Not to be too misleading with the title, but a quick note to all who have registered for Console Messaging in the last month or two: our apologies, but you'll need to redo it. Even though you got a response today stating that you were registered, the databases were not updated and therefor, you were not registered. Stay tuned for more updates.

Big announcements from E3 this week, compressed into a small list: Nintendo's WiiSports Resort comes with a pack-in WiiMotion Plus, Dead Rising making it's way to the Wii, The Conduit will use WiiSpeak, a new Rayman Raving Rabbids party game, confirmed new Zelda, Mario and Pikmin games, Mega Man 9 in 8-bit glory, Wario Land, Mario Super Sluggers, updates on the Sin-City-esque Madworld, previously announced titles Animal Crossing: City Folk and WiiMusic, and last but not least... Xbox Miis? We tease.

Meanwhile, we've been toiling diligently over a long list of emails and bug reports. Your patience while issues have been being worked out is appreciated, and we hope this update makes your experience that much better while we continue to solve some of the issues not in this update. There will be a bigger update coming soon with even more new features and bug reports already in development.

New Features
- 'Uploads' are now consolidated in My Account area
- Blast Works uploads management
- New Badge: 'Blast Works Critic' (joining previously unannounced badges 'Mii Critic,' 'Mii Rater,' 'Blast Worker,' 'Pro Blast Worker,' 'Blast Works Artist,' and 'Blast Works 15 Minutes')

Bugs Fixed
- "Last Comment" on Miis
- Calendar fixed for users in affected timezones
- Forum 'Last Post' on new topics bug
- Delete comment bug (on Mii pages)
- 'Vote for Artist' button functions correctly once more

IGN awarded Blast Works with Game of the Month for June, beating out Rock Band! If you haven't given this shooter a shot, you may be missing out. For those of you who have picked it up, Destructoid.com is having a level design contest with a lot of good swag for prizes, so be sure to drop them a comment if you've got a cool level to submit!

In general site news, just some small tweaks, additions and bug fixes being made, and you may notice new icons, badges and links popping up all over the place. We've got an inbox full of bugs and we're doing everything possible to account for all of them.

There's some new Artist Profiles in the Artist Profile section, as pointed out to me by RedSoxFan. Check out Dylan, Roxii, and Crimson Fury's work and remarks.

Last, but certainly not least, there is a Mii design contest being organized by Dylan$513 in the Forums, and the prize is Furu Furu Park for the Wii, so if you've got some unseen Mii ideas, now's the time to shine.

Have a happy and safe 4th of July if you celebrate it.

Shooter fans, rejoice, Blast Works is now available at retail stores in the U.S. We hope to see some new users with the game's arrival and encourage everyone who enjoys shooters to pick it up or give it a rent, try it out, and download a few levels (or even create one). There's an introduction video in the Blast Works section if you are unsure of what the game is about or if it's a game you would enjoy.

Those affected by the game list bug may also rejoice, for it has been fixed. More updates and bug fixes are on their way.

Thanks to everyone sending in bug reports through the Contact link - we're handling them one by one and will get to all of them.

Please note that MSIE 6 has a lot of incompatibilities at the moment that are being worked on; please see the previous news post for supported browsers if these bugs are preventing you from enjoying the web site.

Thanks for your patience!
