The 10 Most Avidly-Played Wii Games In America (As Of Nov 1)
Where's all this from? (AKA an explanation of the above chart for stat junkies only): In a move somewhat surprising for the generally secretive company, Nintendo makes all of this data public. Any Wii owner can download the Nintendo Channel to their Wii and begin browsing for games. Any gam...
Build A Mario Church For This Window
Building a Church of Mario to put it in, however, will be the real drain on your wallet. Especially if you expand the concept to a Church of Nintendo and commission Radiance Art for Pac-Man and Zelda stained glass windows. Stained Glass Mario Mushroom Powers Up Ordinary Windows [Technabob]

Disney Considering Movie, Comics for Epic Mickey
We are putting a lot of muscle behind this. We have an advantage that no one has. You say Mickey and Disney and the whole world changes, everything changes. If anyone has a chance of really delivering something special on the Wii, Nintendo-level special, it's us."

Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack In Time Review: The Leap, At Last
The Ratchet gameplay is improved. The Clank gameplay is a revelation. Two years ago, Ratchet & Clank Future showed how good Insomniac could make this series look on PS3. A year ago, Ratchet & Clank: A Quest For Booty showed that Insomniac was still prepared to innovate with gameplay....

Live-Action Mario Dead At 76
Wrestling fans know him as the WWE Hall of Famer who managed more than 50 wrestlers in his day, with more than two dozen championships won by athletes taken under his wing. 80's music fans might remember him from his appearances in many Cyndi Lauper music videos, including "Girls Just Want T...

Is Single-Player Gaming In Danger Of Extinction?

Wii Fit Plus Review: Now I’m A Believer
Nintendo has been very careful to call Wii Fit a fitness "tool" not a fitness "solution" for obvious legal reasons. Neither Wii Fit nor its successor, Wii Fit Plus, will magically make you thinner or more easily able to resist tasty food.
New Super Mario Bros. Wii Preview: All The Modes, All The Chaos
The plot is as simple as ever. Bowser has claimed Peach. Mario needs to rescue her. Solo players can run through the game's side-scrolling levels as Mario. Up to three other players can join locally — no online support here — before entering a level. Players two through three will control Luigi,...

Wii Price Drop Timed to Wii Fit Plus Release
While the $200 price tag makes the Wii the same price as Microsoft's entry-level Xbox 360 Arcade, Kaigler says that the experience out of the box for the Wii makes it a better value. While Nintendo says the price drop was timed to the upcoming release of Wii Fit Plus, Nintendo currently has no...

Bakugan: Contender to the Pokemon Throne?
Pokemon, Nintendo's most popular game franchise after Mario, was initially created by Nintendo in the mid 90s as a video game and later spawned movies, cartoons and a collectible card game. Bakugan, though, started out as a cartoon and went on to spawn a card and toy game and finally a video...

Frankenreview: Halo 3: O.D.S.T.
Master Chief is such an iconic gaming figure that it almost seems wrong to have an FPS with the Halo name on it without him.

Wii Price Drop Looks To Hit First Week Of October

Can Blur Bring Split Screen Back?
We live in an age of online multiplayer. Screens just don't get split as much as they used to, not for racing games, among other genres. Some might argue that online multiplayer is superior. It gives each player a full screen's view. It causes no one to squint.

Playing Games as a Form of Travel

How Many Hours People Play Sports Games On Wii (Go, Madden)
People buy sports on the Wii, the only console currently bundled with a sports-based video game. But how much do they play these things? And how do the Maddens, the fishing games and the mighty Wii Fit rate? Yes, I'm defining "sports game" loosely. But, on the Wii, where the boundaries of gami...

What's Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto Doing At Tecmo Press Conference?
Those are "historical idols" Eri Kohinata and Mikako, not Shigeru Miyamoto. We repeat not Shigeru Miyamoto. Koei is releasing Samurai Warriors 3 on the Nintendo Wii, and Shigeru Miyamoto was on hand to talk about the Mysterious Murasame Castle mode in the game.

