New Punch-Out!! Coming Out For Wii?

Nintendo wants 1200 points for Ocarina on VC.

[Aeropause - The Goods On Gaming] Joystiq has the scoop on February's Virtual Console lineup in Japan, and arguably the most important title in the N64 library has appeared at an irritating 1200 points. Again, those of us with the Gamecube Zelda Collector's Edition as well as the Ocarina of Time/Master Quest bonus disc really have no reason to er, Epona up for this downloadable version, as we already got at least two copies free.

Wii decal takes you back in time, and for no reason

[gearfuse] Just one qualm about the console decal: why does it say Revolution. Of course, the Wii’s code name was Revolution, but once the name Wii was announced, Revolution was supposed to be thrown away into the pits of generic names hell.

Developer: The Wii-Mote Can Do More, Way More

[Kotaku, the Gamer’s Guide] Honestly, every Wii game should have two sets of controls. The simple "I suck ass at shedding inhibitions/I am a fat lard who can't move" gesture controls and the complex "I want to immerse myself in this game no matter what it takes/I want to look like a goofy person no matter who's watching" controls.

Active gaming burns more calories, coordination still a concern

[Joystiq] Even if kids, on average, burn twice as many calories while on the dancepad than while button-smashing a gamepad, they're still simply engaged in virtual activity. Wii Sports might be all the rage but "touching a virtual ball is not the same thing as catching a real ball," warns Active Healthy Kids Canada director of development Jennifer Cowie Bonne, "You need those types of [real life] fundamental skills to build a foundation for a lifelong involvement in other types of physical activity." You wouldn't want Junior to grow up throwing baseballs like a pansy, would you?

Mercury Meltdown Revolution Preview and New Images

[ Nintendo Wii Zone] This is an excerpt from the Preview and some new images of the Nintendo Wii Game Mercury Meltdown Revolution by CVG But where as Monkey Ball has you hold the Remote like a pointer which makes tilting the platform forward rather awkward, Mercury has you hold the remote horizontally with both hands, with the face of the Remote facing upwards. This immediately feels more comfortable, and with two hands firmly planted on either end of the Remote, you feel like you have a far great degree of control - making small, delicate movements with two hands on the Remote is far easier than with one.

Mayo Clinic prescribes active games

[Joystiq] While the Wii will unlikely burn the fat like Dance Dance Revolution would, they can add a bit to the marketing pamphlet to say the Wii requires exercise (if used right) for something their kid would otherwise be vegetating to do. As if we needed any more reasons to buy a Wii.
