And whats damaging environment got to do with it,



Making physical disks, cases and manuals generate waste and uses resources. If it were virtual, then there's a lot less environmental damage.

The wiki page is a bit short... and I wish they'd make a better cover art, that one looks so cheap. Anyway, I like chess, but i'll have to see the gameplay before i decide to buy it or not.

More Info:

Nintendo Europe has released some new screenshots of Wii Chess, including one odd screenshot of an error connecting online. European gamers can master chess against the computer or a friend online or offline. The European release date is slated for January 18th, no word on a North American release so far.

Make sure your mind is sharp and you’re ready for battle as Wii Chess comes to Wii. Whether you are pitting your wits against the computer, or taking on a friend, strategic thinking and planning ahead are the order of the day, so make sure you’ve drawn up your battle plan as Wii Chess launches across Europe on 18 January 2008, only on Wii!

Following the rules of a traditional game of chess, Wii Chess is a must for any fan of the original board game. Players will play on an 8x8 chequered board, with the usual 16 pieces each, and must aim to ‘checkmate’ their opponent. Wii Chess emphasises long-term strategy and requires both players to have a good understanding of their opponent’s potential movements, whether playing against the Wii console or a friend.

Featuring one of the best chess-dedicated Artificial Intelligences on the market, Wii Chess allows players the ultimate opponent in chess. The Artificial Intelligence can be adjusted from a low to high level allowing players to match their skills to their opponent. The game also allows players to record their games, which they can then watch back, or even jump into at any point and play a move differently. Effectively players can re-play a saved match, correcting an error and reversing the course of history! Alternatively, gamers can play a friend using the two-player function, or take on other Wii Chess owners using Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. With so many options to choose from you’ll never be stuck for an opponent!

The interactive elements of Wii Chess allow users to customise the look of the game they are playing. Whenever they wish, players can change the style of their pieces and background to create a different atmosphere. There is also a visual aid to help beginners which can be turned on or off at any point. In addition to this, the status window displays data such as the player’s name, enemy pieces captured so far and a summary of players’ moves in the game. At any point in the game, players can press the B Button, which will display an extensive menu offering the players options such as reconfiguring the game, changing options or even quitting the game.

THANKYOU.

I think Wii Chess is good idea, especially with Wi-Fi/Online.

Millions of people across the globe play and love chess, so why not make a good game on it.

Another good reason for its development is the fact that retirement homes are purchasing and owning Wii's in their homes, old people play chess a lot and they'll love this game i reckon.

WOW ONLINE CHESS IS A GREAT IDEA!!!!...wait what chess is already on the internet???

I didn't read barcafc post, I withdraw my previous statement and would like to say that I would pay 50 buckaroos for this game,it sounds like it has ok features, but I think listing that you can use the B button to quit the game as a feature is pretty lame millhouse

I personally think Wii chess is a great idea I have no one to play Chess with at home but thanks to the wifi problem solved yay! It will be interesting to see how the game play works out and what the story mode is like if there is a story mode. MailTMail what do you have with Wii Chess being a coockie idea, I don't see it as a wacky idea, a lot of people would love to play Chess on the Wii. This game I'm looking forward to.

I don't really like Chess myself, I like Checkers though. There's an XBox Live Arcade game called Spyglass Games, I use to play Checkers on that all the time and that is online to. This game also has Chess and two other games I can't think of right now. It's fun playing such online. This game was only like $5 or whatever it was though.
