Who’s ready for Super Mario Galaxy?!
I should think that, in a year’s time, we’ll look back on the launch of Super Mario Galaxy as the true beginning of the Wii’s rise to dominance. Sure, it’s got the hardware numbers, and has three top 10 software titles right now, but this is just the tip of the iceberg. To kick off the SMG coverage that’s sure to inundate the Net over the next few weeks, GameDaily has...
Nintendo NES repairs are no more
There was a slight disturbance in the force today, as countless NES systems cried out simultaneously at the thought of never being able to access professional Nintendo-provided support ever again. For the past 24 years, Nintendo has provided repairs for the console that started it all, but this week a spokesman told Agence France Presse that the company has decided to end support due to increasing...
Weigh In – Looney Tunes: Duck Amuck
I grew up watching Looney Tunes, Popeye, and pretty much every classic cartoon there ever was. It was always a special thrill when the Duck Amuck short would come on Saturday morning TV. When I heard that an entire game based around the toon was coming to DS, I thick I actually tittered out loud. The game was practically everything I expected. Daffy appears on screen and you poke him with ...
Assassin’s Creed DS to feature .. raccoons!?
The differences between Assasin’s Creed on the PS3 and what it will eventually look like on the DS sometime in 2008 are legion, I’m sure. Graphics? Take whatever comparisons and trash talking were made between the PS3 and Wii in 2006 and add a healthy dose of HGH. The sound? The DS might as well be a Game & Watch in this situation, no offense to the great Gunpei Yokoi. Controls? Hm...

Weigh In – Thrillville: Off the Rails (Wii)
Being a big fan of the RollerCoaster Tycoon series of PC games, I figured that Thrillville: Off The Rails for Wii would be a big hit for me. Nope. The game makes little to no sense. You’re a kid that runs an amusement park, picking your look in a Sims like configuration when you start the game. I assume this would appeal to someone under the age of 13, but then the game includes a bunch of p...
GamePro leg humps Super Mario Galaxy
An excerpt from an early published Super Mario Galaxy review — it’s glowing: Super Mario Galaxy raises the bar in terms of what can be achieved on the Wii. Galaxy is the kind of game that you’re going to want to take your time with because there is just so much to do in the game. This is the first game in a long time that I’ve actually gone back and replayed levels just for...
Nintendo Spotting: Nice cans, Mario
Mario, made of cans, for a charity event. That’s pretty much all I have to say about that. … Cans. Heh.
