A very large, Rupert Murdoch-pwned corporate video game site seems unable to grasp the reason why Nintendo’s marketing push for the Wii has not materialized in full less than one month before the North American launch. Oh sure, there are a few scattered billboards here and there, and there’s that Target cabinet in place of where the GameCube once was, but to date there hasn’t bee...
Like that disease Valtrex loves to fight, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (GC version) has resurfaced again even after an Australian pub started flinging rumors about its demise faster than an angry monkey armed with poo at the San Diego Zoo. That’s right, it’s back on the front burner with official word from Nintendo: “Online reports about the Nintendo GameCube version of...
Looks like the Nintendo World Store in NYC has Wii kiosks setup, though not playable (yet). Any New Yorkers not watching the Mets tonight want to stop by? Click the source link for (2) additional images.

Our attention was captured when Nintendo showed us how we would control games on their revolutionary new system. It was weird, it was white, and it was going to be fun. The system even had a cool name that most people liked. Just as everyone was getting comfortable with what the Revolution would entail, the name was changed to Wii. The Internet erupted in a flurry of polls, petitions, and lengthy ...
Rumor: Unconfirmed reports suggest that GameStop received a memo today terminating the future sale of Zelda: Twilight Princess for the GameCube this December, at least at its stores. No word if the memo is substantiated and/or if it will affect the version’s chances at seeing the light of day through other retailers.
Someone please tell me where I can get one of these…
SiliconEra has put together a nice article outlining and comparing exclusive titles for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii. Problem is, their site takes a long time to load. Some of the titles might be slightly out-of-date (not sure if “Wii Motor Sports Airplane” might now be part of “Wii Play”), but overall it’s quite an impressive example of the fun stuff the other gu...

When it comes to controlling your imaginary farm of Pokemons on the Wii do motion sensing controls not cut it? No worries, just toss that Wiimote over to me and break out your DS! While finding an Irishman in Ireland might have been a bit more surprising than this latest news, controlling Poekmon Battle Revolution with the DS is still something intesting to note, as it details how this feature cou...
This sucker looks way more polished than the build I played at E3 back in May. From the synopsis: “The developers of the Nintendo Wii version of Madden 2007 give an explanation of some of the things new and different in the Wii version of the game. A good look at how the controls work and how the game will help teach new players to learn the new control scheme.” Whether you like the ga...
Take all of those wild ideas you had about flailing your arms about willy-nilly like a rag doll and attacking complete strangers with a Wiimote at your local Wal-Mart and throw them away, because they aren’t coming true. Not with the Wally Mart gestapo camped out right next to you. Say what, you say? Well, the Wiire is reporting that those Wii kiosks (which we may or may not have seen alread...
