By including even more of our top-quality hardware and software in the basic Wii system package, we’re extending that commitment to entertainment and value. Now more than ever, consumers can count on Nintendo to deliver inclusive fun and advanced motion controls at a mass-market price.” </p>
<p><i>Wii Sports Resort</i> expands on the active-play fun of the original <i>Wii Sports,</i> with resort-themed activities such as wakeboarding, archery and swordplay. What’s more, <i>Wii Sports Resort</i> features the rich control enhancements of Wii MotionPlus, which allows users to dive in and enjoy precision motion-control excitement right out of the box. </p>
<p>Wii MotionPlus has set the standard in precision motion control by delivering an immersive, social experience unavailable on any other system. As of May 9, when both the <i>Wii Sports Resort</i> game and a Wii MotionPlus accessory will come standard with every new Wii console, people who purchase the system can experience this leading-edge video game technology from the moment they plug in and power up. </p>
<p>Previously unavailable throughout the Americas, the black version of the Wii console will offer all the groundbreaking features and functions of its white counterpart in a stylish new color scheme. Whether they aim to color-coordinate with other devices or simply love the way it looks, consumers throughout the Americas can add a black Wii console with matching black Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers to their home entertainment lineup. Additional black controllers and accessories can be purchased separately. </p>
<p>The Wii system launched in November 2006 and continues to attract millions of new and experienced gamers with its intuitive motion-sensing controls and inclusive game offerings. </p>
<p>Remember that Wii features parental controls that let adults manage the content their children can access. For more information about Wii, visit <a href="http://Wii.com" target="_blank">Wii.com</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>S3 Graphics today announced a new licensing agreement with Nintendo Co., Ltd., licensing its S3 Texture Compression (S3TC™) technology, a group of texture compression algorithms developed and patented by S3 Graphics, Ltd. The license agreement today extends the parties&#8217; relationship, which began over 10 years ago. </p>
<p><strong>S3TC texture compression uses an advanced compression algorithm that achieves up to six-fold compression of complex textures and images that are used in today&#8217;s hardware accelerated gaming titles. This reduces memory bandwidth and expands the amount of texture imagery that can be stored and processed through onboard graphics memory, without compromising visual clarity.</strong></p>
<p>&quot;This agreement furthers our dedication to providing our game developers with leading compression technology to enable them to deliver the best possible gaming experience,&quot; said Mr. Genyo Takeda, General Manager of Nintendo&#8217;s Integrated Research and Development Division. &quot;We look forward to continuing our licensing arrangement with S3 Graphics.&quot;</p>
<p>&quot;We are extremely pleased that Nintendo has chosen to use the S3TC compression technology in its world renowned gaming platforms,&quot; said Dr. Ken Weng, General Manager of S3 Graphics. &quot;The license agreement reaffirms S3 Graphics&#8217; S3TC texture compression technology as the industry standard for both PC and game console graphics.&quot; </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here’s an interesting tidbit of info:<a href="http://wiidigest.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/s11.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; margin-left: 0px; border-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="s1" border="0" alt="s1" align="right" src="http://wiidigest.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/s1_thumb1.jpg" width="169" height="95" /></a> </p>
<p>Universal Networks International has today announced a partnership between SCI FI and Nintendo and Capcom&#8217;s Monster Hunter Tri game, which will run throughout April as the channel transforms to Syfy. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>..and another game release for the DS, well not until the 28th, but still it’s coming soon!<a href="http://wiidigest.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/m1.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; margin-left: 0px; border-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="m1" border="0" alt="m1" align="right" src="http://wiidigest.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/m1_thumb.jpg" width="153" height="137" /></a> </p>
<p>Want to meet face-to-face with Nintendo’s newest game designer? It’s easy – just look in the mirror. The new <i>WarioWare</i><sup>™</sup><i>: D.I.Y.</i> game for the Nintendo DS<sup>™</sup> family of hand-held systems lets players design their own microgames using artwork, animations and music limited only by the imagination. Launching across North America on March 28, this creative game also lets players share their original games wirelessly, giving fans of Nintendo’s top-selling portable systems a whole new way to create, connect and enjoy.</p>
