GDC has started and Nintendo's keynote just ended and if you're a Nintendo fan (like me) you probably were watching the liveblogging that was going on.
Nintendo just announced a new Wii Menu update that is available right now! The big news from the update is that there is expanded support for SD cards in that you can download games directly from the Wii Shop Channel onto your SD card and play them off of the card! The system supports up to 32GB SD cards and 240 games.
Isn't this what Skie was begging for? Will this end his moritorium on buying games from the Wii Shop Channel? (If you remember this was discussed June 15th of last year)
Are you excited by this, or is it too late do you think?
Also announced was a new DS Zelda game called The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks with similar gameplay to Phantom Hourglass with the exception of a lot of trains.
What's that you say? Weren't expecting an installment on a Wednesday? Well I talked to some of the others and they said that I could fill in on Wednesdays with a song pick, so here I am with what I'm hoping is a particularly 'phat' track.
While there's a million songs I could've selected as my first entry, I decided on a track I came across playing an older PS2 title, Need For Speed Underground 2.
This track was actually made exclusively for Electronic Arts. It's a very interesting mashup of classic rock and rap music, which seems to fit in very well with the game's fast and furious street racing atmosphere. Normally it only plays during the game's opening menu screens, but you do have the option of cueing it up during gameplay if you wish. There's nothing better than cranking this song while barreling down the highway at 100mph chasing some guy you just challenged to an outrun race.
Riders on the Storm (Fredwreck Remix) - Snoop Dogg Feat. The Doors

While I love this song I'm afraid I don't know much about it but please feel free to comment and let me know why this song is great!
If you want to post your opinion about today's track or you've got a song suggestion you would like to see featured from a game let us know in the comments and we'll see what we can do about featuring it in an up coming article!
I think just about everyone has a story about their parent trying to get in to video games with their kids. Even if it doesn't take it's still a great moment and I'm a sucker for family togetherness.
