Wii Homebrew coder Wil recently updated his Wii Solitaire homebrew, bumping it up to version 0.4. This update adds some new functionality, though some of it is still undergoing testing.

For those who haven't heard of it, Wii Solitaire is essentially a Solitaire game for your Wiis which uses he motion sensing capabilities of the Wii to drag and drop cards into their proper places. There are multiple game modes depending on the game style you're used to.

Here are the changes made in Wii Solitaire v0.4:

• Scoring and Time Keeping
• Scoring right now is, for the most part, useless. However, it is there, albeit mostly incomplete. It will also keep the time you have played the game for.
• Multiple Gametypes
• Origional Solitaire, Vegas Solitaire, and Free Play are selectable game types. See descriptions above.
• Choosing Dealing Number
• You can choose the number of cards that will be dealt out at one time from the Stock now. You may choose either 1 card or 3 card.
• Winning Screen
• When you win, a little animation appears and you are called a Winner.
• Deck Dealing Animation
• The Stock now "shuffles" before it deals each card out like you would a real solitaire game.
• ROUGH Options
• When you start up Wii Solitaire, if you have an SD card, you are asked if you would like to create an options file. Within this options file there are currently six options to choose from. Only three of the options have been completed and may be edited by hand: Deck Dealing Animation, Mouseover Rumble, and 16:9 Video Stretching. 0 = Off, 1 = On. The .ini is located in the same folder as the boot.elf file.
• Playing Tips
• When you first use Wii Solitaire and if you created a new settings file you will be greeted with Playing Tips on your first game. These explain the essentials of Solitaire and provide a few tips to successfully complete a game.
