This is an extract of the interview by Ultima Vida with Melissa Wright Nintendo’s Manager of Sales and Marketing for Latin America:

UV: Is the price of the virtual console games (in Mexico and Latin America) going to be the same than the US?

Melissa: For the virtual console, yes. The Virtual Console will work in Latin America purchasing points trough the Wii Shopping channel; you will be using a credit card. And it will work the same than the US; the NES games will be 5 dollars, SNES games 8 dollars, and N64 10 dollars or their equivalent in your local currency at the time of the transaction. So you will have access to a lot of titles for a small fee, we think it will be a great option.

UV: Will be possible to buy a Wii Points cards in specialized stores in Mexico?

Melissa: We have chosen not to have on sale those cards in Mexico, and the reason is the same one that we have discussed the console price being so different here and in the US. If we offered the Wii Points card in Mexico we woldn’t be able to maintain a competitive price with the purchase of points. That’s why we did not want the consumers to buy more expensive points than the way they could be by buying them online.

UV: So the only way to buy Wii Points in Latin America will be by Internet?

Melissa: Yes it is.

UV: But.. is the channel going to be available in Spanish?

Melissa: Of course, so there will be no problem. It will be a great experience.

CALGARY, AB, November 6, 2006 - Zi Corporation (NASDAQ:ZICA) (TSX:ZIC), a leading provider of intelligent interface solutions, today announced that it has signed, exclusive licensing agreement with Nintendo Co., Ltd. to embed its predictive text input technology, eZiText, into Wii, Nintendo’s revolutionary new video games console. Wii launches on 19th November in North America, 2nd December in Japan and 8th December in Europe.

“Nintendo is a worldwide leader in video game systems and has a reputation for bringing innovative technology to the market,” said Milos Djokovic, President and CEO, Zi Corporation. “By embedding eZiText in Wii, Nintendo is empowering its customer with a more user friendly method for text input.”

“This announcement heralds the future use of eZiText outside of conventional mobile usage,” continued Djokovic. “The global gaming industry has become a worldwide phenomenon and is becoming an important new avenue for the distribution of our products. As such, we will continue to progressively pursue new gaming customers.”

Nintendo characterizes Wii as a console that “will revolutionize how people play games…it will entice new players into the world of video games by offering a variety of entertainment, information and communication channels.”

The announcement with Nintendo is the third entrance into the multi-billion dollar international gaming industry for Zi products and the second agreement with Nintendo, a well-known Japanese company and a global leader in video gaming. In 2005, Zi licensed its Decuma® handwriting recognition technology to Nintendo for use in the Nintendo DS handheld video game system. Also in early 2005, Gizmondo Europe Ltd embedded Zi Corporation’s eZiTap™ predictive text technology into a feature-rich handheld entertainment console.
