Heres the details from the homepage:
Well its been fun. Im officially retiring from development of this project with the reason being I am utterly bored with the nintendo wii software library and sick to death of the 1/2 arsed opera browser.
Sorry to sound bitter but I will not be buying another nintendo console, I was there for the n64 and gamecube both of which didnt share the wii's initial success but are carbon copys of the wii's pathetic game release cycle.
Expect to see the tired old argument "We are not focused on hardcore gamers" to be used constantly to explain: lack of games, yet another minigame compilation, xbox/ ps2/psp ports and general piss poor software library.
The only game I am interested in playing on the Wii in the near future is mariokart, but given that nintendo has pushed it back yet again it became the final straw for myself. I sold my wii for $300au with all original equipment so I didnt lose out to much.
What console next, well for my the ps3 seems ideal for several key points:
Web browser is actually 1/2 decent from all reports
linux support out the box
bluetooth / wireless support
free online gameplay etc
The only thing that holds me back the current price, which will drop to my acceptable level soon enough.
Should anyone wish to take over the project feel free. For myself it was always a curiosity seeing as I have a linux pc hooked up to my tv in the lounge.
mem out
Each to their own i suppose
