Lego My Wii!

Ah yes - Nintendo and Lego - two great tastes that go great together.

I really enjoy putting these collections and had started to run out of ideas. (Please send suggestions!) Then, I came across an article about the Wii lightsaber for Lego Star Wars and the suggestion that future Wii-Lego games may be forthcoming. Let’s be clear, people LOVE Nintendo and they LOVE Lego - and there seems to be a natural overlap between the two. I was surprised at much stuff there was out their that combined the two and have lovingly collected some of my favorites below:

Sit back and enjoy the show.

Ah yes, the (working?) Gameboy - with Lego batteries!

Anyone still remember Castlevania?

Awesome Mario statue.

You knew you would see more then just one Mario …

What is Mario without Bowser?

A little Link Lego love. (Try saying that 5 times fast!)

I’ve never considered getting a skin for my Wii … until now!

Yes, the one on your left is made of lego.

Tennis anyone? Pretty sweet.

Wii can bowl!

Wii controller. (not functional - you will see why I mention that soon.)

Wii gun - yes, this one actually works!

Well, the picture is not much to lookout but the story is. In short, this robot is made of lego and has been prgorammed to bowl a perfect game in Wii bowling every time. Awesome.

Well blockheads, that is all for today. Hope you enjoyed getting your Lego on, at least a Wii bit. Stay tuned for future collections and once again, please comment below if there is any collections you would like to see. Wii will see you later.

Have A Game On Us!

In order to show everyone how much we appreciate having you as loyal readers, we are having a contest that gives you the opportunity to win The Legend of Zelda: The Twilight Princess and the Prima Strategy Guide to accompany it. The guide will show you where every single item is in the game, and the earliest possible time you can pick them up. It will become invaluable in your quest to exterminate Ganon.

Each of you can get yourselves five chances to enter. Here’s how.

1. The first way to get yourself an entry is to simply create a comment after your read this. Be sure to give us lots of love, and you get one entry.
2. If you have a blog or a website and you give us a link* and you get another entry. When you leave your comment here, be sure to leave a link to where you gave us a link, otherwise we won’t know about it!
3. If your a member of some forums somewhere (and who isn’t?) give us a link* and you get another entry. Don’t be spammy either. If a forum owner complains that you spammed their board for this contest, your entry will be disqualified. Same as above, you have to tell us where you left the link so we can verify it.
4. Subscribing to our RSS feed will get you an entry.
5. Subscribing to our daily email feed delivery will get you an entry. When you leave your comment, the email you enter must match the one that you used for the daily feed delivery. The links to both our RSS feed and email feed delivery are located in the top right corner of every page.

(*Feel free to mention the contest in your blog posts and forum links, but links should vary. We don’t want everyone linking to this solitary post. For example, you could link to our homepage or your favorite posts, columns, or categories. This feature article by Ilchymis is a great article to link to!)

There you have it, five chances to enter to win a great game and guide to go along with it. The lucky winner will be chosen at random on the first day of March 2008. Something such as this list randomizer will be used, and the drawing will likely even be recorded.

The winner will be contacted via the email address used to leave comments, so it must be valid. If the winner cannot be contacted, or does not reply to the winning notification email within 2 weeks, the prize will be forfeited and another winner will be randomly selected.

Mywiinews.com authors are not eligible for entry.

AND THE WINNER IS….

A couple of days late, I know. So here is what I did. I assigned everyone a number. Those who had more than one entry got more than one number assigned. If you had five entries, you got five numbers. Got me? I then entered the numbers into Random.org. So, who had the winning number? That would be none other than Jeff Delano!

Congratulations Jeff. I will send you an email to finalize things.

Be sure to check back soon everyone. I expect another contest before long!

Cos Wii Can!

A collection of Nintendo related costumes lovingly assembled by your friends at My Wii News … the good, the bad and the ugly.

If imitation is indeed the sincerest form of flattery then the folks over at Nintendo must be downright red-faced with embarrassment. Fresh off our pictorials on NINTENDO WEDDINGS and NINTENDO TATTOOS, we take a look at some of the best (and worst) Nintendo costumes. On with the show … Enjoy!

Let’s start ‘old school’ again …

the ‘A’ button seems okay but you don’t want to push ‘HOME’ too much …

This one is ALL about ‘Mii’ … (my fave)

Does that GAME BOY work? Anyway, on to Mario …

Oh … HELLO Princess!

I think this is cool?

I KNOW this is!

Ahh yes, the dreaded water level …

Why are you so scared ladies?

Mario & Mama (of CookOff fame) with Wii …

Zelda time next — lots of LINK LOVE!

I’m speechless … AWESOME!

Dark Link … someone has TOO much time on their hands …

Lil’ Link

Do you know the Dark Link above by chance?

Oh no! Gawd — why?!! (Good costume actually … I just had flashbacks of the game)

Another geek, erm link-in-training …

and finally, the one that will wake you up in the middle-of-the-night in a cold sweat …

Ta-da! I certainly hoped you enjoyed our little show. Come back anytime for all your Nitendo and Wii related action. Oh, and hey — tell your friends! Happy playing and Wii will see you soon.
