Nintendo Chief real life Bo Selecta?

Big Face Reggie

Above, Nintendo US President and CEO Reggie Fils-Aime. Is it possible that Reggie is in fact a real life Bo Selecta? That Bo Selecta creator Leigh Francis has an incognito day job running Nintendo in the United States?

If you are unfamiliar with the work of Leigh Francis and Bo Selecta, here is a nice clip of their rendition of LOTR, replete with Reggie like facial effects.

And here is the Bo Selecta Craig David for comparison with Reggie above.

Wii: Resident Evil 4 trailer

It’s all movies and Wii trailers round here lately. Todays offering being Capcoms trailer for Resident Evil 4 | Wii Edition (Biohazard in Japan). Link at the bottom there as when I embedded it here in the page it just played over and over, so hopefully that link will open a new window for you to play the trailer as big as you like :)

I never played the original on the Gamecube, but according to all gaming types, it was the best in the series, so I am looking forward to getting hold of this later this year.

What a bint though in the trailer, I have never met a lady who would bring me nice coffee whilst I shot zombies, then sit next to me in awe “Wow!” “Oooh what’s that”, that’s a load of bollox that’s what it is love. Silly cow, fancy coming round disturbing the gaming then getting caught by zombies meaning that handsome young fella has to get up and shoot them, I hope he got a reach round for his efforts.

If you can read the japanese (which at least one of you can), more details on the official site

BIG TRAILER – New Window

Nintendo release full Wii browser

The blue light shining out of the Nintendo Wii disc slot can only mean one thing, new stuff from Nintendo. Today sees the release of the full Opera internet browser (previously we been using a beta version). I could wibble on about it, but here is a video to explain it better than I ever will.

I found this video btw on youtube whilst browsing about using the Wii browser. Suprisingly easy to use actually, great for watching game reviews and other doings.

As I play the Wii on an Apple iMac using an Elgato EyeTV Hybrid, I have no real need for a web browser on the Wii when I can just minimize the Wii window and use Firefox to much better effect, it is none the less well implemented, and is running youtube videos happily in the background at the moment while I throw this stuff up from the iBook.

Opera browser for Wii is free through the Wii Shopping channel until June, at which point it will cost 500 Wii points (about a fiver?).
