- Nintendo announces new Nintendo DS and Wii line up for early 2009 -

15 December 2008. Nintendo’s New Year resolution for 2009 is to deliver an exciting & diverse range of titles suitable for all tastes on both Nintendo DS and Wii, from great new mystery games and a brand new active health game to new slants on old favourites.

From February 20th, users can now put a spring in their step and get in tune with their personal walking routine, with the exciting release of Walk with me! Do you know your walking routine? Everyone knows that walking is an essential part of a balanced and healthy lifestyle and this unique new Nintendo DS software will help to encourage players to find out if they really are active enough with the help of 2 Activity Meter’s which come bundled as part of the software.

By using an Activity Meter, which is a specially designed pedometer, to count steps, minute by minute, players can record up to one week of life rhythm data and set targets for walking routines. By comparing results with up to four friends and family or even your pet dog, players can rank themselves against the rest of the world with this fun new Nintendo DS software. Walk with me! also allows players to use their Mii characters for the first time on their Nintendo DS, transfer them over from Wii or create new ones in Walk with me!.

Also available in February is Mystery Case Files: Millionheir, a simple and gripping observation game designed exclusively for Nintendo DS. Mystery Case Files: MillionHeir combines a fun & intriguing mystery storyline with seek-and-solve gameplay to create an adventure that can be enjoyed by everyone. Also play with or against others through the competitive and co-op multiplayer modes.

Wii follows the trend of its handheld partner with a great line up ahead in 2009! As the New Year draws in, Nintendo makes way to deliver classic games Pikmin & also Mario Power Tennis now presented in Widescreen to Wii in the NEW PLAY CONTROL! series of games. Originally released on the Nintendo GameCube the games utilise new play controls which provides a new twist to the game play. The Wii versions provide fun and engaging entertainment to those who played the games originally, as well as providing a whole new experience to those who are new to discover them!

Originally released on Nintendo GameCube across Europe in 2002, Pikmin enters the world of the strangely co-operative Pikmin creatures as they help Captain Olimar on his galactic quest to rebuild his spaceship. The NEW PLAY CONTROL! version utilises Wii Controls for a fast and fluid gameplay experience. Using both Wii Remote and Nunchuk and predominant use of the Pointer System for quick strategic moves, the joy of Pikmin can now be experienced by a whole new generation.

Mario Power Tennis offers a fun-filled game that's suitable for any player of any age. Players wave the Wii Remote to execute forehand and backhand shots and direct the ball toward the left or right side of the court, affecting topspin, slice spin and special moves.
