Consumers and their families soon will be able to experience even more must-play games for the Wii™ system at an excellent value. Nintendo has announced the addition of four games to the Nintendo® Selects collection, a hot-selling series of fun, family-friendly Wii games offered at a suggested retail price of $19.99 each. Starting Aug. 28, the Nintendo Selects lineup grows to include Super Paper Mario™, Mario Strikers™ Charged, Punch-Out!!™ and Super Mario Galaxy™, which is recognized as one of the most acclaimed Wii games of all time.
Already enjoyed by millions of players around the globe, games in the Nintendo Selects collection offer boundless fun at an enticing price for Wii users of any experience level, whether they want to expand their own game libraries or find affordable, fun-packed gifts for loved ones. The Wii console, which comes bundled with the Mario Kart™ Wii game and the Wii Wheel™ accessory, delivers extraordinary entertainment value for families and is available for a suggested retail price of $149.99.
The 3DS has managed to obtain some much-needed sales momentum following a significant price drop in Japan last week. According to Radio Nikkei, the system moved 207,000 units for the week of August 8. That’s the second best-selling week for the handheld.
Nintendo’s latest portable was priced at 25,000 yen at launch. On August 8, the price was lowered to 15,000 yen.
Starting in September, Nintendo will offer ten free NES titles to early 3DS adopters. An additional round of GBA games will be available later this year.
Hideo Kojima posted the following image on his Twitter account just a short while ago:
The important part of this photo is the Z.O.E. 3DS (okay, it’s really a backward Z, but I don’t know how to make that character on the computer.) Could Kojima really be bringing a Z.O.E. title to Nintendo’s handheld?
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.
