Who would've thunk that for such a happy, wholesome console like Nintendo's Wii there'd be this much drama to eclipse that of Microsoft and Sony's feud? But seriously guys, followers of the Wii homebrew scene would find this as no laughing matter. Marcan, Team Twiizer (creators  of the famed Twilight Hack) member, is leaving the scene. He's not coming back and he means it.

Waninkoko has released a quick update to USB Loader, the Wiibrew app that will let you load your game backups from USB storage devices. The update fixes a few bugs. Changelog after the link.

Thanks to ThrashWolf and silwon for the tip!

With the GDC riding off into the sunset, the gaming scene is left with a seriously hyped-up trail filled with bits of info on this year's hottest titles. Couple that with the new info that Famitsu's so darn good at getting, and you have a very noisy news week to recap. For starters, Square Enix revealed more info for their much-awaited games, plus the Wii homebrew devs seemed to have really hit their stride, releasing their heavy artillery for the scene. For this edition of the Nintendo Weekend Warrior for the DS and Wii, there's gonna be some rumor-busting, some Squeenix quizzing, and Wii brewing!

Wii homebrew developer waninkoko updated his Wii Firmware Updater to v4.0. The app allows you to update your Wii's firmware, installing only the needed apps, such as IOS, System Menu, channels, and the like.

Let's not dilly-dally anymore. We've got here a Custom IOS, an IOS that's been modified to add features that are otherwise not available in the official one. Thanks to waninkoko, once more, for this development in the Wii homebrew front. Changelog after the jump.

It's the weekend so it's time to take a look back through the week and see what Nintendo has been up to. And to be quite frank, news has been pretty quiet at the Wii and DS blogs. Let's keep it nice and easy this week and let's talk about all them nostalgic games coming and the piracy that's really getting to Nintendo.
