I really hope that Thorn does come out!!! when I think about what could be done with the system and the controls... I just cant wait for stuff like this to get to us!!! we just need the games!!! I know at launch all systems go through a lull.. but come on. developers should be cranking out some good things soon.

I call shenanigans. "Indie" developers may be embraced but the "bedroom coders" are most definitely shunned. Currently there is a significant effort to get unsigned code running on the Wii and the only way to do it is in GameCube emulation mode.

Nintendo has really screwed up this time. In the past ModChips were used to boot homebrew applications by many. There is even a Gamecube version of Linux! Now the modchips are primarily used to copy games since they are unable to boot unencrypted Wii executables.

In other words Nintendo has punished the people who aren't interested in stealing games
