Opinion: Wii Developer To Fans: Keep Me From Making Mini-Games

07 Jan 2009 08:16:07 PST

Written by Tracey John
Itkowitz: That’s pretty much the problem. There haven’t been that many of them so far… In fact, there haven’t even been that many core first-party games from Nintendo either. I think they know that the gamers will wait patiently for the next “Zelda” or “Mario,” but it seems Nintendo’s real f...

Wii Fanboy Review: Sandy Beach

07 Jan 2009 07:00:00 PST

Written by JC Fletcher
While not all of Hudson's WiiWare offerings are necessarily successful in terms of sales or critical response, they've been responsible for some of the best, and best-selling, games on the service. And even when they don't do so well, effort is evident. So why can't Hudson's parent compan...

Opinion: Comment: disappointing Wii coverage

18 Dec 2008 11:41:14 PST

Written by Chris Schilling
I’ll be the first to admit that Wii hasn’t had the best year ever. Nintendo has tested large sections of its core fanbase this year - certainly in the last six months - with very few first-party titles which appealed to a non-casual audience. While Mario Kart Wii and Super Smash Bros. Brawl - amo...

Metareview: Guitar Hero: World Tour

Written by Ross Miller
Filed under: Sony PlayStation 2, Sony PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii, Microsoft Xbox 360, Rhythm This week marked the debut of a second contender in the full-band-simulator genre. It's hard to find a review for Guitar Hero: World Tour that utters Rock Band less than a half dozen times. Compar...

Game Review: Sambe de Amigo will Shake Your Maracas

22 Oct 2008 10:00:00 PDT

Written by Paul Govan
My most recent discovery has been Samba de Amigo for the Nintendo Wii, which, almost miraculously, was able to uncover a modicum of syncopation that I didn't know I had. The game turns your Wii-mote into a virtual maraca -- a brilliant use of the controller. Price/maker: $39.99 Wii

Game Review: Active Life Outdoor Challenge - Fitness can be Fun!

15 Oct 2008 11:30:00 PDT

Written by Paul Govan
For this reason I was looking forward to Active Life Outdoor Challenge from Namco-Bandai. Sure, they don't have any groundbreaking controller - opting instead to reuse the tried and tested dance mat - but they do have party fun by the bucket load. Price/maker: $59.99 (Wii)

Written by Joel Evans
To help usher in the future, two researchers recently came up with a way of intercepting bluetooth communications from the Wii Fit. So far they’ve shown what they can do in Google Earth and WoW, so just imagine what’s coming next! Not to be outdone, Sony is even rumored to be planning their ow...

10 Jun 2008 09:37:23 PDT

Written by Earnest Cavalli
That all changed when Nintendo launched the Wii. Not only did the company capture the technological cachet usually reserved for Apple's latest iDevice, they also earned the affection of the masses. Now grandparents are playing Mario Kart Wii along with their six-year-old grandspawn an...

Review: Mario Kart Wii Skids Way Off The Road

02 May 2008 16:31:36 PDT

Written by Chris Kohler
Mario Kart Wii includes the Wii Wheel controller (right), a plastic shell that you insert the Wiimote into. Unlike last year's Wii Zapper gun controller, which was pretty much a useless piece of junk, the Wii Wheel does help your accuracy by stabilizing your hands and letting you turn the W...

Review: Nyko’s Cord-Free for Wii Nunchuk

12 Mar 2008 06:11:55 PDT

Written by James
All told, Nyko’s Cord-Free is a solution that many Nintendo Wii fans have been clamoring for. It is a third-party fix to something that Nintendo either should have handled itself or a problem that never needed to exist. Welcome to a fully wireless Wii experience. And for a suggested retail pr...

Opinion: Say, Did You Know How Many Wii Games Suck? [Nintendo Wii]

13 Feb 2008 00:30:00 PST

Written by Luke Plunkett
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...

Metareview: Super Mario Galaxy (Wii)

Written by Alexander Sliwinski
Super Mario Galaxy might not be out until next week but all the reviews are pretty much in. It's a hit with the critics! According to almost every review it is the game Wii owners have been waiting for (but please don't forget about Zack and Wiki, if only for the sake of third-party support). Gal...

Opinion: Capcom Exec Defends Okami On Wii, Hints At Enhancements

24 Oct 2007 19:20:00 PDT

Written by Luke Plunkett
Given that the only port we've done to date was RE4, which has a 90+ gamerankings score and provided AMAZING value for the platform, has this really been Capcom's modus operendi such that this allegation should be leveled at us? Zack & Wiki is getting better reviews than just about any...

Wii Fanboy review: Victorious Boxers Revolution

19 Oct 2007 09:21:00 PDT

Written by David Hinkle
Finally, you can also engage in Classic Controller or GameCube Controller modes, which allow you to use either. Here, the game works the same as just about any other boxing game you've played, so those of you familiar with the genre can really just pick up and play without worrying about the...

Wii Fanboy Review: Crash of the Titans

15 Oct 2007 07:15:00 PDT

Written by David Hinkle
While it's quite comical when the cursor is changed during cutscenes to funny shapes such as a mustache, allowing you to make a few jokes at the game's characters' expense, none of the game's controls feel suited to the Wii. They don't feel as if they were set with the Wii in mind, lovingly cra...
