EIDOS RESOLVES RARE NINTENDO Wii BUG
Copyright 2008 www.tombraiderchronicles.com

[ November 26th 2008 ]

Eidos has released both PAL and NTSC fixes in the form of a gamesave which resolves an intermittent issue with Tomb Raider Underworld on the Nintendo Wii platform. It's worth noting that despite the ramblings of a few online journalists, few cases have been reported and the game can be completed normally.

Customers who experience the bug in the Thailand segment of the game should download the gamesave to an SD card or restart their level. In all cases, this has resolved the issue and the game can be completed normally.

Tomb Raider Underworld on Nintendo Wii includes a bevy of exclusive content including level design and environmental challenges designed to take advantage of the unique capabilities of the Wii Remote and Nunchuk, a multi-tool kit featuring a compressed air gun, acetylene torch, chisel and pliers, an active aim combat system and full camera control.

1. Unzip tombraiderunderworld_wii_pal.zip

5. Go to the Wii Options -> Select Save Data -> Select Wii -> Select SD Card.

Cool, maybe by Friday we will get a PC/PS3 Patch and an Xbox Patch i think.

Just to emphasise it is really rare. I know a few (unlucky) guys here have experienced it (and I'm sorry about that

), but the game went through four separate QA departments (Eidos, Crystal D, Buzz Monkey and Nintendo) and the bug wasn't recreated. We've only had seven calls to Customer Services about it in the UK, and using a previous save or one of those that Eidos has provided will fix the issue.

If for some reason it doesn't please send me a PM so we can help.
