This being the first REAL episode we decided to take the time to chat about all the games we have played on the Wii, and offer [...]

This week’s Virtual Console Wii-kly update is a huge one. If you thought that you had it good last week with the release of A Link to the Past for the SNES, you’ll be blown away by this week’s offerings. Firstly this week you can download what some would call the best game on [...]

If you run to your Wii right now and perform a network update, you will find that the News Channel is there waiting for you a whole day early! I had a short chance to check it out this morning and I have to say that I’m quite impressed. I thought that the News Channel [...]

You have to figure that a book like this would have to come out eventually. I mean, you have all sorts of people who are definitely NOT your average gamer (my parents included) coming out and playing with the Wii… some of them may need some help getting started!
The book, by Dan [...]

I’m a little surprised at how quickly the News Channel is coming out, and I’m definitely not complaining! As long as you’ve downloaded the Opera web browser on your Wii (and you’d better go get it now if you haven’t already… while it’s still free!). Come this Saturday, you’ll be able to get [...]

About a week ago, I posted an article that discussed the creation of a Wii Laptop. Well, the first set of instructions (this is the first in a three-part series) has been released by Engadget in case you’re interested.
The instructions are quite detailed and come complete with a ton of pictures to help you [...]

It was announced earlier this week that Nintendo has struck a huge deal with Six Flags amusement parks. Nintendo is now the “Official Gaming Console of Six Flags”. What this means is that Nintendo will be installing Wii gaming stations at several of the amusement parks where people can play the Wii for [...]

I’m not too sure what the reason is behind the difference in the above straps… but it seems that some folks out there who ordered new replacement straps for their WiiMotes got the one pictured on the far right, while other people got the rest. Personally, we got the one on the right, it [...]

Welcome to the WiiSpot Podcast Teaser. Edgar and I got together to record a DS:Life Podcast a month and a bit ago, and ended up chatting about the Wii for an hour and a half!
We decided that the Wii is interesting enough to warrant its own podcast, and thought that releasing this as the [...]

Let’s say that you have a little brother/sister, roommate, younger nieces/nephews, significant other… well, you get the point. Let’s say you have one of the aforementioned people who either lives with you or comes by for the occasional visit. Of course, everyone wants to have a chance to play around with your new [...]

Well holy cow, Ben Heckendorn over at Engadget has gone ahead and created a portable Wii! Complete with built-in screen and all the necessary ports, this has got to be the most wickedly awesome laptop that I have ever seen! Here are some specs:

16:9 widescreen LCD, 7-inch diagonal
Stereo sound
Gamecube controller port
Built-in [...]

I thought this article was quite hilarious when I first read it over at Kotaku, and so figured that I had to put it up here for our readers!
You can see by the above image (which appeared on the Official US PlayStation site), that it seems that Sony has decided to pass along [...]

ONM, the Official Nintendo Magazine out of the UK… will apparently be including the above-pictured decals in the next issue of their mag. Personally, I probably wouldn’t want to play around with decals and my Wii… I’m rather partial to the pristine whiteness of it all, but I must admit that that old-time NES [...]

Having just picked up WarioWare: Smooth Moves this afternoon, I can safely say that I’m addicted!! In case you haven’t heard a whole lot about the game, it’s made up of around 200 little mini-games, each of which need to be completed in 5 seconds. Just a hint… don’t play this game when [...]

Another week, another Wii-kly Virtual Console update (That’s Nintendo’s pun, not mine. Please don’t shoot the messenger.). This week’s addition adds another pair to the SHMUP pile, and also adds an interesting TG-16 racer to the mix. Hey Nintendo, I love shoot-em ups as much as the next guy, but do you think you could [...]
