The Conduit HD confirmed for NVIDIA Tegra devices
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Podcast Stories, Wii | 1 Comment
As originally expected, The Conduit is heading to Tegra-supported devices – including the upcoming Shield handheld.
The Conduit HD will be pretty much like the original Wii game, though it will sport prettier visuals. Players will be able to take on the first two missions for free and will need to offer up $7 for the remaining seven. There will also be an option to purchase levels 3-6 for $3 and levels 7-9 for the same amount.
It’ll definitely be strange seeing The Conduit on new hardware, but I guess High Voltage Software figured this would be a smart thing to do.

Wii Mini sells 35,700 units in Canada
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii | 0 comments
Since its release, the Wii Mini has managed to sell 35,700 units in Canada. Nintendo of Canada’s Matt Ryan said that the “Canadian market has reacted positively to the great value the system has to offer, and we are seeing this reflected in the sales numbers.”
Wii Mini sales have been fairly strong since the console launched on December 7. Its performance likely motivated Nintendo of Europe to distribute the hardware throughout its various territories. Europe will be receiving the Wii Mini next month.

In Canada, the Wii Mini costs $99. Nintendo did not announce a price for the console when it confirmed the new release for Europe since retailers typically set their own prices, but most have set it at around £80 thus far.
Amazon UK and GAME are listing the Wii Mini for £79.99. Meanwhile, ShopTo has a product page open with a £84.85 price point.
Worth noting, Canada’s $99 price is worth £65 directly.

[Video Features] Eggbusters “Beta” Episode – Twilight Princess
Posted on 12 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in Features, GameCube, Videos, Wii | 0 comments
If you own Twilight Princess, you will most likely want to try this glitch out. It’s easily the most fruitful one I’ve done so far with Eggbusters, and one that has more possibilities than I could explore even in ten episodes!
