Wii-DVD NOT Confirmed For Europe & US
Looks like Sonic shot their mouths off claiming their Wii-DVD tech would be going global. From a Sonic PR release/backpedal:
"As the enabler of technology in Wii, Sonic does not define the implementation. Sonic provided Nintendo with its DVD playback SDK, which will be integrated by them to their specifications."
That whirring sound you hear is that of Nintendo reeling them in:
We have previously confirmed that an enhanced version of Wii capable of playing DVD's would launch at some point in the future in Japan. This release simply confirms Sonic as the partner in that venture and that the new version of Wii will come to market in the second half of 2007. It does not confirm where it will launch. We are simply not making any further region specific announcements at this time.
So Japan-only it is, then. At least for now. Or, at least, until somebody cares.
