TOKYO (Reuters) – Sony Corp. sold 466,716 PlayStation 3 game consoles in Japan by the end of last month, less than half of its shipment target and of sales of Nintendo Co.’s rival Wii console, video game magazine publisher Enterbrain said on Tuesday. Enterbrain said Nintendo sold 989,118 Wii units despite a launch date about [...]

If the Nintendo DS is any indication, it’ll probably be a full year before we start to see truly good games for the Wii. As of now, the Wii is–and will be for a while–dominated by mini-game compilations and dumb-downed ports with tacked-on motion control (even Twilight Princess is guilty of this). So what Konami [...]

Tim Gray, newsfactor.com- Although Nintendo claimed a big victory in the opening battle of the next-generation console wars, selling more than 600,000 of its Wii systems in North America shortly after its launch date, new sales data indicates that Microsoft’s Xbox 360 actually won the holiday wars. According to research firm NPD, Microsoft sold two [...]

If you ordered replacement wrist straps from Nintendo, you may be interested to know that these are now starting to arrive in the mail. If you missed getting a replacement, you can request them from Nintendo for free on its Customer Service page. The new straps have a slightly thicker band to loop through the [...]

The Wii’s Weather Channel went up a few days ago, and now the trial version of the Opera browser is available. Yes, this is just a “demo” that can be downloaded for free until March and will remain free until June. Then it’ll cost you 500 Wii points ($5) to keep it, so the story [...]

Unfortunately, Connect24 doesn’t download it for you. What’s up with that? By selecting the nearest major city to where you live, you can get a quick [...]

TOKYO (AFP) – Nintendo Co Ltd spokesman Yasuhiro Minagawa said Friday that the first version of the controller strap “turned out to be insufficient in its strength for some customers,” so it would be replaced with a thicker one. “The decision comes after reports that some users in the United States threw their controllers when [...]

I love my Wii. The remote and nunchuck combination is the most comfortable controller I’ve ever used, and Excite Truck and Wii Sports are now ingrained into my daily schedule. But the Wii is not perfect. While that $250 machine is a great value and provides some good fun, it has its problems, as well. [...]

Nobody enjoys going to the doctor. If you aren’t in pain when you leave thanks to the doctor lying about “this isn’t going to hurt,” you leave embarrassed, because he/she made you drop your pants in front of him/her. It’s important work, though, and I’m sure we’ve all dreamed about being a doctor at some [...]

Zelda fans are the hardest to please. Since Ocarina of Time, we expect every subsequent sequel to be just as good, if not infinitely better (which is probably impossible). Because of this, many fans found Majora’s Mask too strange and Wind Waker too cute. But I love about this series is how every Zelda is [...]
