I’m back! Ireland was an alright trip, I enjoyed travelling with my cousin and my Irish relatives are (as always) a good laugh

The weather wasn’t brilliant; it rained most of the time and was very cold, but that didn’t stop us jumping into the sea/lakes/rivers… I must have swam so much that holiday!

Not a lot has happened in the world of Nintendo since I left, although I have seen some advertisments for the Wii Motion Plus, which I reviewed a while back. It looks pretty good, but I’m still unsure as too whether it is worth the price tag – which Nintendo didn’t actually mention on their adverts

Anyways, I’m back and I hope you didn’t miss me too much while I was away. More nintendo news and facts coming soon!

The nintendo wii exclusive game, “Wii Play” – which features a collection of nine entertaining & interactive ”minigames” has finally passed the 10,000,000 mark in units sold, since its release 2 years ago in Feburary. Following this acheivment, lets have a little look back at the success of Nintendo Products over the previous year.

The actual Wii consoles sales were up over 70% early last year, with both the Nintendo Wii and the Nintendo DS becoming the top-selling gaming systems of that year.

Its not only the hardware that was doing brilliantly last year either… half of the Top 10 games of last year were nintendo made, including the hugely popular Wii Fit, Mario Kart Wii/DS & of course, Wii Play. A total of approx 1.5 million of these games were sold.

Lets hope that Nintendo continue in their creation of brilliant and innovative products, as well as high quality games. The huge sales of seperate Wiimotes suggest that the Wii is fast becoming the social gaming system – in reality & online.

Remember, you can pick up a Wii for free, or any other games console, laptop or ipod… for totally free at freejeebies.com!

So… the soon-to-be-released nintendo accessory “Wii Motion Plus” has gotten quite a lot of attention recently. It promises vastly improved gameplay, due to an increased amount of accuracy & recaction time when rendering movement in a 3D space.