<p><i>WarioWare: D.I.Y. </i>kick-starts the creative process with more than 90 built-in microgames that players can unlock as they progress through the game. When users are inspired to create their own microgames, they can choose from a library of ready-made graphics, sounds and game elements, or let their imaginations run wild and build a whole new microgame from scratch. </p>
<p> <span id="more-1003"></span>
<p>“With <i>WarioWare: D.I.Y.</i>, Nintendo is giving players a glimpse into the process of making video games, providing them with the tools to bring their ideas to life and share them with friends,” said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales &amp; Marketing. “For anyone who has ever wondered how their favorite video games came to be, this is sure to be a fun and rewarding experience not to be missed.” </p>

<p>&#160;</p>
<p><i>WarioWare: D.I.Y.</i> players who own a Wii<sup>™</sup> console and have broadband Internet access can extend the action into their living rooms. By downloading the <i>WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase</i> game, launching March 29 for Nintendo’s WiiWare<sup>™</sup> service, they can access more than 70 additional microgames and experience the hand-held games they created with their Nintendo DS systems on a full-sized TV screen. There’s also an unlockable multiplayer mode that lets up to four players enjoy microgames together (additional controllers required and sold separately). </p>
<p><i>WarioWare: D.I.Y.</i> for Nintendo DS offers several ways for players to share content on the go. Using a local wireless connection, they can swap microgames they’ve created on their own Nintendo DS system. For users with broadband Internet access, Nintendo will make new microgames available for download after launch and will occasionally challenge players to create microgames based on a given theme. A broadband Internet connection also enables players to upload items to their online Storage Crate and share those items by exchanging friend codes with other<i> WarioWare: D.I.Y. </i>users. </p>
<p>The new Nintendo DSi XL<sup>™</sup> system adds to the experience of making your own microgames by making <i>WarioWare: D.I.Y.</i> larger than life. Nintendo DSi XL has screens that are 93 percent bigger than those on the Nintendo DS Lite system, and include the ability to be viewed from a side angle, in case you want to show off your game creations to a friend. </p>
<p>Both <i>WarioWare: D.I.Y.</i> and Nintendo DSi XL go on sale on March 28.

<ul>
<li><b>The new Nintendo DSi XL</b><sup><b>™</b></sup><b> hand-held system</b> launches March 28 at a suggested retail price of $189.99. The screens of the Nintendo DSi XL are 93 percent larger than those of the Nintendo DS<sup>™</sup> Lite model, providing a more vivid and engaging play experience. The screens of the Nintendo DSi XL also feature a wider viewing angle, letting friends and family members join the fun. The new system launches in both Burgundy and Bronze colors, and comes loaded with pre-installed premium software <i>Brain Age</i><sup>™</sup><i> Express: Arts &amp; Letters</i>, <i>Brain Age Express: Math</i> and <i>Photo Clock</i>, as well as two free applications: the Nintendo DSi Browser and <i>Flipnote Studio</i><sup>™</sup>. Nintendo DSi XL will also come with a larger pen-like stylus that allows for a more comfortable grip and enhanced ease of use when playing games that use the Nintendo DS touch screen. <i>America’s Test Kitchen: Let’s Get Cooking</i> and <i>WarioWare</i><sup>™</sup><i>: D.I.Y.</i> will also launch for the Nintendo DS family of products on March 28, providing consumers with new content that can be enjoyed on any Nintendo DS system. Games like these demonstrate the enhanced experience available with the Nintendo DSi XL. </li>
<li><i><b>Super Mario Galaxy</b></i><sup><b>™</b></sup><b><i> 2</i></b>, the sequel to the smash-hit galaxy-hopping original game, launches May 23 for the Wii<sup>™</sup> console. The game includes the amazing gravity-defying, physics-based exploration from the first game, but is loaded with entirely new galaxies and features to challenge and delight players. On some stages, Mario<sup>™</sup> can pair up with his dinosaur buddy Yoshi<sup>™</sup> and use his tongue to grab items and spit them back at enemies. Players can also have fun with new items such as a drill that lets our hero tunnel through solid rock. </li>
<li><i><b>Metroid</b></i><sup><b>™</b></sup><b><i>: Other M</i></b>, the incredible new <i>Metroid</i> game developed for Wii through a collaboration by Nintendo and the world-renowned Team Ninja, launches June 27. The game looks at the classic franchise from a new perspective: While much of the game is reminiscent of 2-D side-scrollers, players can switch the perspective into 3-D at any time as they explore the twisting passages of a derelict space station and delve deep into a cinematic, never-before-told story of bounty hunter Samus Aran’s past. This new approach uses a new control scheme in which players use the Wii Remote<sup>™</sup> controller held sideways to battle enemies and navigate the expansive, gorgeous environments in classic <i>Metroid</i> fashion, then aim at the screen with the Wii Remote pointer to blast foes in first-person and hunt the world for clues and hidden passages. </li>
