Knock out: Infendo reviews Punch-Out for Wii
Developer Next Level Games must have studied Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out for years. Because they have recaptured the spirit of that classic game and revived it with slick presentation, tight controls, and fresh perspective in the all-new Punch-Out for Wii.

“The Nintendo Difference” at E3 2001 was mangled Japanese
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUcWsCtZkS8[/youtube] While researching E3’s past, I stumbled upon the above video. It is described as showing, “an idiot from a fansite asking Miyamoto the first question at Nintendo’s 2001 E3 press conference in unbelievably bad Japanese.” Reputedly after Miyamoto and company laughed off the embarrassment, the reporter repeated the ...
Bethesda announcing ‘really big Wii game’ this year
Great and interesting Wii news today, as I’ve loved Fallout 3 and its DLC. I just hope it’s not the huge, buggy mess that Bethesda titles have become known for in recent years.
