VC News USA:<a href="http://press.nintendo.com/articles.jsp?id=13893">WII-KLY UPDATE: THREE NEW CLASSIC GAMES ANNOUNCED FOR WII SHOP CHANNEL</a> 
Nintendo has some Virtual Console news and here is some of it: "This Halloween, you needn't leave your own living room to encounter spooky spirits and creepy creatures from mysterious otherworlds. The Wii Shop Channel is celebrating the year's most frightfully fun holiday by offering a mix of eerie games that'll keep players' spines tingling. Mash with monsters in a classic Castlevania sequel, tangle with supernatural samurai or battle as a powerful magician-you're bound to discover cool tricks and visual treats no matter which titles you choose. Happy Hallo-Wii! 
 
Today Nintendo adds three new classic games to the popular Wii™ video game system's Wii Shop Channel. The games go live at 9 a.m. Pacific time. Nintendo adds new games to the channel every Monday. Wii owners with a high-speed Internet connection can redeem Wii Points™ to download the games. Wii Points can be purchased in the Wii Shop Channel or at retail outlets. This week's new games are: 
 
Castlevania® II Simon's Quest (NES®, 1 player, Rated E for Everyone - Mild Fantasy Violence, 500 Wii Points): In this one-player adventure, you'll take on the role of Simon Belmont once again and duel to the death with Count Dracula. Grab your legendary whip, Vampire Killer, and roam freely through Transylvania on a quest to find the count's missing body parts-these are the key to breaking an evil curse. This quest won't be easy, though, for you must battle hideous fiends who stalk the land. In addition to the intense action and tight control the Castlevania series is known for, this sequel also introduced several unique game-play elements into the fold. Build experience the longer you play, buy weapons and items from merchants, or talk with villagers to get clues (some of which are false). Watch as day turns to night and then back again. Take a deep breath, steady your nerves, and help Simon end his curse and defeat the count once and for all." You can read the rest of this from Nintendo's Press Room above.

Nintendo has some HONG KONG news and here is some of it: "High Court Intervenes to Stop Distribution, Freeze Assets. 
 
REDMOND, Wash., Oct. 22, 2007 - At Nintendo's request, the Hong Kong High Court has intervened to help stop a global distribution operation involving game copying devices and modification chips ("mod chips") that violate its copyrights and trademarks in the Nintendo DS™ and Wii™ systems. 
 
On Oct. 8th, the court ordered the raid of Supreme Factory Limited facilities. During a three-day period, Nintendo representatives seized more than 10,000 game copying devices and mod chips. The game copying devices connect to the Nintendo DS and are used to copy and play game files offered unlawfully via the Internet. The mod chips allow the play of pirated Wii discs or illegal copies of Nintendo games downloaded from the Internet. 
 
The search also turned up volumes of documents reflecting the scope of the operation. The Supreme Factory Limited has ties to a French company, Divineo SARL, and its principal, Max Louarn, who are also named in the legal action initiated by Nintendo. The High Court prohibited the companies from further distribution of the devices and from disposing a portion of their assets worldwide, and ordered that such assets be frozen pending outcome of the legal proceedings." you can read the rest of this from Nintendo's Press Room above.

My Starter Review:My PH Starter Review part 2 and 3 
Reminder:I will be updating later tomorrow 
Yeah i will be updating later tomorrow because i feel tired so i am going to bed earlier then i normally do so see ya all tomorrow about 12 pm or sooner depending on when i wake up. 
Well i finally beat Phantom Hourglass and Spoiler Warning Bellum is the Main Boss in this game.I will not say more so as to let you find out more about him. 
Well after you get the Sea Chart from the Ocean King Temple you finally move on to you finally head on to Isle of Ember where you'll meet the Fortune-Teller Astrid who will tell your fortune and she will tell you to go to the Temple of Fire.Over all i give this a 8 out of 10. 
After you beat the Temple of Fire return to Mercay Island you will be coming back here a lot by the way.You will head back to the Temple of the Ocean King for a second time you will be returning here 4 more times later on.You will be getting Sea Charts and other stuff here and it is a very very very Deep Temple and that is all i am going to say about that.But you will get the point when you get to the next Sea chart.Getting the northwestern Sea Chart will open up a new location to you and you will be going to Molida Island but before going there you'll need the Cannon so going to head to Cannon Island and get the Cannon.So with that i give this a 7 out of 10. 
After going to Molida Island and the Northwestern Sea you will see that Ghost Ship again later on.So head for Bannen Island Island if you want to.I would head for the uncharted island if i were you so that we can get to places faster later on not required but it helps.So i give this a 7 out of 10. 
I will add even more to this review later even tho i beat it.Also again this review will not be on the News Feed oh this site.

