Wii Adds Obvious Feature & Other Goodies
Just before I went to bed, I saw the slot in my Wii glowing in the otherwise completely dark living room. I turned it on to see Nintendo send out no less than three messages about various things. One of them is a notice for an available update in the Wii firmware which includes a new feature that seemed pretty obviously necessary to me since the introduction of the Internet channel: you can now use a USB keyboard with your Wii. Huzzah!
Also, if you haven’t noticed, some new games were added to the Shopping Channel at the beginning of a week. The big news is that they are the first games for a brand new platform of games available for the Wii: NeoGeo. The first released games are all classic arcade style fighters which NeoGeo was famous for. I’m looking forward to many more NeoGeo games coming to the Wii. Also, a few weeks ago we also started to see imports pop in the channel, including the Super Mario Bros. 2 that was released in Japan (known as the Lost Levels in the U.S.) in all of it’s original 8-bit glory, and an arcade style Japanese Shooter called Sin & Punishment for the (I believe) Super Famicom.
i had no idea you owned a wii. you are once again placed in the top of my list of favorite people. and also in the top of my list for people i’m extremely jealous of. i wanted to buy one, but i needed a guitar pedal instead. but it’s a really cool guitar pedal. tell me it’s cool! tell me my decision was the right one!
I’m sure you made the right decision. Your guitar pedal has motion sensing controls and can download and play classic games over the internet, right?
Oh….
Well, keep rocking in the free world then.
nice. real nice, hung. you are SOOO funny.
and i WILL keep rockin in the free world, thank you very much!
