E3 2011: Nintendo Wii Gets Zelda: Skyward Sword, Kirby Wii, Mario Party 9 and Wii Play: Motion

Nintendo's E3 2011 press conference brought forth a massive amount of information about all of its platforms, from the DS or 3DS to the current Wii or upcoming Wii U, as well as in regards to the many games that will be released for all of the platforms.

We've already presented the Nintendo Wii U together with its innovative new controller through an in-depth article with photos and video, so we're now highlighting the games Nintendo will be bringing to its existing Wii home console.

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is first, with Nintendo promising that Wii owners will get a definitive Zelda experience this holiday season with improved gameplay, support for the more accurate Wii MotionPlus technology and a huge leap in terms of the classic Zelda experience.

Skyward Sword brings a more realistic combat mechanic, with players needing to accurately wield their swords, improved puzzle solving gameplay and exploration, while the world of the game will be among the most realistic ones ever made for a Zelda game.

The game is set to appear this winter holiday season, but until then, you can check out a batch of screenshots and a video of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword for the Wii below





Next up, Nintendo presented a brand new Kirby game for the Wii called, what else, Kirby Wii. The title will see the loveable character once again embark on an epic adventure, this time in order to get a group of friendly aliens back to their home planet.

The biggest additions include new abilities for Kirby, including wielding a Sword, shooting beams, using whips or deploying leaf whirlwinds, while up to four players can engage in the game, playing as Meta Knight, King Dedede or Waddle Dee, alongside Kirby.

The game is scheduled to appear this fall for the Wii, and you can check out screenshots and a video of it below.





Next up, Nintendo showcased Wii Play: Motion, a brand new bundle package, which includes a black Wii remote as well as a dozen of brand new motion-controlled mini-games, with many variations included to increase the experience, which can be engaged by up to four players and deliver some really fun experiences.

The game looks to be quite amusing, and, until its release next week, on June 13, you can enjoy the screenshots and the commercial for Wii Play: Motion below.





Last but not least, Nintendo also showed off Mario Party 9, the next installment in the long-running party game series, which is once again bringing back classic Mario characters, including the Italian plumber himself, Princess Peach, Luigi, Wario, Yoshi and many more for a new batch of fun-filled mini-games.

Not a lot of details were presented, but you can still check out the screenshots and a video for Mario Party 9 below.
