By Wootini Namco Bandai's We Cheer was a unique game for the Nintendo Wii that turned your Wiimotes into cherleading pom-poms, but suffered from a condition that afflicts many Wii games, inaccurate controls that threaten to make the game feel broken. Luckily, the sequel, We Cheer 2, manages to do wh...

Ars Technica New Super Mario Bros. Wii feels like a return to form for Nintendo, and the game certainly plays it safe with familiar graphics and gameplay. Buried inside the game is a deep, rich experience in both single- and multiplayer, however, and the amount of things to see and do is disar...

By Russ Frushtick Power-Up Variety I wish there was a little more variety in the power-ups for "New Super Mario Bros. Wii." As it is, the only brand new power-up is the penguin costume (gives Mario the ability to slide across water and throw ice balls), while the others have appeared in previous Mario games.

By Brian Crecente New Super Mario Bros. Wii was developed by Nintendo EAD and published by Nintendo for the Wii on Nov. 15. Retails for $49.99 USD.

By David Hinkle New Super Mario Bros. Wii isn't a game for you to play by yourself. Sure, you could, but it's just not going to be the best way to extract all of the fun the experience has to offer. Instead, you really should try to corral some friends together for multiplayer, which is guaranteed to do one of two t...

By Nicholas Deleon Whether or not this is the best Mario game to date is purely a matter of personal tastes; it’s certainly the most humble on outward appearances. The red game case – a bold and loud statement of fun – is the first indicator that there’s something special under the hood in this one. Still sorting t...

By hattrick A key component included in Spore Hero is local multiplayer battle. This allows you and a friend to fight in a 3D Street Fighter-type arena. Make your own creature or pick from the characters in the game, and then duke it out in a best-of-three bout. This was a good addition to the game, but I beli...

By Mike Fahey Nintendo has been very careful to call Wii Fit a fitness "tool" not a fitness "solution" for obvious legal reasons. Neither Wii Fit nor its successor, Wii Fit Plus, will magically make you thinner or more easily able to resist tasty food. However, there's a lot to be said for a game that makes t...

By Stephen Totilo What they'd tell you in a catalog is that Dead Space Extraction is the Wii prequel to last year's PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 sci-fi horror hit Dead Space.

By Wootini It may not be called Wii Sports 2, but for all intents and purposes, that's exactly what Wii Sports Resort is. Using the Wuhu Island setting of Wii Fit (guess it saves them from having to program a whole new environment from scratch), Wii Sports Resort offers up 12 new activities to enjoy. Well...

By Peter Ha 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.

By Chris Schilling Wii Sports Resort represents a difficult balancing act - it’s a game which has to sell MotionPlus to the masses, convince the core gamer of both its value as a peripheral in its own right and its potential for future titles - especially in the wake of Natal and Sony’s new motion wand - and to he...

By Luke Plunkett Let's find out! Just like they did for both Xbox 360 and PS3 games, market research firm EEDAR have rounded out the trilogy by tracking every Wii game's Metacritic score and found how much of the system's catalogue has been a hit with critics, and how much of it hasn't.

By Michael McWhertor Deadly Nunchuk: It helps that the use of the Wii remote is mostly so intelligent, not to mention so forgiving. Almost everything you do works without a struggle and the controller is mapped wisely enough to feel almost instinctive. Headbutting, for example, is curiously fun with the Nunch...

By Chris Kohler Mario Kart Wii includes the Wii Wheel controller (right), a plastic shell that you insert the Wiimote into.

By David Hinkle While it's quite comical when the cursor is changed during cutscenes to funny shapes such as a mustache, allowing you to make a few jokes at the game's characters' expense, none of the game's controls feel suited to the Wii.
