If you are like me you know there has been quite a battle brewing over Wii homebrew.

It seems that some games have holes in them which allow Wii owners to exploit the hole to run homebrew. It all starts with the now famous "Twilight Hack" which was blocked but Nintendo only to have a new and improved version released days after the Nintendo patch.

All you need is an SD card and of course the game "The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess" (which you can find in our store).

WiiHD has all this information freely available online plus loads more. Why not go check em out?

Nintendo has revealed that there are currently about 100 WiiWare titles in various stages of development.

From an interview posted on IGN:

"Our plan is to make new WiiWare games available on Mondays, as we do with Virtual Console titles."

And:

"Developers have the ability to utilize the same Wii features for WiiWare games as they do for disc-based games, including Wi-Fi Connection, WiiConnect24 and variety of controllers and peripherals. What is important is providing developers the freedom to use the features that are most valuable to express the characteristics of their game. Regarding the use of Miis, Mii characters are included in games like TV Show King and Dr. Mario Rx. "

The idea is to give developers as much freedom as possible to develop new WiiWare games in various sizes and obviously worth various point values.

Currently there are 24 WiiWare games on the Nintendo site.

Some students figured out a way to use the Wii balance board to navigate Google Earth.

It looks pretty cool, and while more work may be needed, if you happen to have a setup like they do, it might be fun to try.

Not too shabby and I'm sure one of the first of many balance board hacks.  WoW anyone?
