Another DS update? Gut reaction to this rumor (“rumeur” in this case) is “say it isn’t so” but again let’s look a bit deeper. This yearly update approach works for Apple and for cell phone manufacturers, because they have established, successful products. These updates aren’t aimed at people who already have a DS Lite, they’re aimed at fence sitters ...

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axFolfVCdRU]A comment at Joystiq put it succinctly: “The Wii has revealed the stupidity of the human species.” Very true. First it was the wrist straps and flying Wiimotes, and now this. However, having had my Wii sensor bar made useless by a curious (and soon to be extinct) cat, I also use candles to power my Wiimote now. Works perfectly, and co...

Three new Virtual Console releases in North America today: Tennis (NES®, 1-2 players, 500 Wii Points): Players slam a serve, fire a blazing backhand and smash a forehand volley on their way to winning the victory cup. Space Harrier II™ (Sega Genesis, 1 player, 800 Wii Points): Fantasyland has been taken over by destructive forces, and a call for help comes from deep in the universe. Military Ma...

Infendo regular Josh D. tips us today that Wii Weather is set to go live this week on Dec. 20, thereby granting us all the god-like power of being able to manipulate weather-related menus and a virtual globe with our Wiimotes. Anyway, Dec. 20 is the magic day. Rain or shine. See what I did there?

N-Europe translates a Jeux-France rumor suggesting the DS will see yet another redesign hitting Japan sometime in 2007. Little is implied other than the fact that both screens will likely see an increase in size. PSP big? Would be nice, but if true, let’s hope this thing stays portable. No concrete sources, so let’s play wait and see on this. I’d be surprised, however, if Nintend...

Found this awesome homemade Wii t-shirt on Flickr. Other than helping word of mouth sales of Wii, it’s sure to be a great conversation piece or ice breaker… for nerds like you and me.

No it didn’t. Nice photo art commentary on the recent Wii situation, though. 🙂

They have a meaner stare, too. Alright, i hit a nerve when i griped about Elebits missing the Wii launch. Sue me, i was bummed. But now Elebits is here to wash the tears away, and Madden be damned, i bought it. E-bits was never a game that i had a large vested interest in. What drew me to it initially was how original it was and how it used Wii’s remote, which was enough for it to stand out ...

Looks like some folks at a store in Salt Lake City* are hoping for a last chance at getting a Wii before Christmas. If you’re among the Wii-less, do you hope to get one this weekend? *where it’s less than 30ºF with a chance of 3-7″ of snow tonight! [Sent by marko at 8:15PM Eastern time tonight. Thanks!]

Motley Fool reports on Nintendo’s impressive current run to own the video game market once again: “The one-two punch of the DS and the Wii will be difficult [for Sony] to overcome. In fact, the Wii’s unique controller system is panning out as one heck of an innovation, almost turning every game into a must-play story.”