<li>In a unique partnership with Square-Enix, Nintendo of America will publish <i><b>Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies</b></i> in the Americas when the game arrives in summer 2010. <i>Dragon Quest IX</i> has sold more than 4.15 million copies in the Japanese market. Nintendo and Square-Enix will now work together to bring this title to the Nintendo DS consumer base in the Americas. </li>
<li>Capcom’s <i><b>Monster Hunter</b></i><sup><b>®</b></sup><b><i> Tri</i>, </b>an epic action game for Wii, launches in the United States on April 20. The game lets players customize their character, armor and weapons in order to protect a town from majestic monsters as that town rebuilds following a devastating earthquake. Online play will be available for all players with broadband Internet access at no additional cost. Online text chat is fully functional and online voice chat is enabled using the Wii Speak<sup>™</sup> microphone, which is sold separately. At a suggested retail price of $59.99, limited quantities of <i>Monster Hunter Tri</i> will include the new Black Classic Controller Pro<sup>™</sup>, while both Black and White versions of the controller will be available separately at a suggested retail price of $19.99. The game will also be available without a controller at a suggested retail price of $49.99. </li>
<li><i><b>Sin and Punishment: Star Successor</b></i>, the breakthrough shooter game for Wii from legendary developer Treasure, will launch across North America on June 7. The game features nonstop action with two playable characters and international online leaderboards to track high scores. Using the Wii Remote pointer functionality, the game offers unprecedented precision in the shooter genre. </li>
<li><i><b>FlingSmash</b></i><sup><i><b>™</b></i></sup><i><b> </b></i>for Wii will test players’ Wii Remote skills as they bounce a ball-like hero through countless side-scrolling stages, combining the precision of racket sports with the unpredictable fun of pinball. Playable only with the Wii MotionPlus<sup>™</sup> accessory, the game will launch this summer. </li>
<li><i><b>Picross 3D </b></i>is poised to become a puzzle game phenomenon when it launches for the Nintendo DS family of products on May 3. In <i>Picross 3D</i>, players start with a cube and smash away smaller blocks to reveal an object, shape or symbol. Delivering more than 350 unique puzzles and more made available for download on a regular basis after launch via the Nintendo<sup>®</sup> Wi-Fi Connection service (broadband Internet access required), the game takes the mind-bending fun of Picross into the next dimension. </li>
<li><i><b>100 Classic Books </b></i>transforms the Nintendo DS family of products into a library of timeless literature when it launches on June 14 at a suggested retail price of $19.99, highlighted by 100 works from authors such as William Shakespeare, Jules Verne, Jane Austen, Mark Twain and more. Readers can adjust the size of text, place bookmarks and even download new content via the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service (broadband Internet connection required). </li>
<li><i><b>Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands</b></i><sup><b>™</b></sup> from Ubisoft will launch May 18 on both the Wii and Nintendo DS platforms. Boasting amazing graphics with fantastic action and puzzle-solving game play, the Wii version will be the first in franchise history to feature a two-player cooperative experience. As an added bonus, the Wii version of the game will exclusively include the 1992 Super NES<sup>™</sup> version of the original <i>Prince of Persia </i>game. </li>
<li><i><b>Disney Guilty Party</b></i> is the official title of the highly anticipated first collaboration between Disney Interactive Studios and its recently acquired studio, Wideload Games. The fun and hilarious mystery party game is set for release in the second half of 2010, exclusively for Wii. </li>
<li>Majesco’s Nintendo DSi exclusive <i><b>Ghostwire: Link to the Paranormal</b></i> uses incredible augmented reality technology through the Nintendo DSi Camera. Launching this October, the game lets players become a ghost hunter as they interact with the paranormal. </li>
</ul>
<p>Nintendo also announced a variety of games available to download directly to the Wii console from the Wii Shop Channel via the WiiWare<sup>™</sup> service, and directly to the Nintendo DS via the DSi Shop and DSiWare<sup>™<i> </i></sup>services. </p>
<p>For WiiWare: </p>
<ul>
<li>Launching on March 1, Capcom’s <i><b>Mega Man</b></i><sup><b>™</b></sup><b><i> 10</i></b> builds upon the huge impact of <i>Mega Man 9</i>, a completely new adventure rendered in classic 8-bit style. This new game looks and sounds as awesomely retro as its predecessor. </li>
