New Wii games revealed in Greek interview
The name George Katrinakis probably doesn't mean much to you unless you happen to live in Greece, as he's the CEO of Nortec Multimedia, the distributor of Nintendo products in the region. And it turns out this George knows a thing or two about the future of Wii gaming, dropping some clues on us ignorant folk about a pair of new titles. Wait, new games? Rock!First up is a game, which is being dubbed Health Pack at the moment, that is certainly the most interesting in our eyes. After performing some exercises in the game, supposedly your personal data will be sent out to hospitals that have been contracted out by Nintendo via a new Channel and later returned as some kind of evaluation. Information on how the data will be collected and presented is sketchy as of right now, but we're pumped for a new Channel, let alone the doors this could open for future Channels and/or games.
The second title, Wii Music, sounds a lot like the orchestra demo that Shiggy demoed during the E3 keynote. In it, players will not only be able to control specific musicians in the orchestra, but also save their compositions and send them to other Wii users. While this doesn't tickle our fancy as much as Health Pack, we're certainly not in any position to complain about more games.
According to the interview, both of these games are to be released before the end of 2007.

Personal medical data on a Wii Channel. Um, identity theft much? Just asking.

Actually, the Greek site has already removed the comments about the two games and posted a retraction (http://news.contra.gr/Technology/Hellas/149445.html) saying that they were this guy's personal opnions based on his own estimations and expectations, and not based on official Nintendo information.

Contra.gr did not remove the comments about the two games. You can find them here (http://news.contra.gr/Technology/Hellas/149198.html). We just posted a comment that what Mr. Katrinakis told, was his opinion and not based on official Nintendo information...

I'd love more information on this and would love to include it in one of my posts ( http://liftnews.squarespace.com ). With two boys who love gaming, I'd like to see what Wii Health Pack has to offer. I own a gym and I can tell you first-hand that fitness is changing and in a big way.
