This slick-looking WiiWare game has potential
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjY3K8CU-vU[/youtube] “Last Flight isn’t a serious action adventure game with a troubled character on his quest to redemption,” says producer Marcin Kawa. ” It’s a parody laughing at all those games. It’s a game that makes fun of all this nonsense found in other so-called serious games. You won’t find anything like t...
In case you missed it, Zelda: Skyward Sword is being directed by one of my favorites
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5V_nauQ5gk[/youtube] His name: Hidemaro Fujibayashi. Other games he’s directed: The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages/Seasons, The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords and… wait for it… The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap (aka my favorite 2D Zelda ever)! Eiji Aonuma, the go-to console director of late, is great. But I’m anxious to see where Fu...

I’d rather be playing NES right now
I walked into my office this afternoon especially low on motivation. Then I spotted my dogbone controller on my window ledge, where it always sits, and suddenly had the urge to rewind the clock and play NES: Ninja Gaiden, Metroid, Kirby’s Adventure, Mega Man 2, Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out, Contra, Zelda, Mario 3’take your pick. Unfortunately, I was unable to. But watching parts of the above...
Kirby’s Epic Yarn trailer worth a second look
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqcvM_MiREo[/youtube]Not only is Kirby’s Epic Yarn adorable, the creative zipper and screen-pull gameplay looks crazy fun. That and Kirby’s Adventure is one of the most under-rated Nintendo games of all time. So mark your calendars: Epic Yarn arrives this October on Wii.

Best-looking Nintendo game at E3
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ui3vd-8nTvQ[/youtube]After the 3DS, this is the best-looking thing Nintendo showed today. Seriously. Those graphics are just begging to be played.
Super Mario Galaxy 2 isn’t as awesome as an all-new Mario, but it’s still an awesome game
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yat9LvFtixs[/youtube] When I fire up a new Mario game, I expect to be wowed by an entirely new experience. Which is why it’s difficult for me to recommend Super Mario Galaxy 2 to anyone seeking all-new digs. I’ve played it. Still haven’t beat it. But I think it’s best described as the most creative expansion pack ever released as a st...
Here’s the Netflix commercial to promote streaming movies on Wii
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0Qjqt1UqAw[/youtube] One million people instantly stream Netflix movies on Wii. With more than 70 million systems in the wild, however, Netflix wants that to number to be much higher. So they released a cute little parody commercial in an effort to get the word out.
Early high praise alert! Super Mario Galaxy 2
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71z267y-Qro[/youtube] Via Metacritic: Edge Magazine (100%): “Marvel at the pieces, but appreciate the whole. This isn’t a game that redefines the genre: this is one that rolls it up and locks it away.” Game Informer (93%): “Super Mario Galaxy 2 throws something new at you nearly every single level – and with over 240 stars to co...
