Famtisu on Mario Power Tennis and Pikmin Wiimakes

Famtisu on Mario Power Tennis and Pikmin Wiimakes on Nintendo gaming news, videos and discussion

The latest Famitsu magazine has discussed a new features in the re-releases of GameCube hits Mario Power Tennis and Pikmin.

The Japanese weekly has talked a little more on Nintendo's plans to include refinements and improvements to their much loved last-generation games. For the now cult classic Pikmin, the game's saving setup has been tweaked to store day-by-day records, and players can resume from a selected day.

Mario Power tennis will include the already-announced Wii + nunchuck control and is devoid of GameCube controller support. In addition, according to the magazine, is the Wii-remote only feature - presumably like Wii sports, and we're hoping not relying on the remote's D-pad for movement.

Pikmin hits Japan on December 25th 2008, Mario Power Tennis follows on January 15. Both are priced at 3,800 yen.

Be interesting to see if those asking to controll the characters in wiisports tennis were right or wrong.

Would it work?

What? They should have nunchuck support? Why not do the obvious best thing for this game, nunchuck for movement and Wii mote for the cursor?

Because when you swing and hit, the cable may be too short. You rip your Nunchuck out of the iimote. And that's expensive...

I find your lack of faith disturbing!

There'll be both nunchuck + wii remote, and wii-remote only play.

Before the credit crunch it was about £15...now the pound sucks so its about £25...
Which sucks because I used to get bargains importing Japanese games, but now not so much Smilie

But a 3,800 yen game in the past has been an english £24.99 game, so it'll most likely be £24.99.

This is the normal game price conversions Smilie
2800 yen = £19.99 budget DS games
3800 yen = £24.99
4800 yen = £29.99 normal DS games
5800 yen = £34.99 normal 1st party Wii games
6800 yen = £39.99 normal 3rd party Wii games
9140 yen = £39.99 Final Fantasy 12 because Square Enix know they can rip Japanese gamers off, and they'll still buy it.
15000yen = £99.99 DS phat
16800yen = £99.99 DS lite
18600yen = £??.?? DSi