<li>Launching on March 8, <i><b>Max &amp; the Magic Marker</b></i> from Press Play turns the Wii Remote into an orange magic marker that’s literally magic. Players draw lines and objects to help Max reach objects and his ultimate goal. </li>
<li>The long-awaited indie cult classic <i><b>Cave Story</b></i> comes to WiiWare with new game play, artwork and music enhancements on March 22. It’s classic gaming reborn for 2010. </li>
<li>Launching on March 29, <i><b>WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase</b></i> is a standalone product exclusive to the WiiWare service and available only from the Wii Shop Channel. The game contains more than 70 new microgames and features interoperability with the <i>WarioWare: D.I.Y.</i> game for the Nintendo DS family of products. Players that own both games can transfer content between the two via a local wireless connection, and can even play user-created microgames on their television using <i>WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase.</i> </li>
<li>As the techno music pulses, Nintendo’s <i><b>Art Style</b></i><sup><b>™</b></sup><b><i>: light trax</i></b><sup><b>™</b></sup> puts players in charge of a white beam of light as it engages in a surreal race against other beams across a dark track. Players must keep away from obstacles, use items and look for power boosts if they want to finish first.<i><b> </b>Art Style: light trax </i>launches this spring. </li>
<li>Swim and spin through the primordial ooze in Nintendo’s <i><b>Art Style: Rotozoa</b></i><sup><b>™</b></sup> as you absorb tiny organisms that match the colors of your tentacles. As you absorb more organisms, your tentacles grow. The challenge increases as additional tentacles are gained, but power-ups can help you survive and thrive.<i><b> </b>Art Style: Rotozoa </i>launches this spring. </li>
<li>Launching this spring, <i><b>Rage of the Gladiator</b></i> from Ghostfire Games is an intense fighting game that asks players to perfect their well-timed moves against an array of opponents. The game is compatible with the Wii MotionPlus accessory. </li>
<li>Launching this spring, <i><b>And Yet It Moves</b></i> from Broken Rules requires players to rotate the world to help their line-drawn protagonist progress. Walls become floors and floors become ceilings in this surreal twist on the platformer genre. </li>
<li>Launching this summer, Independent Games Festival Seumas McNally Grand Prize Finalist <i><b>Super Meat Boy</b></i> from Team Meat sets a cube of meat off on an adventure to save Princess Bandage. This off-the-wall game is not for the faint of heart. </li>
</ul>
<p>For Nintendo DSiWare: </p>
<ul>
<li>Nintendo’s <i><b>Photo Dojo</b></i><sup><b>™</b></sup> is poised to be the cult hit of 2010 when it launches this spring. The game first asks players to pose for 13 pictures and input 10 sound effects. Once that’s done, the player becomes the main character in a hilarious side-scrolling fighting game. Create up to eight characters and do battle alone or against a friend on a single Nintendo DSi or Nintendo DSi XL system. </li>
<li>Launching this spring, Nintendo’s <i><b>Metal Torrent</b></i><sup><b>™</b></sup> delivers a frantic barrage of gunfire that fills the screen. Players try to convert opponents’ bullets into cubes that, when collected, increase their score and fill an energy meter that powers special weapons. Online Leaderboards record scores and movies of top games. </li>
<li>Launching this spring, <i><b>X-Scape</b></i><sup><b>™</b></sup> from Nintendo immerses players in an exploratory adventure involving more than 20 planets. Players will pilot their tank through 3-D tunnels, fire at enemies and even battle ancient weapons that resemble giant robots. </li>
</ul>
<p>“Nintendo finished 2009 with a bang, and we’re continuing our momentum into 2010,” said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales &amp; Marketing. “With Nintendo DSi XL, <i>Super Mario Galaxy 2</i> and <i>Metroid: Other M</i> coming in the first six months of the year, we’re making sure all our fans have great game content to enjoy year-round.” </p>

<p>Title: The Biggest Loser Nintendo Wii @ TestFreaks </p>

<p>Quote:    <br />&quot; Today for review I’ve got the Wii game based on the TV show The Biggest Loser, and it’s actually not bad, think Wii Fit on steroids. The Biggest Loser game is much more than just a bunch of exercises for you to get into shape, though it does have a plethora of them for you to do. The game features the ability to help you lose weight or just get in shape if you need to. In The Biggest Loser you’ll find full menus with directions to make healthy food, everything from snacks and main courses, all the way down to desserts. I’m not fat by any measure, but not being fat doesn’t mean that I’m in shape, after all how much exercise do I get while sitting at a desk most of the day?! So if you’re looking for a decent and fun way to help you get in shape or lose weight you might want to check out The Biggest Loser, even if you don’t like the show, the game will offer something for everyone to help you achieve you fitness and weight goals…&quot; </p>
