Musicians in your band jam by simply playing their instruments to the beat of a song or by improvising to their heart’s content. Play faster. Play slower. Skip a beat, or throw in 10 more. No matter what you do, Wii Music automatically transforms your improv stylings into great music. There are no mistakes—just playing for the pure joy of playing.
或是要即席演奏出自己內心的歌曲
演奏快一點。演奏慢一點。遺漏一個拍子甚至跳過10拍子
不管你做什麼。Wii Music都會自動地將你演奏風格轉變成好的音樂
不會有什麼錯誤—就只是演奏出那純粹愉悅的演奏

A portion of a GameDaily interview with Take-Two’s CEO Ben Feder…
BIZ: What about GTA on the Wii, or is that being considered for the future? If the hardcore market is underserved on the Wii, maybe bringing GTA to Wii would be perfect for it…
BF: I can’t comment on it, but obviously we have one of the best selling third –party games on the Wii in Carnival Games from 2K Play, so we know the Wii pretty well. We’re building up assets to develop for the Wii and we’re excited about its growth. I can’t comment on GTA specifically on the Wii…
問:有關GTA登陸Wii一事，這會是未來所考量的嗎? 如果硬體市場被Wii所
佔據也許將橫行霸道帶進來，對Wii來說會是完美的。
答:我不能評論這件事，但明顯地我們在Wii有著最佳銷量的第3廠遊戲
Carnival Games來自於2K Play，所以我們對Wii清楚的很。
我們正在Wii建立我們的資產，且我們對Wii的成長感到興奮。我真的不能對
是否確切登陸Wii有所評論
A portion of a Siliconera interview with Yoshinori Ono, the Producer of Street Fighter IV…
S: Right now we know Street Fighter IV will come out on three home platforms, but have you thought about the Wii at all?
YO: The more people that ask about it, the more likely we are to move in that direction. The very existence of Street Fighter IV was based on people asking about it for so long. If we get a lot of requests it will be something we will think about. It might be difficult to reproduce the graphics exactly as they are, but the gameplay should be completely intact. It’s something we can think about.
S: Here’s a thought. You know how Capcom is reviving Mega Man 9? Maybe you can use sprites like in the old Street Fighter games and have a special Wii version.
YO: Maybe we can do some kind of collaboration with the HD remix or something. We’ll have to think about that one.
問: 現在我們知道快打旋風會登陸三大家用平台，但你們到底有沒有想過
Wii平台呢?
就是因為人們一直詢問它好久而產生的，假如我們一直被有所要求最後我們
就會開始考慮, 要將圖象再翻版的跟原本一樣會有點困難，但那遊玩方式會原
封不動的保留下來。這是我們所有想像得到的。
快打旋風遊戲裡可以使用妖精一樣且會有一個特別Wii版本。
“In a perfect world, to me, I still think it would be cool as hell to see Ryu from “Street Fighter” and Scorpion from Mortal Kombat. I just think it would be cool. To me, “Mortal Kombat vs. Street Fighter vs. Tekken vs. Virtua Fighter” would be the coolest in the world.” - Mortal Kombat co-creator Ed Boon
Scorpion來自真人快打
對我而言，真人快打對決快打旋風對決鐵拳對決VR快
將會是世界上最炫的事了
Luffy and friends are attacked by a mysterious structure coming from the ocean
- new designs are being supervised by the original artist
- stages begin with a ship landing point
- collect items/fight enemies
- start missions by feeding Gaburi items
- some enemies fall from trees as nuts, then form into giant bosses. Beat the boss, get the nuts,
feed them to Gaburi, and receive treasure
- feeding Gaburi is very important
- option to replay stages once completed
- use a human slingshot or cannon to quickly travel to locations
“I think we need a lot more people buying the current version before we seriously consider a sequel.” - Capcom’s Corporate Officer/VP of Strategic

心之傳奇將會展示，而且會有一些和配音員的訪談。
“I’m definitely interested in WiiWare and I think it’s one of the areas that 2D can still be very strong at. I’m very much looking into that.
