Don't know how many games it has, but I'm sure I saw a video of it starting up yesterday that had a screen telling you you needed a nunchuck.
It has 70 minigames, Super Monkey Ball has 50.

But does anybody know how many simultaneous multi-player games there are? Because by the sounds of it, most are designed for one player to have a go whilst the other waits for their turn. I'm curious about the ones where both can play at the same time.

Mate, if you can't think of anything better to do on the day you get your Wii than play Katamari Damacy on your PS2, I pity you

Looking at the ever reliable Gamefaqs

someone posed this question and got this reply:

All the dance and shooting ones are 2 player simultaneous multiplayer.

The rest of the minigames are either alternating or simultaneous for 4 players. I'd say about 1/4 to 1/3 of the remaining minigames are simultaneous multiplayer. A little disappointing, but the ones that are simultaneous are awesome.

Thanks for that. More after quality than quantity. Trying to get the girlfriend into gaming (Animal Crossing on the DS working like a charm). I suspect another nunchuck will be required.

The save game issue is still unconfirmed and I can't seem to find anything more. I have an SD card and the data management screen on the Wii is pretty nice, but obviously can't test whether i can copy save data to another console. The manual doesn't say you can't fwiw and the Wii support site doesn't say. Might pop Ninty a mail.

VC games can go on SD cards, so your not limited to internal memory, even if you are limited to the system.
Also, you can redownload, so its not much of an issue, imo.

DS reaches 7 million sales across Europe, with six titles breaking the one million sales mark

Nintendo has revealed that the DS has sold over seven million units across Europe, with six titles breaking the one million units sales mark.

Pet simulation Nintendogs has sold over four million units in Europe, while Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training and Animal Crossing: Wild World have both racked up one million sales apiece.

Nintendo's mascot continues to appeal, with Super Mario 64, Mario Kart DS and New Super Mario Bros. all enjoying sales of over 1.5 million units in the region.

"We are delighted by the success of the Nintendo DS and DS Lite and especially pleased to see that we have exceeded the one million mark with games that appeal to both non-gamers and traditional gamers," said Laurent Fischer, Nintendo's Euro marketing director.

"Nintendo is proud of its role in expanding the gaming market and we hope to continue this success with the launch of the Wii in Europe this December," he added.

I hate to piss on everybody's chips, chaps, but I've found out something terribly, awfully wrong about the new Zelda game on the Wii. I know everyone's been really waiting for this, and we've all had our hopes up that it'll be the best thing ever, so I'm really sad to be bringing such crushing news

. But it's something that simply cannot be ignored and, worse still, manifests right at the beginning of the game before you've fairly got to grips with the game. I certainly hope it won't put people off to the extent of cancelling their preorders; it's not my intent here to piss on anyone's chips or to spoil their anticipation of Dec 8th and the excitement that is building up around the Wii... but I fear the truth must be told about this really quite fundamental flaw in what we really must consider Nintendo's flagship title for the Wii.

...That's a *sheep's* baa in the Goat In game, not a goat's baa!

Wasn't this the other way round in Katamari too (goats baa for sheep, or vice versa, I forget now!)? Maybe the Japanese are baa confused or seomthing?

Cheers

Yeah, in Katamari the sheep all had a goat's baa when rolled up into the katamari. Apparently sheep aren't that common in Japan, which is maybe why they get it mixed up; although I would have thought a quick dig around the net would be enough to ascertain what is the correct baa for each beastie!
