New Game Get – Nintendo releases for the week ending September 27th

Wow, this list is HUGE!  Look for most of the release lists to be fairly large from now until the end of the year, folks.  High profile games this week include Kirby Super Star Ultra, SimCity Creator, Lego Batman, de Blob, Wario Land: Shake It!, Disgaea, and Samba de Amigo … not to mention Mega Man 9 coming out on Monday!  I’d also like to point out to any Wallace & Gromit fans ...

Nintendo marketing Wario Land at Six Flags

Ah, the smells of a bustling amusement park on a sunny fall afternoon, the air thick with the welcoming scent of funnel cakes, popcorn and…flatulence.

This title will sell on its own. More screens in a new gallery at WiiFanboy.

The Onion: Wario Lemieux steals Red Wings Stanley Cup

The Onion does it again. I’m thinking they have a few game-playing Nintendo lovers over in that crazy office of theirs.

Snagging a Wii on “Black Friday”

I told Blake once I arrived in Japan I would do a guide to buying the Wii- which was still quite sought-after when I left the US.
