Finding shortcuts in Wii Mario Kart is always fun. Just found this on youtube.com. Pretty cool short cut. I have not had time to perfect it myself, so if anyone gets a chance update us on how you do it.
It looks like he goes through a bridge to get to the wall.
A hacked Nintendo Wii Balance Board (from the game Wii Fit) used to control Google Earth.
Using the Google Earth application programming interface (API), a Google engineer was able to get the Balance Board to talk to the program after decoding the Bluetooth packets being sent from the board (that�s how the device wirelessly interacts with a machine like the Nintendo Wii). The result (which you can see in the video below) allows users to move forward by leaning forward, move backwards by leaning back, etc.
The developer says he made this neat little demo to inspire others to code their own programs using these open source methods. Hopefully, someone comes up with a hack to make it so I can use my Wiimote to control my Apple TV, so I can stop using that damn directional pad.
What to check out how Mario, Donkey Kong & Link looked back in the 8 bit days compared to their current Wii look?

This post is just here to let everyone know that WiiRant is now under new ownership.
My name is Phil and I have a great passion for everything related to Nintendo. I am hoping to take over where Mike left off (thanks for all your hard work Mike), and include the latest Wii News and add some more game reviews over the coming months.
With Christmas just around the corner, which Wii game are you hoping to find in your stocking?
Riding hot on the heels of 2K Sports’ MLB Power Pros 2008 comes Mario Super Sluggers, Nintendo’s own unique shot at representing my favourite sport: baseball.
Before you get too excited though, don’t be fooled into thinking that this game is anything other than a typically light Nintendo title. You won’t find a Major League Baseball or an MLB Players’ Association endorsement emblazoned on the box. In fact, the only players you’ll find modeled on this Wii production come directly from Nintendo’s extensive bullpen of MVPs. (more…)
We all knew that when Nintendo were about to release their Wii Fit we might have to queue up for a while to get your hands on one. However; we did not realize how popular it would actually be.
Since its launch the balance board has been out of stock more than in stock, and many thought that it was a marketing ploy just to make the Wii Fit more popular than it actually was. If that was their plan, then it worked perfectly. (more…)
This is Ford Racing Off Road on the Nintendo Wii, if you love racing games but also want to get more involved physically during gameplay, then you cannot beat the Wii. (more…)
On the Japanese Wii Music website, Nintendo has begun a series of videos called “Today’s Musical Instrument,” which depicts an instrument both in its for-real form and as it will appear in Wii Music. (more…)
The Nintendo Wii is unlike any other gaming console ever used before. It is small and powerful and is even helping people to lose weight and get fit by getting them out of their seats to play.
So far, the games for Nintendo Wii have made great use of the unique motion-sensitive controllers. Games for Nintendo Wii like Wii Sports, which incorporates the controller in such an active way that it is easy to just pick up and play, even for people who have never played a console game before.
In Wii Sports, the controllers act as a tennis racket, a golf club, a bowling ball launcher, and even boxing gloves! These games are great fun for people of all ages and even allows some to increase their level of fitness.
This guy must love his job as you can tell by the expression on his face, love the old guy at the end “What you say?” lol… awesome. There has been lots of Will It Blend commercials on YouTube and when I was searching for cool Wii stuff I came across this. (more…)