我對WiiWare很感興趣且我認為這是其領域中2D遊戲仍能
強烈發揮的所在。
Mega Man 9 is very hard. We didn’t want to do Mega Man, but easy. We want players to get better, we want them to remember. I’ve always tried to challenge players, and I think there are gamers who miss being challenged by games. - Hironobu Takeshita, producer
Mr. Takeshita also expressed an interest in creating more Wii games.
洛克人9是款很難的遊戲，我們不想製作那種太過簡單的洛克人。
我們要玩家能更好且要他們記得這款遊戲，我一直嘗試著去挑戰玩家
我認為有些玩家也想念能被遊戲有所挑戰
Mr. Takeshita也表示有興趣製作更多Wii遊戲。
PROS: Fantastic story, classic Final Fantasy gameplay, great voice acting
CONS: Over-powered bosses, No innovative stylus controls
優點: 街極的故事劇情，經典太空戰士式遊完方式，很棒的語音表現
缺點: 過度強大的魔王，沒有創新的觸控操作
I respect the way Microsoft addresses the other hardware developers. In this interview, you can see that Microsoft’s Shane Kim has a lot of respect for Nintendo, and openly admits that Microsoft wants to reach the same level of casual success that Nintendo has.
我尊重微軟對其它硬體開發商的方式。
在這則訪談裡，微軟對任天堂充滿敬意，且大方地表示
微軟要向任天堂一樣在輕玩家領域裡達到相同層次的成功。
This is the one thing that I really don’t agree with Nintendo on. They didn’t tell any third parties that the Wii MotionPlus existed. Really, I think that is a horrible move on their part. It does nothing but anger the third parties that have been working hard to find a market on the Wii. I know that Nintendo is worried about keeping secrets, but I don’t doubt that they could have formed some non-disclosure agreement with at least a few close third-parties.
有一件事無法認同任天堂，就是他們沒告訴第3廠商Wii MotionPlus的存在。
的確，他們這樣的舉動我認為是可怕的，這跟第3廠商一直努力想在Wii
這領域找市場無關。任天堂擔心的是保密問題，但我不禁懷疑
他們是否可以和一些較親近的第3廠商達成一些非揭露的協議。
If we get 1,000 in on Thursday or Friday they are all gone by Sunday. We comfortably sell out of our allocation.” - DSGi spokesperson
“I think a lot of people have realised that if they don’t buy one now, it could be even more difficult, if not impossible to buy one later in the year. Wii Fit is far more than just another game – it’s a virtual workout that will get British couch potatoes off the sofa and into shape.” - Darren McKillop, Wii-consoles.co.uk
假如在周四或周五拿到1000份的WiiFit在周日時會全部銷售一空。
我們對產品的分配感到愉悅。
我想許多人已了解到，假如他們現在不買一台的話，將來會更難買到。
更不可能在今年以後買到。Wii Fit不僅僅只是另一種遊戲而已—
它是一個虛擬的鍛鍊遊戲，會讓英國那些懶骨頭離開沙發然後去健身。
Microsoft’s Xbox 360 RPG Premiere 2008 event in Tokyo, which we reported about yesterday, has started and the first few bits of new information is starting to appear.
Namco confessed to attendees that a demo for the RPG Tales of Vesperia will be released on Xbox Live this month, but it’s not yet known which countries it’ll be available in – could very well be
They also confirmed that the game would be released in the
微軟X360RPG2008在東京的初次公開會裡，已經開始且也透露第一手
新訊息。
但那一個國家
另外證實這款遊戲在八月時在美國和日本推出，而歐洲版本的發售會在2009。
日本雅虎公開一個倒數網頁，裡頭有關神奇寶貝白金版的所有消息。
可以看到遊戲的訊息，遊戲畫面，插圖，還有更多更多。
At E3, we didn’t see anything new as far as balance board support is concerned. Is this something we should worry about? Not too long ago, we heard that multiple third parties were interested in the accessory. I thought for sure we would hear about some new titles at E3, but not even Nintendo had anything new to show off. Is the balance board already fading away into obscurity?
