Today, <a href="http://www.ubi.com/US/News/Info.aspx?nId=4044">Ubisoft</a> announced that there will be a bunch more games for the launch of the Wii, including a Far Cry game. This is great news for Nintendo. It shows that developers are ready to support a Nintendo console again. Also, while I was perusing the internet the other day, I saw a spec sheet of the Wii on <a href="http://www.gamefly.com/products/detailhardware.asp?plat=1085&amp;tab=1">Gamefly.com</a>. This has the processor speed of the Wii at 729 Mghz on a 90 nanometer sized processor. This would tend to be spot on with the projections that the Wii would be about twice as powerful as the Gamecube. I don't know if these are the final specs of the GPU, but we will find out in a month or so when the announce the launch date and title. Let's hear it for the Wii.<div class="blogger-post-footer">Talk about the latest on Nintendo's new next-generation console, the Nintendo Wii.</div>Jon Shawnoreply@blogger.com
