Let’s say you’re relaxing at home, but something doesn’t seem quite right. Maybe your house has ghosts. Clearly you need to get GhostSlayer, with its Wii MotionPlus accessory functionality, to figure out how to deal with them. Or maybe your house has a mouse. Mouse House puzzles seem the logical choice for you. Maybe you just need to get out of the house and try some fresh air with Family Go-Kart Racing. If it seems a bit brighter than usual outdoors, that’s probably because Aura-Aura, the star of Aura-Aura Climber, has fallen out of the sky. While you’re out having fun, take and share some crazy pictures of your friends and family with Faceez, or spend a few relaxing hours directing flights with Flight Control. And while you’re out there, you might want to spend some time helping a little boy recover his lost pet goldfish, Flipper.

It seems that no “Modern Warfare” is safe from hackers. What is next, the DS version?

If you are currently play (or attempting to play) Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 systems, I am sure you are aware of the constant hacks and glitches that plague the game online. It seems that the Nintendo Wii version is the latest “Modern Warfare” game to be hacked to all hell.

Check out the youtube video below. I am not sure how the hack is done. This could be done through the Homebrew Channel that Nintendo has been unsuccessful to put the lid on. If you played games like “The Conduit” online you will not be surprised by this hack. The Conduit was another game that was ruined by hackers.

Basically this hack gives your weapons the ability to fire missiles at your enemies.

In honor of Presidents Day, let’s take a moment to reflect on the qualities that make a great leader, plus some exceptional games you can use to nurture them. Problem-solving skills are a must, both in the Oval Office and in the new Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: JUSTICE FOR ALL game for the WiiWare service. A way with words is essential, too, as you’ll discover in Scrabble Classic for the Nintendo DSiWare service. Real Soccer 2010 proves the value of teamwork, while Spotto! highlights the importance of facing fearsome threats head-on. And while we’re not sure how effective a hedgehog would be as commander-in-chief, the SEGA classic Sonic & Knuckles – now available to Wii owners via the Virtual Console – demonstrates real bipartisan appeal.

Like the classic card game upon which it’s based, the new UNO game for the WiiWare service is all about inclusive, social fun that anybody can pick up and enjoy. Other fresh WiiWare fare includes the inventive puzzle title bittos+ and the hidden-object game “Aha! I Found It!” The Nintendo DSiWare service welcomes a trio of diverting hand-held delights this week: the strategy-based NUMBER BATTLE, the arcade-style AiRace: Tunnel and the action-packed Escapee GO! Last but not least, Virtual Console fans should prepare to vanquish spooky specters with the arrival of a true Super NES classic, Ghoul Patrol.

There’s a lot to say about this week’s downloadable games. You can check out the brain-training power of The Amazing Brain Train! or the cute puppies of Me And My Dogs: Friends Forever. Fans of more traditional games can protect their space fleet from waves of enemies in STARSHIP DEFENSE or explore the dual temporal world of Chronos Twins. Retro gamers will certainly like the ninja stylings of Shadow Dancer: The Secret of Shinobi on the Virtual Console service or the chance to try out the Nintendo DSiWare title Dark Void Zero, a mythical long-lost game from Capcom’s vaults.

And then there’s Muscle March.

A bunch of bodybuilders (and a polar bear) clad in bikini briefs chase after protein-powder thieves who can bash through walls at will. Strike your best bodybuilder poses to catch the thief and make the protein powder yours again. This surreal experience is best shared among friends, so start flexing!

Get ready to experience your favourite Nintendo DS games like never before – on the big screens and via the wider viewing angle of the Nintendo DSi XL, launching across Europe on 5th March 2010.

Two 4.2 inch screens, which are 93% bigger than the screen on the Nintendo DS Lite, really bring the adventure and action to life. Experience the legendary side scrolling world of New Super Mario Bros or the twists and turns of the Mario Kart circuit in a whole new way. The larger pen-like stylus also makes extended stylus gameplay more comfortable to allow better control; making directing Link around the dungeons of The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks, for example, far more natural to play.

Nintendo of America Inc. and Netflix, Inc. today announced an agreement that will allow Netflix members who are also owners of Nintendo’s Wii home console to instantly watch thousands of movies and TV episodes streamed from Netflix directly to their TVs. Netflix is scheduled to go live on the Wii console this spring in the United States at no additional cost to Netflix members who have a plan starting at $8.99 a month, a Wii console and a broadband Internet connection.

The partnership between the two companies will extend the reach of content streamed from Netflix farther than ever before, thanks to the mainstream popularity of the Wii console. Wii remains the fastest-selling home console in history, and reaches more consumers than any other device that currently supports streaming movies from Netflix. In December 2009, Nintendo sold well in excess of 3 million Wii consoles in the United States. Wii is the top-selling home video game system of this generation, and as such brings the Netflix experience to a broad and diverse mass market.
