US Wii - first minor locality quibble
As expected with imported consoles, there are bound to be a few slight issues. The Wii has gotten off lightly, as us UK owners of US machines can download cheap virtual console games, all of them in 60hz, from the US SNES, Turbografx 16, NES and Sega Genesis ... sorry, Mega Drive (wink) catalogues.
What's wrong with this picture, you ask? Nothing actually, apart from the fact that I live in Glasgow, Scotland. Yep, today the Wii's weather channel launched, and it seems that the price for getting nice cheap games with better release dates and guaranteed 60hz video, is that we're denied local weather information and instead have to settle for seeing whether it's raining or not in New York or Rio De Janeiro instead. (Hey, it said, "Pick the region closest to where you live!)
Oh, and sorry for the lack of updates recently. Things have been a little hectic in the run up to Christmas. You can expect a very, very special and exclusive update tomorrow night/early Friday, however! Wink wink!
