Nintendo Miis help Nintendo Wiis get back home

Police in Wales are hoping that 16 Miis found on a stolen Wii might be able to help them identify the console's rightful owners.
The man accused of stealing the Wii was arrested earlier this month, but police are no closer to discovering from whom the console was stolen.

Authorities are anxious to return the Wii, which they believe was probably a Christmas present.

To that end, they have released the unit's ID (7901 7431 3732 8898) as well as the names of several of the Miis (Seb, Pheebes, Nicks, Ellie and Evie) in the hopes that the rightful owners will come forward and be reunited with their purloined Wii.

Anyone with pertinent information about the identity of the Wii's owners is encouraged to contact the Kirklees CID.

Live Nintendo Mario Kart DS matches on Korean TV show

The televised Guitar Hero match was just a glimpse into the diversity of video game shows I'm watching in Korea. (Yes, there are more than the Starcraft league.) Champ, a station that usually broadcasts cartoons like YuYu Hakusho, has a program called Run & Run Mario Kart DS. The half an hour long show interviews six young contestants and then shows them racing wirelessly. This is the first I’ve heard about a competitive Mario Kart league in Korea, but it’s clear some players are taking Mario Kart DS very seriously.

Run & Run Mario Kart DS is also an indicator of how popular the Nintendo DS is in Korea. The system has been around for barely a year and Mario Kart DS came out on April 5, 2007. In this relatively short amount of time the DS blossomed enough for a production company to green light a television show centered competitive Mario Kart racing.