在E3沒看到任何跟平衡版有關的新消息。
我們應該有所擔心嗎? 就在不久以前，聽到多家第三廠商都對平衡版
很感興趣。原本以為會在E3聽到許多新作的消息，但就連任天堂
也沒什麼新的可透露。難道平衡版已經逐漸衰退了嗎?
Many gamers have been breeding secret hopes of seeing a second Shenmue sequel on next-gen consoles, but it won’t happen. Sega president Simon Jeffery shot down those hopes, stating that there are no plans for Shenmue 3 now. However, to keep our hopes alive, he didn’t say there’s “not a chance.” Right?
許多玩家一直懷著希望可以看到莎木系利現身於次世代主機，
但它不可能發生了。SEGA社長摧殘那些希望，表示現在沒有莎木3的計畫
然而，仍舊存有希望，他沒說”完全沒機會”不是嗎?
轉貼自GO NINTENDOMSNBC: How long of a lifespan do you see for the Wii?
Miyamoto: In looking at video games, and obviously, it’s been a short history, I’ve seen patterns where you have more refinements as you go from one system to the next, followed by big evolutions, or big changes. And example would be going from the NES to the Super NES was more of a refinement, and going from the Super NES to the Nintendo 64 was more of a big advancement.
So, looking at the recent history, I’d say that the DS and Wii together represent some of those very big changes, both on the handheld and the home console side. Based on past history, I would guess that we would see some refinement sometime in the next five to 10 years and then in another five to 10 years, you would see probably the next big evolution.
問: 你怎麼看Wii主機的生命周期？
宮本:看看電視遊樂器這領域吧，很顯然地一直是個簡短的歷史，
所仿照的就是從一個主機系統到下一代主機系統更加的精緻高尚，然後
伴隨著極大的演化，或是極大的改變。一個例子就是從NES(紅白機)
到了Super NES(超任)是更加的精緻，然後又從Super NES到了N64
又是一個極大的突破。
那看看近代歷史，我會說DS和Wii是那些大變化裡的代表，
兩者在掌機領域上和家用機領域上。根據過去的歷史，我猜測
在下一個5到10年裡我們會看到一些精緻高尚的東西，然後在另一個
5到10年裡，你可能會看到下一個極大的演化。
NINTENDO Didn't lie to us
We all want to know where the core games are. The vast majority of us feel slighted by what Nintendo showed off during their press conference. Where is all the core support we kept hearing about? Well, it may be on the way very soon. Nintendo never said that they would show core titles at E3, they said they would talk core titles around E3. Just how long after E3 counts as “around”? We are in a grace period for now, but as each day passes, we are left wondering when that time is going to happen.
在他們的記者會展場上。我們從那可以聽到核心遊戲呢? 嗯，也許就在進
行中了。任天堂從來沒說他們會在E3展現核心遊戲，他們是說會談談核心遊
戲 。在E3後他們所認為的”到處”有多久呢?現在我們表現出風度，但隨著每天
過去我們在想什麼時候才會發生呢?
I don’t know how anyone could think that this is a good idea, but obviously, the people at Konami have something in mind. There is a Yu-Gi-Oh! game coming to the Wii, and it’s not going to be a card battler. It’s not going to be a strategic title at all. Konami’s exact comments about the title were “Think racing.”
將有一款遊戲王的遊戲要登陸Wii，不是卡片戰鬥，也不會是一款策略遊戲。
Konami明確的表示此款遊戲會是”考慮賽車遊戲”。
In the upcoming Samba de Amigo release for Nintendo’s wii, there will be a special guest cameo by Sonic himself. And a stage set in the Green Hill Zone.
音速小子本身。且還有一個舞台設定在綠丘地區
He’s a busy man… This is a portion from his recent interview with 1Up.
1UP: Since the Nintendo DS has a built-in microphone, is there a possibility of Wii-to-DS communication with WiiSpeak?
