Wii to Have Only 1 Friend Code!!
For all of those who are plagued by the Nintendo DS "wonderful" friend codes listen up: there will be no individual friend codes for games on the Wii!
Nintendo Europe has confirmed on their Wii mini-site that the Wii won't have specific friend codes for gamers to connect titles online. The fact the DS has separate codes for each game has caused gamers to have a mass confusion as to which codes went to what games.
The fact Nintendo has chosen this style of online networking has us all filled with glee and will be welcomed with open arms come November.

Awesome Red Steel AD!!
Call this number!!!! 1-877-RRD-STLL or 1-877-773-7855 if you're interested. It's hilarious! Marketing at its finest.
New Wii Impressions! UPDATES BELOW!
Quick Update: As most of you know, I have friends that work in the industry and they have a big conference in Dallas Texas going on as you read this story. I got a call this morning and I am happy to report some impressions from my buddies who are in attendance. Thanks to Sucka for the following reports:
This morning Ubi-Soft demonstrated Rayman Raving Rabbids and it is said to be spectacular! Keep in mind this is coming from someone who originally was not going to purchase the title. He stated that Rayman was very polished and looks like it's going to be an absolute blast to play. This title is going to be a "must have" come November 19th.
Next up- Red Steel. Simply put, it looks great, it plays great and it's going to be a good buy come launch day. He was happy with glee when he played this quality title and said that the game is really good.
Thirdly Zelda. No words can describe how this game is going to be. Zelda Twilight Princess is pure Nirvana!
More impressions and updates from the conference will be coming down the pipeline so keep it here gamers! Mario is on display (but he hadn't played it yet), Excite Truck and many others will be available for them to test out.
UPDATE #1- Rayman seems to be a HUGE hit. My other friend who is in no way, shape, or form interested in platform games was extremely impressed by Rayman. He said that even though the graphics look like high end Gamecube stuff, the system was a blast to play.

Best Buy Wii Rumor
Above may be an image that was leaked from best buy's marketing department. If this image proves to be a "Real leaked image", it seems as though we will be testing out the Wii on or near the end of October. How exciting is that gamers!
The fine print on the image reads as follows:
-Kiosk Wii rollout- October 29, 2006
-Pre-Launch Marketing Sales- October 29, 2006
-Mass Marketing Starts- November 5, 2006
-Sales Begin November 19, 2006
I am a little unsure as to the validity of this story so file this one under rumor. I do think however that this could totally be valid and we could be playing Wii in one month. I will be sure to do some more investigating for you guys and keep you updated. Keep it here gamers.

Official Statement About Opera on Wii
Opera Software today announced details on its browser for Nintendo’s soon-to-be released game console, Wii. Opera’s full Web browser is available for download from the “Wii Shop Channel”. Nintendo has stated that they will offer Opera free of charge as a temporary promotion for all Wii users until June 2007.
Wii
From July 2007, users can purchase the Opera browser using Wii points. Wii points are credits users can buy that allow them to add new games or the Opera browser to their Wii consoles. The number of Wii points required to purchase Opera has not yet been announced.
With support for Flash and AJAX-based content such as Google maps, Wii users will benefit from a feature-rich Internet experience that is uniquely customized for the Wii. Opera for Wii boasts the same complete standards support as the Opera 9 Desktop browser, and includes the added functionality of “Zoom” and “Bookmarks”. The Wii remote control will also be an integral part of browsing, allowing users to intuitively control the Web with their Wii remotes.
Nintendo has previously announced that Wii will be available in the U.S. on November 19, 2006, Japan on December 2, 2006, and in Europe on December 8, 2006. The cost for the console is $249.99 or 25,000 Yen.

Wii Preorders: Round 2
I am going to cut right to the chase gamers. Gamestop, the leading retailer in videogames, will be holding its annual managers meeting THIS THURSDAY-SUNDAY in good old Dallas, Texas. Every major video game company will be in attendance including Nintendo. It is there my young jedi's that I think Gamestop will be given their allocation for Nintendo's forthcoming console Wii. Once any company has their allocation for any product, they could begin taking preorders.
Expect tons of guest posts later this week from hands on impressions from the conference. There is 2 days of classes and the last day they hold a "mini E-3" of sorts. Again- keep it here, as we will be giving you updates from those in attendance. Preorders are coming gamers, and they may be next week.

* The game was supposed to be a PS2 game, but as soon as they saw the wii-mote, it was love at first sight.
*An early 2007 release is planned and they want to sell a Million Big Ones!

Wing Island Site Open
The Nintendo Wii is fast approaching and Hudson has claimed a stake in its launch titles with Wing Island! Clamored for at this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo, Wing Island was nowhere to be found. Now, we bring you an exclusive preview of what is sure to be the one of the top flight simulators of the season, due in part to Nintendo's innovative Wii remote controller.
The Wii controller features an accelerometer (yes, that's a real word!) that senses motion, allowing users to control aircraft like real pilots. Forget the analog stick! The Wii controller acts as the yoke of a plane. Tilt it up and planes climbs in the air. Tilt it down and planes dive. Twist it left or right and planes performs barrel rolls. Pretty simple eh?

A New Day, A New Poll!
It's that time of week gamers, a new day a new poll. This one asks which game would you have liked to see launch alongside Nintendo's forthcoming console Wii. I would have really liked to see Mario Galaxy, but you be the judge! May the best title win! Game ON!
A Stroke of genius: Welcome to the Mii Channel
For all of those who do not know, Nintendo's forthcoming console, Nintendo Wii, will be featuring built in programs or "channels" that will incorporate a variety of different aspects and expand on the idea of what a game console will be. I was recently pondering the possibilities of these channels and I have taken a real liking to what is known as the "Mii Channel".
With the Mii Channel, gamers will be able to "Create 3D caricatures of your friends and family with the Mii Channel". Let's think about that for a minute. What Nintendo has told me is that in 2 months time, I will be able to duke it out in a virtual world against my friend or even my BOSS! I will be able to take it to the courts against my virtual enemies and have a blast doing it. The ability to put yourself and others in games is, dare I use the word, revolutionary. It will be just as fun making a Mii as it will be playing with one.
Can you imagine the heights that the Mii channel alone could reach? I could be staring in my own game! I could be brawling it out with all of the characters from Super Smash Bros. Imagine the endless innovations that this channel could bring. What other system offers these kinds of innovations? Only Nintendo my good friends.
This is just the beginning also. There are numerous other channels that will allow the casual gamer to really delve deep into Wii goodness. The Weather channel, The picture channel and the forecast channel just to name a few. I think that this could really prove to be the hidden success of the Nintendo Wii and truly make the system stand out from the competition. It is going to be a great year gamers, are Wii ready?!
Don't forget ourfirst podcast!! (itunes has been acting funny but we hope to get it up there in the near future)

The new screens keep popping up. Above are some new screens of Bomberman Land for the Wii. Not too shabby.
