Black Wii Remote, Black Wii MotionPlus and Black Nunchuck Coming

Topic:

In a kind of funny move Nintendo announced in a press-release amongst other things that black versions of the Wiimote, Nunchuck and Wii MotionPlus are coming in time for the Holidays to the United States.
The funny part is that the Black Wii is not announced yet for the US. The Black Wii has only been for sell for a month Japan.

Now you are free to conclude that the Black Wii console is of course also coming in time for Christmas or Nintendo is just playing with Ya! Fun aside, I am pretty sure the Black Wii will be announced soon for the US and European markets.

3D Chuck Episode Powered by 3ality

Topic:

3ailty announced that it was the power behind the rather disappointing 3D episode of Chuck earlier this week. The episode was intended to build on the momentum from the Super Bowl the night before and give watchers something to do with those 3D glasses they had for the Super Bowl.

The big problem was that most watchers weren't able to find the 3D glasses and were left with an irritatingly fuzzy image with lots of green fringe around items in the show. I was one of the many who didn’t find glasses locally and very nearly stopped watching the show. Read more

3D Super Bowl Ads disappointing, next Chance Chuck

Topic:

The excitement and hunt for the 3D Super Bowl glasses to watch the first 3D Super Bowl ads was huge. Now that the Super Bowl 43 is over the 3D ads are not the most talked about commercials. The verdict around the web so far is that the 3D effect of Monsters vs. Aliens and the 3D SoBe ad was too weak.
The expectations have been to high I guess. As highlighted in our 3D Home theater report, the glasses are just a tease for currently available 3D technology at home and in cinemas.
There is better 3D technology for the living room already on the market with shutter glasses and of course the 3D experience in digital cinemas is way superior.
Still if the tease with the 3D Super Bowl glasses is not generating more interest in 3D, then we again do not get 3D content from the studios.
I think the real test of these new ColorCode 3D glasses is tonight when the full episode of Chuck airs. Read more
