    It looks like Nintendo has left a glaring oversight in the rush to get the Wii U out before the holidays. The problem is one that wouldn’t surface until pre-owned Wii U consoles make their way into consumers hands and sitting at the near two-month mark, it’s about that time. According to a thread on NeoGAF, user DSN2K was able to re-download previous titles purchased by the previous owner of the console he purchased, despite the Wii U having been wiped clean. ...

    HBC release for a new Wii U

    Published on 12-07-2012 11:29 AM

    Another year, another console, another Hackmii Installer!


    Despite all of the anti-reverse-engineering tricks we put into our last installment of the HackMii Installer, Nintendo managed to find the IOS exploit we used to install The Homebrew Channel and fix it sometime within the last two years. There never was a Wii system update for this, the fixed IOS versions can only be found on a Wii U.

    They also blocked our old title ID. Consequently, we have a new release with a new version of The Homebrew Channel; this will install on both Wii consoles, and inside the virtual Wii sandbox inside the Wii U. The currently used IOS exploit is courtesy of tueidj.

    Please note that this is not running in full Wii U mode; running this on a Wii U will probably work just like on a Wii. (See if you can find any differences, we can all try to hack the Wii U together from inside Wii mode!)

    Also, due to technical limitations of the virtual Wii mode, BootMii will not work on a Wii U. If we are able to resolve this, we will make a new release with BootMii support.

    As usual, grab the new installer here.

    If you’re unsure what do to with the installer, see this wiki page for a general tutorial on how to setup homebrew on your Wii, and this one at the brand new wiiubrew.org for savegame exploits that still work on a Wii U.

    Nintendo Launching $99 Wii Mini ... in Canada

    Nintendo Launching $99 Wii Mini ... in Canada


    Full-sized electronics are so 2006. Nintendo today officially detailed the Wii mini, which will be released Dec. 7 for $99 - but only in Canada.
    The device first surfaced this morning on the Best Buy Canada website, and is being described as a gaming-only system without Internet connectivity.
    The red and black mini version of the popular gaming console is compatible with more than 1,300 Wii games, but does not play Nintendo GameCube games, the company said. Those who want to bulk up their Wii game library can grab Nintendo Selects games starting at $19.99. Popular titles like Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Donkey Kong Country Returns will retail for $29.99, while Mario Kart Wii and Wii Sports Resort will be $39.99. New Super Mario Bros. Wii will be $59.99, while a Wii Fit Plus and Wii Balance Board bundle will set you back $99.99.
    Nintendo is painting the Wii mini as a family-friendly device for first-time users who want to experience motion-controlled gaming.
    "There are games in the Wii library for every type of player," Ron Bertram, Nintendo of Canada's vice president, said in a statement. "Wii Mini is a great gift for the holidays that brings everyone in the family together to play."
    The mini console comes with a red Wii Remote Plus controller and red Nunchuk controller.
    Best Buy Canada said it will start taking pre-orders for the Wii Mini later today; the pre-order link currrently redirects customers to the main Nintendo Wii sales page.
    For now, Americans are stuck with the recently released Wii U, which reached initial sales of 400,000 in its first week on shelves. For more, see PCMag's review of the Nintendo Wii Uand the slideshow below.
