TV AD

“What is this?â€

“New remote control?â€

“Oh Nintendo Wii remote controlâ€

 

Doesn't work for me but hopefully it does for the Japanese. Very short advert, as if it's sponsoring something like the DS ads in the UK.

Sorry if this has been posted/discussed before:

 

Xfire on Wii?

 

"We are in talks with one other console maker," Cassidy said, a likely reference to Nintendo, which is set to launch the Wii in the US two days after Sony releases the PS3. The only other console maker of note, Microsoft, has built its own Xbox Live service from the ground up and has announced its own cross-platform plans to integrate it with cell phones and PCs with Live Anywhere.

 

As most of you guys already know, Xfire is that messaging service that can send and receive messages within games, and see what games the contacts are playing - a perfect fit for what Nintendo said Wii users can see on their friends lists.

This sounds good. :) If this is true, then Nintendo are clearly pulling out the stops in online multiplayer (even if the launch titles don't have it).

there, the kanji is, according to IME

渡し輪

It's definitely like this:

私は

Where 私 means 'I'.

 

But anyway, I can't believe we've only got some 50 days to go before Wii comes out. Not long ago everything was a mystery and it felt like it'd be forever before Nintendo would release their new console. And about a month to go till US release? Sheeesh...

Wow I didn't know you could send e-mail. That's pretty awesome, especially if it works with computers.

 

I don't think its email, but just messages to other Wii users...

 

Those screens look pretty good. I wonder what you will see when you bring your Wii up out of stand by, hopefully there wont be a loading screen and you'll go straight into the Wii Channels.