Mercay Island and Ocean King Temple already start you off with a fun adventure and when you go Cielda's Grandpa he will tell you some stuff and then you will leave his house.But if you thought that was annoying you go out of his house and the ground starts shaking and Cielda starts talking about Earthquakes and then later on when you go to Ocean King Temple you finally meet Linebeck the owner of that big boat you saw earlier and you have to save him from the Temple.So i give that a 8 out of 10.

The Wii Remote Jacket provides cushioning for the Wii Remote for people who might accidentally throw or drop their Wii Remotes while playing games. Use of the Wii Remote Jacket is meant to supplement, not replace, the basic game-play instructions: keep a firm grip, don't let go of the controller, use the wrist strap and make sure your play area is free of people or objects. The Wii Remote Jacket also serves as a cover for the Wii Remote. Nintendo recommends players use the new Wii Remote Jacket as a cushiony shield, though the current Wii Remote is a safe product when used properly."

Nintendo has some Phantom Hourglass news and here is some of it: "REDMOND, Wash., Oct. 1, 2007 – Today's launch of The Legend of Zelda®: Phantom Hourglass for Nintendo DS™ marks the arrival of perhaps the deepest, richest story ever to appear on a hand-held video game system. The game requires players to fill up the Phantom Hourglass with sand and give themselves enough time to delve deeper and deeper into the ultimate dungeon. It has received critical praise both in the United States and in Japan, where it launched in late June. 
 
"The storyline for The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass represents a new pinnacle for hand-held video games," says George Harrison, Nintendo of America's senior vice president of marketing and corporate communications. "The touch-screen controls make it easy for newcomers but fresh and engaging for Zelda fans." 
 
Veteran gamers should be able to pick it up and start playing instantly. "The game is a pure testament to both the power and innovative aspects of DS, delivering an overall product that will blow gamers away visually, stylistically and cinematically," says Mark Bozon of IGN.com, who rated the game 9 out of 10, including a perfect 10 rating for its "stunning" graphics. A notoriously critical Japanese publication also gave The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass a near-perfect score: Four judges rated it a perfect 10, while one gave it a 9." You can read the rest of this from Nintendo's Press Room above. 
Nintendo has some Virtual Console news and here is some of it: "This is a special week on the Wii Shop Channel. Frankly, it's a gamer's dream come true: Nintendo is launching the new Import genre with the release of two games that previously have never been available in the Western Hemisphere on their original platforms. The first will be hugely popular with Mario™ fans, who will love reliving the style of his classic games as they encounter new skills, new levels and new dangers. Nintendo® 64 enthusiasts also get a masterpiece of the shooter genre and perhaps the best game never released outside of Japan. Welcome to Import Week for the Wii Shop Channel! 
 
The two new classic games go live at 9 a.m. Pacific time. Nintendo adds new games to the Wii Shop Channel every Monday. Wii™ owners with a high-speed Internet connection can redeem Wii Points™ to download the games. Wii Points can be purchased in the Wii Shop Channel or at retail outlets. This week's new games are: 
 
Super Mario Bros.™: The Lost Levels™ (NES®, 1 player, rated E for Everyone, 600 Wii Points): Originally released in Japan as Super Mario Bros.® 2, this game has previously made only brief cameo appearances in the Western Hemisphere. Now available on the Virtual Console™ in all of its original splendor, Mario fans will appreciate the familiar look and feel of the game, while finding that its updated game play creates an entirely new challenge. No longer content just to wear different-colored overalls, Mario and Luigi also possess different skill sets: Mario can stop quicker, while Luigi can jump higher. In addition to the classic enemies already known to fans worldwide, there are also Poison Mushrooms, backward Warp Zones, and the occasional wind gust (which can help or hinder your progress) to take into account. And if that's somehow not enough, expert players can go looking for the game's secret worlds. So get ready to put your Mario skills to the ultimate test, and save the Princess again. Just don't be surprised if she's in another castle." You can read the rest of this from Nintendo's Press Room above.
