Snowboarding The Shaun Way

in

So the Wii Fit balance board story did not come to an end with the Wii Fit console as it is. The Ubisoft is out with ‘Shaun White Snowboarding’, and is seemingly a bit too desperate to get its baby off its shelf, and while it does so, you can make the most of your Balance Board.

Master Your Beat

Just in case you weren’t yet filled with everything wireless and Wii, there is certainly more in the offering. Welcome Taiko Drum Master. Colloquially called the Taiko no Tatsujin, the game has its controller flashing away at the floors of the Tokyo game show.

Designed for arcade style gaming, the drum is a R&D from Namco. Though we are yet to see the device in its packaging, it’s a minor heartbreak to have the device without its promised Taiko themed stand. While it maybe a turn-on to know that the drum is wireless its self, and connects to the console through the classic Wiimote.

Nintendo MMO?

in

It's never looked like the massive multiplayer games could survive on a gaming console. There's something about a PC lends itself to all the hotkeys and such. Or, maybe that's just antiquated thinking. EA is looking toward the future of the Wii, and they believe it could be an MMO.

Dr. Mario Demo

in

You never see Nintendo demos, especially for Wii games. That's what makes the news of a Dr. Mario & Germ Buster demo so cool. What makes it a lot less cool is that it's only available right now to gamers in Europe and Australia.

I may be one of the few 80s babies who just can't stand Ted Nugent. The bow-hunting, the chauvinism, the...do I need to keep listing this man's ridiculous flaws? Nah. The one great thing about Ted Nugent is that the man can (or could) play the daylights out of a guitar and it seems like Harmonix agrees.

World Record

in

Only in today's high-tech era can someone become famous for playing a video game. We've seen the rise of films such as King of Kong, documenting the trials and tribulations of being the world record holder at Donkey Kong. Now, the focus is on a new phenomenon in gaming that is being taken just as seriously.

Miyamoto on WiiWare

in

WiiWare has launched. After all the confetti and streamers were cleaned up, after the online fanfare, the celebration hangover has set in. The number one question on the tongues of everyone after the launch of Nintendo's new online game service for the Nintendo Wii? Where are all the Nintendo games?

Pachter Predictions

in

The Nintendo Wii has enjoyed quite the time at the top of the console sales heap for a while now. When Halo 3 was released, there was a significant moment that saw Nintendo surrender that top spot, only to regain it. Michael Pachter, the gaming industry oracle, has come down from the mountaintop with his latest predictions.

Japanese Wii Fit Stats

in

It's pretty evident that Wii Fit is popular with the population of every country it's been released in. What's a little astonishing is how popular it's become on Nintendo's home court of Japan. It's been revealed that there have been two million copies of the game sold in a country that has purchased six million consoles. Wow.

The Verdict Is In

in

Corporate intellectual property is a dangerous and sometimes dirty game. It's always been like this since the beginning of business, so it's not surprising to hear about a suit filed against Microsoft for patent infringement. What is surprising is to see Nintendo's name listed alongside them as a defendant.
