Shinobii Technologies announces High-Tech Table Tennis Bat with Authentic Look And Feel for Wii™
The new TT Champion Bat from Shinobii Technologies offers Wii Table Tennis players the opportunity to wield a table tennis bat that’s a true 1:1 replica of an actual table tennis paddle in both size and weight. But it’s the smart technology inside that’s the real game changer.
London (Business Wire) Even though the Wii Table Tennis game provides a nearly realistic experience, playing the game using the standard Wii Remote controls leaves a lot to be desired. Anyone who has played any of the sports games knows that lightweight plastic replicas of table tennis bats, baseball bats, golf clubs, and tennis rackets aren’t much better.
That’s why the Wii Table Tennis enthusiasts at Shinobii Technologies, a major UK-based video game peripherals manufacturer and designer, set their sights on building a better table tennis paddle.
“Part of the strategy of beating your opponent in this high-speed action game is learning precise bat control,” according to Andy Mitchell, Sales Manager at Shinobii Technologies. “And the feeling of grabbing a handful of air every time you swing the remote is counter-productive to developing that strategy,” Mr. Mitchell added.
When players wrap their hands around the company’s new TT Champion Bat they think they’re holding an actual paddle. Not only is the look, feel and weight as close to the real thing as it gets, all of the electronics required to interact with the Wii™ console are built right in. This means players don’t have to slip the standard Wii Remote into the handle like they do with other sports equipment for Wii.
The TT Champion Bat has a built-in remote that eliminates the need to use the traditional Wii Remote and is compatible with all Wii Motion Plus™ games. It contains XtraMotion Technology that translates paddle movement, torque, and spin control from the paddle directly to the software. All of this technology is powered by a built-in rechargeable battery.
When users pick up the TT Champion Bat for the first time, it feels like they are holding a real table tennis paddle. And when they return the first serve, they realize it’s a whole new game.
The TT Champion Bat has a suggested retail price of $69.99 and will soon be available online and at traditional video game retailers throughout the EU and North America. For more information about the TT Champion Bat, visit www.shinobii.com.

Pinball FX 2 bumped to October 27
Game Feast goes hungry as Zen Studios' latest gets pushed back two weeks "to ensure the launch
is absolutely perfect."
Would-be Pinball FX wizards must remain mere apprentices for a few more weeks, as Zen Studios' xbox Live Arcade game has suffered a delay. Originally set for release this Wednesday, the game has now been pushed to October 27.
Explore the mysteries of the deep, in pinball form!
In a statement announcing the delay, Microsoft Game Studios lead producer Mark Coates explained, "We decided to take a little extra time to ensure the launch of Pinball FX 2 is absolutely perfect."
Technically a free download, Pinball FX 2 is a platform that will work with the original game's tables, as well as a new 800 Microsoft point ($10) starter pack of four new tables. Those who already own the original Pinball FX will also be able to import that game's tables into the sequel, where they will receive new achievements and visual updates. Players will also be able to sample new tables before deciding whether or not to make a purchase.
Pinball FX 2 was intended to be the third title in Microsoft's Game Feast promotion, following up on the launches of Hydrophobia and Comic Jumper, and leading into the promotion-capping Super Meat Boy on October 20. Its new release date puts it at the very end of the month, meaning gamers will need to act quickly if they want a Pinball FX 2 purchase to count toward the October Microsoft points give away promotion, where gamers who spend 2,400 ($30) Microsoft points in October will be credited with an additional 800 Microsoft points ($10).

Wii Vitality Sensor detailed in patent application, fires righteous beams of light
How does Nintendo's oft-delayed Wii Vitality Sensor work? According to a new patent filing, it's actually quite simple -- the unit fires infrared light right at your fingertip and reports how much passes through, just like the pulse oximeters the pros use. games then translate the result to the unfortunately-named "relax fluid" number, which is the Vitality Sensor's equivalent of your Brain Age -- the more fluid you've got, the calmer you are. It's also allegedly sensitive enough to detect when you're breathing just by measuring the changes in your fingertip, as evidenced by a concept game where you have to closely adjust your inhaling and exhaling to get an avatar safely through a tunnel without hitting the presumably deadly walls. And now you know.Wii Vitality Sensor detailed in patent application, fires righteous beams of light originally appeared on Engadget on Mon, 11 Oct 2010 07:49:00 EDT.
