New Zelda for Wii probably not coming until 2011
It's not that we want to rush Nintendo in the creation of their next opus, but it might have been nice to have it in 2010. Perhaps the biggest of the "big three" Nintendo franchise games in the works (along with Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Metroid: Other M) is "tracking" for 2010 but Nintendo isn't...
Come on, everyone, of course Nintendo is working on the Wii HD
Nintendo made the right decision to make the original Wii not powerful enough to run HD graphics and therefore less expensive. It became an instant success because of not only the novel motion controller and easy-to-like bundled game, but also the relatively low starting price of $250 wh...
How big is the Nintendo DSi XL? So big it won’t fit on its own box!

Nintendo mulling WiiWare demos
Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata said recently that his company would be testing out demo downloads of certain WiiWare titles this month. It’s unclear if this test program will only be for Wii owners in Japan or if those of us here in the U.S. would be able to participate as well. Apparently the program...

QVC selling Wii bundle for $80-$140 more than you ought to pay
I think we’ve learned something today: not to buy stuff off the TV. QVC was selling, last night, a Nintendo Wii, Go Play Circus Star Games, and a bunch of accessories (golf club, tennis racket, etc.) QVC wanted $362.97 for the bundle, but if you look at the retail price for all this, it comes out...

Review: The Conduit (Wii)
Again, I hate to make direct comparisons to the other big boy consoles, but High Voltage really hit it out of the park for multiplayer mode. Sure, it pales in comparison to what we’re used to on the Xbox 360, but The Conduit’s multiplayer on the Wii kicks some serious ass.

Review: Klonoa for the Wii
You must be precise with your jumps and be on your toes at all times or you’ll fall to your death and want to break your Wiimote. Speaking of which, I play this game with the Nyko Wing rather than the Wii Remote or Wand from Nyko. It’s much easier with a controller than a stick of butter (aka Wiimote...
Review: Let’s Tap for the Wii
But, seriously, Let’s Tap is surprisingly well put together and utilizes the mechanics of the Wii system like no other and that includes Nintendo. Kudos to Prope and big ups to Sega for only wanting to charge $30. I give it two thumbs up and suggest you pick it up as well. Not everyone wants to fla...

How To: An unconventional use for the Wii Nunchuck controller
Wow, this is pretty sweet. Oomlout, creaters of the OAWR and SERB robot projects, are using a Wii Nunchuck to control their SERB robot. Too bad it’s not wireless. If you’re curious about Oomlout’s work, you can check out their website or their photostream on Flickr. From their website, you ca...

Podcast: Nintendo just found a boatload of money and it’s called Dragon Quest X
Flickr’d Sony and Microsoft (especially Microsoft) might as well pack their bags and leave the Japanese gaming market altogether. Why? For one, Square Enix just announced that Dragon Quest X will be released for the Wii, probably sometime in 2010 at the earliest. That means Nintendo will...

How To: DIY, solar-powered mobile Wii
The guys over at Tom’s Hardware Guide have built a mobile Wii station, so they could get out a play video games in the sunshine. They claim they actually did it because they hadn’t build anything in a while and had been talking about applications for solar power. The unit is basically a wooden...
