Wii Developers’ Kit Shown at a THQ Press Event
At a recent press event in New York City, THQ showed off their 4 launch titles to the local press and others who traveled across the country to get in on the action. This press event showcased a Wii development kit (pictured to the left) and the mysterious black Wii controller. We’ve seen the black controller in the past in a magazine, but after that we haven’t seen any pictures of it. I think it is safe to assume that this black controller will be with all development kits and may not be released to the public on launch. However, we do not know this for sure as it is just pure, mindless speculation by myself.
Aside from a change from the Gamecube casing to a shiny, box-like case, the development kit has everything that makes the Wii tick. It includes all 4 gamecube controller slots, a SD slot, and all the connectors found on the back of the Wii. Aside from using a new case, not much has changed. Most of the games shown at the event were “adaptations” of their gamecube counterpart, providing no real change.