Nintendo Breaks Its Silence About Silence
Nintendo's lead characters are rare among modern gaming heroes in that they seldom talk out loud. But rarer still is a Nintendo game that does include recorded speech. Punch-Out Wii did, and its creators explained why. Even Nintendo will break its characters' tradition of silence when the...

The Best-Selling Wii Games Of 2009 Didn't Come Out In 2009
The Wii news can be viewed in positive or negative lights. On the one hand, it suggests that no 2009 Wii offerings — not Punch-Out!, not Boom Blox Bash Party, not Sega's trio of hardcore-oriented originals — could garner top-level sales. But it also is a sign that the Wii, more so than its compe...

Wizard of Oz Preview: Partying Up With The Tin Man
People love the Wizard of Oz, and yet it remains one of the most popular pieces of adventure fiction to not have much of a presence in the gaming medium. There was a Super Nintendo Oz game. And maybe another one or two. But this DS game is a rarity. If you are into the fiction, it's worth a look. For thos...

33 Months Of Motion Control, The Wii's Hidden Struggle
A new Zelda down-played it. A new Mario limited its motion-control element, as have so many Wii games, to the occasional vibration of a player's right hand. This fall's New Super Mario Bros. Wii, made in the two years since the last Wii Mario, uses motion control no more than the last.

How Much Of New Mario Vs. DK Is Actually New
In my review for Mario Vs. Donkey Kong: March of the Minis I made the educated guess that Nintendo had recycled the boss battles from its earlier Mario Vs. Donkey Kong 2 DS game. But there had to be more, or else Nintendo wouldn't have included the warning in its shop, right?

New Super Mario Bros. Wii Preview: Classic Mario, Endless Play
Classic Design: The game feels so familiar I actually had to check with Shigeru Miyamoto to make sure that the levels were all new and not reimaginings of levels we've seen before over the history of the Mario franchise. Playing Super Mario Bros. Wii is a like a big warm hug from your childhood.

Wii Music Review: Jam With The Bland
Nintendo has created a piece of software that has brief flashes of fun, but little in the way of long-term enjoyment. In group settings, it will likely entertain for its impossible-to-fail gameplay and the resulting cacophony. Outside of morbid (or genuine) curiosity, it's hard to recom...

Mario Kart Wii Review: I'm Not Angry, Just Disappointed
Fun fact: I'm a total Mario Kart fanboy. For the record: Double Dash is my favourite (I know, I know).

In other words, use the Wii Remote & nunchuk, and only the Wii Remote & nunchuk. The Wii Wheel and 'Cube controllers should be thought of as Mad Catz peripherals: only for use by guests in multiplayer games. Guests you don't like. As for the Wii Remote on its own...I told you to forget about...

Opinion: No Snaking For Mario Kart Wii
Big fan of snaking in Mario Kart? Brace for disappointment. Nintendo have finally called an end to the trick, with the upcoming Mario Kart Wii's cornering speed boosts to be determined by how long you can hold a powerslide, not how quickly you can waggle from left to right. From the British Of...

Opinion: Mario Kart Wheel Is Quite Possibly "Absolute Crap"
Don't know why Nintendo thought this thing was necessary; perhaps it looks good in advertising? A good way of bumping up the price? Either way, it's rubbish. Whether or not he means the game doesn't steer as well with the wheel, or that the wheel just feels horrible in your hands, we can't tel...

Meanwhile, the PS3 was slow out of the gate, but easily has twice as many must-have titles as the Wii has, and no matter how many systems Nintendo sells, that gap is only going to grow wider.

Opinion: Mario Kart DS, Animal Crossing Wild World Hands-On
Mario Kart DS plays exactly like you would hope, effortlessly. There's no screwing around with the touch-screen or trying to learn new skill sets, instead Nintendo concentrated on make a solid handheld version of their super popular console racer and from what I saw they succeeded.
