Wii gets even more compact with personal seven inch screen
What does the diminutive Wii need more than anything? Not so fast with talk of a hard drive! No, what it really needs is its own personal seven inch screen. That way you can feel even more like a giant while playing it!
Chinavision has head your cries and delivered just such a product. The seven inch monitor is similar to those that have been released in the past for the PS2 and Xbox. It conveniently (at least in pictures) attaches to the system, features stereo speakers, auxiliary AV connectors, and 480×234 resolution.
Of course, such a product won’t get much use from many outside of the modding community. How soon until Wii fans see a truly portable Wii, or the screen retrofitted for other portable home console systems? In fact, is anyone buying this for the intended use? If so, please do respond.

Otherwise, though, obsession channeled in the right direction can lead to cool things like a working Lego version of the arcade classic Donkey Kong. Take that Calvin Klein.

Microsoft Excel the next powerhouse graphics engine?

This video is both remarkable and pointless. Did you know you can render 3D graphics in Microsoft Excel? Did you care? Probably not for both, but upon seeing you’ll have a hard time arguing it isn’t a little cool to make such a bland work tool actually do something fun. Now, where are the modders

If you’re going to design a cartoon racing game, it should be required by law that one level takes place on a roller coaster track. Really, is there anywhere you’d rather race?

First some Wiis can’t read the discs and now this? What else can Brawl fans hope for? According to some, it’s impossible to get online and play a match during the evening.
