From the mouths of the players, see the results of a Metroid Prime 3 Demo. Honest words from gamers, forget that all you nasty critics.

Does a chuk come with the console, or do you have to buy it seperate? Cause You'll have to add on another $20 there, Shino.

I know I'm getting a Wii, Chuk(?), VC controller, and porbably Red Steel. I've got so many GC games I haven't played yet, I think I can hold out on games for a while.

Now here's some good news. The connectivity between DSL and Wii is more than simply up/downloading save data

from gamespot.com

"A short trailer shown during press time suggested that Pokémon Battle Revolution will play similarly to Pokémon Colosseum, though with upgraded graphics. Using the wireless connection between the DS and Wii, owners of Pokémon Diamond or Pokémon Pearl (both of which will be coming out in two weeks in Japan) will be able to use their handheld as a controller in playing Pokémon Battle Revolution. Players can give orders to their Pokémon using the DS, and then watch the result of the battle on the TV screen.

Having a DS isn't going to be mandatory in playing Pokémon Battle Revolution, although it will broaden the range of strategy when challenging other players. Using the DS will let you set up your Pokémon on the handheld's dual LCD rather than the TV screen, making it somewhat of a guessing game to figure out what the opponent player is up to. Aside from being the first Wii game to make use of the DS-Wii connectivity, Pokémon Battle Revolution will be the first Wii game to be playable online through Nintendo's Wi-Fi connection service."

Wii Browser free until June!

Wii browser free for now
Opera says its Web-surfing program will be free for owners of Nintendo's next-gen system until June 2007; sold on the Wii Shop Channel after that.
By Brendan Sinclair, GameSpot
Posted Sep 26, 2006 6:12 pm ET

We knew the Wii would surf the World Wide Web. What we weren't aware of was whether or not we would have to pay for the privilege, and if so, how much of a wallop our wallets would sustain for the Web browser.

Opera Software, the makers of the Wii's Web-surfing software, cleared that situation up a bit today with news that its browser for the system would be free for a limited time. Gamers will be able to download the Opera browser from the Wii Shop Channel free of charge until June 2007, the company announced today.

After June 2007, the browser will be available to download for an undetermined number of Wii points, the virtual currency of the Wii Shop Channel.

The browser will support Flash and AJAX-based content, and while it will be customized for Nintendo's next-gen system, Opera promises it will have "the same complete standards support as the Opera 9 Desktop browser," with functions including bookmarks and zoom. The browser will also be designed to work specifically with the motion-sensing Wii controllers.

Opera has some experience designing a browser around Nintendo's unconventional hardware. It also created the DS browser, which integrates the stylus and touch-screen functionality into a traditional Web browser viewed across both of the system's screens. The DS browser was released earlier this year in Japan for 3,800 yen (about $32), and is scheduled to launch in Europe October 6. No US release plans for the software have been announced yet.
