[Wii U] Thieves steal $2 million worth of Nintendo Wii U's in heist

A news report being ran by ABC News has revealed that thieves have carried out a heist at SeaTac Seattle Air Cargo and made off with roughly $2 million worth of Nintendo consoles.

It is believed that they were Wii U's, but the ABC News report seems to refer to them only as Wii's. The thieves could also have taken a mixture of Nintendo consoles.

Police have no leads at the moment, but reports suggest that the thieves drove two large diesel trucks into the distribution site at around 9 o'clock on Saturday evening. Once there they proceeded to load up the consoles using forklifts inside the site. Afterwards they unloaded the consoles into two 53-foot semi-truck trailers waiting outside as well as a large box-truck van.

Workers noticed at 12 o'clock Sunday afternoon that they were several empty pallets, missing hardware and trucks.

So, there you have it. That's a lot of stolen hardware, keep your eyes peeled for ludicrous amounts of consoles on sale I suppose.

Game Boy Camcorder mod is a lot of work (and looks totally worth it)

At first glance, the Game Boy Camcorder mod seen above may seem like too much work for too little payoff -- but, for us, the effort is totally validated. It may not fit in your front pocket, but it's a way more interesting camcorder than your pal's boring old Flip.

Fez on WiiWare not 'worth our time and effort,' dev says

by David Hinkle on Mar 30th 2011 7:30PM

It's pretty likely that Fez won't be gracing WiiWare, judging from some not-so-nice things one of the developers had to say regarding Nintendo's platform. Phil Fish, the game's co-creator, told Destructoid back at PAX East that "WiiWare just wouldn't be worth our time and effort," and described it as "a dismal system" that he avoids as both a consumer and a developer. "No demos? F*ck off," he concluded. Of course, there are demos on WiiWare now, but for years that wasn't the case.

When questioned on the possibility of 3DS, Fish commented that anything he'd produce would have to be a different game entirely -- kinda like Super Hypercube, his stereoscopic 3D game. It's hardly a confirmation, but we're fairly certain the man doesn't go around winking and nudging people, willy-nilly. That'd be weird!
