Rumor - Wii Sports 2 in the Works?
3 Comments Published by cassidy 1 year, 4 months ago in Rumor Mill.I wouldn’t be surprised if Nintendo did decide to release a sequel to their wildly successful bundled title, Wii Sports. For the time being, this is a rumor only… but their are some rumblings going on over at NGCFrance of Wii Sports 2 in the works. They get their info from some Japanese [...]
The folks over at CVG have apparently been in communication with “reliable” sources close to Nintendo, and the word on the street is that a few of the really key titles that were slated to be released in early 2007 may be pushed all the way back to Q4, probably just in time for Christmas [...]
I figured that someone would come out with a product like this sooner or later, given how quickly the WiiMote eats batteries… I just figured that Nintendo would make one first! Joytech has gone ahead and put together a pretty sweet charging system for your WiiMote(s).
They’re calling it The PowerStation [...]
Nintendo’s DS Project Manager, James Honeywell, has gone on record to say that they are definitely working on software to get the DS and the Wii talking to each other. So far, the only game to do this is Pokemon Battle Revolution, but there are definitely more games in the works.

I guess the folks over at Nintendo don’t feel that all the things that they’ve done so far are enough to keep people playing safe with their Wii. I mean, they’ve already issued safety statements, e-mails and are replacing the WiiMote straps for each and every single person who may be interested (provided you [...]

If you’ve never registered your consoles or games online, this is the place where you can go to download game extras like backgrounds and icon sets. While nothing like this is [...]
After broken Nintendo promises (Yes Perrin Kaplan, I’m talking to you) leading up to launch, it looks like all the Wii users out there will finally be able to play other regions games on their Wii. Well, we will be able to do that when Datel releases a Wii version of their great Freeloader software.

Ishaan over at Destructoid has gone ahead and put together a list of what he thinks are the Top 10 Most Promising Wii games to be coming out in 2007. I found it pretty interesting that he has also included videos of most of the games that he’s chosen. I’ll give you just [...]
Please… no jokes about my article title… please!
