Wiikey Release Candidate 1 Hits Beta Testers

More than 9 weeks from the initial release date, the Wiikey team has updated their news with the following message:

"A release candidate for the long-awaited update for wiikey was delivered on Friday night to some of our beta testers. This is the final step to releasing the highly anticipated and long delayed update for wiikey.

In all development work there are unforeseeable delays, and wiikey is no exception. We would like to thank our loyal customers for their support and patience!"

This announcement should definately be taken with a grain of salt. For all anyone knows this could just be another broken promise from the Wiikey team. There is however one glimmer of hope to the legitimacy of the update. Eurasia.nu is apparently one of the testers of the update, and has posted this on their website:

"We have received WiiKey Update RC1 and are currently testing it on a D2A console. Regarding the GameCube audio fix feature we have checked [updated] Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem, The Naruto Games, Wave Race: Blue Storm, The Legend of Zelda Collectors Edition, Super Monkey Ball, Resident Evil 1 so far and they work fine. Thanks goes to Schweino for pointing out problem titles. More tests and screenshots to follow, stay tuned…"

Guess we'll all have to sit back and see how this all pans out.
