Look like the super controversial Manuhunt 2, which has warranted itself an AO rating this week, won’t be gracing the PS2 or the Wii at all as long as it’s garnished with the AO tag. Nintendo refuses to allow playback for Manhunt 2 since the games gruesome nature has caused such a huge ruckus, and [...]

While it’s simply speculation at this point, Paul Mottram, Senior Producer on Crush did point out that “There is no reason why it couldn’t be transferred to multiple different platforms especially the Wii, DS and PS2 and this is something we are thinking about.” - You can hit up the whole interview here.

With the reception [...]

I lucked out yesterday, and my local super-retailer, Wal Mart, had a copy (many, actually) of Mario Party 8! I picked it up without hesitation, and completed my Wii Remote collection with a total of four, and hosted the first ever Wii Mario Party at my house.

There were a total of three of us, and [...]

Via IGN I saw something that I didn’t particularly care for at all: More Mini Games on the Wii. However, this does look like it might be fun, and even more so for younger kids. The fact that all the Nintendo Wii is getting is mini game filled retail games is just blowing my mind. [...]

This…. This is a combination of the most silly and badass piece of equipment for any console, ever. The Guitar Hero Controller? Wireless 360 Controller? Power Glove?
Moot.
This might make you look like more of a goof than the Wii already does, but damn, this is just cool. I might re-rent Red Steel just to [...]

Courtesy of a 1up Story, we now have proof that Beautiful Katamari, the long rumored arcade/retail Katamari game coming to Wii, is now in fact NOT…. Yet.

So what about a Wii version? Jun Moriwaki, the director of the game comments, “The Wii is also one of our platform choices. We would like to challenge with [...]

Looks like Super Paper Mario is kickin’ ass with the critics. High ratings all around, and with the little amount of time I’ve had with it I can’t help but totally agree. It’s a really cool, diverse game with tons of little treasures and great powers. Be sure to look here soon for a WiiSpot [...]

The popular Nintendo DS game made its way to the Wii this week, and it seems that the reviews are kind of rocky. A moderate 66% at GameRankings makes me reconsider my thoughts to have purchased it this weekend. Blockbuster, here I come. I’d love to give it a whirl, since multiplayer looks like a [...]

I can confirm that the Friend Code system in the Wi-Fi Connection (WFC) service for Wii will be the same as it was for the Nintendo DS, meaning game-specific Friend Codes and a separate Friend Roster are used in each game where players can play with identified friends. As with Nintendo DS, the system was [...]

Koei announced that they’d be releasing an original title for the Wii called “Opoona” - From Koei’s past, as much as I love their games, I wonder how ‘original’ we’re talking here. You too? Well, let’s find out what 1up has to say, shall we?

First, the setup. Opoona is not only the game’s title, but [...]

Apparently, a port of the Dave Mirra game that appeared on the PSP late in 2006 is being ported to the Wii. How a BMX game will work on the Wii is beyond me. If the controls are half as complex as the Snowboarding superstar, SSX Blur, then we might be able to handle it. [...]

Mario and crew are back to party it up sometime in May… Until then, oggle the boxart. It’s oh so nice.
Anyone know who that creepy little blue dude is in the corner? Let me know! His top-hat frightens me.

Okay, okay, so it’s not exactly the lightsaber game we all thought it would be, but check out this super promising new gameplay trailer straight from GDC
Check out the video here
It looks like it could easily be pushing an M rating, what with cuttin’ dudes in half, decapitations and… insane amounts of gushing gore. This [...]
