10... er... I mean 9 days... sorta

Ok, A bit of a mix up here, it's 1:00am and I have only got my internet connection back after it being randomly disconnected from me by my ISP, f-ing idiots... So yeah, no Internat access in my home for about 12+ hours.

Moving on...

Hmm... quite a lot of stuff to talk about. First thing first... The US have been receiving their copies of Wii Sports in Cardboard sleeves, however IGN Australia have shown off the retail PAL Wii's will have Wii Sports in a Plastic DVD box.

So yeah. We're getting a proper plastic box for our Wii Sports.

Going on the second thing, people have been trying to work out how the sensor bar works, and came to a conclusion that it emits 2 intrared beams that the IR camera on the top of the Remote picks up, and doing this, understands where it's positioned in space to the screen. And because of this people have been experimenting with IR sources such as TV remotes and sercurity beams. But here's something interesting though, Candles... of course they emit every colour in the spectrum as the flame is white, but what's interesting is that the candle is emitting InfraRed, and what suprizing is how accurte it is when a candle would shine IR in all directions rather then towards you. Anyways, to stop boring you you can watch this video, and kids... seriously, don't put candles or any flame THAT close to the TV!

And here's a crappy diagram I've made to demonstrate how the Sensor bar works.

So yeah, anyways I saw the first (or at least one of the first) Wii adverts on TV over here in the UK, it was Advertising Zelda Twilight Princess showing off how you fish and then how to sword swing. Pretty much it like those videos that Nintendo have shown before where you see someone play the game from the perpective of the screen, and it then switches back to gameplay.

And guess what I found them on Youtube!





EDIT: Oh BTW, Star Soldier, Ecco the Dolphin and Golden Axe have been added to the Virtual Console.
