Nintendo’s E3 2006 press conference

LOS ANGELES, May 9, 2006 — Anyone can tell you how video games look. Nintendo wants you to experience how they can feel. Today Nintendo unveils the next leap in gaming by demonstrating its upcoming Wii™ home console, which lets users manipulate action on their television screens through the precise, life-like motion of the Wii Remote. Continuing Nintendo’s long tradition of developing highly innovative products that redefine the standards for the industry, Wii (pronounced “we”) will allow players to “feel” games in a way never known before: the adrenaline of a tennis match, the thrill of making an airplane bank or the rush of gripping the wheel of a speeding truck. The control scheme is simple enough that everyone, no matter what their prior gaming experience, can use it with ease and will want to try it. “Not only is Wii compelling to current game players, but it also will entice new players with new experiences,” explains Nintendo President Satoru Iwata. “To expand the total number of game players, we must make our experience both friendlier and more compelling. With Wii, it is.” Iwata made his comments during Nintendo’s annual media briefing in Los Angeles prior to the start of the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) global video game trade show. Thanks to Nintendo’s leadership in innovation, Wii will challenge conventional thinking and will be a disruptive element in the video game industry. Players manipulate their games through the motion of the remote control-like

    @zokamoka1 yeah but…according to their biggest fans, motion control gaming is just a lame gimmick that will get old fast…

    at least thats what they said 4 years ago
    and now theyre rushing out and buying the move and kinect…and spending a hell of alot in the process

  17. zokamoka1 says:

    @rockerseven Common….Shitbox and Crapstation just came out with their versions not to long ago…..

    The Wii is my favorite system of this generation, but they really need to pull out a Wii HD, or try something new to get their lost sales back. Nintendo, I know you can do it. Just surprise us

  21. JuicyPlayer says:

    They fucking fooled me with this E3. Most of the way those people are playing Wii games is impossible to do without motion plus.

  22. PESFlavio says:

    @12chapin Probably in the next 2 or 3 years :(
    But i dont think its is going to be called wii 2, because nintendo never used numbers, like PS2, PS3, Xbox 360, nintendo is always creative
