Saw a link over on Slashdot to a Japanese article arguing that Wii's popularity may be a bubble. To quote: "The report goes on to discuss the likelihood that many Wiis are gathering dust in owners' cupboards, citing one software house president as saying...
Short form: not a lot for the core gamer, but to be fair, Nintendo is trying to go after a very different audience. Wii Fit is very, very cool. More thoughts: Demographic numbers were interesting - it's positive to see the audience broadening, and Nintendo...
Was just talking with a good friend this weekend about the Wii. He's been looking to buy one for the last few months but hasn't come across it yet. Anyway, we started talking about the games to play and what I recommended, and I suddenly realized that...
Just saw over on Kotaku that someone's suing Nintendo for broken Wiimote straps. It's ridiculous. I think Penny Arcade said it quite well recently : Nintendo has countered this behavior with a friendly and informative online brochure , whose bipartite...
Just hit the web . Wanted to highlight it as it's a great, non-technical summary of the current console war that really boils the current state down quite succintly (and accurately, in my opinion). Couple of quick quotes: If you or your loved ones...
That's definitely my opinion after evaluating the system a great deal . Spent several hours last night trying to make sense of the current online implementation; as I said before , Sony's online system is busted , plain and simple. And Xfire isn't...
... at least for Nintendo. Yes, I'm still in Peru (Arequipa, to be exact) on vacation, but we're killing a half-day hiding inside a coffee shop from the beating sun. (The Inca Trail and Machu Picchu were amazing, by the way!) Anyway, so I have...
Title pretty much says it all, but I'm heading off to Peru with some friends to hike the Inca Trail and see the Machu Picchu ruins. We will be gone for a few weeks (first multi-week vacation in years!), and that means I likely won't be posting...
Saw some IGN footage showing off Wii games being played with the controller in Leipzig. Think most of you have seen it already, but just wanted to make sure. I wrote earlier about being impressed by the Wii controller, but I was also concerned about the...
Been some articles on the web recently about an interview Reggie Fils-aime did with USA Today where he implied online gaming with the Wii would be free. To quote the key Q&A: Q: You're not pursuing a subscription model? A: We view online gaming as...
I've always been a huge adventure game fan. Heck, the simple fact that I can even type is thanks to Zork , Enchanter , and Planetfall from Infocom. Unfortunately, these sorts of "thinking man's games" have pretty much disappeared over the years. You occasionally...
It sounds like some enterprising folks found a few unreleased pages on Nintendo's website last week. They were quickly pulled, but according to this post from Kotaku (and many others), the WiFi pages stated that Wii would use Friend Codes (likely just...
Had a couple of thoughts on the Wii controller to share. The first is around rumors of unannounced functionality for the Wii remote. Although much of this article from IGN (supposedly based on leaked specs) is either unsurprising or highly speculative...
Good news on the wire today if you're a Nintendo fan. It appears Electronic Arts has six Wii titles in development, with others to be announced in the future. Currently announced titles include Madden NFL 07 , Need for Speed Carbon , a new Harry Potter...
