Wii Availability

It turns out that Activision, the maker of Guitar Hero III, has admitted fault in producing Nintendo Wii Guitar Hero III with a faulty bug that makes the game only play in mono mode instead of Stereo and Dolby Digital II. This issue has made many gamers throw the arms up in anger, but Activision now has promised that they will offer a replacement free of charge.

Guitar Hero is one of the most popular games out right now which is putting Activision back on the board as a leader in video games.  If you're looking to buy Wii, Guitar Hero III will probably be one of the most played games in your household. Everyone dreams of being a rocker and here's your chance to live it. Well almost...

The Nintendo Wii is known for its party games. Who doesn't enjoy swinging their arms around wildly with a bunch of friends. Mario Party started it all in the beginning and lots of copy cats came out after that. Some of the most popular Wii games are party games like Carnival Games which sells really well, but is really simple.

A new party game called Ninja Reflex is coming out with a cool mini game that forces you to try to catch flies with chopsticks. There will also be other mini games that focuses on reaction time and reflexes like all true ninjas have. This looks like a cool game and will be fun for the whole family. Who doesn't like Ninjas?

It turns out that Virtual Console has been doing quite well for Nintendo since its release. If you don't know, Virtual Console lets you download old console games and play them on your Nintendo Wii. There is nothing like playing Sonic the Hedgehog and Super Mario Bros 3 on your Nintendo Wii. The games are available for less than 10 dollars each which is a great deal for the convenience.

The latest statistics show that Nintendo has made over $33 million from selling Virtual Console games. This is a good sign for the service and for Nintendo and its partners. We should be seeing more downloadable games like Virtual Console in the future if the pace keeps up.

It turns people are using Nintendo WIi more than some people have claimed. Now the only is figuring Wii availability so you can buy one.

Guitar Hero III has been just taking over the Nintendo Wii world. People have been jamming to Raining Blood and One all night and day. Amazon sold out very early on preorders and it is very difficult to find Guitar Hero III right now anywhere. Another great feature is that you can play online.

The only mode has brought 622,580 connections over the Wii's Wi-Fi connect service for the week. It actually ending up beating Diamond and Pearl Pokemon (1.4+ million connections).

This is a very impressive start for Guitar Hero III. I have a feel that the Wii availability won't be as bad as the Wii Guitar Hero III availability. Get one if you can find one!

Super Mario Galaxy has already been released in Japan and has sold 130,000 on the first day. Many people were surprised that people weren't lining up outside for this game. A lot of bloggers just noticed the launch was quiet. It was nothing like Halo 3 being launched.

But with such a quiet marketing approach, Super Mario Galaxy is still doing well by seling 130,000. Mario games are known to keep selling throughout the lifespan of the Nintendo system. Maybe they hope that gamers review the game and then the masses will follow. I think that's what they are thinking.

Some good news in Nintendo Wii Land. The creator of The Sims and Sim City, Will Wright, says he loves the Nintendo Wii and is going to bring Spore to the game. This is fantastic as he is one of those geniuses in the gaming industry who's made quite a fortune.

Also, a Nintendo DS version is always in the works for Wright's team of developers. That should make it really interesting as well. Will claims he is a huge fan of DS strategy games. One game he fonds of particularly, Advance Wars. I can't blame him. That game is pretty cool.

Many Guitar Hero fans are up in arms after they realized the Dolby pro Logic II is missing from the game. This doesn't seem like that big of a deal, but considering that this is one of the most sought after games for the Nintendo Wii. I can see that people just want something just short of perfection.

Other than that, people seem to love Guitar Hero III on their Wii. There is nothing like rockingn out on your wireless guitar in front of the comfort of your own home listening to some of the most famous songs of our time.

The official forums for Guitar Hero claim they are fixing it. We'll see when that happens.

Rockstar seems to get all the fun from major media outlets these days. The same people over and over again are trying to say that Manhunt 2 is too violent and mess up little kids and make them into violent killers themselves...

Yeah...

Most of it's coming from people who are just trying to make a big fuss for tv purposes. That's just media I guess. Recently CBS's Katie Couric added that even she thinks its very dangerous. What I find alarming is that assume kids can walk in and buy these games. That's not exactly true with the mature rating.

Rockstar seems to be loving the media attention. Ironically, it only makes more young kids want to buy it. So much for saving the children. Right?
