As magical as the storied land of Ys is itself, the heritage of this original action RPG franchise spans over two decades and a number of different platforms. Definitive in design, story, and gameplay, the two introductory Books of Ys have long been etched in the memories of hardcore gamers. At a time when few other games attempted such grand scope and scale, Ys delivered on the promise of a sweeping narrative, fast-paced action, and a stunning musical score that to this day still rises to the top of all-time greatest lists.In early 2008, Books I & II, completely remade for Nintendo DS™, were released in Japan. Separated into individual games, Ys I and Ys II for Nintendo DS introduced a number of new features and innovations to the series canon, including touch screen support and multiplayer for up to four. In bringing the titles to North America, Atlus worked closely with the developer to put both games on a single cartridge, rejoining the two first Books of Ys. Moreover, Atlus is endeavoring to add one more monumental enhancement to the release: an entirely new localization.

It was only a week ago that Nintendo released its latest Wii update, but the homebrew community has been hard at work to allow homebrew activity to continue. This shouldn’t be too surprising considering Nintendo’s past efforts to eliminate homebrew have failed.
WiiBrew has officially launched Twilight Hack 0.1beta2, which is compatible with the newest firmware update (3.4). In future updates, Nintendo will undoubtedly make an effort to block homebrew yet again, but as has been the case with previous instances, the homebrew community will manage to bypass the system again.
