Youtube Tuesday – Touching Holograms
Came across this video about touching holograms with the use of Wii Motes on technology review. I have to say, the Wii has some awesome and interesting capabilities when not used as a game device.
Behold, Nintendo’s inflatable horse Wii controller
Hey look, it’s a creepy man child riding an inflatable video game controller. He’s playing some kind of horseback riding game, and having a hell of a time at it too! Woo! And what’s this? What’s this you say? It was filed by Nintendo? Completely not shocked. Not shocked in the slightest. This is 100% real by the way. Looks like we have a nice, early look at the E3 2010 keyn...

New color, new game contribute to Wii resurgence
Sorry, kids, the bubble hasn’t burst just yet. Earlier this week, we brought you word that Nintendo would probably never, ever give the Wii a price drop, even though the Xbox 360 has a basic model that’s currently $50 cheaper than the Wii and sales have slumped slightly in recent months. To better understand why Nintendo will never entertain the idea of a price drop anytime soon, consi...

Rumor: Netflix streaming coming to Wii, iPhone very soon
