Excitebots: Professional Poker Racing
June 26, 2009 Leave a Comment
The Nintendo Channel on Wii runs some pretty nifty celebrity videos on occasion, and one of their most recent efforts is no different, as they pick four professional poker players and sit them down to play a game of poker like no other: the one found within Excitebots: Trick Racing. Gavin Smith, Eric Lindgren, Daniel [...]
Bit.Trip CORE is WiiWare game #100
June 25, 2009 2 Comments
I have a confession to make: we never reviewed Bit.Trip BEAT when it released a few months ago, and it’s one of those things I keep kicking myself for. The game is one of my top 10 on the WiiWare service, if not better than that, and when I heard that there was going to [...]
Icarian is now NyxQuest, but it’s still gorgeous
June 25, 2009 Leave a Comment
One of the WiiWare titles I am most looking forward to–and that’s in a summer loaded with them–is Over The Top Games’ NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits. Earlier this week, you may have known this game as Icarian: Kindred Spirits, but a namechange was enforced due to some issues (and no, it’s not because of Nintendo and [...]
More Bit Boy media than you can handle

Bplus shot us an e-mail stuffed full of images and trailers for their upcoming WiiWare title, Bit Boy, so here I am to present you with loads of screens and art. Bit Boy takes place, graphically, in many different eras. You control Kubi, who is sent back to the realm of 4-bit gaming in order [...]
The Guitar Hero, Rock Band wish list
June 22, 2009 4 Comments
Because Guitar Hero: Smash Hits is just a re-release of previous tracks, I didn’t really feel it deserved its own review.‚ If you are interested in purchasing it, check the track list beforehand – Some songs are re-used from the Aerosmith, World Tour and GH3, so there might not be enough new content to make [...]

Nintendo wants to know what you want
June 19, 2009 7 Comments
Thanks to Stephen Totilo’s excellent chain interview series over at Kotaku, something I have wanted to hear come from Nintendo executives for ages was spoken: In the same vein of Team Ninja working with Nintendo to re-imagine Metroid, what development group would your readers love to see partner and collaborate with Nintendo? And on what [...]
The Conduit media blowout
June 19, 2009 1 Comment
The Conduit, High Voltage Software’s Wii exclusive sci-fi shooter, hits store shelves next week. While I’m still not sure how the game is going to be from a story or gameplay standpoint, I do know that High Voltage has poured their extensive technical prowess into turning out a high-quality visual experience mixed with some fantastic [...]

If you like to find these things yourself, you should probably ignore this post.
Licensed games that don’t suck
June 17, 2009 4 Comments
When a movie tie-in game is announced, the first thing most gamers do is groan. The second thing they do is take a peek at the screenshots and trailers for it anyways, just to see what is being done with their beloved franchise, and this eventually convinces a small part of them that hey, maybe [...]
What do you get when…

…you combine a living, walking toaster with the abilities of a samurai? According to Semnat Studios, you get a four-player, sidescrolling shooter with a unique art style. The title just released on Nintendo’s WiiWare service moments ago, and though we will have a review for you later this week, for now you will have to [...]

Digital Evolution
June 15, 2009 Leave a Comment
It’s amazing how much progress digitally distributed games have made as of late. This generation saw the rise of Xbox Live Arcade, the Playstation Network, and the WiiWare service as ways to release a lot of indie projects and smaller titles that may not have worked in the retail space. Recently, Nintendo began the DSiWare [...]
