New Get Game? Only on the Shop Channel, apparently
Looks like there aren’t any new physical media games coming out so close to Christmas, but over on the downloadable side of things it’s a different story. Frobot is now available for WiiWare and there’s even a free demo. It’s a fun little game that sort of reminds me of Robotron 2084. And if the recent Wii Party didn’t float your boat, the N64 classic Mario Party 2 is...

Official Tron message board: Did you see it?

If so, swing back here after you watch it and let us know what you thought. As for me, I think it’s better than The Matrix, and a lot more fun. 1000x better than the original Tron. You?

Club Nintendo shop gets a lot cuter
This might be my favorite item to appear in the Club Nintendo reward shop to date. Cripes, this is dangerously adorable. Two sets of patches (the other features Kirby and Prince Fluff) join some nifty-looking washcloth things (Nintendo calls them towels, but…c’mon, they’re not even ten inches square!) for your shopping enjoyment. Is it just me, or has the shop gotten a lot more i...
