By RawmeatCowboy An outstanding effort for an independent third party. It raises the bar for graphics, controls, and online gameplay for FPS on the Wii. While the single player could use more variety and co-op, the online is the best on the system. High Voltage along with SEGA have just proven there place as th...

By RawmeatCowboy How do we go about combating situations like these? I think it comes down to the gaming press, and its coverage of Nintendo platforms. The Wii and DS may be the biggest sellers in this generation, but the coverage of their games pales in comparison to 360/PS3/PSP. Many outlets just don’t devo...

By Brian Crecente But the Wii-exclusive first-person shooter hopes to win gamers over not with its plot and known voice talent, but its nuanced controls and solid multiplayer gaming. With the ability to tweak every control in the game, from HUD layout to motion controls, High Voltage Software seems to be g...

With CING's Another Code: R - A Journey into Lost Memories now out in Europe, does it live up the DS original and prove to be the best adventure game on Wii so far?

By Michael McWhertor Had Let's Tap been released as a Wii launch title, it may have gotten a little more attention for its abilities to showcase what Nintendo's motion controller is capable of. Don't let Let's Tap get lost in the mini-game crowd if you're looking for something unique, something clearly not pho...

By RawmeatCowboy “Let’s get the inevitable comparisons to Goldeneye out of the way right now: The Conduit is the closest you will get to recapturing the magic of Goldeneye on a Nintendo console. The single-player campaign is definitely reminiscent of Rare’s classic.” - GamePro

By Doug Aamoth There are also real-time weather conditions pulled down from the Wii Forecast Channel. So for instance, yesterday (June 18th, 2009) it was raining like hell on the US Open, which was being played on the Bethpage Black Course in the New York area (play actually got suspended in real life).

By RawmeatCowboy This morning we received a tip-off from our colleagues at Eurogamer.de that they had encountered substantial differences in Wii MotionPlus performance on their Wii debug review kit and their retail Wii console. Obviously this set off alarm bells - Kristan Reed had reviewed Grand Slam Te...

By hey_suburbia A trademark has appeared at the US Patent and Trademark Office for Super Monkey Ball Step & Roll, a title which would make use of the Wii Balance Board. Super Monkey Ball has been closely associated through Nintendo’s platforms throughout its history, making its original console deb...

By JC Fletcher Various industry figures have come out in support of Peter Moore's claims that review scores don't impact the success of Wii games. One developer told Eurogamer that how a Wii game does is contingent entirely upon marketing, calling Wii games "pure risk." "A lot of these games that you thin...

By RawmeatCowboy Full review here A portion of an IGN review… Grand Slam Tennis is an impressive package on Wii, and one of the best tennis games I’ve ever played. This opening year of Wii MotionPlus support – and the fact that it’s the first time out the gate for this series – leaves a few odd experiences to be ha...

By Mark Wilson Other companies could (and have) made infrared body-tracking cameras. Why are we so confident in Natal? Aside from our positive hands-on experience, Natal has Microsoft middleware/dev tools behind it. Where few third parties have wielded the Wiimote with as much finesse as Nintendo, a...

By NaviFairy When the Wii Vitality Sensor was announced at Nintendo's E3 press conference, it didn't exactly get the warmest reception. And given the way that Nintendo described the device, as a fitness and health tool for relaxation and presumably Wii Fit integration, it's perfectly reasonable fo...

By PixelPoet A month ago I got to see a preview of Klonoa at the Namco-Bandai Editors Day and was very happy with what was presented. The graphics wowed me and the gameplay seemed refreshing and fun. The game was released a few weeks ago at the $29.99 price point for the Wii and so I got a copy; however, would the...

By Alexander Sliwinski It may not be a TKO, but Punch-Out!! on the Wii is certainly a knock-out. We've already entered the ring of public opinion with our review, but let's find out what the others in the peanut gallery have to say about it. It appears that -- much like Little Mac -- the series has aged gracefully and fo...

