e3 logoNintendo has announced another addition to its game line. WiiSportsResort. WiiSportsResort features a large amount of games, quite a bit more than the orignal WiiSports. Some new titles include a frisbee throwing game, a jetski game, and a fencing/sword fighting game.

These games will be played with the new WiiMotionPlus, an attachment for the WiiMote that increases its sensitivity. Examples are the throttle on the jetski game is controlled by rotating the WiiMote, the frisbee angle controlled by the position of the Wiimote.

e3 logoNintendo is offering a new feature to DS owners who use their handhelds for entertainment in the airport. The DS will be able to pick up airport data, and show passengers what gate their flight is at, the status of the flight, the luggage information, etc. This will expedite traveling and possibly make the airport a little bit more enjoyable.

Looks similar to the interface Nintendo has had at Safeco field in Seattle, which allows people to view highlights, view other game stats, buy food, etc.

e3 logoNintendo has added VoiceChat to the wii, but in a manner significantly different than that of the other console makers. Instead of making each player wear a headset, WiiSpeak works more like an enterprise TeleConference system. That is, there is one microphone (It sits atop the sensor bar), and everyone talks into it. Voice comes from the TV speakers.

Animal Crossing Wii is said to support this feature

e3 logoI know what your thinking Uggh, ANOTHER music game. Nintendo claims this one will be different. There are supposedly over 50 instruments, from japanese drums to saxophones. The game supports up to 4 players, and will evaluate your preformance, and give you the option to record a video and share it with friends.

Nintendo wants this to be similar to the other Wii series of games, like WiiSports and WiiFit.
