Wii

Nintendo’s online store is now offering a blue Wiimote and nunchuck set. The two can be purchased together for $20 – the same discount price available for the other colored sets. Feel free to place an order here.


Update 2: Nintendo’s response here.

Update: Wii and DS are having issues as well.

Wii U and 3DS have both been hit with a large amount of issues with regard to online/network services. Users may experience problems accessing the eShop, Miiverse, updates, and online functionality within games.

Nintendo estimates that the Wii U eShop began facing issues at around 2:08 AM PT / 5:08 ET today, though many couldn’t connect starting last night. Wii U’s network services as a whole went down at 5:15 AM PT / 8:15 AM ET.

The 3DS, meanwhile, began seeing network outages at about 2:08 AM PT / 5:08 ET as well.

Game Informer has put up an insightful interview with Retro Studios CEO Michael Kelbaugh and Nintendo producer Kensuke Tanabe. The two spoke about how the game’s delay benefited development, revealed Monster Games’ involvement with the project, talked about the possibility of a 3DS version, and more. Tanabe also teased, “we may consider not just the Donkey Kong Country series but a broader range of possibilities for Retro’s next project.”
