Rock Band guitars don’t play nice with Guitar Hero: Aerosmith

While the above image comes from the Xbox 360 port of Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, we're fairly certain the same can be said of the Wii version of the game. In all likelihood, it doesn't play nice with your Rock Band guitar. But, considering how gimped Rock Band is for the Wii (let's hope that Rock Band 2 is a more full-fledged port, like Guitar Hero: World Tour), we're sure most of you are enjoying the game with your wireless Les Paul from Guitar Hero III.

Wii Tanks v0.3a blasts those bugs dead, adds nunchuk support

We hear from WiiBrew, center of everything homebrew on the Nintendo Wii, that author Grillo and Wii Tanks are back for another bout. Version 0.3a, though still a proof-of-concept homebrew game, is a culmination of added support for the Wii remote's nunchuk add-on, while knocking them elusive bugs dead.

Not all of them are gone, but it's enough to feel more confident about giving this homebrew version of the arcade classic Tanks another go with three pals. Other changes to Wii Tanks as of version 0.3a are as follows:

Updated to GRRLIB 3.0.1a
Fixed bullet coloring Bug
Fixed Tank coloring
Spanish/English language detection (thx roto)

On the note of tank coloring, now you can attempt to differentiate your tank's color from the opposing tanks successfully (the selection is more discerning in hues now). Plus, thanks to the bullet color patch, there would be no more shouting, "Who shot me? WHO SHOT ME!?!"

We know, that's happened a lot to us since Wii Tanks first released. But we got over it and even coined up a good name for the code critter: the magic bullet. Well, thanks for all the stealth kills, magic bullet. Nice knowing ya.

Lego mania, Nintendo fanboyism combined

We've featured Lego-constructed Wiis before, but let's be honest -- making a big block out of smaller blocks isn't impressing anyone. This brick-built Super Famicom/SNES (PAL) from Lego Guy, however has a few curves to it, and even accompanying controllers and a cartridge!

As you'll see past the post break, he has also fashioned himself a miniature Robotic Operating Buddy. On the topic of Legos, if you haven't checked it out yet, make sure to watch the Slide-Action Lego Crossbow Pistol video we've also embedded!
