Wii owners listen up! Your Wii Remotes are about to get just a bit safer. Nintendo has decided to include a Wii Remote Jacket for the Wii remotes shipped with the new consoles. For those of you who purchased a Wii prior to the change, Nintendo will send you jackets for your existing remotes.

The original Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) was a monster with its 2KB of RAM, and it rocked out with a 256x240 resolution. It's hard to believe that such a good system was ever taken off of store shelves, but I guess that's the lifecycle of technology.

It’s been about a week and a half since we became the proud owners of a Nintendo Wii. There was a lot that factored into the decision of us purchasing a Wii, and before you go thinking that we are Nintendo fanboys I’ll let you know that we own the original Playstation and the original Xbox.

Any guesses what the best global brand is for 2007? I’ll tell you this much, it’s not Google, but the good news for them is that their brand value has improved quite a bit over the last year.

Late last week there was a lot of chatter going on that Sony was going to be dropping the Playstation 3 price. A Circuit City add for the week of July 15th displaying the PS3 at a decently reduced price gave further indication that it was coming, but Sony never confirmed it, and in fact they denied it.

I think most everybody will agree that Opera for Nintendo Wii has been quite the success. Ever since it was released into beta in December, it’s been available to users for free.

Calling all Fishing Fans! Now there’s no need to polish up your fishing pole, get out a fancy lure, or go out and buy a new reel and rod to prepare for a weekend fishing trip. Instead, just purchase the pre-release for Hooked (ships in September), a fishing game for the Wii which EBGames is selling with a “free fishing” controller.

Getting your hands on a Nintendo Wii is still no simple task. However, now there’s a way (while it lasts) to not only get a Wii, but get one for $50 through an offer over at Gamefly (video game rental service).

There is a new Google Reader available for Wii users that will make reading your news even easier. To access the Wii version just go to http://www.google.com/reader/wii and you’ll see something similar to the screenshot above.

As you can imagine, Nintendo is doing pretty good for themselves after the huge success of the Wii. There’s no doubt that their future continues to look bright as the Wii is still hard to find, and the demand is definitely going strong.
