Move for the PS3 is coming, and one of the first games coming out that uses move is Sports Champions. The Dev Diary above discusses it.
Some key notes from the video:
2 move controllers are being used, does that mean you have to buy a second one just to play some games?
It’s like playing a 3d game, you must picture the person in front of you as actually being there.
That Sword fighting games seems like a lot of fun, but the controller can pick up depth and speed, but how much exactly?
Ever notice how all demonstration videos are in big empty rooms?
What if my cat or dog walked in front of the camera? “No kitty! don’t play with the camera!”

Step inside the cave brave Warrior and experience the world of MONSTER HUNTER 3 TRI !!!
The fine people at Nintendo, hosted a fantastic event on behalf of Capcom’s Monster Hunter 3 TRI which will be available in Australia on 29th of April exclusively for the Nintendo Wii. All the brave warriors who entered the Monster Hunter cave got to experience first hand all the excitement and danger in the world of Monster Hunter 3 TRI.
Nintendo showcased all the great new features within the game with a fantastic 20 minute presentation. Once that was out of the way the mighty warriors were allowed to Hunt down the wild monsters themselves, testing out the great features & multiplayer that the game has to offer. Monster Hunter 3 TRI allows for unparalleled co–op gameplay, both online and offline. Hunting can be performed with up to three other players online or two players offline in Arena Mode. A great feature in Arena Mode is you’ll have the ability to save your character’s information to the Wii Remote directly so you’re always ready to play anywhere you go !!
MasterAbbott was able to get an exclusive preview of Monster Hunter 3 TRI in action with Nintendo’s Jamie Wilson providing a detailed rundown of all the new features within the game. Check out the video below:
Monster Hunter 3 TRI will be available on the 29th of April as a standalone game or in a bundle with the new Classic Controller PRO (which comes in black) Price for the standalone will be $79.99 AUD and $99.99 AUD for the bundle. The Classic Controller Pro’s more traditional control configuration will give gamers the ultimate monster hunting experience.
Capsule Computers would like to thank the great people at Nintendo for organizing such a fantastic event. The fine warriors were provided with an abundance of food and beverage and even a Monster Hunter swag bag full of goodies to take home.
In the end all the Warriors made it out of the cave alive and in one piece, leaving the mysterious Cockatoo Island on the back of the Giant turtle they all made it to the main land and back to their loving families who were eagerly awaiting their triumphant return 😉

Australia, 10 March, 2010 –Nintendo confirms that the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service have seized game copiers (commonly referred to as R4 cards) and other counterfeit Nintendo products from an importer attempting to distribute the products in Australia. This is the first Australian customs seizure of game copiers of this type.
Video game piracy continues to be a serious problem in Australia. Nintendo attributes it to the availability of game copiers, the devices that circumvent the technical protection measures embedded in the Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi systems that enable the play of illegal Nintendo software downloaded via the Internet. Game copiers infringe Nintendo’s trademarks and copyright and breach the “circumvention device” provisions of the
Nintendo has been working with the Australian enforcement authorities to curtail the spread of piracy for more than 10 years.
The seizure in Australia follows another recent significant Nintendo action. Earlier this month, Nintendo has taken successful action in the Federal Court in Australia against an importer and online seller of game copiers establishing that these actions are illegal and the consequences are real.
Nintendo is also taking action against distributors and sellers of game copiers and other infringing devices in many other countries around the world. In some countries, successful criminal proceedings have been brought against the manufacturers, suppliers and sellers of game copiers.
For further information regarding the recent Federal court civil action against the importer and online seller of game copiers please see our Media Release dated 22 February 2010 titled “Nintendo Successfully Takes Action Against R4 Cards” which can be found at: http://www.nintendo.com.au/index.php?action=news&nid=79

Through PlayStation Move system, both fast and subtle motion can be detected, whether the user is swinging a tennis racket, or painting with a brush. With PlayStation Move motion controller, users can provide direct input through action buttons and an analog trigger, while receiving physical feedback from rumble functionality and visual feedback from the sphere’s ability to display a variety of different colors.

Like all other Wireless Controllers for the PS3 system, it comes with a built in lithium-ion rechargeable battery as well as Bluetooth® technology, enabling the controller to transfer the input information wirelessly to the PS3 system without a cable. PlayStation Move motion controller and sub-controller will further broaden the gaming experience on the PS3 system for all genres, from games that use one motion controller to games that use both controllers.
