14 DAY TRIAL // A rather energizing interview with Spike's Jeff Heighley, which took place just after this year's E3 convention, reveals that Nintendo's "happy" President and Chief Operating Officer in America, Reggie Fils-Aime, has a surprise for its Wii users by/during September this year. What could it be? Let's try and guess together.
MaxConsole reports the following: "Nintendo America head honcho Reggie Fils-Aime has hinted that big surprises are in store for Wii owners this September, despite the announcement of a Check Mii Out Channel at E3 Reggie commented that there are still plans. He boasts the surprise is coming by the end of September and claims you will all like this surprise."
The interviewer couldn't help but ask about Metroid Prime 3 and whether it's going to have multiplayer or not, now that they've finally set a release date. Reggie's answer (as predictable as possible): "It's a single player experience, it really always has been..." So from starters, we can erase the online multiplayer for Metroid Prime 3 off the blackboard.
What could it be then? Another one of those Wii Fit kind-of titles? They rolled out the Wheel and the Zapper so in terms of controllers, the Wii is packed full too. New titles perhaps...? Naaa, that'd be lame. That's not a surprise; new titles are announced every day.
Oh. My. God! What if Nintendo is prepping to roll out the HDD-enabled Wii, (or even a standalone unit) to finally enable gamers to save all those Wii Shop Channel downloadables and even games on DVDs, without the fuss of swapping between SD cards? That'd be a really great surprise. Last time I checked though, Nintendo's officials completely dismissed a hard drive for the Wii, so... Yeah, we'll just have to wait, like we always do. Keep fingers crossed for the hard drive though.
