Reports: New update destroying Wii consoles
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 21 Comments
Update: Nintendo has responded to the issues with the update and is offering to repair unmodified consoles for free.
Although initial reports suggested that the latest Wii update automatically only removes traces of the homebrew channel, there seems to be a much larger issue: It’s breaking some consoles.
The main issue lies in the actual update process. A program that allows the Wii to boot properly – boot2 – has also been upgraded but it apparently has a high chance of causing write errors. Because of this, some people are experiencing a frozen download screen when trying to download menu 4.2. The Wii will not respond if it’s frozen, and when you take the plug out…Nothing will happen when you boot it back up. This incident doesn’t seem to be happening to every Wii owner, but it looks like this could be a pretty significant problem nonetheless.

Suda51: Expect more bosses in Desperate Struggle than the first, around 10 2D jobs
Posted on 15 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in News, Wii | 0 comments
In a recent interview with IGN’s Mark Bozon, game developer and creator of No More Heroes Goichi Suda revealed a few new details on the upcoming No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle, including details on the new 2D minigames that will be replacing the odd jobs in the first game.
“You’ll see around 10 2D mini-games in No More Heroes 2, and they’ll all be done in the retro 2D, 8-bit style. I thought that’d be a fun way to re-imagine them. If you want to play them though so far you need to actually go to the areas in the story mode, and I’m not sure yet if I’ll include them as any separate challenge mode. So far they’re contained only in the story mode.” – Suda51
Also in the interview he talked briefly about the new bosses in the game, including details regarding Nathan Capran.
“Well for now I have to keep it to only a few bosses. Definitely you should expect more bosses than in No More Heroes one though. At PAX we had a demo where you were fighting Nathan Capran, and what I can tell you is a little info about his origin. Originally he was created during No More Heroes, and I was thinking about him as a potential boss, but there wasn’t really room to fit him into the story, so we decided to hold off. But I still wanted to see how he’d fit into the No More Heroes world, so once the sequel was decided on I absolutely wanted to get him into the game. That’s how we got the boss everyone saw at PAX, and unfortunately I’ll have to hold off on other talks at this time.” – Suda51
