Rock Band finally releasing to Oz on Nov. 7

Well, Australian readers, if you've been waiting on something pertaining to the first Rock Band game, then today brings good news. You all are finally getting Rock Band ... on November 7th (rumors originally stated the game would release in October). Ridiculous, right? Hey, we're right there with you, pal.

The game will release separately from the peripherals, just as it did in the UK. Unlike the UK, however, Aussies won't have to pay as much. The whole bundle, all said and done, will only set you back $250 AUD ($208). That's a lot of money for a year-old game, if we may say so. Especially one that already has its sequel sitting on store shelves.

Nintendo of Australia makes one little girl's Christmas extra-special

Everyone likes an uplifting story during the holidays, don't they? Heck, we like to read or hear about them any chance we get. And this story is no different, as one little girl in Australia suffering from arthrogryposis, a degenerative muscle disease, recently got a wonderful gift from Nintendo.

After trying a family friend's console and having a great time, that same wonderful friend wrote to Nintendo directly and got little Taylor a console sent to her, free of charge. As you might imagine, she was absolutely thrilled to receive something that can keep her active without pushing her so hard, but also something that brings a smile to her face and is quite fun. Merry Christmas, little Taylor!

Oz gets Zack & Wiki in February, Wii Fanboy suggests everyone buy it

Gamers down under are getting a treat come February 21st when Capcom's stellar title Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure hits retail shelves. Australia, we have one thing to ask you: will you please buy this game? Seriously, you need it.

When we reviewed the game, we found it to be one of the absolute best games on the system. It's such an amazing game on all levels that we're incredibly surprised that nobody else thought so, as the game's sales were incredibly poor. We wondered if complex games such as this would even have a future on the Wii. Actually, we still do.

So, Australia, do your part. Make sure you buy this amazing game.
