Virtually Overlooked: Prince of Persia
(via Nintendo Wii Fanboy) - Filed under: Virtually OverlookedIt's actually kind of insulting that we don't have a version of the classic Prince of Persia on the Wii. Ubisoft, who currently holds the rights to the series, went so far as to (hire Gameloft to) produce a high-definition 3D remake of the game for Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network, and we have nothing.

Tenchu 4: Surprise boxart attack
(via Nintendo Wii Fanboy) - Filed under: NewsWe don't know how long this preview boxart image for Tenchu 4 has been on Ubisoft's site. We suspect it hasn't been very long, because the name change (to Tenchu: Shadow Assassins) is a very recent development, showing up just last week on GameStop.com. The image is regrettably tiny, but detailed enough for us to see what's going on -- and what's going on is that Rikimaru is cutting the head off of whoever picks the game up off the shelf.

Man conducts symphony with Balance Board and Wiimote
(via Nintendo Wii Fanboy) - Filed under: Fan stuff, Peripherals, Tech stuff, Controller, VideoPaul Henry Smith is one smart dude. He has created the Fauxharmonic Orchestra, a simulation of a real orchestra, brought to you by the Wiimote, Balance Board, and his brain. We're not classical buffs by any means, but what we're hearing (and seeing) is pretty impressive.

THQ and Activision kiss and make up
(via Nintendo Wii Fanboy) - Filed under: News Well, not literally, but it would seem that THQ has thrown out its lawsuit against Activision over the boxart for Baja 1000: Score International. Activision has altered the boxart for their game (catch the image past the break), but, seeing as how the game has been available for a short while now, what of the copies that have already reached store shelves? THQ isn't too concerned about that, apparently.

Some guy put a Nintendo 64 in his Wii
(via Nintendo Wii Fanboy) - Filed under: Fan stuff, Mods Why? NOBODY KNOWS. Maybe he desperately misses the days of blowing in slots. Whatever reasons he had, this is now up on eBay, with bidding starting at $49.99. The auction notes that the mod is "100% working!" (uh ... good?) and that the Wii's blue lights still illuminate when it's switched on, which we have to admit is kind of neat.

A cheap way to get into multiplayer Guitar Heroics
(via Nintendo Wii Fanboy) - Filed under: News Amazon is continuing their apparent campaign to get rid of overstocked Nyko Frontman guitars with a new sale in their "Countdown to Black Friday." The savings are ridiculous. If you don't have a Wii Guitar Hero game and don't mind forgoing the World Tour full band experience (or putting it off while building up a collection of guitars), you could do a lot worse.
