Ahh, Friday again. My how the time flies when you’re having fun, especially with your Nintendo Wii! There’s a track on Excitetruck that is just killlling me and while it’s a Platinum track, it’s the first one and is tougher than the rest of them in the series. I think it’s because it’s a snow level track and man do I despise slippery snow levels! The game is still an absolute blast, especially when I’m racing around with my custom MP3’s from my SD card. I do hope more games support this feature.

Working on the podcast with Joey and SwiitPii was an absolute blast, we have some re-recording to do on segments that didn’t come out too clear, but it’s going to kick butt when it’s done. Like.. Reggie Fils-Aimes has run ‘outta bubble gum kick butt. Here’s some Wii Bits for the end of the week, have a great and safe weekend my fantastic readers!

- Keep an eye out for a book about the Wii coming soon, here’s a link to Random House books with more information it. The book seems to cover everything about the Wii system itself including configuration, playing with Mii’s and the other channels, and even a strategy guide for Wii Sports.

- EuroGamer has their eye on the Nintendo Wii in 2007 and in the article linked, they look at both, Nintendo DS and Wii offerings to come for 2007. It’s looking more and more like 2007 is going to be the year of Nintendo with the one two punch that is the DS and the Wii and I can’t wait.

- Here’s a neat writeup showing how much more powerful the Wii is than the GameCube in case you were still wondering.

- NYKO has announced even more peripherals for the Nintendo Wii system, and GameBizDaily.com has the low-down. Look for the charging kit, HiDef cables, and even a wireless, extended range sensor bar to come from them in the near future.

- A nice writeup over ar Gamasutra going over sales number for the Wii in comparison to the other Next Gen systems this holiday season. Here’s a good quote that sums it up nicely:

“Our checks indicate that Nintendo’s Wii console continues to sell well, while Sony PS3 supplies improved somewhat towards the end of the holiday period. We believe Microsoft’s Xbox 360 is on track to reach our 2006 sales estimate of 4.5 million units in the U.S., while Nintendo’s Wii will likely exceed our original 1.2 million-unit target. Our estimate for PS3 sales in the U.S. for 2006 remains 700k units.”

- And lastly, here’s an amusing look at 100 very creative Mii’s on the Nintendo Wii. Most of these come from the very talented community over at MiiPlaza.net, be sure to check their site out for even more creative Mii’s:

Ok, till next time, thanks for reading!
