Rumor: Factor 5 projects still being worked on, Silicon Knights developing Wii title
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii | 5 Comments
A few rumors regarding Factor 5 and Silicon Knights have popped up, mostly related to the Wii. First off, in spite of the well-known issues Factor 5 has been facing, apparently all projects are still being worked on. Additionally, an announcement is expected from the company in the next two weeks. Will we finally hear word on Kid Icarus?
Also noteworthy is Silicon Knights interest in the Nintendo’s console. Though nothing has been confirmed outright, the latest rumors state that the company might be creating a Wii game. Silicon Knights has expressed openness to the system before, and has had experience with a Nintendo system before (GameCube, Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes/Eternal Darkness).
Lastly, there has been some talk about Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop and the zombie count yet again. Concerns about the number of zombies has been well-documented, but apparently there will be a sufficient amount. This statement is quite similar to what Nintendo Power said in a previous issue.

The weekly savings list is rather short this week, but I’m sure most of you know why. Sadly, Circuit City has gone out of business.

HDD possible on Wii through homebrew workaround
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 1 Comment
Nintendo announced back in October that a Wii storage solution was on the way, but not in the form of a hard drive. Chances are, the company will never allow Wii owners to be able to officially connect a hard drive to the Wii. So that’s where the homebrew community comes in.
Matrix has partially revealed their newest creation, the WiiZii. The device is a plug and play mod that allows an SATA HDD mechanism to be connected to the Wii. In the meantime, fast loading of ISO and homebrew files on the Wii are also possible. The kit comes with 2Mbit of memory and perhaps most significant is that the firmware can receive updates easily and will be updated in the future. If you’re looking for a Wii HDD, as you can probably tell, this might be one of the best chances you’ll get to use one on the Wii.
