Wii update causes new Homebrew Channel installations to fail
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 2 Comments
The official word regarding the latest Wii system update and the Homebrew Channel is in. Those interested in adding the channel to their Wii might want to think twice before updating their system, as the latest update causes installation processes to fail. Although the newest firmware apparently has no effect on existing homebrew data, it will be impossible for new users to install the channel with the latest update. Unfortunately, the update is mandatory in order to access the Wii Shop Channel.
On the bright side of all of this, faster loading times with the Wii Shop Channel have been reported and the creators of the homebrew channel will undoubtedly discover or invent a workaround as they have done previously.
E for All not happening next year

“Unfortunately, E for All will not be occurring in 2009, as our focus now turns to E3.” – IDG statement
This is sad news, though IDG is obviously placing a lot of effort into next year’s E3. If the changes made to E3 are positive, perhaps it might be worth it than E for All will not occur in 2009.

Nintendo once again responds to hardcore gamer concerns
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 1 Comment
“Nintendo cares a great deal about our core gaming fans who have enjoyed Nintendo products and games for many years, and we continue to develop with this consumer in mind. But what we’ve done, in the simplest terms, is to look at the video game market in a different way. Contrary to some of the feedback I’ve received from game enthusiast media, we have not shifted focus to the casual market, but, rather, have expanded our efforts to include them. Let’s focus the argument on home consoles and Wii. Already we have seen core Nintendo games like The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Metroid Prime 3, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Super Mario Galaxy and Mario Kart Wii. And Wii is still less than two years old. Mr. Iwata announced at E3 that the Mario and Zelda teams are working on new games for Wii, and Mr. Miyamoto announced that he’s working on a new Pikmin game. Plus our WiiWare service adds interesting new games each week like World of Goo and Mega Man 9. Additionally, you are seeing core gaming content from key publishers on the Wii platform. Guitar Hero, Rock Band, Call of Duty are great examples. Lastly, we have recently talked about new games coming from Nintendo and 3rd party publishers that will further satisfy the gaming core…” – Denise Kaigler, NOA’s vice president of corporate affairs
I have to agree with Ms. Kaigler at this point. Since Nintendo’s October’s press conference, and even a bit prior to that, many promising projects were revealed. There’s much to look forward to on the horizon. This is only part of Ms. Kaigler’s response, though. You can check out the full statement here.
