Well to put it lightly Sony Australia’s General Manager, Nic Foster thinks the Wii is a more fun system. But then goes on to say that the PS3 has more fetures than the Wii, and I guess implying that gamers want the other stuff than a fun system. Take it how you want but I realy think that Sony reps love the Wii. Check out the article here.

This is a clip from a Magazine called GamesTM:
“Something big is coming to the Virtual Console, something that, for the past decade, certain corners of the retro community have been crying out for. I wish I could say more, but the uncertainties of publishing schedules prevents me from spilling the beans too early. Nevertheless, if what we’ve heard turns out to be true, the virtual console is about to become a lot more interesting and looks like it might turn out to be much more valuable to dedicated retro gamers than we first thought.”
Hmmm. I wonder… I hope its a Game Boy or Dreamcast on the VC. That would rock!!!

Four new games popped up on VC when I checked a few hours ago.
Here are the games:
Ristar
Columns
Victory Run
Donkey Kong Jr.
The Virtual Console is looking really good so far! Although I want my Super Mario Bros. and Excite Bike!

Enthüllt: Wii-Demos als Download
Wii-Besitzer mit Internet-Anschluss werden sich Demoversionen von Wii-Spielen herunterladen können.
Die Vermutung gab es schon länger, jetzt ist es offiziell: Neben Virtual-Console-Spielen werden Wii-Fans mit Internetzugang auch Demoversionen von Wii-Titeln herunterladen können. Die Demos kann man dann entweder im 512 MB großen Flashspeicher der Konsole oder auf einer separat erhältlichen SD-Karte speichern. Welche Demos den Anfang machen, will Nintendo in Kürze bekannt geben.

Revealed: Wii demo as Download Wii owners with Internet connection will be able themselves to download demo versions of Wii plays. The assumption gave it already longer, now is official it: Apart from Virtual CONSOLE plays Wii fans with Internet entrance will be able to download also demo versions of Wii titles. One can store the demos then either in 512 MT the large Flashram of the console or on a separately available SD-map. Which demos make the beginning, Nintendo wants shortly admits to give.
This would be great, Downloadable demos would give people a great way to test out games before they buy them instead of renting.

Here are a few Wii Sports secrets:
Pitch Underhand:
While pitching, press 2 before throwing. To return to normal pitching press 1
91 Pin Strike in Power Bowling Training:
To get an automatic 91 pin strike in the last round of Power Bowling, Throw the ball on the right or left rail (depending on if you are right or left handed) so that it stays on it the whole time. If it reaches the end without falling off, you will hear a “click” and an explosion. Then all the pins will fall down from the shockwave. NOTE: This only works on the last round.
Getting pro in either tennis or boxing:
If you get pro, which is over 1000 points, then in either sport, the reward is a bigger audience, and all of your Miis that aren’t being played get put into the audience. If you make a bunch of random Miis, they will all be there.
Play Golf without maps or meters:
To disable the power meter, map, and the wind speed indicator, press and hold (2), then make a selection at the “Select a Course” screen.
Change the tennis court:
To change the tennis court to the blue practice court, press and hold (2) at the warning screen that shows after selecting characters.
Change bowling ball color:
As The screen is fading to black for bowling, hold down the control pad until it fades to bowling for these colors:
Code Effect
Control Pad Up Blue Ball
Control Pad Right Gold Ball
Control Pad Down Green Ball
Control Pad Left Red Ball
