The upcoming console, tentatively referred to as the "Wii HD," is said to be based on entirely new hardware that will pump out HD visuals, contain expanded storage and run using digitally distributed content rather than physical discs, which is something widely rumored for all of the next-gen consoles. It's said to be on the slate for 2011, which sounds about right to us. But hey, let's not get too excited: the Wii still has some shelf life to it yet.

Wii pedometer on its way
Engadget is getting itself in a froth about a piece of equipment which has been found on a European trademark registry site, and is putting two and two together and coming up with five, claiming that it’s a Nintendo pedometer. With little supplemental information about the peripheral it’s hard to say that it’s definitely what it looks (a bit) like, though there’s no noticeable Wii branding, and I’m not convinced it’s necessarily the next evolutionary step for Wii Fit - or indeed related to a brand new game. Besides, we’ve already got Wii Jog on the way.

Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility, Farm, Animals & Kids
Life is simple. You maintain a farm, feed some animals, grow some veggies, partcipate in festivals and get married to raise kids. If you look forward to this kind of life, you should try out the new Wii game, Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility, to have a taste of farm life.
Harvest Moon is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year with this Wii installment. This Wii farm simulation game hasn’t changed much (you start out as a boy or girl) but you can use your Wii Remote to feel like you are really farming (motion control). Don’t worry, pushing buttons will also do the trick in case you get worn out.
A thing to note is that there’s no online support for this Wii Harvest Moon. However, do expect a greater variety of crops, animals, events and mini-games which are 4-player accessible in
de Blob
Only de Blob can flip, bounce and paint his way past the all-powerful I.N.K.T. Corporation to launch a color revolution and save Chroma City from a future without color.

Avoid hot plates, electric shocks and inky turrets to create your own path to the impenetrable I.N.K.T. Fortress. Just remember that the struggle to reclaim Chroma City is to be fought on your terms. Remix the city in your own image using custom paints, patterns and soundtracks. Super-size your blob to attack larger and stronger enemies. Join the Color Revolutionaries to refine your skills while making a mess. The race to rescue Chroma City has just begun, and only de Blob can save the world from a black-and-white future.
