Harvest Moon: Animal Parade
If you love Harvest Moon and own a Wii, then here is a game for you. The developer Natsume announced today that Harvest Moon: Animal Parade has gone gold and will available for purchase on Nov. 10th at a price of $49.99. They are offering a Limited Edition Plush Duck when you pre-order.
Here’s the storyline, as usual there’s trouble in a village called Harmonica Town! Crops aren’t growing, the wind isn’t blowing, and the five elemental bells are missing. Only the power of the Harvest King can revive the land, but he’s nowhere to be found. It’s up to the player to find the five bells, awaken the Harvest King, and save the town! There are lots of other activities including fishing, mining, growing crops, and caring for wild and exotic animals such as penguins, pandas, and monkeys. Even a Circus visits the town offering new quests and animals. Sounds like this one might be different enough to be interesting.

One of the biggest nerd fantasies after the announcement of motion controls on the Wii was swinging around a Lightsaber like you’re a digital Jedi. Some companies have tried, but none of really hit it out of the park. It looks like Bensussen Deutsch & Associates is ready to fulfill all your Star Wars dreams. You’ll be able to fight the good fight with Lightsaber and Clone Trooper Blaster attachments for your Wii Remote.
You’ll be able to snag the Clone Trooper Blaster for $24.99 and the Light-Up Lightsaber for $19.99. A Dual Pack, which includes both Anakin’s and Yoda’s Lightsabers is also available for $34.99, if that tickles your pickle.
If I touched my Wii more than once or twice a month, I’d look into picking these up. They look good quality and should be fun for big Star Wars fans who might use the Wii. Take a gander at the Clone Trooper Blaster after the jump.

For those of you out there in Wii-land, update 4.2 is live, and ready to mess up all your illegal stuff that you have saved on your Wii.
Wii System Update 4.2 is a “behind the scenes” update, doesn’t offer any new features, and really only tweaks your system performance, and unimportant things like that. However, it also demolishes all unauthorized save data, softmods, and requisite installs as well. So those of you that are all about hacking stuff, it’ll be awhile before the community creates a workaround…
Hope you don’t have important stuff on there, like your taxes, or porn stash…wait…………wut?

Nintendo confirmed what everyone already knew: the Wii will getting a $50 price drop this Sunday. I’m sure it’s going to sell even more than usual at $199.
The price drop party has been in full effect. First it was the PS3, then the Xbox 360, now the Wii. I wonder if the handhelds will get in on the fun? The PSP Go hasn’t launched yet, but it could definitely use a price drop. Maybe Nintendo would shave a couple bones off the DSi too.
Have you been desperately waiting for this price drop to pick up a Wii? Do you see enough value in the console to get one for $199?
