I posted this video in the Wii Discusion thread but its relevant here too: http://www.jeuxvideo.tv/super-monkey-ball-banana-blitz-video-24337.html

Yeah I think you're right. Seemed odd to me that they would use USB for it. There's a new Video up at JuexVideo of someone playing Monkey ball, but the camera shows them useing the remote rather then the game: http://www.jeuxvideo.tv/super-monkey-ball-banana-blitz-video-24339.html Second video is half Monekyball Footage and haalf people useing the remote: http://www.jeuxvideo.tv/super-monkey-ball-banana-blitz-video-24337.html

The Nunchuck uses USB? http://gonintendo.com/?p=5021

There's a hands on Preview at Kotaku: http://www.kotaku.com/gaming/gc06/gc06-battalion-wars-2-the-perils-of-the-wii-and-ina-the-nintendo-booth-babe-196840.php The guy isnt too impressed with it or the Wii controller but it's pretty funny.

I had the same trouble with Disc 1 once but I just cleaned the disc and it worked. I really hope you're copys not damaged in anyway ...having it stop at the end of Disc two would drive me crazy.

I can understand why Fish isnt too happy about this news.Those games Fish mentioned probably would of been online but Nintendo have prevented that from happening by not giving them the tools to do so until next year. This is Nintendo unnecessarily holding back 3rd partys because no doubt they would rather anyone who does go online at launch do it on a Nintendo made game. Also online out of the box isnt that big a deal anymore. Dreamcast did it 5 years ago and 360 does too (be it by xbox live Silver).

IGN have just put up some video's: http://media.wii.ign.com/media/849/849911/vids_1.html

I still can't get over how small the thing is. Weird to think in just a few months we'll take it's looks for granted and it'll just be another electrical appliance in our living rooms.

I can make out Baby bowser and Waluigi (not really a surpise) http://gonintendo.com/?p=4973

Gonintendo have some pictures of the Wii which is making me drool: http://gonintendo.com/?p=4973

Anyone remember Ox Tales? ITV showed it over the summer holidays a million years ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YU7X2OAIFEo

This is a video of Elebits but they video the Wii itself and the controller a few times: http://www.gamevideos.com/video/id/5266

I was unaware that any of the launch games where going to be online anyway. Plus IGN could be wrong. Weren’t they the ones claiming 5 new titles would be revealed for the Wii at Leipzig?

This isnt that much of a blow, out of all the 3rd party games at launch I don't think there's any that would really lose out on not being online. Its still a stupid move from Nintendo though. Xbox might of taken a year to get online, but Dreamcast was online out of the box.

^ Thats from the BBC front page This sucks, Pluto was always my favourite planet. Now its not even a planet.

BBC have this: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/5280958.stm

By looks I mean it has the same lettering on it as the Bosses grave, plus the white flowers are pretty much a dead give away its her tomb stone. Not saying there's no chance its Ninjas, But I really doubt it (unless they wrote "WHO SAVED THE WORLD on both their Tombstones )

Me too especially we keep being told the Wii will be eaiser and cheaper to develop for.

I can't find it at the moment but there's a picture that compares the bosses grave from MGS 3 to the shot from the metal gear solid 4 trailer and they looks near identical.

Thing is I wasn’t expecting this to be on the scale of E3 since last year we got pretty much the same amount of info however like Owen said we really should know the date and launch line up by now. We know next to nothing about how the Virtual console thing will work out etc and this really should have been the time to do it. Announcing A Pink DS lite is something that can be done in a press release, Mario strikers wasn’t that great of a game on the cube so I’m not particularly excited about a sequel (online or not). Bwii is the only thing worth any interest. At least with Sony they gave us some cold hard facts, I actually know when its due and its price so I can actually make a decision on whether I will get one or not.

New video from Leipzig: http://gamevideos.com/video/id/5229#

There I was thinking no one will ever do a conference as bad as Sony E3 2006...

Gamespot have put up 5 new video's on there Xbox360 pages, there all seem to be from the offline mode. http://uk.gamespot.com/xbox360/rpg/phantasystariv/media.html And IGN have a hands on preview now up: http://pc.ign.com/articles/727/727216p1.html Edit: This is a pciture taken at the Leipzig Game Con, Looks like a November release date for Europe!:
