Why do elite development teams avoid Wii?
Industry analysis and corporate hyperbole aside, there is something to be said for logic. Nothing deductive or philosophical, either. Just simple, basic logic.

Tecmo Bowl decides fate of Super Bowl teams
Madden who? Madden what? The real football game, as any child of the 80’s and 90’s can tell you, is Tecmo Super Bowl. So, while EA fuddles around with its fledgling Madden title to determine who’ll win this Sunday’s Super Bowl, the ArmchairGM used the classic NES football title (with ROM-updated rosters) to put the New England Patiorts and the New York Giants to the test Ul...

Wii Remote finishes second in battery face-off
I was tasked with comparing Wii, 360, and PS3 battery performance for a GamePro feature that was published today. I say tasked because it was required that I played more than 110 hours of video games in a short period of time, the most I’ve ever played since high school. But I digress, the Wii Remote lasted longer than expected, and as you know, is highly customizable for even better perform...

Of course, there’s no resell value or transferability of VC games, but if your looking to pop the lid on classic gaming experiences, Nintendo’s dig...

Are you satisfied with the progression?
Smash Brothers Obtained- Requires update?
If you check Kotaku and some other gameblogs, you may have noticed photos of lines of people outside Yodobashi Camera and other major game-retailers this morning (that’s Japan time) to get their hands on the first copies of Super Smash Brothers Brawl (okay and Devil May Cry). I actually couldn’t even reserve a copy of the game, they ended pre-res at my local Momotaro (think Gamestop in...
Opinion: Death to blockbuster AAA video game titles!
