Rumor - Wii Sports 2 in the Works?

I wouldn’t be surprised if Nintendo did decide to release a sequel to their wildly successful bundled title, Wii Sports. For the time being, this is a rumor only… but their are some rumblings going on over at NGCFrance of Wii Sports 2 in the works. They get their info from some Japanese [...]

Hot Titles Postponed?

The folks over at CVG have apparently been in communication with “reliable” sources close to Nintendo, and the word on the street is that a few of the really key titles that were slated to be released in early 2007 may be pushed all the way back to Q4, probably just in time for Christmas [...]

Rechargeable WiiMote Battery Dock

I figured that someone would come out with a product like this sooner or later, given how quickly the WiiMote eats batteries… I just figured that Nintendo would make one first! Joytech has gone ahead and put together a pretty sweet charging system for your WiiMote(s).
They’re calling it The PowerStation [...]

It’s arrived a day early! Early this morning in the Americas, and late last night in the UK Nintendo silently activated the forecast channel for download. To get it jump into your Wii’s System Menu and perform a System Update. I poked around with this channel this morning and was fairly impressed. The channel behaves [...]

More on Safety from Nintendo

I guess the folks over at Nintendo don’t feel that all the things that they’ve done so far are enough to keep people playing safe with their Wii. I mean, they’ve already issued safety statements, e-mails and are replacing the WiiMote straps for each and every single person who may be interested (provided you [...]

Here is something that I just noticed today over on myNintendo.com, your purchased Virtual Console titles are automagically added to your registered items list.

Datel aims to make Wii region free

After broken Nintendo promises (Yes Perrin Kaplan, I’m talking to you) leading up to launch, it looks like all the Wii users out there will finally be able to play other regions games on their Wii. Well, we will be able to do that when Datel releases a Wii version of their great Freeloader software.

Free WiiMote Wrist Strap Replacement!

But only if you’re interested!
I suppose that the multiple safety e-mails and information being put out there on the proper usage of the WiiMote wasn’t enough for them. Apparently, Nintendo has decided that it’s not worth all the pain and aggravation being caused by all the various injuries and broken household electronics [...]
