The famous Spacemartian from Mars arrived today in New York only to find that no one remembers all that much about him, but what they do remember, he would have them forget!

Lose some weight, dummy!

As of March 5, 2007, Steve Singer will replace Juana Tingdale as Nintendo's new Vice President of Licensing. Tingdale worked for Nintendo for 22 years and is now retiring. The Licensing department is responsible for securing deals for new products, both software and accessories, for the Wii and DS. This is why every third party game has "Licensed by Nintendo" at the beginning.

Singer is the current VP and General Manager of Nintendo Latin America.

This could possibly affect what type of games Nintendo will be able to acquire in the future. Most games already announced for the Wii should stay with the console, but depending on how Singer runs the department, Nintendo could work to gain more exclusive deals with developers or to start relationships with developers of more adult games that are not traditionally found on Nintendo consoles.

The Gamecube had a reputation as a "kiddie console" and the Wii already seems to be working to get out from under this label with games like Red Steel and Far Cry Vengeance, as well as The Godfather: Blackhand Edition, which was recently announced for the console and has a release date of March 20, 2007.

Currently people everywhere are asking: “Is there a way to keep the blue light on?” While there is no official way to keep the blue-light on, there is a simple trick that you can use to keep your Wii shinin’ bright. You need to be connected to the internet for this trick to work.

If you do not have a confirmed email account to correspond with your Wii..

1. Open the Wii Message Board
2. Add a new contact with your personal email address
3. Fire off a message to the new contact
4. Reply to the email you receive from your Wii

The trick now is to NOT open the email on your Wii Message Board. Now, provided you don’t open the mail, the Blue Wii LED will stay lit! Enjoy BDC!

Personally I was very disappointed when I hooked up my Wii but with this simple trick it is as easy as sending a message and leaving it there forever.

The title pretty much sums it all up. This is hilarious, and it works fairly well, actually. I was suprised by how easily he did most of the movements for Warioware.
