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.

If you aren’t aware, GameSpy offers a game matching service for the PC (mainly) that parallels much of what Xbox live does.

The only way to put [...]
About a week-and-a-half ago I posted an article on how to go about making your very own Wii Laptop, as outlined by Edgadget. Somehow, I managed to miss the release of Part 2 of the instructions and now, lo-and-behold… I see Part 3 has been released.
As with before, the instructions are incredibly [...]
I don’t really find this announcement all that surprising, given the games that already exist for the Wii. It seems the developers are rather enjoying having gamers use the WiiMote as a sword, a la RedSteel, and Twilight Princess, and Pronto Games is apparently no different.
There is an article over at Zorro.com [...]
Okay, so I’ve never actually played a Dance Dance Revolution game using the actual dance mat, I’ve only gone about the cheap and lazy way of hitting controller buttons… but I must say that I’m definitely intrigued about the idea of having a title in the series come out for the Wii.
Yesterday, Konami announced that [...]
