Super Mario Galaxy 2 not a true sequel
I’m not sure if you guys know this, but I am the underground-know-it-all of the site. I have to be well versed in all types of hacking, modding, homebrew, emulators, programs and everything of the sort. While many of you must be saying “Will, you are coming out and saying your a dirty pirate!?” I am doing nothing of the sort, and I am only saying this to justify my findings. Sinc...
Has a Wii port ever blown someone away?
This just in: A Wii developer that wants you to buy their game has said in an interview that Call of Duty: Black Ops “will blow you away,” while trying to be “as similar as possible” to HD versions of the game. Ironic, huh?
Whatever happened to online Wii games?
I still remember the day I put in Mario Strikers Charged and had my first online match. At the time, it was the only Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection game available for Wii. The DS got the honor of being Nintendo’s first online-enabled system, but I really expected the Wii to take it to the next level. There have been a few good steps in that direction, like the Nintendo Channel, Netflix on Wii...

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...
How come Wii is so small?
Nintendo president Satoru Iwata reportedly asked his team of industrial designers to make the Wii no taller or wider than three stacked DVD cases. The result, as you know, is probably the sleekest video game console ever made. Have you ever wondered why that is? I suspect, as I’m sure most do, that Iwata felt the smaller design would appeal more to consumers already familiar with sleek and s...

Nintendo: “Games and content are specific to each Wii, not users”
Want to upgrade your Wii to the new black? Then you’ll have to hold on to your old Wii to play previously purchased games, forfeit them altogether, or buy them a second time, Wired reports. “It shows extreme lack of foresight on their part,” says Wii owner Nathan Gillmore. “Did they really think the general public would be content to have all of their purchased content boun...
