Nintendo Unveils Wii Fit Plus Launch Date and New Colors of Nintendo DSi, Wii Remote
Announcements Give Consumers New Options
NOTE: Multimedia available here
LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Nintendo today announced that the new Wii Fit Plus game will launch in North America on Oct. 4, and also revealed new colors for its popular Nintendo DSi system and for the revolutionary Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers and Wii MotionPlus accessory. Starting Sept. 13, Nintendo DSi will be available in White and Pink, joining the Blue and Black versions already on the market. Additionally, this holiday season, Nintendo will release a new Black version of the Wii Remote bundled with a Black version of the Wii MotionPlus accessory, which brings precise motion control to games that have been designed for it. A Black version of the Nunchuk controller also will be available for the holidays.
Nintendo of America President & COO Reggie Fils-Aime made these announcements in his keynote address at the 2009 GameStop Manager Conference.
All of these announcements bring more options and more choices to consumers as our industry heads into its busiest time of the year, Fils-Aime said. Each of these products allows consumers to enjoy a more personal gaming experience, no matter how they choose to play.
Here are the details of todays announcements:
* Wii Fit Plus: This enhanced version of the top-selling game offers a range of new features, along with new exercises, yoga activities and balance games designed to keep workouts fun. For the first time, users can customize their workouts to target specific areas of their bodies or to fill specific intervals of time. Wii Fit Plus will replace the current Wii Fit configuration at retail, and will be bundled with the Wii Balance Board accessory at a suggested retail price of $99.99. For people who currently own Wii Fit and want to add the expanded options to their fitness regimen, the Wii Fit Plus disc will be available on its own at a suggested retail price of $19.99.
* White and Pink Nintendo DSi colors: The two new colors give consumers even more options to personalize their experiences. All models of the Nintendo DSi hardware come with two cameras and interactive options to let users create and manipulate pictures or sound in fun and creative ways. All versions of Nintendo DSi are available at a suggested retail price of $169.99.
* Wii Remote and Wii MotionPlus Black bundle: The Black bundle is the first new color for the Wii Remote and Wii MotionPlus.
* Black Nunchuk: The Black Nunchuk will be available as a standalone purchase.
Remember that the Wii console features parental controls that let adults manage the content their children can access. For more information about Nintendo products, visit www.Nintendo.com.

Are you paying attention, Konami? Square-Enix? I want my HD MGS3, 60FPS ZoE2, and HD FFXII, dammit!
I will definitely be picking this up, though!
Shiiiiiiiiit. I'd buy 10.
Good to hear, since to maximize profits, its going to be a 10 part collection, with each disk as its own retail package! You will have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, and 12, all remade in ether brilant 2D or 3D, depending on how the orignal was, with full VA to boot. Its going to be fantastic I tell you.Kagari said:

Hopefully they throw in some nice graphical improvements. Maybe use the cutscene quality Kratos ingame for a higher poly count. Throw in some relatively easy lighting improvements (HDR)... Not expecting an overhaul, but just a push to HD and anti-aliasing will be a little disappointing.

I never played GOW1, just GOW2. I took a break from gaming when GOW1 came out, too much going on at work. So it will be great to play through GOW1 in HD.
Just when I thought I knew the line-up for this fall...
They would be smart to include a demo for GOW3 on the disc as well. Fingers crossed. Even would be cool as a bonus for finishing the games to provide extra incentive. Though maybe that'd piss a lot of people off, I don't know.

Considering the turn-around, I really doubt you are going to see the improvements you are hoping for. Unless they are outsourcing this, they also have their hands full with GOW3. As soon as you add more features it has to go through so much more testing to make sure that nothing has broken. A port to HD with AA would not require nearly as much testing.
MARCH 2010? GIVE IT TO ME NOW.
Very much want this. Now it gets me wondering though:
Is this only playable on the PS3 because they're remastering the (as in, recoding, rebuilding) the game to work on the new Cell architecture, or is it because they have found (gasp) a way to make the PS3 do decent PS2 emulation (I guess in certain cases)?
Seems like the former, rather than the latter, although I suppose while one of my dreams have come true...

I dread the Trophies for GOW1. Unless they make some updates it'll be Challenge of the Gods with no savepoints, Pillars of Hades, fucking pushing that fucking dude in the cage up that fucking hill for half an hour. Mark me down for Platinuming GOW2, but I'm not even trying the first game:lol

I hope we europeans get a chance to play GoW1 uncensored now.
In the original european release the guy in the cage was changed in a zombie in a cage.
Not quite the same...

I doubt it too, but I can at least imagine Square Enix keeping an eye on how this will perform. It could serve as a barometer for future re-releases of classic titles, such as the Team Ico games and past PS1 and PS2 classics.
Me? I'll happily take a Chrono Trigger 720p re-release, please.

I wonder if I will be able to find time to play it but I will surely get it as a God of War Collector

200 pages later I say...freitax said:Still, gow has some good textures, great lighting and good models, the hd bump and AA will sure make it look great and we still don't know if they will put new textures or new models, also the ps2 wasn't the n64 so I will love the hd jump, I know this because I love to see it in my pc monitor
How many people here that are totally pumped are honestly in the same situation as you though? I imagine tons of people still have their PS2's and GoW discs around
Not saying this isn't sweet, Im just surprised this MANY people are shitting their pants!

man ..who is behind all these moves at sony recently? talk about timing ...
if they get GT5 out this year it'll be another masterstroke .... talk about being patent and lineing up yr ducks ..
you'd think MS would's done this for the halo series ... maybe rerelease halo3 in HD this time
but seriously if sony start tapping the ps2 stable of classics and give them the same treatment ... dam. but put them on PSN ...even in HD these things can't be filling up much of a bluray ..

The story's not bad. The characters and dialogue are shit, but the story's decent. The end of GoW2 is awesome.
The story in GoW is head and shoulders above other action games, at least.

I know, it's crazy. I did not expect a $299 Slim (expected another $399 deal like when we got the 80GB Motorstorm bundle). I did not expect this. I did not expect them to make ads that were worth shit. After so many years of blunders, it's surprising to see them do so much right in such a sort span of time.
