Is the world ready for” Wii 2″?
This weekend I spent most of my free time finishing Portal 2, Valve Software’s brilliant new first person puzzler. While playing, I couldn’t help but to think of how awesome puzzles from Portal 2 would be in say Skyward Sword. Problem is, the Wii simply does not have the horsepower to do the things that Portal 2 does. Once the credits began to roll, and the endgame song began to play ...
Wii no longer worth stealing?
Mike from Kotaku was robbed over the weekend. The perpetrators took all his home entertainment electronics — including Xbox 360, PS3, 42″ TV — with exception to one, his Wii. “Why did criminals hell-bent on stripping my entertainment center bare of every piece of electronics bypass the little white box with the glowing blue light on it?” he writes. “Was it an in...

Sources: Nintendo to announce HD console this summer for release later next year
Just as the Wii is seriously cooling down, Game Informer reports, citing multiple sources, that Nintendo will announce a “competitive” HD console at E3 “this summer, if not sooner.” From the report: In fact, Nintendo is already showing publishers the system in an effort to get them interested and allow them plenty of time to start developing titles in anticipation of the sy...
Further proof you’re better off playing back catalog Wii games
Metacritic can’t even list 25 in their quarterly “25 best reviewed games” list. And the top 5 are lacking to say the least. Oh well, at least Wii-only owners have a large back catalog of sweet games to play. But for those looking for new stuff, it’s slim pickings. Think it will ever pick back up?

What’s the biggest blip on your radar?
I gotta go Zelda: Skyward Sword, if only because it’s Zelda, it’s being overseen by Miyamoto, and it’s director by the same guy that did Minish Cap, the most underrated Zelda of all time. Either that or another upcoming Zelda: Ocarina 3D. What about you? What’s the biggest blip on your gaming radar?
