Super Smash Bros. Brawl! European Release Tomorrow!

In the goatshed, we’ve been waiting for a couple of years for Super Smash Bros. Brawl on the Wii. The goatherd are very Nintendo orientated - but Super Smash Bros has always provided first class gameplay. Firstly on the N64 and then on the GameCube -now we can play on the Wii. Finally, possibly the best Smash Brothers release to date is going to be released!

All the years of built up aggression can be released -it’s here. I hope all my fellow Europeans have their pre-orders, because early indications point to mass sell out tomorrow.

While your waiting for midnight, feel free to drool over my son’s Limited Edition Super Smash Bros Brawl Collectors Edition.

 

Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector XP/Vista Driver Version 1.06 (10/22/07)

Finally I can dispose of my Windows XP partition.

Recently, I decided to try one of the many work arounds to try and get our Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector working in Vista. I’d tried before, but had very little success to say the least.

As a last resort, I visited the Nintendo download section. I say visited, what I really mean is trawled through millions of pages trying to find the actual download page. I am quite amazed that Google didn’t find it with terms such as “WiFi Vista Nintendo” and “Nintendo WiFi Driver”. Anyway I eventually found the page I was looking for….. and it had been updated!

Wow. Nintendo have finally updated the software to work on Windows Vista. I knew the software wasn’t going to be too great, but I had nothing to lose so gave it a shot. I have to say -it works much better now.

This version features the following upgrades/corrections from version 1.05:

• Reduction of CPU load when the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector is not connected.
• Changes to certain registration tool message displays.
• Added Windows Vista compatibility.
• Change to specification that requires the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector to be attached when uninstalling.