Shigeru Miyamoto: The DS microphone can obviously be used for communication among DS users, but the functionality and technology in WiiSpeak and the DS microphone are very different. Of course, we’re looking into that, but it’s a unique situation
1UP: 既然NDS已內建了麥克風了，是否有這個可能性以WiiSpeak來達成
Wii連結到DS的溝通
但是WiiSpeak在功能和科技上和DS的麥克風是完全不同的。
當然，我們認真看待這問題，不過這是個特殊的情況。
I don’t know if this is news, but I’ve been receiving tons of tips for it so here you go!
“Yeah, I’m not the producer of any Kid Icarus titles,” he said coyly. “There are some people who have some different ideas, but since I’m not the producer I can’t comment on anything.”
Then again:
“I’m not the producer of any Kid Icarus game, so I really can’t say anything. Sorry.”
嗯嗯，我不是任何Kid Icarus遊戲的製作人，但有一些傢伙有著些許
不同的想法，
再重申一次：
我不是任何Kid Icarus遊戲的製作人，所以我不能說什麼。抱歉
言下之意是?? 很明顯了
轉貼至GO NINTENDOLegendary designer and director Sid Meier discusses Civilization with Entertainment Weekly:
EW: How would you describe Civilization for those unfamiliar with the series?
SID MEIER: Civilization is a game that lets you create your own unique history of the world. You start with just a small band of settlers at the dawn of civilization, and you found cities, build armies, negotiate with leaders, discover cool technologies — as we say: you basically lead your people from the Stone Age to the Space Age.
問: 你要如何詮釋那些對文明帝國系列不熟悉的人?
文明帝國可以讓你創造你自己獨一無二歷史的世界的這樣一個遊戲。
在文明帝國之初一開始你們只是一群移民者，然後你發現城市，建造軍隊
和統治者協調，發現炫的科技—如同我們所說，你帶領你的人民從青銅時期
到了太空時期.
“What I find what is fun about music [games] is when you really get into a good rhythm and you have a great time performing. But the challenge is then, how do you do that in a way where people don’t have to worry about hitting the wrong note or making a mistake? So, that’s really been our focus with designing Wii Music.” - Shigeru Miyamoto
就我對音樂遊戲的樂趣在於你真的沉迷於那旋律裡而且你很享受在那伴奏上。
但挑戰在於，你要如何做以一種方式讓人們不需去擔心敲錯浮號或是敲錯了
呢? 所以，那就是我們專注於設計Wii Music.
為特色。這公司也表示這模式會以WiiSpeak為其特色，任天堂新的線上麥克風
轉帖至GO NINTENDO這最終要看任天堂要怎樣推動MotionPlus。目前他們只宣布它為一個
附加的配件 來吸引已經有Wii控制器的玩家，然而，你必須考量到
這項附加品所增加到新控制器的費用。假如任天堂要把MotionPlus
當做是Wii體驗的一個整體的話，未來每個新的Wii控制器都要加上這項
附加品。假如他們僅只想要當做一個額外的週邊來看，像是平衡版，
賽車方向盤，或是麥克風，然後讓押低Wii控制器的費用，那，
它仍舊是今天初次露面的小巧可愛積木。
果凍套，但Reggie公布一個延伸的Wii果凍套會附於每個Wii Sport Resort
的遊戲裡
一個接口, 能夠讓你接上你的雙截棍或其它週邊，而且，任天堂現在公布社區
之音叫做WiiSpeak, 它是個30元的設計放在你電視的上方能夠讓每個在客廳的
人線上交談，這項宣布意謂著不需要讓Wii MotionPlus有對談的功能了
就一個程式設計師的觀點來看，透過補丁(或是Wii的韌體)來更新軟體是
有可能的以強化遊戲的動態追蹤, 顯然可能性不高。電視遊樂器的製作
人都是向前思考的，他們不喜歡太常更新舊軟體(除非牽涉到金錢問題)。
並轉變成一種可行的能量來源。所以回答你的問題，是的，但是會
因你手部能量的搖晃而再度充滿電。真正的答案是:對的．然而更重
要的問題是需要多少電池? 這項事實目前還很難說到底是如何強化Wii控制器
的動態感應能力。假如Motion Plus真的採用迴轉儀科技就如同上面所述，
那的確會比一般傳統加速計更耗能量
