Wii: Remote Pointer Demo Shooting

Posted by Charbax on May 16th, 2006

A fun shooting demo. For now it seems the aiming with the remote needs to be calibrated so that one can really aim, right now the aiming is done towards the detector situated at the E3 Wii booth TVs underneath the TV. This game is a fun versus game in making the most points shooting at baloons, targets, ufos and ducks.

IBM Cell Processor

Posted by Charbax on May 15th, 2006

IBM is doing a Cell processor demo, creating a high definition 3D model on the fly. I am talking with the chief architect of the IBM Cell project about the power of the Cell processor compared to the fastest Intel and AMD processors available. For certain tasks as encoding video, decoding video and generating 3D graphics, IBM’s 9-core Cell processor is about 10 times faster! That is simply amazing, and supposedly the Cell processor will run Linux and be available from around October this year.

Booth tours: Wii

Posted by Charbax on May 12th, 2006

Right since the first minute after the opening of E3 2006, there has been hours of queuing to enter the Wii area of the Nintendo booth. Right when I first got in to E3 at 9:05AM on the 10th of May, I ran towards the Nintendo booth and still I had to stand in line for 45 minutes before I got in for the first time. Later during E3, the line had become 4 to 5 hours long, people queuing nearly the whole day to enter the Wii area to have to queue again up to a couple of hours to get access to try such games as Metroid Prime 3 Corruption and Super Mario Galaxy. I spent most of my E3 inside the Wii area, it took me more than 12 hours spread over the 3 days of the E3, for me to get to try a bit of nearly all of the 27 playable games that were on display there.
