I actually tried this a week or so ago with a friend of mine. It's quite amusing, actually. However, if you're itching to play online as Hitler, just change his name. It's the name that is banned, not the face!

NGamer Magazine says Project H.A.M.M.E.R. is still in the works!
A quote from the magazine:
Nintendo at large says no, but the head of a Nintendo subsidiary says he and his team are still working on it. Believe us, we’ll be the first to tell you when H.A.M.M.E.R’s back on track.
Well, I guess Nintendo never officially cancelled the game, they just said it was "shelved". Perhaps it is still in the works?!?

SEGA to release maraca Wiimote sleeves for Samba de Amigo?
Long time fans of Samba hoped that the Wii version would come with maraca controllers, as the original did. However, SEGA answered their question, saying that the game will only use the Wii remote and nunchuck. However, it now appears that SEGA is looking in to developing a Wii remote sleeve shaped like a maraca. They've even talked to some manufacturers about it!
Could be a cool idea!

Pitfall Wii Screens
Gamecube
WiiHere are images of the the gamecube Pitfall game and the upcoming Pitfall Wii. Strikingly similar?
First image of Guitar Hero IV's drum kit!
One lucky Game Informer subscriber who received their issue early posted this scan of Guitar Hero IV's drum kit. As you can see, the kit only has 3 drum pads, but it has 2 dedicated cymbal pads. The kit still has a foot pedal (damn) but it is fully wireless.
More info when Activision officially announces GHIV very soon.
Banjo-Kazooie Controversy: Banjo blows up Mario in latest trailer
Rare and Microsoft posted a trailer for Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts yesterday. In the trailer, Banjo is show flying a plane and blowing up a block statue of Mario. Many fans were outraged at the trailer, questioning why Rare would do this. The trailer has since been updated, and Rare claims it was just a joke. I'll try to post a YouTubed version of the trailer later tonight.
We do have this screenshot of the trailer showing the Mario incident:
Josh from WiiFolder came up with a creative and interesting way to get back and Rare and Banjo for the video. Behold: Banjo-Kaboomie!
