Courtesy of Famitsu.com, we bring you the above clip: footage direct from Nintendo's recent conference where they dropped all those huge announcements you've been hearing so much about. Of course, the text on the clip is in Japanese thanks to its origins, but at least you can see the games that your fellow Nipponese brethren were privy to.
Upon watching the clip, I was struck by a few thoughts:
WiiFit looks much less idiotic when clad in business attire and brightly colored hospital booties.
The Zapper looks damn comfortable. Short of giving us each a breast as a controller, I think Nintendo might be onto something.
NiGHTS looks phenomenal. This is the sort of game where saying you want it inside of you may not actually be hyperbole.
Playing Zack & Wiki Quest for Barbaros' Treasure may no longer offend Muslims, but it will probably rile anti-masturbatory gesture advocates.
Soul Calibur Legends really ought to be retitled Soul Calibur Legends: A Mitsurugi To The Past.
Hudson is putting out a bullet hell shmup for the Wii? How did I miss that announcement?
I have no idea what that last title was, but the adorable lil' guy in the corner who kept jumping into the air reminds me of myself, back when I was a tiny yellow square.
I put Wii Sports into my Wii today and that was all. There hasn't been a game in it for 2 months now. At first I wanted to play Wii Sports but then I realized I could browse the Internet and find something more entertaining.
dude, name one thing that doesn't look better when clad in business attire and brightly colored hospital booties.
i think the wii definetly does have a huge amount of potential. i mean how could you expect less? this is fucking NINTENDO, the same guys we grew up with and the only compony making consoles that is only a GAMING compony. just because they hit a hard spot of mindless minigames doesnt take away its nintendo-ness.... shit, im way off topic.
ummmm i agree, Wii looks pretty.

The original made my buy a Saturn, so this one plus Brawl and Super Mario Galaxy are making a VERY strong case for Wii ownership.
I'm feeling more optimistic about them actually having games to play next year.
Waggle is our future, how I weep for videogames.
Any hoo, nice to see a broader range of games. That SoulCaliber spinnoff looks intersting but im still tentative about it.
Still waiting for Galaxy, Metroid and Smash.
On Topic: Some of those games look pretty fun. And a Bullet Hell SHMUP? Win for sure.
I did, didn't I!
Very agreeable write up, Nex.
