Amazing story today, folks! We’re a little late in reporting, but better late than never, that the Wii has won! As we said on September 20th, in the post Wii and Halo 3 take it to the Tracks!, both a Halo 3 car, which could be interpreted for Xbox 360, and a Wii Car, took place in the Dodge Dealers 400 Race at Dover International Speedway.

But here is the exciting part! The Wii car placed second, while the Halo 3 car was not even able to finish the race, after having its engine blown out in the 287th lap! It finished 39 out of 43 racers.

It seems that the Wii has finally truly and fully been hacked. As seen with other game systems, this mod chip allows users to download pirated games from ‘distributors’ in the area for a very low price, usually around $5 to $10. Of course, this is not legal, so the legal excuse for having a modchip is that you want to backup your games.Like seriously, who backups their games? Its a stupid excuse, but apparently courts around the world have accepted it. The downside with the Wii mod chip, however, is that it requires a lot of handyman work, like soldering the chip and taking apart your wii. We, of course, don’t recommend it, but some curious gamers will no doubt try it.

A senior regional director for Microsoft was interviewed by MCV, and what he had to say outraged Wii Fans around the world. The man discussed about the differences between the Xbox 360 and the Wii, and obviously, he thought the Wii was far inferior.

Here is a transcript from the interview. Apparently this guy thinks the Wii can only go so far, and that the Xbox 360 is the true definition of an awesome game system. So therefore, he ends up calling the Wii ‘limited’, and earning himself millions of haters.

Well then you better start bracing yourself for the X-OOM Media Center for the Nintendo Wii. This software, set to be released in late October, will allow Wii users to watch movies, listen to music, or look at pictures, directly from the Wii! Its set to support most major formats of movies, music, and picture files, so it shouldn’t be too hard to set it up and use it.

Game Rush recently reported a story of a 18 year man from Oklahoma, who stole a Nintendo Wii from a woman’s home. If you stop there, it seems normal, but this gets even funnier. The man later fell regret, and returned the Wii to the woman, with an apology and some Marijuana!

The woman refused to accept the marijuana, only to find out that her Wii was stolen AGAIN the next day. I mean, come on woman, don’t you learn after the first time? This is probably the most ridiculous story I have ever heard. I don’t know who is stupider, the woman or the thief.

Its the season to be jolly! Well, not yet, but gamers in Australia should already know what they’re getting this holiday season, because Christmas is the debut time for several Wii games in Australia! This is the biggest event for Nintendo down-under since the release of the Nintendo Wii there, which of course, contributed to the worldwide success of its platform.

The games to be released are Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime: Corruption, Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles, and Pokemon Battle Revolution. They are going to be release on separate dates leading up to Christmas, starting from November 8th all the way to December 13th. Cheers to all our Aussie readers on your latest expansion.

Talk about changing your playing field! The Nintendo Wii and Bungie’s Halo 3 (for the Xbox 360) are now taking their game up a notch. They’re bringing two to the racetrack, and yes, I do mean a real live racetrack. The Dover Speedway will be the racetrack that gets to host this ultimate honour. I mean, we just have to wait a little more for the PS3 car to show up, and then we got another thing to watch!

Congratulations to all Star Wars fans on a major victory! Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, is finally coming to our beloved system. This will bring delight to the millions of fans around the world, who have just been itching to be able to use their wiimote as a lightsaber.

This creates the question of whether a Wii LightSabre will soon be released. If it is, we’ll be the first to report it, so keep reading this blog. I certainly am waiting for the release of one, as it’ll make the Wii 10x more popular among Star Wars fans.

The Hanabi Festival is on in Japan right now. What does that have to concern with you? Well, as part of a very-limited time offer, and because its Super Mario Bros 22nd anniversary (where did the years go?), you can now download Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels game for your Wii!!

Why is this game so special? Because this is the first time this game has ever been released to Europe, a large gaming before. Before this, these games were only available for USA and Japan. This game opens a big possibility of more games coming to Europe, and the Wii market growing there too.

As we reported in this post, Nintendo announced the release of the Wii Zapper for November 19th. Well, that same zapper has parents everywhere pulling the alarm. Thousands of complaints are being recieved from thousands of sites from parents, telling them how bad the Wii Zapper is for their children, and from children around the world.

Here are some sample comments for your enjoyment. Feel free to comment how you feel about this issue below.

“Great, this is what we need. Children with guns learning how to aim and shoot. Then we can sit back and wonder what is happening to our country with kids killing kids……what’s next? Could we make it squirt blood, too?”

The Wii has done it again! It has passed the total sales of Microsoft’s Xbox 360! This is great! Why, you might ask? Because the Xbox 360 had a 1 year lead over the Wii in sales, and it was still not enough to stop the Wii’s growth. This leaves the poor PS3 in ruins, as it never had a chance. This is us Wii owner’s chance to say “In your face Microsoft and Sony, in your face!”.

This once again truly proves my point that the people, the gamers, are choosing innovation over visual effects, gameplay over graphics, and mostly, good old fashioned family fun over hardcore gaming.

Nintendo confirmed that Link’s Crossbow Adventure, the game, and the Wii Zapper, the very-anticipated controller holder, will be coming to the Wii on November 19th, the first anniversary of the Wii. The Zapper will come bundled with a mini-game, called Link’s Crossbow Training, which is there to demonstrate the true power of this peripheral.

Hopefully, this Zapper will bring the Wii to new heights. With this new peripheral, we can play a whole variety of first person shooter games for the Wii in ways that the Xbox 360 and PS3 gamers can’t even think of. With this newfound capability, will come an influx of gamers, which hopefully means that more games will be created for the Wii.

System 3, the company that is creating the game Ferrari Challenge for the Wii and the DS, has released some screenshots of their well-anticipated game. This game promises “the most accurate motion-sensing steering yet seen on the revolutionary console.”. These screenshots are well, average looking, since the wii doesn’t have the world’s best graphics.

Hopefully, like all other games wii, the gameplay will make up for the poor graphics. Another great thing about this game is that if it delivers what it promises, an advanced steering sensor, that it will solve many of the problems that were present in past racing games for the Wii.

Believe it or not, a hospital in Minneapolis is using the Wii as part of a program to rehabilitate stroke patients. The Wii, they believe, will help the patients regain some of their everyday functions that were lost. This is possible through the Wii’s advanced motion controller.

It’s great to see that the Wii is not only helping charities, but its also helping the sick patients to regain what they’ve lost. This is probably the only game console that is helping so many people and making so many people’s day. From kids to seniors, the Wii was designed as a universal game system, and it still fulfills that need, even if its not in the original aspect.

That’s right! Now you can do what you love, playing the wii, and still help the homeless! A company called Garden Court Condominiums in Detroit is hosting a Wii tournament, where gamers will battle it out to beat each other in tennis, boxing, golf, and baseball. The company collects money for charity by charging $10 per contestant and $3 per spectator.

This will be one true test of the Wii, and we will see how many people are willing to pay to come play and watch the wii in action. If this is a smashing success, who knows, the Wii Tournament might be coming to a town near you.
