Fils-Aime: New Super Mario Bros. Wii Will Outsell MW2 — with One Stipulation
That stipulation is, it'll beat either the 360 or the PS3 versions of the game, but not both, the Nintendo boss Reggie FIls-Aime told Gametrailers TV. Still, that's a hell of a Pepsi challenge. Or maybe he means it'll outsell Modern Warfare: Reflex on the Wii?

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...

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 tossing of fireballs and iceballs — earned via classic-syle power-ups — don't hurt other players. In one level, I found a barrel that did. Of course I picked it up and hurled it at my "friends" from Nintendo. New Super Mario Bros. is set for release on the Wii on November 15.

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.

Mario And Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games Preview: Luigi Controlled with a Rear End
As Luigi, I led a team also consisting of Yoshi, Knuckles and Amy Rose to a bobsledding victory over Sonic, Mario, Tails and Peach. Then, as Sonic, I beat Peach in speed-skating (after she first beat me). Graphics: we've seen Mario and Sonic look better. The first game didn't look cutting edge....

Mario was Put in Punch-Out Without Permission
Satoru Iwata: You could get away with a lot then. (laughs) Shigeru Miyamoto: We didn't have an approval system when using Mario images back then and it went right past my check. (laughs) Wada: That's why it is a slightly strange looking Mario.

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.

What Did Shigeru Miyamoto Say?
Miyamoto: [in Japanese] It's okay for us to say it. Miyamoto: [in Japanese] Let's say it. Miyamoto covers his face.] Miyamoto: [in Japanese] In the New Super Mario — Nintendo PR: Nothing has been said at this point. Miyamoto laughs, puts his hands on his face.]
Miyamoto: Super Mario Galaxy 2 Will Have 90% New Levels
Miyamoto said that the original plan was to "essentially create new variations of the worlds in Super Mario Galaxy." But, over time, the developers have had so many ideas that Miyamoto estimates that 90% of the game's levels are all new. The rest, he said, are levels from the original Mario G...

Wii Music Review: Jam With The Bland

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).

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...

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.
