Nintendo's Wii new conference tells us something dead, dead exciting!

This news item is more than 45 days old. Updates are unlikely and newer information may already be available.

I'm excited!

Not only because my Manchester United beat Phil's Celtic. Again.

But by something nice coming from a news conference about the Nintendo Wii today!

At 10.10am this morning, a Q&A session involving a man who we shall call "Tarquin" and a Nintendo Representative who we shall call "Nintendo Representative" went something like this:

Tarquin: Online competition?
Nintendo Representative: What's been announced in Japan is that first online multiplayer game will be a Pokemon title for Japan.
Tarquin: When will it be here in the States?
Nintendo Representative: Shortly thereafter.

In case you're currently staring blankly at your screen, allow me to sum it up for you:

Pokémon Battle Revolution will be the first online battling game released for the Nintendo Wii on December 2nd, and will "shortly thereafter" be released in America!

Get excited Americans! Europeans - due to Nintendo's past record, all we can get excited about currently is the news. And Manchester United beating Celtic.
