Here's hoping Error code: 50299 doesn't make it into the final game.
How does that happen? How do you take a screen shot of an upcoming new Wii game that's failing to connect to the Internet and then send it out to the press? Impossible you'd say. But that's exactly what Nintendo's done with the latest batch of screens for Wii Chess, due out January 18 in the UK.
IGN - "How Europe has caught up to, matched and surpassed North America. Is it time to start importing again?"
"The localization process used to make so much more sense to me. Japan got every Nintendo game first, which was understandable since that's the company's home country. Then America would get each game next, needing only a translation into English and a fresh manufacturing run to get going here. "
Wii Sports was great, Wii Play was mediocre, and we will soon have our hands on Wii Fit, but two other titles, Wii Music and Wii Chess, are also on the way.

"At the lower level, the Wii takes pawns with reckless abandon, but remains savvy enough to require thought and planning to beat. Meanwhile, the top-end difficulty can flatten experienced players in just a few minutes.
However, despite being fundamentally solid, there aren't enough features here to make Wii Chess a viable buy. There's no verve or flair, no style or pizazz.
It's a basic, rudimentary game, and we're pretty sure that if it wasn't by Nintendo, few would give it a second look. Stick with the real chess board for now."
Rofl!
Someone's going to get fired now.
Even the Chess game on Vista looks better than this....lazy devs.
