BINGO!

Thanks to a friend I found it.
Tis in the Temple of Time, 5th floor.

Bit dissapointed there wasnt a special message for getting them all, oh well.

Still, me a happy flame now

I didnt recognise the place at all, mentaly i was still thinking the time temple was mostly clean.

But ... this one goes up to 11.

The rather pish Mii Voting Channel is now live.

There are some very inventive Miis on there to be grabbed though.

That channel is fun, just had a few minutes on it. I like that I can now instead of manually sending those I think'd appreciate it my latest mii, I can just go 'look!' and if it is cool enough people will rate it. I like that we have to guess from initial the identity of miis as well - if your design isn't up to it, people won't recognise and won't rate.

Five minute bursts only though, I'd say.

I love the new parade

Great fun.

Incidently, is it me, or is there a lot of hitlers....

Mario 3 on VC now!!!!!!

Didn't stop to see what else

A 60Hz Super Mario Allstars (SNES) would be nice...I suppose we'll have to wait until the next Hanabi Festival though, eh?

Good find!

It seems Nintendo is dumping MP3 support on the photochannel and having AAC instead.

Anyone got a clue why they would want to remove MP3 support

Royalty issues?

Baggypants · Post by **Baggypants** » Tue Nov 13, 2007 4:01 pm 0

maybe going to have some future channel where smaller sound files will be useful?

edit: wikipedia suggest no licencing is required for streaming aac as opposed to mp3, but their would be one for distributing an en/decoder.

edit edit: My bet is crap tunes for star points, guaranteed. since Ninty havn't found a way of using wallpaper on the Wii yet.

bloody wallpaper.

I didnt think a lisence was required for just playing mp3s ?

I can see why they want a DRM tune-format in the long term, but removing mp3 just seems bezire.

If you're writing an app or building a bit of hardware that plays back mp3, you have to pay a licensing fee to use the decoder.

There's been some interesting law suits being brought by a company in the states that claims it should have a cut of this rather than it all going to where it goes now.

I think MS and Sony did what they normally do, settle quietly and forget about it. Nintendo may be taking a different stance.
