In Lloyds bio it says “Alex Lloyd’s career began in go-karts”… wonder if he’s a fan of Mario Kart?

On May 21, 2008 the game will be simultaneously launched on Xbox Live Arcade and Penny Arcade’s Greenhouse service (for PC gamers). Okay, now your probably asking yourself where is the WiiWare release date? Well it seems that the Penny Arcade will not grace our WiiWare channel due to “size restrictions”. Read more about the reasoning below, these quotes come for Nintendo World Report.

In a recent post in the official forum for the game at Penny Arcade, Hothead Games member Vlad Ceraldi has revealed that the current size restriction put on WiiWare titles could prevent Penny Arcade Adventures from ever coming to WiiWare. “Until the size restriction is increased, the game will not be going to WiiWare. Sorry.”

So, unless Nintendo changes that limitation, Wii owning Penny Arcade fans are going to have to look at one of the other platforms before they can play the title. Nintendo World Report has learned that Hothead Games is a licensed Wii developers and all parties involved (including Nintendo) wanted to see the title make it to the console. In fact, the studio would most likely revisit the situation if the size requirements ever change.

Why doesn’t Nintendo do something about this? Seems like it would only benefit them… just make an external Wii Hard Drive. I’m sure if Nintendo doesn’t do it soon, another company will beat them to the punch. OH NO!!! it might not come in Wii White… oh the humanity!

Will you lose weight? Put it this way: it’s not going to hurt. Much of the challenge of starting a daily fitness regime is simply in finding an impetus to start, and Wii Fit is a lot cheaper than a gym membership. Its “Fitness Made Fun” tagline rings a little hollow when you consider that most of the aerobic games are rather more work than entertainment, but hey, if losing weight was easy then everybody would be doing it. Doing anything that gets you off the couch is going to help, and Wii Fit’s more energetic minigames are ample to leave you out of breath. No, it’s no shortcut to the perfect physique, but it sure beats another hour on a damn treadmill.

IGN’s Matt Casamassina has “pretty much” confirmed what most were speculating: that it’s Kid Icarus. Recently Casamassina was speaking on IGN’s Nintendo Voice Chat podcast, where he said…

Of course [Nintendo is] going to have some E3 surprises. You know, Kid Icarus, for crying out loud, how many times do we have to say Kid Icarus? Kid Icarus is coming for crying out loud.

Sounds like someone needs to switch to Decaf… but in any case could this be the elusive “Big Game” that was hinted about early in the year?

Nothing against Kid Icarus or his fans, but I was expecting something else for the “Big Game”. For example: I put Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Super Mario Galaxy, and Mario Kart Wii in the “Big Game” column… and to me Kid Icarus just doesn’t seem to fit in with those… but hey, what do I know.

So in closing let me leave you with the words of the immortal words of Kid Icarus in SSBB…”Ha Ya Ya Ya Ya Ya”.
