27 Playable Wii Games At E3

← Back to Stories (view on slashdot.org)

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

The final secret of the Nintendo Wii's innovative controller is a time machine.

That's how their Virtual Console works, too!

In related news, all 23 of these titles take advantage of the Wiimote's revolutionary technology through the implementation of fishing minigames.

Low: I think the lack of final price and exact launch date was a bad idea
No, they just don't want Sony to steal it.
