16th August 2011 – Nintendo is offering two of its most popular Wii titles, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and Super Mario Galaxy at an entry level price as part of its acclaimed Nintendo Selects* range from 16th September. Packed with action, adventure and platform fun, both games will provide plenty of fun at a value price **.
This year Nintendo is celebrating the 25th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda video game series and in celebration of this has selected The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess to join its Nintendo Selects range. Originally released to great acclaim in 2006 as a launch title for Wii, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is in keeping with the tradition of The Legend of Zelda series as the heroic Link sets off on a quest through the land of Hyrule. Dark forces have stolen the light from the land and replaced it with a mysterious darkness known as Twilight. The young Link has been chosen by the gods to help free Hyrule and return the light to the land by defeating the King of Darkness. With the powers given to him by the gods, Link can travel within the darkness by transforming into a wolf where actions in the Twilight affect the light world.

New Wii hack doesn’t require a game

Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments

Just in time for the European release of Xenoblade Chronicles comes a new Wii hack created by the homebrew community. Unlike past releases, “LetterBomb” takes advantage of the Wii Message Board rather than a game to boot up the HackMii Installer and ultimately creates the Homebrew Channel on the console.

So long as you can locate your Wii’s Wi-Fi MAC address (which should be in the system settings), you should be able to download a customized zip file that can be used on your SD card for the installation process.

You can create the zip file here and read more information about the exploit here.
