Newly released in the UK at Amazon UK:
As the all-new racing experience from Codemasters Studios, creators of Colin McRae: DiRT™, Race Driver: GRID is all about the race. Every moment from the adrenalin rush at the start lights to the elation at the chequered flag – the tension, pressure, noise, and action.
Featuring only the most powerful race cars – current and classic, circuit and drift – players will compete to conquer the most prestigious official race tracks and championships and then go beyond to compete in challenging city-based competitions, through to road events and urban street races.
With races crammed with action and incident, high-impact moments will come at you thick and fast, one right after another: engine blows, tyre blow outs, tight overtaking, accidents, opponent cars flipping, spinning, collisions with other cars and trackside objects.
From humble beginnings, earning a few thousand dollars a season, build a feared and respected racing team with a multi-million dollar income and complete at dramatic race locations and dominate a multi-disciplined world of racing.
In Europe, race prestige Marques, including Aston Martin, Koenigsegg and Pagani, on the greatest official race circuits. Enter street competitions and race high-performance V8 muscle cars through iconic U.S. cities including San Francisco, Washington DC and Detroit. In the Far East, Japanese racing culture sets the tone where night races, including Drift racing, take drivers through neon illuminated cities and to outlying mountain roads.
As the antithesis of the box-ticking, plodding single-player race game, Race Driver: GRID delivers a diverse career mode in a persistent world of racing that provides each player with a unique experience as their team writes itself into racing folklore.

News/release from Muzer:
A simple text file viewer for the Wii.
Features
Wiimote support
Front SD support
The display never breaks (by displaying too many lines than fit on one screen)
Uses the Wii's basic text console
What is being worked on
File selector (currently, you have to pass an argument with wiiload, eg wiiload txt-read.dol file.txt)
Partial displaying of long lines
Instructions
These are the instructions for the use of my app
To load it, you must use an app that lets you specify arguments. This currently means wiiload. So, it would be:
wiiload txt-read.dol file.txt
where file.txt is on the SD card.
The app will then ask you if you want to display line numbers. Press 1 for yes or 2 for no.
Then you can use up and down to scroll, and home to exit.
Simple, eh?
Changelog
0.1: First stable version
0.2: First released version, added code to stop lines longer than the Wii's display width from breaking it.
0.3: Added option to disable line numbers
0.4: Fixed bug where some lines will be missed off the end of files meeting specific requirements
0.5: Added file selector (currently buggy but works) (thanks to CraZzy).

Marcan has released an update to the Menu Hack that allows region free gaming to the Nintendo Wii and more besides, heres the full newspost which includes the 0.4 newspost for more clarity:
Yesterday we had some server issues, and I took the server offline for a while. During this, I decided it was time to release a preview version of menuloader. Since I couldn’t write a post about it here, I just let it loose on the forums. Unfortunately, the resulting game of Telephone (somewhat predictably) managed to get a few things wrong as the announcement bounced from forum to forum, so I think it’s time to write up a real announcement, now that the server is back up.
Update: version 0.5 is up, which fixes some region free issues and includes a patch to disable updates. See below.
Menuloader has existed in some form at least since the release of IOS37. It was developed as a way of checking that a System Menu running under an IOS with no fakesign bug would not cause a brick on consoles with modified software installed. It also gained debug abilities, which was nice to investigate what goes on behind the scenes with the System Menu. When The Homebrew Channel came out (the real one, not the “demo”), we added extra patches to increase debugging verbosity, and used it to debug our homebrew apploader. It remained like that for a while. I had ideas about adding more useful patches and releasing it, but they were put on the back burner.
Recently, there has been some activity regarding modding the system menu. A few people were asking me about menuloader. In an attempt to both get people to learn for themselves and avoid having to redirect my attention to menuloader (I had more important things to do at the time), I dropped some useful code and explained the general idea of menuloader. As far as I know, the very first application based on these ideas is sadmenu, which includes a simple patch that makes testing banners out quite a bit safer. Crediar did the same, but then reworked the resulting patches into a tool that installs them permanently into the Wii. After watching his video, I figured it was about time to finally clean menuloader up and release it.
menuloader 0.4 is a tool that dynamically launches the System Menu with a set of patches. The patching occurs entirely as the menu is loaded, and the changes aren’t permanent. None of the patches will persist once you reboot the Wii or reload the System Menu. This release is meant to be a “test” version, as it lacks some features and the patches have not undergone much testing. It includes the following (selectable) patches:
USBGecko debugging, with optional extended debugging information
Regionfree Wii disc booting (I hear this doesn’t work perfectly yet)
Regionfree channel booting (useful if you’ve region-swapped your Wii and want to use your old store-bought VC and WiiWare titles)
v0.5: Disable updates
Skip Warning screen
Disable background music
Additionally, you can pick which IOS to use when booting. On a 3.3 Wii, for example, pick IOS35 to get back the ability to use fakesigned discs. On a 3.2 or older Wii, you can pick IOS37 to “experience” what happens when 3.3 users try to use fakesigned discs, like we did in March (assuming you actually have IOS37 installed).
The main difference between this tool and crediar’s is that menuloader boots the new system menu with the patches applied during the launch process - nothing ever gets modified in your Wii’s NAND filesystem. This means that the hack only persists until the system menu exits (when you boot a game or reboot the Wii), but it also means that it is much safer for trying out new patches.
The ideas for some of the patches were inspired by crediar’s demonstration video, but the actual patches were developed independently and, in fact, before crediar’s installer was released. The patching methodology is entirely different in both applications - Starfall app uses static patches which only work on 3.2E, while menuloader uses dynamic search and replace, which is compatible with a wide range of System Menu versions. We can afford to do this because menuloader does not install anything to NAND. If anything goes wrong, you can just reboot the Wii and everything will be back to normal.
FAIR WARNING: While menuloader does not modify your NAND filesystem, the System Menu does have the ability to do so, and incorrect patches could result in the System Menu itself causing trouble. In particular, the same warnings that apply to region-free modchips apply to menuloader: if you run an update from a disc from another region, it could result in duplicated channels, a semibrick, or in rare cases a full brick. v0.5: This version includes a patch to disable disc updates. It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that you leave this on.
Once I get a chance to clean things up a bit, I’ll release a new version with source code so you can experiment with your own patches.
It is important to note that this isn’t merely a testing or specific-use tool with no ability to apply the patches on startup. While I do not think that modifying the System Menu in NAND is a good idea, there are ways of making Menuloader run on startup, effectively accomplishing the same goal in a safer way. We expect to be able to do this when the boot2 hack is released (which, from now on, I’m going to call boot1.5 or BootMii).
v0.5 notes: I added another patch to fix an extra region check. This is now part of the “disc region” option. I also added a patch to disable updates.
menuloader v0.5 download
Enjoy! Stay tuned for more information on my current ideas about future hacks, how were going to manage System Menu and IOS patches, and BootMii. Oh, yeah, and the DVD lib. No, we haven’t forgotten about it.

