Nintendo has given a conference in Japan that has just about finished. The folks over at IGN have been live blogging, giving updates on all the important announcements. There are several juicy details revealed, and should be confirmed in the US conference tomorrow. IGN warn that they were blogging with the help of a translator, so all the details may not be correct, but are sure to be made clearer throughout the day.

This is what we know:

• Footage of Fire Emblem DS was shown
• New Pokémon game announced for the WiiWare Channel, “Pokémon Farm”, which allows you to transfer your Pokés from Diamond and Pearl onto the Wii
• Square Enix will release Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles as an exclusive WiiWare game
• A new version of Doctor Mario will also be a WiiWare title, and the service will be launching in March (Japan)
• You will be able to rate games on the Everybody Votes Channel
• You will be soon be able to download demos for your DS from the Wii
• Mario Kart Wii will also include motorbikes
• Smash Bros. delayed in Japan, but footage was shown featuring Sonic the Hedgehog as a playable character, and an online co-op mode
• Monster Hunter 3 will be released on the Wii

That’s about all of it, although there are more stats and figures available on the IGN blog. Some impressive announcements, and a lot of crowd pleasers. Not sure about motorcycles in Mario Kart, but Fire Emblem DS has just about made my day. We’ll hopefully get more information during the day.
