I forget, but wasn't it an inside joke? Isn't there some other game where there's such a display room that also contains an enemy only found there?

It's for the My Music menu. You can change the probability of what song plays on the menu.

Very nice. I guess the oddly large delay between Japanese and English releases proves to be quite beneficial for us! Now we have all these fun tools to play around with once it comes out!

So can one extract the preview image from a custom stage file? If so, that should make custom stage sharing even better! I wonder if there's a website to upload and download custom stages to/from yet...

Very nice! Almost exactly what I imagined the GUI interface to look like! Except the window doesn't resize itself to fit the image when you load one in... And there's no .bin filter on the file chooser. That would make finding and opening the screenshots a bit easier.

Is there a .exe or otherwise a nice GUI interface for running the bin2jpg converter yet? The online version is nice and easy to use, but I'm not sure everyone knows their way around command prompt...

Yeah, you have to execute the file from the command prompt to do them one at a time. It's easier to just do it that way.

Which makes me wonder if you'll have to put down the $50 deposit to use the Remotes like you have to to play the demo station.

You make it sound like it's impossible to play with the Wiimote. Everyone will be using the Wiimote, so there's no reason not to go. And maybe if you're lucky, you'll win a T-Shirt :D

Presumably, it's so that everyone will be on even grounds.

$500 CAD, actually. Which at the moment is worth a few fractions of a cent more than USD.

Hey, the grand prize is a trip to the Nintendo World Store for a $500 shopping spree! Nice! Random only may seem a bit off, but at least it's a situation where my "Be okay with everyone" style of playing might pay off!

Probably, but playing with those would be a bit harder.

Ah, that puts a wrinkle in it. And that style of encryption is designed so that it should be impossible to figure out the key by looking at the encrypted and decrypted files... I hope we can figure it out. Maybe in time for the English release, so we can start sharing all kinds of fun screen...

Er, they converted the images into jpegs, isn't that the last step in getting down how the images work?
