Nintendo announces 30% increase in Wii production

Newsflash – The US is currently experiencing a shortage of Nintendo Wii consoles. Okay, so that’s really nothing new, and neither is the fact that Nintendo is still sincerely upset about that fact.

Nintendo announces 30% increase in Wii production

Currently Nintendo is producing around 1.8 million units per month, of which I believe the US hulks more than 40%. In order to compensate for the continuous high demand, they are planning on increasing that number to 2.4 million. Let see how much longer will the Wii consoles stay on the shelves - may be extra 30 minutes? ;)

How to Score a Wii This Christmas

Everyone wants Wii to be their Christmas present but the supply just can’t fulfill the demand in 2007. Want to make one of those your own? Here’s our shopping advice.

How to Score a Wii This Christmas

Sunday: You Get Up Early

The best time for Wii hunting is early Sunday mornings, because that’s when retailers like Best Buy and Wal-Mart release their weekly advertisements. And if they advertise Wii in the flyer, they’ll hold some systems for the day the ad hits. The trick is to get your hands on the ads before Sunday morning, so you know where to line up. Abrams says users of his site post ads in the forums, so that might be an excellent place to start.

Go Crawling to eBay or Craigslis, may cost more though

There’s one place where you can buy a Wii any time, day or night, and have it guaranteed to be under the Christmas tree. Unfortunately for your wallet, that place is eBay. But currently well over 13,000 auctions post Wii consoles at the online auction house. Winners generally shell out about $400 each.

100 Reasons to Love the Nintendo Wii

100 Reasons to Love the Nintendo Wii

Personally I think 100 reasons is a little exaggerated. I actually read all and they have some good points especially the 52. Fat guys love it - this matches the post we did on Wii Fit Hopes for Super Sized American.

Here’s the Top 3:

  1. The name isn’t as bad as you think. Really. Well, it’ll grow on you.
  2. Innovative controls. The Wii-mote and Nunchuk that you use to play Wii games with make for a completely different kind of gaming. You wave, point, swipe and swing to play. It’s only as good as the games that make use of it though.
  3. No graphical willy-waving. It’s a fair cop: Wii isn’t as powerful as PS3 or Xbox 360. But that means developers could and should be focusing on gameplay. And as a bonus, it means we don’t have to read endless game reviews dribbling on about textures.

Become a Jedi - the Wii Light Sword

Become a Jedi - the Wii Light Sword

If you have a Wii and you’re a Star Wars fan then this accessory is a must have addon. Play.com has a light sword attachment that sports both a “power up” and “power down” effects. The blue glow is created via 22 ultra-bright LEDs and uses 3 AA batteries. With $31 at Play.com and you can kill the Dark Vader (in the virtual world). Or if you’re Zelda fan, you can get the Wii Z Sword Remote.

My favourite is the Wii Zapper with Link’s Crossbow Training, tell us what’s your #1 Wii accessory?

Jewelled your Gadget with Swarovski crystals

Are you looking for something extraordinary? A gift that is unique but yet elegant? If your answer is yes, you might want to crystalize your gadget from Crystal Icing.

If you’re a Mario fan, how about embellish your DS Lite with the Mario and his flying Koopa nemesis for $350? If that’s not sparkly enough for you, how about a custom piece like this Wii console covered with thousands of Swarovski crystals? It’s been carefully detailed with over 7500 24-Karat gold-dipped crystals.

Wii Fit - Hopes for Super Sized American!

Wii Fit

Shortly after Nintendo’s regain the “King of the Game Console” title. Wii Fit was announced at Nintendo’s E3 press conference, and Shigeru Miyamoto surprisingly took the stage to show off the project. Nintendo is surely printing money with Wii Fit. It’s going to sell shed loads, and it’s a very clever move by the company that’s managed to expand the games market by appealing to the lucrative mainstream crowd with similarly quirky titles on Wii and DS.

Wii Fit

You can play a yoga game that had you stand balanced in a range of different positions, following the motions of an on-screen character, and it challenges you to hold these positions for a set amount of time while it records your balance data, from which it will give you a score.

This will probably be a high demand product for the super sized North American. ;)
