Mr. Resetti “may be disturbing to young children”
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 15 Comments
Mr. Resetti is an occasionally annoying character that has appeared in all Animal Crossing titles, but no one would say that he could disturb anyone…Right? Well, Nintendo has issued a warning in the Animal Crossing: City Folk instruction booklet about Mr. Resetti, and believe it or not note that he “may be disturbing to young children.”
“It is important that players save before switching off the Wii console in order to retain data after each play session (see Saving Data, above). If players switch off without saving, the character Mr. Resetti may appear upon restarting. Mr. Resetti’s purpose is to teach players the importance of saving. However, parents should be aware that his personality and tone of voice, while intentionally humourous, are authoritative and may be disturbing to young children.”

Most of us have played The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time before, but never quite like this. A group of people are working together to remake the beta version of the game. Items such as a fishing rod that can be equipped and a reed whistle for calling Epona will be included. Additionally, you’ll be able to see a few neat locations including the Castle Sewers, which was initially the way that it would be possible to escape Hyrule Castle.

Rumor: Monster Hunter 3 could go multiplatform
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii | 4 Comments
When Monster Hunter 3 was revealed to the public, most were shocked that the game would appear on a Nintendo system. Rather than releasing on the PS3, Capcom had decided to go with the Wii to release the game. However, if the latest rumor is true, Monster Hunter 3 might not be a Wii exclusive after all.
A rough translation of a blurb from a foreign gaming magazine is as follows: “The decision of Monster Hunter 3’s Wii-exclusivity is not yet final.” This bit of information comes from a Capcom representative. The thing is, as was mentioned, the line from the representative is a rough translation. Moreover, we can’t be 100% sure that this rumor is true until Capcom officially confirms/denies the rumor.

New Wii hardware renders modchips useless
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
It isn’t exactly a well-kept secret that Nintendo has been doing everything in their power to stop homebrew, and other activity on the Wii. Some of the more recent updates to the system have attempted to rid any data that seems suspicious. Another obstacle has been presented to the Wii modchip community however. Nintendo is releasing new a new Wii drive by combining the D1A and drive controller chips to form a new one, GC2-D3. Apparently, this prevents any modchip from functioning properly.
This discovery will presumably be a more difficult obstacle to overcome than in the past. This time, Nintendo has instead made an attempt to modify what’s under the hood of the system. We’ll see how long this takes, if ever, to devise a workaround.

Walmart says tens of thousands of Nintendo Wiis sold during Thanksgiving
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
No matter where a Wii was being sold across America, one knows that, chances are, it was gone during the Thanksgiving week. Nintendo chief Satoru Iwata said that about 800,000 Wii units were sold, and stores are reaping the benefits of having the system in stock. Walmart spokesperson Ravi Jariwala has discussed how the company made out. According to that representative, the Wii “sold through tens of thousands by early Monday afternoon.” The company, perhaps surprisingly, still has some Wii consoles in stock and will continue to restock throughout the holiday season.
