While the Wii has amassed a pretty impressive video game library, there is a whole slew of downloadable content available through their various online services. To utilize these services, you’re going to grab some Wii Points by exchanging your hard earned cash. But who wants to do that when you can just download your favorite SNES and other retro titles with some freshly earned, free Wii Points?

You may be asking yourself  ”what the hell?” but fret not – Teyon has just announced that they will be holding a contest within Heavy Fire: Special Operations that will pit players against one another to score the highest. The three players to submit the highest score to Teyon’s website (along with a randomly selected entry) will recieve 2,000 Wii points.

You have until September 1st, better get a move on as the high score is already well over 16,000.

Head here to submit your high score.

There has been a lot of buzz circulating regarding the Nintendo 3DS. If you haven’t heard about it, it’s Nintendo’s latest portable console that is essentially the same thing as the Nintendo DS but features an upper screen capable of displaying 3D content with no 3D glasses, and twin cameras for taking 3D pictures.

Seeing how such seemingly high tech gadgetry is jammed in to one device, the hype is no surprise.

Unfortunately, while Nintendo has let us take a pretty in depth look at the device, they have yet to announce an official release date or price point. Luckily, it was just announced that they will be letting us in on both the release date and price of the Nintendo 3DS come September 29th, 2010.

Yes, an announcement for an announcement – that’s Nintendo for you.

GameStop has recently sent around a series of newsletters filled with information. On one newsletter was a list of various Wii games coming out in the near future one of which was Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Now, before you Wii owners get too excited, GameStop has been known to make mistakes in the past. While there is a chance this could mean that a Wii version of Modern Warfare 2 is just over the horizon there’s a (seemingly) high good chance that it was a typo of sorts.

Until we hear anything out of Activision, we’re going to mark this one off as a rumor.

South Korea is widely known as one of the most StarCraft (and technology in general) friendly nations in the entire world. You would think that with the forthcoming release of StarCraft II, pretty much everyone would be getting it.

Well, that not may be true as recent reports have surfaced that say the game will be receiving an Adult’s Only rating. This would, of course, mean that only people 18 and older would (legally) be able to purchase the game.

Regardless of the rating I’m sure the nation is going to accept StarCraft II with open arms.

While we don’t encourage cheating in any way shape or form, the number of glitches found in the Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer is getting a bit out of hand. So, we bring you the unlimited Harrier glitch because the more people that exploit this, the faster Infinity Ward will patch it.

“Glitch spawns unlimited harriers – you can have a max of 9 in the air at once – just stand back and keep calling them in until you’ve got a nuke or

1. Equip the following load out (must be the same)
M16 + Holographic sight – not really needed but some weapons it doesn’t work – M16 is confirmed.
AT4-HS Launcher
Tactical Insertion
Smoke Grenade

*Killstreaks* Just make sure you’ve equipped the Care package – doesn’t matter about 2 and 3.

2. Run around and kill 4 people until you’ve got the care package.

3. First equip the care package then in the following order: Equip the Tactical Insertion, just before its light animation (as it catches) press LB followed by Y then hold the right trigger.

4. The rocket will fire and you’ll hear the harrier sound notification, select the harrier and place it on the map – as you’ve placing it on the map hold the DPAD right button.

5. Once you’ve called in the harrier if you’ve kept the DPAD right held down you’ll hear the harrier sound notification again – repeat step 4 over and over again until you’ve got 9 harriers in the air.

6. To repeat after all 9 harriers have left go back to step 2.”

If you still haven’t managed to get yourself into the StarCraft II beta and don’t want to drop a few hundred for an invite on eBay, you’re in luck. Reports are coming in that say Blizzard is sending out emails containing additional StarCraft II beta keys to those already participating in the beta test.

There’s no telling how widespread these invites are being sent but if you know someone who is already in the StarCraft II beta, you better start beggin’ jus to be sure.

Infinity Ward’s Robert Bowling has been kind enough to give us a few details on the Modern Warfare 2 Stimulus Package map pack that’s set to drop at the end of April.

Below are the 5 new maps included in the Stimulus Package. If you’ve played CoD4, you’ll recognize that 2 of them are redone maps from that game:
New maps:

• “Bailout,” a multi-level apartment complex
• “Storm,” an open industrial park littered with heavy machinery
• “Salvage,” a snowy junkyard fortified by stacked debris and crushed cars

Call of Duty 4 maps:

• “Crash,” a war-torn urban environment
• “Overgrown,” which features a massive dry creek bed

This is all fine and dandy except for the fact that Activision plans to charge 1200 Microsoft Points ($15) for the pack. What’s even more frightening is the number of people that are actually going to pay 15 bucks for the pack.

Have you downloaded the Battlefield: Bad Company 2 demo yet? If not, you should because it kicks ass and ends on the 25th of this month. But regardless of that the game’s developers have recently let us know that downloads for the demo have surpassed 3.5 million. A pretty amazing feat considering games like Modern Warfare 2 and MAG have been stealing the spotlight as of late.
