OK, it was more management direction this week - as opposed to the retailer stuff last week.

DS part:
http://www.famitsu.com/game/news/2006/06/07/103,1149665992,54485,0,0.html

Stats (for Japan):
32% of DS owners bought Animal Crossing
23% Mario Kart
14% Tetris
20% New Super Mario Bros
10 titles have shipped a million now, quite a feat.

Opera will be delayed a month... coming out in July now.

The Oneseg TV tuner will go on sale in Autumn and will cost "approximately half the price of the DS hardware" = ~8400 yen.

Nintendo aims to continue the Touch Generations series, with the balance between "non-games" and games being very important to them. Seems they want to get more non-gamers into games gradually - the above stats seem to indicate such a motion.

Pokemon will have wi-fi worldwide voicechat.

Wii part:
http://www.famitsu.com/game/news/2006/06/07/103,1149672727,54492,0,0.html

Shipping 4 million by the end of the calendar year (worldwide)
Pokemon Battle Revolution will be out a few months after Pearl/Diamond and will link with the DS game.

New games (not just the emulated stuff) on Virtual Console could also be 500-1000 yen.

Main DS-Wii connectivity will be:
- touch-screen controller
- Wii = DS station, like the shop kiosks
- DS games can be expanded via Wii

Pokemon Wii:

Do we have any word on how Pokemon over wi-fi will work? Just battles and trades, or something more?

I haven't bought a Pokemon game for about 6 years, but I think I'll get this one.

Tadaima · Jun 7, 2006

Pokemon will have wi-fi worldwide voicechat.

Great! So perhaps Wi-Fi battling is a possibility then.

I take it the rest of those stats apply to Japan? Or are those "global" percentages?

I still wonder what the wifi will be all about in D/P.

Jonnyram · Jun 7, 2006

%s are Japan, sorry for the lack of clarification.

Mr. Pointy · Jun 7, 2006

Swearing at 10-year olds through Pokemon Wi-Fi will be the greatest thing ever.

Rotanibor · Jun 7, 2006

Is that Opera release date of July just for Japan? Or can I expect to have Opera myself here in America at that time?

GhostSeed · Jun 7, 2006

This is either going to be the best or worst thing ever.

I could see it only being available from Nintendo's online store here.

Pokemon Battle Revolution for Wii will be released several months after the DS Pokemon

Rocked · Jun 7, 2006

:lol They didn't even bother including the Xbox's.

Jonnyram · Jun 7, 2006

And NSMB up to 1.25 million sales, apparently.

Possibly huge if it also uses Wifi.

I don't like the sound of "Battle Revolution".

Anything else about the game or just the name

Which means the 20% figure earlier doesn't make sense.

good news.

could be big, but it also sounds like it could be a link-up game with diamond/pearl.

great timing, sure to sell a few consoles.

Yeah, sounds like a Pokemon Stadium type game. I hope not.

Jonnyram · Jun 7, 2006

The link-up is confirmed in the meeting. It's probably just another stadium-type game.

fly high ~ayunite~ · Jun 7, 2006

So is it safe to assume that the DS has been a success?

Looks a lot better than the GC Pokemon games.

Its confirmed most of e3 wasn't on final hardware.

Emotions · Jun 7, 2006

Oh that look gorgeous.

:O

edit - financial year or by end of dec?

Scalemail Ted · Jun 7, 2006

Does this mean the rumors about mario paint might be true? (i.e. using the DS touch screen as an input for Mario Paint Wii

iifu · Jun 7, 2006

Could this be huge for Wii in Japan? A Pokémon game this early in the life cycle of the system possibly riding the wave of D/P's success?

TheKingsCrown · Jun 7, 2006

What the hell?
4 million by the end of the year IN JAPAN?

VOOK · Jun 7, 2006

OMG Its a Wednesday-ton!

DarknessTear · Jun 7, 2006

Saying that Pokemon will have voice chat is bad. Picture the Nintendo 64 kid with a mic. :lol

TheKingsCrown · Jun 7, 2006

Peeps need to make new threads for 1. Pokemon Wii 2. Shipped numbers of Wii once we confirm if that is year end or fiscal year.

Calendar year.

Slurpy2k20 · Jun 7, 2006

If those pokemon pics are indeed realtime, they are awesome. Even with the shitty shot quality you can tell its WAY beyond GC, especially with the lighting around the models.

VOOK · Jun 7, 2006

I was bitching and moaning today about how Nintendo probably wont say anything about anything this week, and this happens, hooray!

TheKingsCrown · Jun 7, 2006

Wtfmate? Mr. Ram, isn't that quite a large number?

McBacon · Jun 7, 2006

I think its safe to say that - that looks amazing.

Jonnyram · Jun 7, 2006

Actually, it's the same as Sony's PS3 estimates.

Isn't Sony's 4m worldwide this year? Not just for 1 territory.

jesusraz · Jun 7, 2006

Can someone re-host that image, please? Work filters are blocking it...

4 million shipped by end of Dec '06 in Japan? Shine Get!
