Slashdot Mirror
27 Playable Wii Games At E3
The Nintendo conference seemed to be the perfect opposite of Sony's conference yesterday. It was polished, the presenters were poised, and the demos conveyed exactly the message they were aiming for. Notable info includes 27 playable Wii titles on the E3 floor, a speaker in the Wii controller, a StarFox title for the DS, and a confirmation of motion sensor in the nunchuck attachment. There will be two versions of Twilight Princess (one for Wii, one for GC) and they'll both be out on Wii launch day. Launch is slated for Q4 of this year. The presenters kept the launch price and date under wraps as the tone of the event was inspiration, not information. The number of playable games available this week confirms their commitment to a launch date this year, and the hilarious tennis game played onstage by the Nintendo honchos and the contest winner made their 'playing = believing' slogan really hit home. More flash than substance, but a solid presentation overall

In related news, all 23 of these titles take advantage of the Wiimote's revolutionary technology through the implementation of fishing minigames.
Anyone else find it funny how all the Asian people are shown playing as a happy group in a bright clean, well lit room, playing colorful games that look super-happy fun; while all the American dudes have greasy hair, and disturbing expressions while the play violent games in a dark, cave looking rooms?
No, they just don't want Sony to steal it.
