Trade in your old ports for a new port



If you're lucky enough to have a Hastings store nearby, the entertainment retailer is offering to exchange your moth-eaten copies of Super Paper Mario or The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess for a waggle-fied edition of Resident Evil 4. They'll also accept Rainbow Six Vegas (360) and God of War II (PS2), but not without scowling at you first.

According to the rest of Hastings's weekly ad, there's a buy-1-get-2nd-for-free sale on body jewelry, so be on the look out for that deal too! Put away the other two RE4 games you've already bought for previous platforms, throw on a shirt that shows off your belly-button-ringed midriff, and check past the post break for the full flyer.

The Abridged Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess


We've gawked at speedruns before, but this one is unique in that it's a speedrun of a Wii game. Daniel Hart recorded himself completing The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess in an incredible 5 hours and 39 minutes. That beats our best time by roughly infinity.

We didn't watch the whole thing, because five and a half hours, while short for a Zelda playthrough, is long for a video. Honestly, the speed-goatherding in the first segment is entertainment enough for us. But if you're stuck in Zelda, or need some strategies, this would be a great resource since the dude knows how to play.

Zelda tops a million


Well, that was quick. Turns out, Link's latest adventure is quite the popular one as NOA's VP of Marketing, Perrin Kaplan, confirmed to IGN that The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess has sold more than one million copies in the Americas alone. Now, she doesn't say if this figure is exclusive to the Wii-based Twilight Princess alone, so we'll just assume this figure reflects sales of both the Wii and GameCube version.

Shocking news, we know ...

One figure to rule them all

Set tot release in May, the pictured figure of Link from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is just about the coolest figure we have ever seen. Like Gollum, we needs it and will do anything to have it. Of course, with every possible chunk of happiness we may gain, there is something horrible looming to keep us in check. See, the figures do not have a price yet (it'll probably be a lot) and are only available in Japan.

There are a total of 5 figures planned, with only the pictured Link and Wolf Link & Midna being revealed. Others planned are Zant and Zelda, with the last remaining figure yet to be revealed. The figures are also only the smaller size, coming in at a height of around 120mm.

Evil fun: killing the postman in Twilight Princess


Quite possibly some of the most evil laughter that has been emitted from the Wii Fanboy staff in a long time, the embedded video that shows the fast-footed postman receiving his due has won many over at digg, eventually gaining our attention. We felt that it was our duty to show this to all who have not been able to. So, be merry, be evil and watch the video! Be warned though, that if you do this in your game the framerate will drop to less than one-per-second.

Gorgeous new Zelda: TP screens

The day for Zelda: Twilight Princess draws nearer and nearer. It has been three years since fans last saw a console Zelda title. The anticipation and hype surrounding this game couldn't be stronger and to further antagonize you, we've got more screens. Screens of visually arresting landscape, gigantic monsters, and our favorite hero. Time couldn't possibly go any slower.

Beautiful Twilight Princess standee

Ah, amore! You may be asking where this is displayed, where can I find one, can I steal one ... we don't care. We just want to look at it and giggle with glee 'cause November 19 is almost friggin' here people! We wish there was a way to score one of these. Our ninja skills may have to go towards stealing one from a GameStop or something before those greedy game store zombies employees get them. The plot thickens ....

Wii Experience videos with Twilight Princess

No matter what we do, we just cannot seem to stop these Wii Experience videos. They're like some kind of juggernaut, bowling us over again and again as they present videos of folks enjoying games on the Wii. And these latest videos of folks, folks who are not us, enjoying The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess on the Wii are no exception. Our tear-soaked T-shirts prove it!
