Brett the Cover man for Madden

According to XBOX 360 Fanboy

"Confirming an earlier report that appeared on GameDaily, Brett Favre announced he would be honored as the cover athlete for Madden NFL 09; the 20th Anniversary of the series.

The announcement was made during an interview by Late Show host David Letterman. While news may come as a surprise considering Favre recently retired from the sport, his accomplishments alone warrant the appointment.

In his career Brett Favre was awarded one Super Bowl championship, 3 AP NFL MVP awards, was a Pro Bowl and All-Pro selection 9 and 7 times respectively and holds over 7 NFL records, including most career passing yards (61,655 all-time yards).

Finally, a cover athlete that can end that silly Madden curse. Unless Favre falls off his fishing boat this summer or something.

Madden NFL 09 is set to release on August 12"

This comes as little surprise considering the amount of press that Favre has all ready received this year.

Nintendo Disconnected?

 

MTV's Multiplayer blog has a great article about Wii 24 Connect.  Hit the link  for the full article.  It basically asks the question, "Nintendo has built the 24 Connect service but they aren't using it, are they?"

Currently it doesn't do anything.  When my Wii was connected using Wifi it would NEVER work; at least since the 3rd or 4th patch after launch.  It would just notify me that there was an update available but it never actually updated the Wii.

Now, when the service is connected through a LAN connection it still only notifies me via mail and doesn't actually update the system.  I certainly know the precise moment I get an in service mail.  But there is no service going on here.

This service was a groundbreaking step forward for online services in general.  But it's too bad that it doesn't ACTUALLY do anything but notify you of in game messages.  Which I think cellphones do now, don't they?

But never fear, supposedly there is a Everybody's Nintendo Channel that will be in the US sometime in the future that will ACTUALLY use the service.  I guess 2+ years after the box launches is a short enough time to make good on launch promises.  After all, Microsoft and Sony still have delivered on most of theirs.
