Who wanted the Wii to launch sooner rather than later? Now put your hands down. An October launch would have been nice, but it is clear that a November launch is better. Hands-on previews and developer interviews have show that the Wii’s launch titles have a lot of potential, but could use a bit more time to refine controls, improve texture quality, and fix a few bugs. This is always crunch ...

Dear Nintendo, Thank you, thank you, thank you. You left us in the dark for so long, but in the end, that only made the light so much sweeter. Yesterday’s announcements proved once and for all that you own my soul. I’m sure many gamers feel the same way. Even though you probably won’t read this, and even if you did it would affect you about as much as the looming PS3 affects me (...

Have I seemed a bit grumpy and overly critical of Nintendo lately, especially during such a momentous announcement as the Wii one from yesterday? Maybe.

And yet, I’m still kind of pissed off ”“ but not about what you’d think. I’m ticked off at the response of the “gamer population” as a whole. The Internet is a g...

I think it’s obvious why, but I also think the move is bush league. I’ll be getting the Wii version for sure, but I’m also an advocate for publishing content in as many cost effective ways as a...

If you’re like me, a lot of you are wondering about the hot, white, iMac-ish, screen that’s being used in all of the recent Wii videos on wii.com. It stands to reason that for the ease of shooting demos, this screen probably has a Wiimote sensor bar built in, or at least mounted to it in some way, and what looks like a it’s even visible in some angles of the videos. Since “...

On the day-of-days for Wii news, IGN comes up with this Megaton bomb for FPS lovers: “As we played a new single-level demo of the Prime 3 at Nintendo’s Wii event in New York City, the game’s designers came upon and told us that we absolutely needed to try the new ‘expert’ control mode. They explained that they hoped it would satisfy our cravings for first-person maneu...
