A new horoscope channel for the Nintendo Wii has been released in Japan. Unfortunately, Europe has missed out on the new channel meaning Australia is also unlikely to receive it.
When questioned about the possibility of the horoscope channel being launched outside of Japan, a Nintendo spokesperson said, “There are no current plans to bring this to Europe.”
The official title of the horoscope channel is Today and Tomorrow’s Lucky Fortune Telling Channel. The channel will collect Mii data and inform players about how their day will turn out.

It is rumoured Nintendo is planning to upgrade the motion sensor in the Wii Remote.
If this upgrade was to go ahead, Nintendo would be replacing the old motion sensor with newer and faster motion sensor technology.
The company Kionix would be providing the new motion sensor if the upgrade eventuates.
This possible Wii Remote upgrade raises many questions about the compatibility of older remotes with newer games.
This week the Wii Shop Channel has received four WiiWare titles.
First up is a title called Art Style: ROTOHEX, a remake of the game Dialhex which is available for 600 Wii Points.
The second WiiWare title to be released this week is Bang!. Bang! utilises the Wii’s motion sensor capabilities, and is also available for 600 Wii Points.
Next up is Pit Crew Panic!, a title by Hudson Soft which involves players moving six pit crew girls around with the Wii Remote in order to repair broken vehicle parts. The game features a training mode and also allows players to customise game settings. Pit Crew Panic! is available for 500 Wii Points.
Last, but not least, is Strong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People – Episode 4: Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective. The game, based on the popular flash animated web cartoon, takes place within a video cassette of the fictional movie: Dangeresque 3. The title is available for 1000 Wii Points.
Nintendo Australia has updated their website today, but unfortunately Club Nintendo is still nowhere to be seen.
The website updates include a new interface, a Touch! Generations section, an enhanced search engine and seven new competitions including the chance to win Disaster: Day of Crisis and Guitar Hero: World Tour.
Hopefully the Nintendo Australia website update is a sign that Club Nintendo is on its way.

Michael Duncan, a senior lecturer in exercise physiology at the University of Derby, has received £5,000 to study the Nintendo Wii’s health benefits.
Duncan will work with school children for six weeks in order to see if the Nintendo Wii game console can improve fitness and fight obesity.
Half the children in the study will play Wii Sports during their lunch break, whilst the remainders take part in regular lunch break activities.
Pupils during the study will carry an accelerometer that measures energy based on movement. Duncan hopes the research will determine if computer games can benefit children.

Three NES titles have been released on the Virtual Console today. They are Castlevania 3, Devil World and Ghosts ‘N Goblins.
All three titles are available to download from the Wii Shop Channel for 500 points each.
GAF poster MiketheBSG has had more than $26,000 of electronic items stolen from his home. Nintendo has assisted the man by restoring 228 Virtual Console and 30 WiiWare games to his new Wii.
MiketheBSG said, “By the way, Nintendo, if you don’t know yet, has the greatest customer service ever.”
Nintendo’s support in this situation has proven once again that their customer service is top quality.
Firmware update 3.3 has been released for the Nintendo Wii today. The update has changed the name of Wii Points to Nintendo Points in the Wii Shop Channel. This change has occurred because the Nintendo DSi and its download service will be released next month in Japan.
Those with Freeloaders can expect to be blocked out if they upgrade to the latest firmware, so it is advised to hold off until a patch is released.
Those looking to distinguish their Wii Remote from the rest, can now purchase the new coloured wrist straps that have just been released in Australian stores. The coloured wrist straps are the latest clip design and come in packs of four for the price of $9.95. The colours of the wrist straps in each pack are green, blue, pink and white.
