To celebrate almost 12 months without substantial content, the fairly crap widgetbucks ads have been removed and destroyed. It’s fairly likely that they will never return.
That’s pretty cool! Almost as cool as the Nintendo’s lack of a decent online gaming facility for the Wii.
Keep smiling people, and don’t even pretend you have broken the super smash brothers addiction. Everyone knows you still play it.
See this delightful plastic condom/cover for the Wiimote? It’s costing Nintendo over $20 million USD to send out free to all who request. But don’t worry about the company, Reggie is more than happy for Nintendo international to take the hit; and is not worried in the slightest about the news.
The May 2007 issue of GameInformer offered the above tidbit of Wii peripheral speculation. Could Nintendo seriosuly be considering releasing a first party peripheral in the form of a.. keyboard?

Did it get any better for Sony and Microsoft in the 10-20..

Nintendo of Australia just released, or we just noticed, a small promotional page in the vein of ‘The Wii Experiece’ named PlayWii. On the aptly named page, are images of first time Wii players, with positive Wii quotes interspersed between the images.
Take one of the most popular movies of all time, add a little EA magic, and you have a themed video game released on every major console. The Wii gets The Godfather: Blackhand Edition. The game will be released around the beginning of April in most territories.
Twelve Interactive, an Italian games developer, has reaffirmed their interest in developing for the Nintendo Wii. Managing director and founder of Twelve Interactive, Giuseppe Crugliano said, ‘The Nintendo Wii is a perfect console to work on for small independent developers like us. It give us the opportunity to work on triple A games, with very reduced budget.’
The first game to be released on the Wii? Crash Dummy Vs the Evil D-Troit. The game has already appeared on a range of consoles, and will also appear on the PSP.
My heart screams in agony. I have three Wiimotes, so the Nyko recharge device won’t be able to double as a fancy storage location for the little bastards. Regardless, the mounting battery costs of owning and regularly using a Wii will be vastly diminished with the purchase of this delightful gadget.
The recharge station is suggested to cost $29.99 USD. Which coincedentally $10 USD cheaper than the suggested price for JoyTech’s Wiimote charger. [below]
Renchi wants to sell you Wii accessories. We are in no way affiliated with them, but thought you might like to check out some of their products. In particular, the component cables. Because if you don’t have them yet, you are incredibly lazy and deserve to be covered with cream and attacked by an angry mod of clowns. They even have Wii Dust Covers!
Are ya bored..? Just.. how.. bored..? Well if you are rEaLlY bored, then I strongly encourage you to check out some new video on the Japanese Official Wii Website. It is of the News Channel final build. Fo’ serious. Yes its in Japanese, but it gives a clear-ish indication of what the Western versions are going to be like.
