Wii Fit was released in Japan in December 2007. Proved to be, despite its liberal use of the word "fit", a hit. So much so that it's now sold three million copies. Think Iwata & co give two hoots about the science of it all? Nope. They care about counting all that money.
According to Lead Designer Alastair Halsby: "We have done our utmost to ensure that it feels like playing an arcade machine — albeit an arcade machine that is out to entertain a paying customer, instead of one that is trying to lever money out of players. Our players have already paid their m...

There were concerns from some that the DSi made piracy easier. Then there were concerns from others that it made piracy harder. Everyone was in a tizzy! Now, there's reason for Nintendo to worry. The Acekard2i comes as Nintendo, third party game developers and Kyoto cops have begun cracking...
The latest special issue of People celebrates the Atari 2600 as the console that “ruled the interactive gaming world” in the 1980s – no mention of the original Nintendo, Sega Master System or even Coleco Vision. In fact, aside from a joke about the 2600 being the son of Pong, there’s no menti...

How about the year for games? Just as predicted, 2008 was a high-volume year, and although a recent rash of layoffs and economic struggles for the games biz proved that we're not "recession-proof," video games as an industry and as an entertainment medium still made big strides forward.
Actually, now that you can see it all there...you can blame Nintendo all you want, but remember: Capcom were picking up a lot of the slack during most of that ten year period with their handheld games, a slack they're no longer picking up.

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...

Absolutely. Nintendo works regularly with a number of charities, most notably the Starlight Starbright Children’s Foundation, which works to place video game consoles in children’s hospitals. Having video games on hand for kids helps reduce anxiety and boredom during hospital stays.

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...
How awful? See above. While every console of the past eight years (sorry Dreamcast) have seen their games average around 69-71%, the average Wii score is only 64%. Which leads to much hypothesizing in the piece about reviewers not "understanding" the Wii, theories on the impact of shovelw...

They want to sell software, and they pretty much decided to stop just looking at the standard demographics.

Bullshit, Pachter. The 'HD Wii' will be the successor to the Wii. How exactly can you go about adding HD resolution to a machine that was designed without them in mind half-way through its life? Why would Nintendo want to spend a fuckton of money upgrading the Broadway processor (which was ba...
