“Strong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People” is officially announced for next week, August 11th. This humorous point-and-click game will cost 1000 points and come in five monthly episodes. If you want to be able to appreciate this Wiiware title to its fullest, then check out homestarrunner.com to get to know some of the characters and places. In the game you’ll play as the character named Strong Bad. With Strong Bad you can roam around the Homestar Runner world and rediscover all of the famous settings with endless jokes hidden around as you click on different parts of the screen. Each episode will also feature minigames by the fictional Homestar Runner video game company called Videlectrix. This is sure to be a great gaming experience for fans, but make sure you learn a bit from the site before buying it if you aren’t a fan but still looking for a good Wiiware game.

Although Red Steel 2 has been rumored for a very long time, the executive director decided to release some information on it today. They admitted that the first game may have been rushed a bit, but now with the new Wii Motion Plus attachment they will be able to make the game how it always should have been. There’s a chance that they just might get it right this time. The director also said the game might not be a Wii exclusive, but he is only confirming it on the Wii for now saying that it has been in development for a couple months.

The new Channel is a photo printing channel, but you won’t be printing your pictures with your own printer. The user will basically select different photos on the Wii and, for varied small fees, the user can send the photos to Nintendo and receive professionally made photo albums, business cards and more. The business card system sounds pretty detailed so far, and you could even create a card with your Mii picture and friend code just for the fun of it. With all of these new channels being released, hopefully Nintendo will make plans for a hard drive solution in the near future. With no hard drive, many people wont even be able to fit new channels like this on their Wii. Nintendo has world-wide plans for this new channel, so expect it to be released some time soon.

For those of you who missed the conference, we’ll cover all of the biggest highlights for today’s show.

One of the biggest highlights of the conference was the announcement of “Animal Crossing: City Folk”, where Nintendo is going to make full use of the Wii internet service from visiting towns to sending mail. Most notably, a new accessory called “Wiispeak” will be utilized in Animal Crossing, allowing players to voice chat with each other. This time the game allows for multiple friends to enter your town, which will add a lot more replay value. The game also features a brand new city that you can visit where all the shops are located plus much more. Other than that it looks like the same Animal Crossing we all know, but there should be more new details to come. The game is set for a release in American by the end of 2008.

Another highlight was the next installment of Wii Sports called “Wii Sports: Resort”. It features many different “summer” games and will utilize the MotionPlus add-on for pin point motion sensing. Three of the games were featured today including frisbee, waveracing, and swordfighting as demonstrated by the “Regginator”.

Nintendo ended the show by showing off another installment to the Wii series called “Wii Music”. This game features a variety of different instruments that allow players that can’t play instruments in real life to get the experience with ease. Of course this was all demonstrated through Miyamoto playing the saxophone with the Wii remote. Wii Music will have many different modes including a multiplayer band mode. Unlike Rock band, this game will not use extra accessory instruments, just the nun chuck and wiimote (Wii balance board can be used as an option for the bass drum pedals if the player chooses).

The conference is over, but Nintendo is revealing many other new games in the show rooms as we speak. This will all be summed up later on. The conference was not as full of many new and quality games as most had hoped, so hopefully something will at least be unveiled for the core fans by the end of this week. Reggie did sneak a couple hints in the conference of franchise games in development, but no news yet on what those were.
