Latest Wii Update Will, As Usual, Attempt To Block The Homebrew Channel
If you bothered to turn your Wii on tonight, you'll have been prompted to perform a system update. It'll take your Wii to version 3.4. Version 3.4 does little new except, and I quote, "automatically remove" any "unauthorized modifications to save files". That's your edited Twilight Princess save files, users of the Homebrew Channel, so as with most firmware updates, you'd do well to stay away from this one if you want to continue getting any expanded use out of your Wii.

Midna Cosplay Takes The Cosplay Cake
The 2007 Anime Expo at Long Beach was held last year. Why, then, has it taken until now for this amazing Midna cosplay photo to end up on my desk? You know what, forget it, I don't want to hear your pathetic excuses. Do not fail me again, internet. Click through for a full-size version. More » -

Wii Now Loading Homebrew From SD Cards (Unofficially)
Team Twiizers, the software enthusiasts behind the Twilight Hack (a Wii exploit stemming from Twilight Princess) have announced that their hardware-modless software can now load homebrew apps from the SD card slot in your Wii. Just imagine a world in which the Nintendo Wii could play your old SNES roms...oh how that would Change Things For The Better. More »

The Verve Lead Singer Buying Up Twilight Princess
Instead of buying a sandwich, The Verve lead singer Richard Ashcroft was spotted in London's Uxbridge Road purchasing Twilight Princess for his Wii. Little late, huh? Don't blame Ashcroft. He's been making a new Verve album and doing drugs and other stuff. More » -

Wii Hacked?
We're not so surprised that the Wii has been apparently cracked, but rather, that it's taken so long. Still! The folks over at forum TehSkeen has figured out an exploit to modify a saved game from Twilight Princess, crash the machine and have been able to run a few lines of their own code. It's not even necessary to "mod" the Wii console to run this exploit. Don't freak yet, as it's only possible to run four lines of code so far. From the TehSkeen: More »

Marathon Zelda Gamers at it Again
You may remember last weekend when I posted about the guys at cameronbanga.com who tried to make it through four Zelda games in 48 hours. Due to some glitches, they weren't able to squeeze in all four games but still managed to raise over $1200 for Penny Arcade's Child's Play charity. So, in an attempt to make up what they couldn't finish, the boys are at it again but this time they have given themselves eleven hours to complete Twilight Princess. The marathon gaming session will again benefit Child's Play and will be the first in a series of charity driven weekend gaming sessions. Good luck on your mission guys, you are benefiting a great charity. -

Twilight Princess Capsule Figures
While I was roaming around PAX last weekend I happened upon a booth by local Seattle store Pink Godzilla. They had an amazing selection of vintage games, Japanese toys and even some Japanese systems. What really caught my eye (although it was hard to focus on just one thing) were these little Twilight Princess figures. These are actually capsule figures from Japan and each figure came in parts, reminding me of my model making days. They come in pieces so that they can produce larger figures and still manage to fit them into the little plastic egg shaped capsules. I grabbed the whole set for $25 and spoke with one of the guys working the booth who told me they are readily available through the Pink Godzilla website. What's really great about PG is that all of their items include free shipping from right here in the US, thus relieving some of the long ship times often run into when ordering the same items from overseas. So, if you're a fan of Japanese games and toys and don't like waiting six to eight weeks for your precious treasures to arrive, run, don't walk to Pink Godzilla now! -

Camy Unleashes The Wii Hero Pack
Are you a real fan of The Twilight Princess is you are playing with just the boring old Wiimote and nunchuk attachment? Camy International doesn't seem to think so. They are releasing the Hero Pack, which consists of plastic and foam replicas of iconic Hyrulean shield and master sword combo. Your Wiimote fits into the hilt of the blade, while the nunchuk connects to the strap on the shield, effectively making you king dork of the Zelda people for around $20. It certainly looks nifty, but I worry about how awkward the setup might be for activities like fishing, or just basic platforming for that matter. Hit the link below for the full release, and keep an eye open for Kotaku impressions on the set in the near future. More »

Zelda Director Says Wii Won't Alienate Hardcore
With all these housewives and old folks raving about the Wii, hardcore gamers feel left out. Let's face it: mini-games are really cool if you are used to Mine Sweeper and Solitaire. But Nintendo's not trying to push players away! Just listen to Zelda director Eiji Aonuma explain how Nintendo can expand the audience and not alienate fans: More »

GC Twilight Princess is Amazon's Deal of the Day

Today's special is the GC version of The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess for a mere $32.99. It's available with their free Super Saver Shipping if you don't mind waiting a couple of extra days, which, if you've waited this long to get it, probably isn't an issue. More »

Update: Glitchy Twilight Princess Disc? Send It Back!
A few weeks ago, Stephen Munn over at Aeropause reported that Nintendo was replacing Twilight Princess discs (Wii version) that had been affected by the "Cannon Room Glitch." Stephen unfortunately got caught in this trap and dutifully returned his disc to Nintendo for replacement. Well, the new disc came back and Stephen says that once again all is well in Hyrule. More »

Glitchy Twilight Princess Disc? Send It Back!
Despite repeated warnings and articles about it all over the internet and certain forums, Stephen Munn over at Aeropause got caught in the dreaded Twilight Princess Cannon Room Bug.

"Wii And Zelda Porn"? Yes!
Yes, Nintendo just sent us an e-mail with the title "Wii And Zelda Porn". After sprinting for the tissues while the pictures downloaded, I couldn't have been more disappointed to return and view the contents. Instead of sexy photos of a shirtless oiled Link whipping out his "Master Sword" or freaknasty pics of Zelda with an octorok, we got photos from Nintendo's production and distribution facility in North Bend, Washington. Cue slide whistle sound here. More » -
