Looks like the Wii will have more than Zelda Skyward Sword and more Japanese titles released in 2011.

Nintendo has set up a teaser site for a new original IP on the Wii for 2011 currently titled “Pandora’s Tower”(link here) Good to see that Nintendo still seems to be supporting the Wii through 2011, now if they could just localize some more of those Japan only games.

Netflix To Stop Disc Streaming For The Wii

As most Wii owners know, Netflix has been available for the system for a while now and has a dedicated channel for it as well. Recently, Netflix has announced that the disc streaming option they currently have for the Wii will be discontinued on January 31, 2011. The Wii will still be able to stream movies from Netflix, but must now use the dedicated app called Netflix Channel. Have fun watching all those movies and TV shows on your Wii!

Why The Last Story may not be localized

Last Story may not be localized, and if it is it likely won’t be for awhile as Nintendo’s teams are busy with many other projects at the time and the large amount of story and text would take time to edit, translate and or subtitle and or dub into other languages for localization. As a heads up to them from me, do they realize that many gamers these days are fine with the Japanese audio with English subtitles, most who would want this game over here would actually rather they keep the game with Japanese audio, i.e. importers/purists. In other words  the people who would want this game anyways.

Next week, the last of the Rock Band Network indie packs will cease to be provided for any Wii owners that own Rock Band. It is due to the small install base that this game has so it is not as profitable for them to upkeep the servers.
