Here are the Rules for the News Team Application Thread:

Rules

-This thread is used for applications only! We don't want discussion.
-NO copy and pasting whatsoever(you can copy and paste quotes from people, however must put in quotations or italics).
-News Article should be Nintendo related.
-Give a link to where you found the article.

If you break any of these rules, you will be disqualified and not allowed to be a writer. Please apply as soon as possible. Country and I will judge after many have applied.Please do not ask me or Country to make you a writer and please do not bribe us. If you try any of that your chances are close to 0. This contest will be done fair and square. And remember make it your best because we only pick the best writers.

We can only pick 2 writers!

If we find more than two that we like a lot we will have a write-off. It will be a second round between those two people. Once Country and I have decided, we will pm the winners, ask them if they accept the position, and then inform the public, if they do, who the new writers are.

1) I would like to be a writer because I am a power hungry, self obsessed, son of a gun.

2) I think I should have this position because I am better than everybody else.

3) Im 34 years old

Today, many gathered to view the Ninja Parade. Men, women, and children mingled while not seeing the ninjas. The masters of shadows are there of course, these people just fail. Daniel Maffei is a veteran parade goer, and even he is stuck by thier lack of visibility. He says that "The kids love trying to spot them and not being able to". For 30 years they haven't been able to indeed.

A ninja was spotted back in 1984 however.

1.)I would like to be a writer for Wiiusers.net because I think it is a great way to help and inform the members.

2.)I think I should have this position because I love this site and video games, I log on every single day I can.

3.)I'm 12 years old

4.)Super Mario Galaxy 2
At E3 this year Nintendo announced Super Mario Galaxy 2. It looks like Nintendo will have a game for The original fans. Mario has his Yoshi friends in the game. I can tell from the trailer that the blue Yoshi might blow water to either fly or defeat enemies. I also see giant Goombas in trailer. Coming 2010. Thats all I can say about the game right now. More to come.

Guess I will go for it.

I would like to be a writer for Wiiusers.net because I would like to help bring news to the site. I would like to help with the site any way I can, and this could be a great window of oppurtunity for me to do just that.

I think I should have this position because I have considerably well grammar and punctuation, and I have excellent spelling.

I'm 14 years of age, and will become 15 in September.

ARTICLE

We all remember the 2007 shoot 'em up Resident Evil game, Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles. Well, on March 11th, Capcom dropped a bombshell for all Wii owners, a game to compensate for Resident Evil 5 being skipped by the Wii, Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles. It is the sequel to Umbrella Chronicles, and it covers the events of Resident Evil 2, which was skipped over in the Umbrella Chronicles. Players can take control of one of two characters, Leon S. kennedy or Claire Redfield. But, why did they change the name to Darkside Chronicles? Well, the answer is quite simple; Umbrella is no longer the enemy in the game. The game's graphics are turning out well, even with the limited graphic capabilities of the Wii (note that that is the reason Resident Evil 5 didn't come to the Wii). There is also a two player co-op mode for you, so the game is shaping up nicely, even if it's early on in production. They have stressed that they are working on replay value of the game, for a better gaming experience. Don't expect this game to be released this year, though. There is no release date revealed yet. Be sure to save up your money for what is shaping up to be an excellent game!

Here is the trailer for the game. *DISCLAIMER* This trailer contains some profanity. Some viewers may not find this suitable.

Article;

Nintendo to Discontinue User Content Service for SSBB

Well everyone, something none of us could imagine to fear has happend.
Yes indeed, Nintendo pulled the plug on Brawls user created content. What this means is that you will no longer have the ability to send your buddies your most glorious moments via In-game screen shots and video.

The quote re-affirms the facts above
“As of June 30th, 2009, the current service that accepts user-generated snapshots, stage designs, and replay data will no longer be available. Please note, however, that we will continue to distribute such data after that date.”

The last part, in bold, does strike my curiosity however. The WU news team will keep you updated.
