Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword Preview
After waiting an hour and a half for my 1o minutes of hands on time my excitement for this new Zelda had started to fade. The constant drone of the theme music and the inane chatter from the two guys behind me put me in a fairly surly disposition by the time I got up [...]
Just Dance (Wii) Review
Introduction [10 out of 10] Now, I feel it incumbent upon me to emphasize straight outta the gate that I would never even attempt *pauses briefly to watch commercial for Glee!* to label myself as a “gamer” or even a person that knows anything about what the general gaming community consensus constitutes as a good [...]

Nintendo Making a Profit on Wii Hardware
I’ll be the first to admit my Wii takes a back seat to my other gaming consoles. I do play it occasionally and my wife is a Wii Fit fanatic, but compared to the 15 games I own for my Xbox 360 the 3 I have for my Wii is a pretty small collection. However, [...]

Nintendo Punch-Out Wii Debut Trailer
Having just got done playing through a few matches of Wii Boxing and dying for some true 1:1 motion mapping instead of the insanely confusing “flick” mechanics in said title, I just got really excited stumbling across the debut trailer for the remake of Punch-Out for the Wii: I have no idea yet if this [...]

Computer Mouse to be Extinct in 5 Years… Again
Remember 10 years ago when voice-recognition and Dragon Naturally Typing was going to replace the keyboard?
