It has been over a month since the Nintendo Wii launched in North America and it has proven that Nintendo is going to play a big part in this console war. Nintendo released three titles at launch. Wii Sports, which was packaged with the system, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and Excite Truck. Excite Truck is Nintendo’s newest racing game, but is it any good?

300 is the film adaption of Frank Miller’s graphic novel of the same name. I have not read the book, but the trailer for the movie is amazing.

According to the official Wii website, the Wii Internet Channel by Opera will be available for download on your Wii this Friday. The Browser is just a trial however, and is rumored not to be anywhere close to the full, final product which has been slated for a March 2007 release. But remember, this is just a rumor. Either way, I cannot wait to try out the Wii Internet Browser on Friday!
Opera also made a cool comic celebrating the browsers “release”. Click here to check it out.

Nintendo needs to release some more N64 games soon. Super Mario 64 is getting pretty lonely. Do you plan on buying any of these? Are there some classic games you would like to see in the Wii Shopping Channel? Leave a comment.

I found an interesting article today about a group of isolated lions that have become larger and more powerful than other lions in order to hunt their only source of food, Buffalo. The lions were stranded, along with a herd of buffalo, on a small island in the Okavango Delta 15 years ago when the river changed course. The lions have since become larger and stronger in order to hunt their new, more powerful prey. The lions have also learned to swim in order to ambush their new prey. To counteract the lions, the buffalo have formed one superherd on the island, and sometimes will attack the lions in order to rescue one of their own.
Check out the full article here.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is an amazing game with a beautiful and expansive Hyrule to explore and dozens of lively characters to meet. Alot of those characters are a little… weird. I’ve stumbled upon a list of the ten goofiest characters from Twilight Princess. Click the link below to check out the list. There are some minor spoilers though.
