Helmsly

I enjoyed it, pretty good.

I got my Wii last week and it too came with the cardboard sleeve. That doesn’t really bother me however mine was sealed with tape which their was no way to remove without it tearing away the sleeves art/front cover.

oh thats awesome, originaly they said you wouldnt be able to remove it. Glad they changed their mind.

Well apparently there's a new Wii firmware update now available, no idea what it does yet. Could this be the Everybody’s Nintendo channel and the ability to give someone a Virtual Console game as a gift? edit- from Cosmonaut X at Neogaf -- Wii Shop main menu icon and launch page changed -- Photo Channel update available through WiiWare -- Gift-giving enabled -- Pokemon Snap available in EU The Photo channel update (which is optonal ) replaces MP3 compatibility with the ability to play AAC files Shot of the new Logo

well no matter what I try, it's saying my email address is 'invalid'. I tried to have my password resent back to me with the "forgotten password" option, but it's still saying invalid email. so I'm guessing my account has gone along with a good few thousand stars although I still get emails sent to me with that email address from Nintendo

I'll give that a try thanks Shadow

ok so I can't seem to sign into the site, I've had an account since the gamecubes release a ton of stars to turn into points =/ It's saying my account info is wrong but it can't be since I still get emails from NOE in that name

'The Hotspot' which is gamespots weekly podcast is up and the guys talk pretty candidly about everything that's happened in the past week. They all sounds pretty cut up about what’s happened. However they say several times that the K&L review was not the reason for Jeff getting the sack. They say the issue is more complicated then that and that they are pissed about what that reason is but they can't talk about it. http://uk.gamespot.com/pages/features/hotspot/index.php?id=661&om_act=convert&om_clk=multimodule&tag=multimodule;picks;title;1

The hate that Jeff got for giving Zelda TP 8.8 was almost too pathethic to be funny: http://img410.imageshack.us/img410/2545/88wj0.jpg

Well the reason the PS3 wasnt selling before was he price, it was never a case of nobody wanting the thing. Now the price is affordable all those that where not interested in the Wii and forwhatever reason never even concidered getting a 360 are buying it.

I was listening to the radio just now and on their drivetime show they had a Business Update segment. At the end of it the presenters asked the guy why are Wii's in such short supply and he said that Nintendo are aiming to put out an extra 3 and a half million Wii's worldwide. I have not head this anywhere before so is he just blowing smoke or is this something just annouced today?

If it was done as a Wii channel upgrade then sure but I'm not sure whenever the time comes and I can buy a Wii if I'd care if it plays DVD's or not. I'd much rather they release a Wii with more internal memory or a hardrive.

Just incase you want to see the thing in action...

If I can't find a Wii for a decent price I'll just get myself a 360, and get a Wii when ever they come into stock again next year.

Can you imaging; someone that has asked his parents for a Wii for Christmas will instead be opening one of these Christmas morning

Donkey Kong Jungle Beat ( very important its brought with the bongos because its unplayable on a normal controler )

Here's one up close and being unboxed: lol

North American Wii's get Super Mario Bros 3 tonight. Nintendo sent out voice messages telling people with Charles Martinet announcing it in his Mario voice.

http://uk.wii.ign.com/articles/832/832465p1.html New Wii-k in review is now up (Matt, Bozon and Jessica this time) I'm listening to it at the moment, so far the the first 20 minutes has been all about Mario Galaxy

weird that they say the controls are a step in the right direction but then go on to say theres "annoying amount of waggle throughout". I think its cool they put the Mii faces in this:
