Chris Harding the Crazy Mini Golf British Champion and World Crazy Golf Champion 2007, swinging in a virtual world…
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 1 Comment
Stourbridge, England, 24th November 2008. Crazy Mini Golf is more than just seaside fun and games on a rainy day, it’s actually an international sport, which we British excel at! Chris Harding – the current British Champion and 2007 World title holder – regularly tours the world with his putter in hand, taking on all contenders.
Chris recently visited the Data Design Interactive development studio for a grudge match against the development team in “Kidz Sports – Crazy Mini Golf” which is available on Nintendo Wii. The best bits of this “winner takes all” match are now available on video, proving that Chris is not just a champion on the green, but also in the virtual world.
Eidos messes up big time – Tomb Raider: Underworld Wii glitch prevents game completion
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 1 Comment
Wouldn’t it stink to go through a game, reach the end, but then realize that the game can’t actually be completed? Unfortunately, this seems to be the case for some players who are going through Tomb Raider: Underworld for Wii. The glitch apparently appears in the Coastal Thailand area, depending on how you attack that area. One member of the Eidos forums claims to have found a solution to the problem and provides a way to proceed through the level, but one must wonder why this issue was never discovered before the game released.
What would Aonuma change in Ocarina of Time?

“I would change the Iron Boots from equipment to an item. If they could be turned on or off at the touch of a button, the Water Temple would be more fun. I wish I could travel back via time warp and fix that.” – Eiji Aonuma
I completely agree with Mr. Aonuma. Most who have played Ocarina of Time say that the Water Temple itself was confusing, but if you ask me, if was more annoying that you needed to keep bringing up the menu to switch between boots.

Chances are high that Hudson will revitalize classic games

“Here, let me give the official rumor quote that all businesspeople have memorized: “I can neither confirm nor deny rumors.” That being said, you’ve already seen us bring back a few of our popular series. We get requests every day to bring back all sorts of series, like Adventure Island, Military Madness, Bonk, and so on. Let me say this: I think we’d be crazy not to bring some of our classic brands back.” – Amar Gavhane, Hudson’s Associate Brand Manager
Adventure Island, Military Madness, and Bonk all seem like perfect games to bring back if you ask me. Although, out of those three, I’d love to see Adventure Island reborn the most. What about you guys?

WHAT:
Live musical performances have always been a fun part of the holidays. This year, Nintendo will be making spirits bright by bringing Wii Music to your neighborhood. This weekend, Nov. 22-23 between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. at the Staten Island Mall in Staten Island, NY, holiday shoppers will be able to see first-hand how Wii can be turned into a musical instrument with Wii Music. A family of street musicians will be on hand with Wii Music to demonstrate the 50 different tunes and more than 60 instruments available in the game, from melodic steel drums to soaring trumpets.
