Nintendo to Include Wii Sports Resort, Wii MotionPlus with All New Wii Systems

Starting May 9, Wii Hardware Will Be Available in Black or White

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–A great value in video games is about to get even better. Starting May 9, Nintendo will add new elements to the baseline Wii™ system package offered at retailers throughout the Americas. In addition to the intuitive, motion-sensing Wii Remote™ controller, Nunchuk™ controller and popular Wii Sports™ game that currently comes standard with each system purchase, every new unit will now also come packaged with Wii Sports Resort™ and the control-enhancing Wii MotionPlus™ 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.

“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.”

I am going to try this new segment out, James’s Rants. The post will consist of things that are on my mind about Nintendo or gaming all together. I am not sure if it will be a weekly or even a bi-weekly thing. I will probably see how this first one does and go from their. I hope you enjoy my rant.

I will be honest; I am looking forward to getting my hands on the Halo Reach Beta on Monday. All this talk about Beta testing has got my little head wondering. Why doesn’t Nintendo allow for Beta testing? I don’t know all the in-and-outs of Beta testing, or what it would take to do it on the Wii, but I feel that it could be possible. Why not release a Wii Channel, like the one for Metriod Prime 3, which allows players to use Wii-connect to access the Beta?

Beta testing wouldn’t work or even be helpful for most Nintendo games, like Galaxy or Sin and Punishment. Testing would be more helpful for 3rd parties who are looking into creating the ultimate online experience like High Voltage wanted. For those of you who played The Conduit online, you may have noticed some issue in that game that could of probably been helped with an open Beta testing. I do not blame High Voltage at all for this, they where shooting in the dark with the Wii’s online capabilities. It probably was like trying out a prototype bicycle. Is it going to fall apart when it goes down hill, will the brakes work? The Conduit was the first true online shooter experience placed was on a system that was not been fully tested for online. It could of done well for it to get a few riders around the block with an open Beta.
