Wii-x2's interview with Katsuya Eguchi gleamed some new information about several Nintendo projects. Firstly he spoke about Wii Sports and commented on the possibility of there being new sports added:
He then went on to talk about ACWii, stating that whilst he couldn't say much that the Wiimote would feature heavily in chopping trees, digging holes and fishing. No surprises there. He went on to talk about the WiiConnect 24 service with an intriguing idea...
So the possibility of having yourself as a character playing as a computer on other people's consoles? Instantly updatable high score tables from lal over the world. Seems like WiiConnect 24 is beginning to take shape.
Finally he commented on the wifi structure of Starfox DS, likening it to Mario Kart DS.
Interesting stuff indeed, stick with C3 for more info post E3.
"Within the Wii Sports category there are action sports like tennis, baseball, golf and then we have motor sports, so you might see something like a jetski or a bike. There could be various applications within motor sports but they will all exist within the Wii Sports title.
"What's on the show floor is just kind of a sample. We don't know exactly what we'll have yet. There will probably be more action sports and motor sports."

If a player is playing a game where they have a score, it could be posted to a scoreboard showing all the rankings of people throughout the world. That might be one application. Unfortunately I can't really share any more than that because right now we're still very much in the planning stages.
"Also, you know the caricatures of Mr Iwata and Mr Miyamoto playing Wii Sports Tennis at the media briefing? Miyamoto-san has actually expressed a desire to allow people to create several such caricatures and send them out over WiiConnect24. That could be a possibility. Maybe if you have a member of your family that's particularly good at art, they might be able to pick up the Wii controller and create a caricature very simply. The images of Miyamoto-san and Iwata-san were also created very easily."

"It'll be similar to Mario Kart in that you can play online with friends and strangers, with four pilots in one match and everyone using an Arwing. So just think of Mario Kart as a guide to how StarFox will work."

(even just sports+AC it would be fantastic)

They better get rid of the stupid friends code system thing though.
Apparently they aren't?

'If a player is playing a game where they have a score, it could be posted to a scoreboard showing all the rankings of people throughout the world.' etc...

Apparently not, hopefully they'll make it a unique code for every game but then "big evil people" can track you down

Nope, although this would be constantly updated and appear like an offline table if you get me.

8461 505 03.05.2004 Mike@C3I like the character building idea, it'd give games like Wii Sports a nice personal touch if you were yourself in them. Online high scoring is pretty bogstandard, I'd be disappointed if they weren't putting this kind of thing in really.

Wouldn't it be a great feature if you could create a character and save them to your respective wiimote if desired? That way, if you played any Wii Sport or AC, you would have your charcter ready in hand! You could take your creation through different games that aloud personalised characters! Maybe i'm thinking too much into it, but rather than creating a different one each time, it'd be time saving and very appealing to think your person could switch between Wii Tennis to AC Wii...like your more part of the game. Shigsy did say the Wii mote could be personalised.