Wil has updated his Solitaire game for the Wii:
Wii Solitaire is a very simple solitaire game which makes use of the Wiimote. This game is still a work in progress.
0.3
Major Game-play Changes
Card-Based Selection
Instead of the cursor having to be over a Tableau card or Foundation card to drop now the held card only has to be touching the Tableau and Foundation cards to be dropped. This really refines the game play making it a lot simpler to control the cards.
Vertical Card Adjustment
The cards on the Tableau now adjust vertically so that when there are less cards in a column more of each card is visible making identifying the cards much easier.
Minor Changes
Finished Core Menu
Core menu work is complete.
GRRLIB 16:9 Support
I made it so that if you are using a 16:9 TV the game will output a stretched 4:3 image to screen. Later on I will make this an option to turn on and off.
Properly Scaled Cards and New Table
I recreated the cards used and properly scaled the cards for a more accurate looking game. I also replaced the old table background with a much cleaner looking version.

I'm not sure if this has made the rounds yet, but I recently discovered Tecmo/Red's upcoming DS title Nosgalgeo no Kaze - Wind of Nosgalgeo. It's quite a whimsical looking title, with airships, adventuring, and RPG battles (both on land and in ships). It takes place in our world, in London and Cairo (at least that's what's announced so far), and is in full 3D, which is very well rendered. Ships are fully customizable, and there's a skill tree for advancement of individual characters. There's a nice wallpaper as well, in the download section. The site was just re-launched today, but you can still see the old site as well, which has a nice charming look to it, with a little Indiana Jones influence to it...the game in general calls to mind a simpler time, when games took themselves a bit less seriously, and were a bit more entertaining. The game has a planned Fall 2008 release date, with no price yet set.

News/release from crowcity
Here's an i Ching oracle (Chinese Book of Changes or Yi Jing) for your DS.
game/app: http://www.crowcity.co.uk/games/iChingDS.zip
It features:
coin tossing line by line
first and second hexagrams
changing lines are printed only where relevant
switching hexagram display between first and second hexagrams
cast again if you want to
iChingDS should be pretty easy to use, but here are some instructions anyway …
1. Ask your question and press A to toss the coins. Your coin tosses will be displayed (H/T for Heads/Tails) and the first line of your hexagram will be displayed (in red if it is changing, otherwise in black). The hexagram is built from the bottom.
2. Once you’ve tossed the coins six times, your finished hexagram will display on the top screen, complete with text.
3. Any changing lines will be displayed on the bottom screen. You should pay special attention to these.
4. If your hexagram changes, press L or R (shoulder buttons) to switch display between the two hexagrams, so you can read the text.
5. If you wish to recast the coins for a new reading, press Start.
I wanted to get it out on 8/8/08 (8 is a lucky number!) so I haven't quite implemented everything I wanted to, so as it currently stands it's v0.5. Still to come: touchscreen interaction, sounds, improved graphics in several areas, splashscreen, maybe different dragon backgrounds, anything you can think of!
