By Shawn White / Wednesday, 11 October 2006

Nintendo of Japan held a conference concerning Wii and DS software through 2006 and into 2007. Nintendo Game Designer Shigeru Miyamoto unveiled a new title for Wii tentatively named "Health Pack", though specifics remain unknown at this time. Additionally, Japan will see 18 Wii games released by the end of 2006, along with 60 total Virtual Console titles. Beginning in Spring 2007, Nintendo will apparently begin the "Wii Compact Software" line of games which will allow players to download certain Wii titles to their console rather than purchasing a disc. Pricing and storage details, as well as what software will be made available, were not provided. On a final note, Big Brain Academy for Wii will not release until Spring 2007 in Japan.
