More hot air from MS about a Wii60 Xmas
Oh Microsoft, if you weren’t such an evil empire overall I think I could honestly respect what your games division is trying to accomplish with the Xbox 360. Aside from those cheesey MTV marketing specials and world domination, of course. Via Next Generation and MS’s Peter Moore: “Dual platform ownership of Xbox 360 and Wii could be as high as 40% depending on what territory we are tal...
Nintendo, the Wii, and the gamer as designer
Who knew something as simple as designing a Mii character could get BusinessWeek off on a tangernt about Web 2.0 and “user-generated content?” Regardless, the article and the Web 2.0 buzzword thing got me thinking: Could gaming resemble YouTube someday? Well, not all of it, but could one day there be a “developer channel” in amongst the Wii Channels we’ll all experien...
Banjo-Kazooie jumps to Xbox 360
Today in Barcelona, at its X06 media briefing, Microsoft announced that Rare, Nintendo’s ex-lover, is making a new Banjo-Kazooie game for the Xbox 360.

"Wii is just like a member of the family!" (with Friend Codes…)
The recently translated interview between Iwata and his team of Nintendo engineers has been an interesting insight into what has gone into this new console. Today, another portion has been translated for the non-Japanese speaking public that covers the Wii Message Board. Or, as I like to call it now in a fit of dorkdom: One Wii Channel to rule them all. I say that because the interview shows this ...

Wii Opera browser to be FREE until July 2007
Nintendo and Opera are giving away the Wii browser for FREE until July 2007 as a special worldwide promotion. After which the browser will be sold on the Wii Shop Store for an undetermined amount of Wii points. While the gesture is nice, unless web browsing on Wii offers a more valuable experience than my trusty mouse and keyboard, I’ll be using my Wii exclusively for gaming.
