Teamcyclops announces its Wii modchip

While we’re still speculating on whether Team Ninja’s modchip for the Wii is the real deal, in comes this news bit on something equally interesting. Teamcyclops has just announced the upcoming release of its very own mod chip which, much like its Wiinja counterpart, allows the console to play GameCube and Wii backups.

As for the other details surrounding this chip:

• Quicksolder (no wires required)
• Plays Wii Backups
• Plays GC Backups
• Play GC Homebrew
• Play GC Imports (swap needed)
• Built-in Audiofix (GC games using streaming are working flawlessly, no patch needed)
• DVD-R / DVD+R support
• Optional chip disable wire
• Stealth even when chip is enabled
• Multi-purpose LED

Further reports say that this chip may be shipping in by next week, though there has not been any news on a set price. The team’s site isn’t up yet though, so we’re going to have to file this under rumor for now. We advise the hopefuls to keep track of this development in case any further news turns up. For now, take you pick on similar announcements in the past…
