EA: Wii weaker than expected, needs more games
Last week we learned that Nintendo President of Japan Satoru Iwata felt the Wii is not in a “healthy” state and with the release of Electronic Art’s earning report yesterday it seems that EA, being the most prolific third party publisher on the Wii, can’t seem to avoid having the same feelings. Although EA is making the most profit with the Wii than any other console, ...

Hands On: Dementium 2 [DS]
A few weeks ago I met with Aubrey, who is a Product Manager at SouthPeak Games, and she gave me a run down on everything Dementium II. If anyone remembers the first game Demetium: the ward, which was released during Halloween of 2007, it was the first attempt at bringing horror style gaming to the hand held market. Built around a first person engine, Demetium focused on grit, gore, mystery and bri...

I swear things marketed towards the younger audiences are really creepy… sometimes. Yet… It’s strangely awesome in it’s own way. [Via WiiWaa World]
Dhani Harrison to redegisn controller, make all my Rock Band dreams come true
Something has always bothered me about guitar rhythm games: we’re spending all this time to pretend to play a guitar when we could actually be playing a guitar. I felt a little better when drums were thrown into the mix that was actually somewhat like playing the drums – but the guitar? It felt like a waste of effort. Not anymore. Son of Beatles Guitarist George Harrison, Dhani, reveal...

SMT: Strange Journey goes Back to its Roots
Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey is the newly announced game in a long running series that had its roots on the Super Nintendo. They’re going back to its first-person RPG, an even thought it’s set in a futuristic space like setting we can expect all the demonic things that were present in the classic. Hit the jump to see a video of the classic Shin Megami Tensei for the Super Ninten...
Spore Hero: Almost Something Special, but not
Once upon a time, there was a nice colorful peaceful planet filled with nice, colorful, peaceful creatures who liked to sing, dance, and fight for sport – until one day, twin meteors fell from the sky, crashing on the planet surface. One meteor brought an evil presence set on corrupting the planet – the other brought a small, charming, heroic creature whom would always live in the sh...
Nintendo denies WiiHD, dings analyst
Nintendo’s own Reggie Fils-Aime openly declared to GameTrailers TV that the Wii HD simply does not exist: Reggie: Michael [Pachter] continues to be the only one who believes that this is gonna happen. I don’t know how forcefully we can say there is no Wii HD. Keighley: It’s not coming, period? Reggie: No. [As Transcribed by Kotaku] And a ding at Michael Pachter! Kudos Reggie R...
Whew!
The last remaining qualm I may have had with this game just went away like a smashed Goomba. [L]et’s make one thing clear: NSMBW is absolutely brilliant in single-player. While trailers and on-stage demonstrations focused on the game’s new multiplayer element, this is a single-player Mario game in exactly the same vein as its classic predecessors, only with the option to slap three mor...
