Wii sucks the life out of Japanese television
Now this is an interesting angle/side effect to the wild success of the Wii. Apparently, not one show on any commercial Japanese station managed to attain more than a 9% share of audience viewing figures last week. “It’s something that hasn’t happened for nearly twenty years,” The Times reports. “The quality of programming has always been a little cyclical in Japan, but the...

E3 Link Dump, courtesy 4cr
Rumas over at 4cr has done the hard work this morning, assembling more than a dozen links to Nintendo E3 content–including videos, interviews, screenshots and a slew of hands-on impressions of Mario and Metroid (the first paragraph in the Metroid one is interesting, to say the least…). You can find 4cr’s linkage here and here, and you can wash the drool off of your mouth after th...
More on Metroid Prime 3… (hint: the controls are revolutionary)
In journalism, you really need at least three sources to comment on something before you can go to print. Ok, I kind of made that up. Back on task, there are no fewer than three pretty well known sources saying Metroid Prime 3 is the FPS game to get. The controls, simply, are amazing. The visuals, very pretty. I think we all know now why Reggie and Iwata and Miyamoto didn’t talk much about t...

Metroid Prime 3 is ‘mind blowing’
The only negative Chris Kohler of Game|Life could find with Metroid Prime 3 was some of the on screen button layouts, as fas as I could tell. The “Wired” list dwarfs the “Tired” list 4-1. Game|Life: Is Metroid Prime 3 going to be the FPS of the year? Well. Nintendo says so. I don’t think any serious person would advance such a theory unless Halo 3’s single-playe...
Mario Galaxy to feature bee suit
I remember whenever I’d get a frog or Tanooki suit from a yellow mushroom house in Super Mario Bros. 3, I’d hoard it in my inventory and never use it. I never thought I’d find another one, and all it took was one hit from a hammer brother and the suit was history. Before I knew it though, I’d be in a world with no water. I’d panic, activate the frog suit where I shoul...
Wii Balance Board accessory overload — works for me
Who out there thought they heard a collective groan when Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime revealed yet another accessory at the E3 presentation yesterday? It probably happened right about the time he pulled out a steering wheel and promised it would help unskilled gamers kick veteran gamer ass in Mario Kart Wii (online, natch). Heck, I’m betting that collective groan was probab...

E3 begins with a yawn. Can Nintendo save it?
The more I watch the recaps of Microsoft’s E3 presentation and the GameTrailers Killzone 2 footage, the more I find myself agreeing with Infendo contributor Malstrom. I usually agreed with ol’ Mal when he wrote over at The Wiikly, but more recently he said something in a column here at Nintendo that managed to coalesce all the thoughts in my head into one easy to swallow morsel. That m...
