I updated the Past Updates for October 2006.If you missed an update from October 26th to October 29th it will be in the past updates for October 2006 section.You should know where to go by now so i won't tell you. 
If you live in Australia, mark your calendars because these are just a few of the dates for the PlayWii events. There are tons more, click the link to see them all. 
 
Melbourne Exhibition Centre, Southbank 
Dates & Times: 
Saturday 4 November, 10am – 10pm 
Sunday 5 November, 10am – 6pm You can read the rest of this from Go Nintendo above. 
International news magazine The Economist is not where we expected to find the Wii. After all, The Economist is where we find out about the invisible rich in the U.K. and Macedonia’s consideration for membership in the European Union. It’s serious news and our beloved Wii is, after all, about serious fun.You can read the rest of this from Go Nintendo above. 
As hard as it may seem to believe, the Nintendo Wii launches less than a month from now. It’s been a long time since E3 2006 where Nintendo dropped a bomb on the collective gaming world when they announced that their next-gen console wouldn’t be called Revolution anymore. Oh, no, it’s definitely the Wii. Now, not to blow too many minds, but when the name change was originally announced, a good deal of people weren’t too hip to it. In fact, quite a few people were sure that it was just a joke on Nintendo’s part. Let’s have ourselves a flashback sequence, shall we? Even me EZLO21 hated the name Wii at first too.You can read the rest of this from Go Nintendo above. 
We have seen tons of Target news, but this is the first real bit of Walmart news we have had!You can see the Screenshots of this from Go Nintendo above. 
Reader TeaTom had a very nice catch while reading our recent post on Sonic and the Secret Rings. He noticed this bit in the Babelfish translations from the Jeux-France page…You can read the rest of this from Go Nintendo above. 
Nintendo of Australia has officially confirmed the places, dates, and times for their Play Wii campaign. While we had this info posted a few days back, it wasn’t official.You can read the rest of this from Go Nintendo above. 
Lucky Wii Party goers in Melbourne, Australia got a chance to check out some brand new Twilight Princess footage. There is no word on what was shown in the trailer…simply that it was new.You can read the rest of this from Go Nintendo above. 
Stakeholders in the video game industry should reconsider the impact Nintendo (NTDOY.PK) had back in the 80’s, bringing the industry back to life.You can read the rest of this from Go Nintendo above. 
The rumor was that Reggie had told employees of GameStop during a recent company meeting that “there will be another big Wii revelation around launch time”. This statement has now been confirmed by Gamepro.You can read the rest of this from Go Nintendo above. 
Kind of like the Nintendo Fusion Tour, but not quite to the same epic extent, Nintendo is hauling its Wii console to locations across Australia throughout November and December. This is the perfect opportunity for Australian gamers to roadtest the new system before it goes on sale on December 7.You can read the rest of this from IGN above. 
We know Nintendo loves to update their hardware. For evidence of this trend, we direct your attention to the top-loading NES, the redesigned SNES, the Game Boy Pocket, the Game Boy Color, the Game Boy Advance SP, the Game Boy micro, and the DS Lite.You can read the rest of this from Go Nintendo above. 
Nintendo clearly has a lot of faith in Wii Sports. The game ships with the Wii console, after all – at least in America and Europe, anyway (sorry, Japan!). But I'm not so sure. In the last couple of weeks, I've had the chance to log several hours into the compilation of games and I'm not entirely convinced that these mini sports outings work as well as Nintendo hopes, prays and maybe even believes they do.You can read the rest of this from IGN above. 
Nintendo brought its upcoming Wii console to this year's Anaheim, California-based Life@50+ event, an annual showcase sponsored by the former American Association of Retired Persons designed to expose people over 50 years old to the latest in technology. The Wii display was among panel discussions, celebrity endorsements, and other events at Life@50+, which was attended by more than 20,000 people.You can read the rest of this from The Wiire above. 
Since the announcement of the Virtual Console, Nintendo fans have known about the ability to purchase a chunk of their childhood from Nintendo, this time on the new Wii console. When the Big N unveiled the concept there was little to talk about, as fanboys across the globe debated whether or not we'd be paying $20 a pop for age-old NES games (Thank you very much NES Classics for GBA), and how exactly we'd be able to trade in our gargantuan lot of currency for timeless Nintendo classics. Would it be done with point cards? Would Nintendo break into the space-time continuum and automatically subtract Virtual Console purchases from future paychecks to soften the blow for us? Would the Wii accept American Express? Fans everywhere were stumped.You can read the rest of this from IGN above. 
Majesco announced today that it will be publishing Cooking Mama: Cook Off for the Wii in early 2007.You can read the rest of this from IGN above. 
Genius Sonority is the Japanese developer best known for its work on Nintendo's Pokemon console titles. Well add another million-selling franchise to the name. The company announced today that it is the mystery developer behind Square Enix's Dragon Quest Swords for the Wii!You can read the rest of this from IGN above.

The Twilight Realm sucks the life out of living creatures and turns them into something else. 
They claim that while traveling to Hyrule Castle, Link is pulled into the Twilight Realm and turned into a Wolf (Edge said after being ambushed by the Moblins). 
Midna approaches Link in his cell and promises to help him return his world to normal. 
Wolf Link can climb up cliffs. 
You use the A button to leap from branch to branch in Ordon Woods as Wolf Link.
People absorbed into the Twilight Realm are actually "still there". They're just phased out so nobody can see them. 
You use the "sense" ability to sniff these beings who are sucked into the Twilight Realm out and "see" them, as well as to find hidden objects. It works like the Stone of Agony from Ocarina of Time, which utilized the Rumble Pak.
Wolf Link will be able to travel between the Twilight Realm and the normal world, confirming Wolf Link can exist outside the Twilight Realm (as Edge reported). You can read the rest of this from The Hylia above. 
Nintendo fans can pour a tiny glass of sake today to celebrate the company's reported 54.4 billion yen (approx. $460 million US) profit for the first half of the fiscal year. Last year, in the same period Nintendo earned 36.63 billion yen (approx. $309 US).You can read the rest of this from IGN above.

What is up with all the Aussie news! Must be a good day for Nintendo over there…nothing wrong with that!

Modojo has an article discussing Nintendo’s slow killing of the Game Boy name. It is true that both the Game Boy Micro, and Game Boy Advance SP are still on the market, with the SP doing very well, but it doesn’t seem like Nintendo is that interested in the Game Boy name anymore.

So, why did you originally decide to undertake this particular project? 
As I wrote in my introduction, I felt that we should accurately document the course that led to the creation of Wii. With Wii, Nintendo has taken the idea of breaking with the past and made a console with the somewhat overblown code name "Revolution," all in the hope of dramatically changing the way things are done. This was definitely not an easy path, and we often worked without being able to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I felt very strongly that I wanted to document this process. Of course, for people that want to know what ideas were behind the creation of Wii, this kind of record might be valuable and interesting, but I didn't want to force it upon other people that might not be interested in hearing it. That's why we decided to put it on Nintendo's homepage, so it would always be available to everyone who wants to read about it. We thought that this would be the ideal format to inform people about the history of Wii and the ideas that went into its development.You can read the rest of this from Nintendo above. 
Folks, we’re getting old. Don’t worry, we’re not yet at the point where we’re crapping ourselves and referring to Metamucil as our “energy drink.” It’s more like we’ve reached a point where we can’t eat as many spicy foods and aren’t able to drink as heavily as we could in college. Still, we’re getting old. So is our industry. And only Nintendo can save us.You can read the rest of this from Go Nintendo above.
