Users will be able to watch feature films like the “Curious Case of Benjamin Button” and Kirby episodes in the new Theater no Ma (Theater Room) area.

Warner Brothers Japan, TV Asahi, Walt Disney Japan, Asmik Ace, NHK, J League Media, Sesame Workshop, Howcast, Bonus, Warp Star, Toei, NTV and the Pokemon Corporation will provide content for the service. Specific movies and anime series have not been announced, but Elmo videos should be available at launch.

Aside from this 100 Wii Point ($1) episode of Kirby, pricing is still up in the air. Please note that the fee is only for a rental and rates will vary depending on the content. One neat Theater Room feature is some videos can be transferred to a Nintendo DSi for on the go viewing.

For now, this service is only for Japan. Nintendo has not released Wii’s Room in any other region.

However, he adds that it's not yet apparent whether or not the game has "driven incremental hardware sales," a point which he notes "remains a concern for the overall videogame industry."

The meeting also covered Nintendo's ongoing strategy to drive audience expansion by targeting users of all ages and attempting to balance even further the gender split, while Sebastian also noted the launch in Japan of the company's video-on-demand service, Wii-no-Ma.

He concludes that the outlook for the publisher will depend on the software line-up for the next 12 months, as well as the ongoing strength of the DS platform, and that while 2009 was disappointing, Nintendo is "upbeat" about its prospects for 2010 - and intends to "be more vigilant" in fighting piracy.

Nintendo's share price closed down 1.1 per cent to JPY 22,250 (USD 250.58) at the end of trading on the Tokyo Stock Exchange today.

Wii.

It's the most closely he's been involved with day-to-day game design in a while, he said. "It's been a nostalgic time for me. I've been getting into the game and making the sort of fine-tuning adjustments that I made with Super Mario World and Mario 3."

Miyamoto says that the decision to go with "a very orthodox Mario" in the modern day and age was "courageous", but motivated by the decision to focus on multiplayer.

"I figured that as long as multi-play was fun, then simpler would be better for everything else, both to players and to us creators. To put it bluntly, I would've been just fine with basically making a multiplayer Super Mario World. That's not too terribly interesting, though..."

The multiplayer served Nintendo's goal of making the game more accessible to everyone without making it easier or creating multiple difficulty modes, since a talented player can carry others through it. "Even if they can't beat the game themselves, it's fun for them to experience the entirety of the game. That's why what you could call the 'story mode' is completely playable in multiplayer."

Miyamoto agrees with us that it's a tougher game than the DS New Super Mario Bros. "I do think the game has a lot more oomph to it than the first New SMB," he said. "World 1 and 2 are pretty forgiving, things ramp up starting with World 3, and it gets even harder at World 6... You could say this game is a challenge to gamers, to see if they have the perseverance it takes."

More from Miyamoto, including his thoughts on the Super Guide and how it was prefigured in Super Mario Bros. 3, over at 1UP. New Super Mario Bros. Wii is out today and it's lovely.

Preliminary VGChartz estimates are in and it looks like New Super Mario Bros Wii has become the third fastest-selling game of the year so far in the Americas with over half a million copies sold in the first day alone. The title had accumulated around 520,000 preorders as of last week and VGChartz estimates that week one sales in the Americas should come in at around one million units.

The top Wii openings in the Americas have been Super Smash Bros. Brawl which sold 1.59m units in week one, and Mario Kart Wii which sold 1.21m units in week one. New Super Mario Bros Wii is expected to start slightly below those two but should sell more in weeks 2-6 with holiday sales boosts (Super Mario Galaxy may be a better comparison as it came out at roughly the same time of year two years ago although New Super Mario Bros Wii is expected to track at least 50% higher in the coming weeks).

With Assassin's Creed 2 and Left 4 Dead 2 out tomorrow and Modern Warfare 2 still seeing enormous sales, it will be a busy week but at the moment it looks like Mario will be coming out on top.

The Legend of Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma says Nintendo hopes to show something "surprising" about Link's next Wii-bound adventure.

Aonuma tells the UK's Official Nintendo Magazine that the Zelda team has been trying "something new in terms of the structure" of the next entry in The Legend of Zelda, which Shigeru Miyamoto teased at this year's E3 in the form of new concept art.

The next Zelda game after The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks appears to be aimed at mixing up the now-familiar 3D formula. Aonuma tells ONM that he agrees with Miyamoto that "if we are following the same structure again and again, we might not be able to give long time Zelda fans a fresh surprise."

The still unnamed Zelda title will take advantage of the Wii MotionPlus peripheral and, more than likely, will offer a new role for Link's trusty Master Sword, as hinted at by the Wii game's concept art.

Motions like walking, jumping, dancing, and “crazy somersaults” are reflected on screen.

Wiiwa is said to have more than a dozen mini-games in addition to a pet sim where you have to feed and care for your orange fellow. As a concept, Wiiwaa scores discussion points for trying something unusual. Zoink Games hopes that will help the Sweden based studio find a publisher.

However, Zoink Games isn’t the only company with a Wii remote in a toy game. Babysitting Mama has a Wii remote powered toy baby peripheral.

Konami has alerted us to an upcoming and free bout of DLC for the Wii version of Pro Evolution Soccer 2010.

Simply, the update brings all player stats and data in-line with the real world. So, imagine a crazy universe where Robin Van Persie had been injured during international duty - if that was the case the game would reflect it. You might even find he was out of the Arsenal squad for six weeks! Just imagine.

We expect Konami will issue a few of these data refreshers as the season goes on.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 is out on Wii this Friday, and we'll be discussing its pros and cons in a separate review. Maybe on Wii the match between Konami's and EA's game of football isn't so one-sided. ]]> Nintendo Wii News Forum Shrygue http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=266131
