When you want to show off some nifty things you can do with a Wii that don’t involve motion sensitivity, you could always mellow out with some streaming music via MP3tunes.
“The Wii is the latest popular gaming device that, with MP3tunes’ technology, actually becomes a home stereo system,” explains Michael Robertson, CEO of the new company.
“Consumers shouldn’t be limited in where or how they enjoy their personal music collections, and we will continue to announce new ways the product is fulfilling its vision of giving people access to all of their audio media, anywhere they go.”
The locker storage is free, but you do have to have the Internet channel installed on your Wii. But on December 29, 2007, who doesn’t have their console connected to the internet already?

Would you like to play a game of chess on Wii?
New details have emerged about the new Wii Chess title, and it’s not going to be as drab as it may have originally appeared.
According to CVG, it’s going to be a budget title (30 Euros - or about 20 quid…feel free to convert to your currency of choice) and will fully support matches over the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Local multiplayer options will also be in full effect.
There title also promises various visual styles that can be flipped around, which CVG claims ”means Nintendo nostalgia is almost guaranteed.” The game is set for release on January 18th. And trust us, it’s still guaranteed to be ten times better than Tamagotchi: Party On!

Wii is getting scarcer by the day and Christmas is less than three weeks away. But if online searches are any indication, then people are still searching for Nintendo’s console at a furious rate.
“The Wii was the most searched for product by UK Internet shoppers during November. There were thirteen times as many UK Internet searches for the console sending traffic to the Hitwise Shopping and Classifieds category as there were for Apple iPod, and over twice as many searches for Wii as for both iPod and iPhone,” reports Hitwise.
“Despite shortages of the popular console in the UK, the volume of searches for NIntendo Wii has increased 158% since November 2006, while searches for Wii have increased by 278%.” explained Robin Goad, Director of Research at the website.
According to analysts, it will still be several months until supply catches up with demand.
