There hasn't been a whole lot of Nintendo news to report lately, though I should be posting my hands-off review of The World Ends With You fairly soon, so posts have been slow in coming for the past few days. I haven't been able to yet do enough blog and forum browsing to yet gauge the outrage at Nintendo's cancellation of the Twilight Hack with their latest firmware update, but everything I have read seems to be remarkably toned down. True outrage seems to be few and far between as the majority of the community has accepted that it's the pirates that brought this on themselves. There were alot of good uses for the Homebrew Channel, but playing burned games was not one of them. This is why Nintendo doesn't want to launch a HDD. Poo.
Over at Nintendo Wii Fanboy (a fine blog I recommend only slightly less highly than this one) they've inherited a bunch of promo materials for the Conduit, so that's totally worth checking out. The whole game seems to be using the ol' "use everything cool and sci-fi from everywhere" line of thinking, but it looks to be shaping up well. Here's to hoping that they get a publisher willing to provide the marketing budget the game deserves.
In unrelated news, I scored a Viewsonic UltraBrite A90f+ CRT monitor for $10 at Goodwill, and the thing looks glorious. It's huge, but it does good justice to my Wii games using the Gamebridge. Hells yes.
