Ubisoft announced it will publish Nitrobike, a motocross racing game exclusively for Wii. The game is being developed by Left Field Productions, the former Nintendo second-party studio behind the creation of Excitebike 64 and NBA Courtside. Players will use the Wii remote to guide rocket-propelled motorcycles across hilly terrain and huge jumps. Ubisoft said we can expect Nitrobike to speed into stores this holiday

Just spotted this on the RLLMUK forums.

As for Paper Mario, I can't believe I'm this close to spending 15 notes on a downloaded game. I want a box for over ten quid of spend!

?

1000 wii points are Â£7 if bought online and about Â£15 for a 2000 pt card in a shop.

It's been covered

Has anyone else read the article on Eurogamer about the Wii points being cancelled from Sunday if you don't agree to new T&Cs?

Apparently you need to log into nintendo website and agree to some new ones and then shortly you can redeem stars as wii points. Except this doesn't happen for me, I don't get anything about the new T&Cs. Though when I look at games registered my VC downloads are on there, as I've linked my wiiconenct account to my nintendo website profile. So I'm wondering if I'm already sorted? If I lose my points I shall be fucking livid, I've been collecting them for years. Oh, and they now expire after two years.

Not wii points. Stars. If your VC games are showing then you've logged in. I'm guessing you got the first email and accepted the terms then.

Yes, sorry, I'm not all here today.

/edit hopefully I'll be able to redeem a few stars and get Paper Mario. The Eurogamer website is down from here for some reason, and I only got a quick glance at the story.

Can anyone find details of this supposed browser update? I can't see owt on the shop yet...

/edit /edit according to this:

If you lnk your Wii to your stars account you've already got it sorted. Stars/Wii Points redemption soon. Though of course that is Nintendo soon, not actual soon.

Today I finally upgraded to the DS lite

All I can say is....fuck me these screens are lush

Why the hell did I wait so long

Governmentyard · Post by **Governmentyard** » Fri Jul 13, 2007 1:16 pm 0

Because the D-Pad is better on the normal DS?

Flabio · Post by **Flabio** » Fri Jul 13, 2007 1:23 pm 0

Cause you resented having to shell out another 90 quid on an upgrade of something you own that still works perfectly well? It's why I still have a DS phat...
