Just Dance: Can 2 million people be wrong?
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YTtLu5JO7o[/youtube] Ubisoft surprised the gaming industry last month (myself included), announcing that Just Dance had sold 2 million copies worldwide in fewer than four months, making it the fastest selling third-party Wii game ever. “The consumer response to Just Dance has been overwhelming,” said Ubisoft’s Tony Key at the time. “...
Update: My experience with Netflix on the Wii
About two weeks back I happened to receive a free Netflix disc for the Nintendo Wii that came with a perk of a free month of service from Nintendo themselves. I already had a Netflix account so the free month of service actually was pretty cool perk. I was in doubt about how well the service would work on the Wii; seeing as how I already use Netflix on my Xbox360. My mom on the other had, has neve...
Coincidence
My Wii Netflix disc happened to ship the same day I cancelled my Xbox Live Gold account (I was really only using it to stream Netflix movies). Which reminds me, anyone else in Infendo land having a Wii Netflix disc shipped to them? Why or why not? Lack of HD an issue? Having to use a physical disc is an annoyance? All decent arguments, and I’m just trying to get a sense of what a Nintendo co...
Miyamoto states the obvious, still makes news
Leave it to the trigger-happy video games media to take generic quotes from an industry master and turn them into a story. Case in point, this happened over the weekend: Miyamoto: “My best is yet to come” Nintendo general manager wants Wii 2 to be “unique” and hints at new Starfox New Star Fox! Wii HD, could be cool! Cats and dogs living in harmony! Naturally, none of these fantasies will be hap...
Link invades 3D Dot Game Heroes, a Zelda knock off game for PS3
As seen on Game Informer. Man does this game look fun. Bring it to Wii, Atlus!
Apple Beat Nintendo to a Unified Gaming Network…For Shame
Alright, I know this isn’t an Apple blog, but today’s iPhone OS 4.0 announcement brought us word that Apple is working on a unified social gaming network. That’s right, Apple beat Nintendo to it, leaving Nintendo the only major competitor in the market that doesn’t have one. PS3 & PSP: Playstation Network X-Box 360: X-Box Live iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch: Game Center PC: Ste...
Zelda team “under considerable pressure” to match Monster Hunter graphics
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XvxNCyUGJk[/youtube] No one makes better-looking games for Nintendo platforms than Nintendo. Unless of course you’re Capcom, working on the upcoming Monster Hunter Tri for Wii. “Looking at the graphics objectively, I feel like Monster Hunter Tri’s visuals are a representative example of what can be done on Wii,” Nintendo president Sa...
New Game Get: Nothing to see here
No really, there’s nothing even remotely interesting coming to either Wii or DS this week. So, uh, what are you going back to?
Review – Monster Hunter 3 demo
I picked up the entirely free demo disc from GameStop this week for Monster Hunter 3 (or Tri, not sure what I’m supposed to call it). While I applaud this type of marketing, I think they missed a good opportunity to convince me to buy the game. Based on what I’ve read or seen, this game had me very excited. The disc comes with a fold-out control guide, which is fine, but doesn...
Tatanga invades Super Mario Galaxy 2
Tatanga (A.K.A. Tatanga the Mysterious Spaceman) is an alien invader who once conquered Sarasaland. Although he is acknowledged as an invader, in appearance he looks like a meek purple alien. During the events of Super Mario Land, Tatanga captured Princess Daisy, the princess of Sarasaland, and ordered his armies to guard the land’s four kingdoms. Yet according to a Nintendo press release ea...
Micro-review – Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon
Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon for Wii has great graphics and sound, but the gameplay is terrible (pronounced “turrible” as Cleveland Brown would say it). Â I would’ve rather watched this as a movie than play it as a game.
Does Other M stand for the Other Metroid?
Is this what ‘Other M’ really stands for? The Other Metroid?
