Experience Mario Super Sluggers' site
The Japanese website for Mario Super Sluggers has gone live and it's chock full of those experience videos we saw awhile back. Also at the site, you'll find a trailer for the game, but most of you probably saw that yesterday.But, if there's one thing these experience videos show us, it's a real-time representation of how the game will be played when it finally gets in our hands. And, that couldn't be soon enough. We can only take so many extremely short games of baseball in Wii Sports.%Gallery-24326%
New Forever Blue videos wash on shore
Supplementing Forever Blue's (Endless Ocean) official site launch earlier this week, Nintendo has uploaded a batch of new media in anticipation of the scuba diving adventure's August 2nd release in Japan. North America, always a step and a few months behind, won't see the WiFi-enabled game until October 29th, but there's a lot of new stuff to preview in the meantime -- three commercials, three Wii experience sessions, and an extensive gameplay demonstration video. The pacific music playing during the advertisement spots is Secret Garden's "Prayer," covered by New Zealander Hayley Westenra. You'll be able to customize Forever Blue's soundtrack by loading your own MP3s onto an SD Card, as with Excite Truck, so your dreams of listening to Enya while exploring underwater caves and attending formal events with penguins can finally be realized.
Wii experience = fun console, boring living room
Of Nintendo's latest installment in their marketing push of the Wii is the Wii Experience, which is several different videos of folks from all walks of life enjoying several different Wii titles in bland, simulated living rooms. The videos are meant to depict how one, who we imagine is not all too familiar with gaming on the whole, might enjoy the console and games offered. This has to, by far, be our favorite session as he looks a lot like Dr. Z from those Chrysler commercials. So how do you all receive these Wii Experience videos? Are they a good way to introduce the Wii and entice those who might otherwise scoff at a video game console?
