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.

Website Amazon UK has revealed the novels that will be appearing in the upcoming Nintendo DS title, 100 Classic Book Collection.
It has also been announced that more novels will be made available to download from the Nintendo Wi-Fi service.

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.
In what seems to be a huge mistake or an oversight on behalf either Nintendo Europe or Australia, it seems that if you bought an Aussie copy of Animal Crossing: Let’s Go to the City and you have an Aussie version of Animal Crossing: Wild World, if you want to import your character, you’re flat out of luck. It seems getting Wild World for Xmas 2005 has come back to bite us on the bum, as Nintendo has in fact given us the US version of Wild World. And guess what – Let’s Go to the City doesn’t speak American.
