So:
New Zelda: Spirit Tracks - looks like Phantom Hourglass and features a train as Link's vehicle.
New VC cat: Arcade. Mame? ...TMNT? New games already available, unknown if its japan or not.
Update Wii: Get new menu, new SD support (play from the card!)
DSi will invade your life and take your soul, eat your children etc.
Square makes a Wii game: My Life as a Darklord. Best title ever. Nice to see Square developing for a Nintendo console again. Speaking of which, it's finally happening: The Final Fantasy series (starting with original NES FF1) will be available on VC. Watch them release CT the greedy fuckers. 8 bucks for VC and 30 bucks for DS? Why not.
Basically, no big Wii news in terms of software. They showed off Rock and Roll Climbers which looks oddly fun, but nothing great. No core games shown or announced from Nintendo. And we still dont know when Resort and Motion+ will hit. Rumor is that Nintendo is just making new Wiimotes with motion+ built in. Expect Motion+ sold separately for 10 bucks imo. New Wiimotes (if it happens) will probably hike to 50. Expect Resort and other 3rd partry titles to ome with a packaged Motion+ adapter.
All in all, not very eventful. But some interesting things to kick around.
