Convicts being “treated” with Wii
Instead of punching license plates when serving hard time, convicts at the UK’s top-security Broadmoor Hospital are being “treated” with Wii Sports and Wii Fit. With 22 newly purchased Wii consoles hooked up to plasma TVs, Broadmoor has more smiles packed in it than a Chuck E. Cheese’s. A spokesperson for Broadmoor noted that while Wii Sports and their other “Xbox and...

New Game Get makes some resolutions
So the plan for the New Year is to get Fast Food Panic for the DS and then shed some pounds with My Fitness Coach 2. Nah, you’re probably better off getting the SNES game Final Fight 3. Click on in for the full list.
Reminiscing peripherals: Super Game Boy
Serving as a precursor to the Game Boy Player, the Super Game Boy sold for $60 in 1994. Appearing like a tall SNES cartridge, the attachment could playback Game Boy games with a limited color pallet. Yet another useful Nintendo peripheral I regret passing on. For those who own(ed) one, do share your experience with us lesser creatures in the comments. Was it worth it? How were the colors? Were the...
Things I do when I am really Bored Some say that doing Pixel Art is boring, well they’re wrong!
When I am having a rough time drawing or thinking up how to write an article or an essay I usually mess around with pixel art. No, I am not opening MS Paint or some other program to plot dot after dot, I am working on a grand scale here. I take huge colored icon squares and place them on a plain background either dark grey, or light grey, and just go to town. While this probably not the most produ...
Bit.Trip Void is best trip yet
I spent some time playing the WiiWare game Bit.Trip Void over the holiday break and I have to say, this is the best game in the Bit.Trip series so far. I really enjoyed the creativity and challenge of the first two titles (Bit.Trip Beat and Core), but something about the growing and shrinking void in this game really makes me smile. I was a big fan of Art Style Orbient, too, so maybe growing a...

What was your first Nintendo system?
Excluding a couple of early Game & Watches I acquired through a toy trade with a friend, my moms bought my brother and I the NES PowerPad Bundle with orange Zapper included! Dateline: 1988. With exception to the N64, which spawned during my personal hiatus from games, I’ve owned and enjoyed every system since. What was your first Nintendo system?
