Wii Sports Resort with MotionPlus
The Nintendo Wii is a polarising device. Ask a gamer, and most of them will agree that the PS3 is overpriced, and the XBox 360 is unreliable. These are facts. The Wii on the other hand polarises people between love and meh. The graphics are decidedly last-gen, and the controller is either miraculous or just [...]
Super Mario Galaxy
Is it possible to call oneself a gamer having never clocked a single Mario game? I can recall picking up many Mario games in the past, but quickly losing enthusiasm. Super Mario Galaxy seems different. Time will tell, but so far (after several hours of play), it is turning out to be an absolutely stunning game. [...]
Wii Remote Jacket: My Saga
I haven’t had any issues at all with my Wiimotes.? I’ve never broken a strap, nor smashed up my TV or anything.? Still, when Nintendo broke out the offer of a free, stupid looking, soft, padded “jacket” for the Wii remote, I decided to take them up on it.? Free stuff always gets me.? I [...]
Nintendo Wii E3 Roundup
There is so much for the Wii owner to be excited about from E3.? I hear some grumblings about there be no spectacular “core” games, but how can you not wet yourself about the following: Super Mario Galaxy? (with funky? two player co-op) Mario Kart Wii (with online play) Umbrella Chronicles (a basic shootemup) Wii [...]
Endless Ocean for Nintendo Wii
For some reason I’m madly excited about Endless Ocean (formerly known as Forever Blue), a scuba diving simulator for the Wii. It looks very tranquil, and apparently will feature some sort of online component.? No word yet on whether this will be online co-op (swimming around with friends), or just sharing photos and aquaculture with [...]
NZWii.com: Wiki for Wii Users
The Wii system of Friend Codes is possibly useful for stopping Internet predators, but it is nothing but damn annoying when trying to team up with random people for a quick ‘friendly’ game of Mario Strikers Charged. There are a number of Nintendo forums about the place, but none seem to solve this problem well [...]
Wii: Standard Issue on Norweigan Cruise Lines
It’s not so much that the Wii is recognised as a fun and innovative console, but also that companies like Norweigan Cruise Lines see a need to issue a press release when they decide to install Wiis on their ships. Can you imagine them saying this sort of thing if they decided to install 360′s or something? Link [...]
Wii Excite Truck Excitement
Two generations (once removed) getting some serious excitement from Excite truck! [googlevideo]http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3881505803789300709[/googlevideo]
.NET Library for Nintendo’s Wiimote
Sweet! Someone has taken the time to write up a .NET library interface for the Wiimote. Now there is nothing stopping me (or anyone with a modicum of .NET) from writing some freaky little application that uses the Wiimote waved around like a madman to control it. Perhaps a little Windows Presentation Foundation in the mix for some [...]
Apparently web browsers access porn sites
Shock horror! If you run a web browser on a device, you can access porn sites. Some two-bit regional news site is reporting on the sordid details: Wait but… wait… the Wii has parental controls that allow you to lock down web browsing. I could be an idiot, but doesn’t this in fact make the [...]
