The Wii version of Spider-Man’s next-generation debut is creating something of a storm across the Internet, though perhaps not for the reasons the developer hoped. Following in the footsteps of Spider-Man 2, a surprise hit that essentially rewrote the standards for superhero videogaming, was never going to be an easy task, but New York’s spandex-wearing [...]

By all accounts, Retro Studios has done a fantastic job of bringing the Metroid franchise into 3D with their award-winning Metroid Prime games. Both games, which appeared on the Nintendo GameCube, received critical praise while garnering apparently good sales on Nintendo’s underperforming console. Arguments have been made, however, that Nintendo made critical mistakes in both [...]

Namco Bandai announced yesterday that their new title, Soulcalibur Legends will be exclusive for the Wii and will take full advantage of the Wii Remote and Nunchuk.
Having already sold more than 9 million units worldwide to date, the Soul series takes a new direction on Nintendo’s new-generation machine, offering a third person action adventure rather [...]

While Nintendo had Mario and Sega had Sonic, Hudson had Bonk. What sets Bonk apart from the big boys is his gigantic head. As the name suggests, Bonk can destroy enemies and certain blocks by hitting them with his head. This can be done by standing underneath the object and jumping, standing next to the [...]

Like most of the TurboGrafx games showing up on the Virtual Console, Chew-Man-Fu is fairly obscure and probably not known to a lot of you. It’s an action/puzzle game with embarrassingly heavy doses of Chinese stereotyping. It hasn’t aged so well, either, having been originally released in 1990 and showcasing some rather plain graphics and [...]

LONDON (AFP) - Nintendo’s Wii console is as effective as more traditional videogames for burning calories, but players are running the risk of injury by not warming-up properly, according to British experts.
The Japanese firm launched Wii in November last year. Its motion-sensitive console — rather like a wireless remote control — allows the movements of [...]

TOKYO - Booming sales of the popular Wii and DS game machines lifted Nintendo Co.’s earnings 77 percent for the latest fiscal year, showing that the Japanese maker is holding its own against bigger rivals Sony and Microsoft.
Nintendo reported group net profit of 174.29 billion yen ($1.47 billion) in the year through March, up dramatically [...]

So I just finished playing Super Paper Mario. I gave it an 8/10, which is pretty good (unless you’re one of those people who only buys 9.5s or higher). One of my biggest gripes with the game, however, was its glaring lack of voice acting. The constant barrage of text was exhausting, especially when characters [...]

This game is not what you might expect. In fact, it’s better to expect nothing and be pleasantly surprised than to think the marriage of RPGs and platformers might be the best thing ever… and walk away disappointed. Super Paper Mario is different, that much is certain. It resembles the Paper Mario RPGs as much [...]

Few genres fit the Wii as perfectly as this. You’re going to see a lot of tilt puzzles in the future, if you haven’t seen enough already. Unlike the Wii’s mini-game fetish, though, there’s still room to love those games that twist your stomach in a knot and get your hands a sweatin’ as you [...]
