Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Nintendo announced that its new Wii video game console will launch in the Americas on Nov. 19 at an MSRP of $249.99. The console comes packed with a collection of five sports games, called Wii Sports, as well as a Wii Remote, which lets players control action in their games through the motion of the controller itself. More than 30 games will be available for Wii by the end of the year.
The price includes one wireless Wii Remote controller, one Nunchuk
controller and the collection of five different Wii Sports games on one
disc.
Every Wii console includes a series of on-screen "channels" that make
up the Wii Channel Menu, a the starting point for all of the console's
functions. When connected to a TV, the Wii Channel Menu offers a simple
interface, letting users pick games to play, get news or weather, view
and send photos or create playable caricatures of themselves to use in
actual games.
Additional functions allow users to redeem Wii Points and download classic games to Wii's Virtual Console.
Wii also has a unique controller whose position can be detected in 3-D
space. The new controller allows users to pinpoint targets in games.
according to Nintendo, the control system is intuitive and will be
understood immediately by everyone, regardless of their previous
experience with video games.
For example, in the Wii Sports tennis game, players swing the Wii
Remote like a racket to hit the ball, as in real life. They can add
topspin or slice the ball by angling their hands and wrist like they
would in a real match.
"Wii reinvents games for the devoted player," says Nintendo of America
President Reggie Fils-Aime. "But more importantly, Wii breaks the wall separating players from non-players by delivering the best game
experiences for the most affordable price. We believe the next leap is
games for the masses -- young and old, gamer or non, alone, with a
friend or with the whole family."
