Stocka Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Retailers were right with the announcement of the Pink DS Lite, and now dealers are also stating Nintendo might have a Wii-related meeting tomorrow (29th June) in Japan where more will be learned. [Cubed3] Seems about the right time, hope it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phez_boy Posted July 4, 2006 Author Share Posted July 4, 2006 sorry to double post. but kiyoshis back and he is still standing tall on his opinion of the mic being in the wiimote. check it out: http://saruwatari-wii.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djamb3 Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Sounds even more fake now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conzer16 Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 If a mic does appear in the Wii-mote, we'll all be left wondering about this Kiyoshi fella anyways! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stefkov Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 I like how he spells it 'mike' in the first paragraph. sure he spells it probably corectly afterwards, but its the first one that counts. I hate people who think these blogs as a religion, believing everything they say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wackman Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Yeah, definitley a fake. Tis a pity though! It was a great read! Well, his blog is up again, He says Miyamoto and Iwata are lying about the mic in the Wiimote. He says that a mic is cheap and that there will be one for sure. It will also be used in Wii-karaoke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_Ninja0 Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Maybe it's fake, but he has a point. A small 'mike' is very cheap, takes very little space and weight and practicaly doesn't drain any battery. But i want a nintendo wireless headset anyway.

Owen Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 I so want a launch date now! Japan are definately getting it end-of October but will Europe see it before USA? November 6th for US and a couple of weeks later for Europe? I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for a 6/11/06 launch date here in Europe! After PS3 may be a bad move! COME ON NINTENDO!

But i want a nintendo wireless headset anyway. yeah, i wan't a headset to, but i can think of some uses for a mic in the Wiimote too. His blog, i don't know. Just fun te read for speculation. Actualy hope some of it is true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teppo Holmqvist Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Sports Illustrated for Kids says that Wii will launch 6th of November. CNNMoney, in other hand, excepts late september / middle october launch. http://gonintendo.com/?p=3440 http://money.cnn.com/2006/07/05/commentary/column_gaming/index.htm?section=cnn_tech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conzer16 Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Could there be a new button on the Wii's FHC? You decide..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierce_LiNk Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 That's very interesting. Another button would be useful. I'm undecided on whether this is true or not. Slightly leaning towards not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conzer16 Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Indeeed, "leaning towards not" would be the automatic response for me too. But do remember Nintendo said they were still tweaking the FHC and could still add or remove buttons. Interesting placement (if true) don't you think?

Fierce_LiNk Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 I know they said they were changing some things, and that's what is making me think "hmmm, maybe." You know the classic controller has 2 shoulder buttons on each side? What are the users for these extra buttons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conzer16 Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Wasn't there a video somewhere that when asked about those buttons a Nintendo Rep at E3 said they were the equivalent of the GC's Z button? I could be wrong though..... Edit: Here it is. There appears to be only 1 extra shoulder button on the E3 prototype too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djamb3 Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Interesting...But bad choice of color :p After thinking a seccond...I donn't believe this. I see no use for the button unless it's a shoulder for use in race games... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phez_boy Posted July 6, 2006 Author Share Posted July 6, 2006 i think they need to keep it simple as possible, i dont know any tv remotes that have shoulder buttons. but then i do have many remote with plenty of buttons which simply dont work for the specific model of T.V. i got. damn button nazis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mario_jr Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Some TV remotes have side buttons, switches, and click wheels to switch through Cable boxes, satalite, DVD players. Sort of an after market universal remote that comes with your TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teppo Holmqvist Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 You know the classic controller has 2 shoulder buttons on each side? What are the users for these extra buttons? I don't remember where I saw it, but someone asked about same thing from Nintendo's representative during E3, and the answer was that they would be used to simulate N64's Z-button. I personally suspect that there isn't any big secrets behind them. Those two buttons are there just for situations where "normal" button layout isn't comfortable enough to be used in specific game. Plus you also have enough buttons to support any console with sole exception being Atari Jaguar . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
