That Nintendo conference was pretty awesome. I came. Twice. Seeing the Wii controller in action was really something. Not a lot of specific information was revealed, but we do now know that the Wii will be out 4th Quarter 2006, along with the new Zelda game - which will also be released on the Gamecube. They gave a demonstration of it using the Wii controller, and it looked great. Like using the Nunchuck (which also has a motion sensor) to sheild and attack while Z-Targetting, and using the right-hand controller to aim with the bow and arrows. They also showed demos of Red Steel, Mario Galaxy (new Mario!), and Metroid.
It seems the final secret about the remote is the built in speaker: IGN article here.
I also thought it was funny how Nintendo was able to take a jab at itself: "About the name: We want to thank all the people that wrote good things about it the first time they heard it...both of you." I lol'd. Seeing Miyamoto play Tennis was also hilarious. He's the goofiest fucking guy.
I'm willing to bet it won't be $500. They were sparse on details, but they did seem to stress how it would be cheaper than its competitors.Originally Posted by Knives122