By Michael McWhertor Perfectly Unmessed With: With the exception of a handful of improvements, most notably the vastly improved graphics and a level-mirroring "Reverse Mode," Klonoa for Wii remains extremely faithful to the PlayStation original. The game can be played with a quartet of control schemes—W...

By Luke Plunkett People like us talk a lot about video games. We read the news, scour forums, watch trailers, download screenshots. But a piece on Gamasutra reminds us how small a part of the market "we" are. GamePlan: MadWorld Demonstrates Tenuous Link Between Web Hype And Sales [Gamasutra]

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 Tracey John Do you see this game being adapted to the Wii-motion Plus controller in the future? With the popularity of the iPhone, do you have any plans to work on an iPhone game specifically? Or any more iPod games? Where do you see iPhone games going? Do you think iPhones are the future of gaming?

By Tracey John id Software’s John Carmack gave us an update on the multi-platform development of “Rage” and the company’s exclusive iPhone title. He also mentioned that he’s in talks to work on an exclusive Wii game. That’s right… a Wii game. Have you resolved the disc space issue with the Xbox 360 version?

By Brian Crecente Mushroom Men: The Spore Wars is one of the better Wii titles of the year. Mushroom Men: The Spore Wars was developed by Red Fly Studio and published by Gamecock. Released on December 2 for the Wii, retails for $49.99. Played through the entire campaign.

By Chris Kohler On the occasion of last week's announcement of a release date for Dragon Quest IX and the development of Dragon Quest X on Wii, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata made some interesting comments about the popular RPG series. Here's what Iwata... Here's what Iwata had to say, as quoted on 1up:

By Paul Govan My most recent discovery has been Samba de Amigo for the Nintendo Wii, which, almost miraculously, was able to uncover a modicum of syncopation that I didn't know I had. The game turns your Wii-mote into a virtual maraca -- a brilliant use of the controller. Price/maker: $39.99 Wii

By Earnest Cavalli It may not be the prettiest game on the Wii or PlayStation 2 (it hit both consoles Tuesday), but with graphics that are cute and colorful and a truly adorable, non-abrasive art style, Dokapon Kingdomshould appeal to all but the most jaded teenagers.

By Paul Govan For this reason I was looking forward to Active Life Outdoor Challenge from Namco-Bandai. Sure, they don't have any groundbreaking controller - opting instead to reuse the tried and tested dance mat - but they do have party fun by the bucket load. Price/maker: $59.99 (Wii)

By tblack@coxohio.com I have been eagerly awaiting the release of ‘Star Wars: The Force Unleashed’ for a long time. I knew I had to play the Wii version of the game so as to take advantage of the motion controls.

By Earnest Cavalli That all changed when Nintendo launched the Wii. Not only did the company capture the technological cachet usually reserved for Apple's latest iDevice, they also earned the affection of the masses.

By hattrick I know many (if not most) of you are upset with the Friend Code system on the Wii and DS.  In fact, you have probably tried several ways to get around the process of sharing your new 12-16 digit number every time you get a new Wi-Fi game.  Might I suggest one more?  Because Facebook [...]

By Chris Kohler Mario Kart Wii includes the Wii Wheel controller (right), a plastic shell that you insert the Wiimote into. Unlike last year's Wii Zapper gun controller, which was pretty much a useless piece of junk, the Wii Wheel does help your accuracy by stabilizing your hands and letting you turn the W...

By Luke Plunkett How awful? See above. While every console of the past eight years (sorry Dreamcast) have seen their games average around 69-71%, the average Wii score is only 64%.

By Luke Plunkett Given that the only port we've done to date was RE4, which has a 90+ gamerankings score and provided AMAZING value for the platform, has this really been Capcom's modus operendi such that this allegation should be leveled at us?

By David Hinkle Finally, you can also engage in Classic Controller or GameCube Controller modes, which allow you to use either.

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. They don't feel as if they were set with the Wii in mind, lovingly cra...

By Mark Wilson Some people call it soccer, others call it football, and most Americans just call it boring. But as the world's national pastime, kicking a ball around into a net is pretty ultimate. Combined with Nintendo's most famous characters in history, you get Mario Strikers Charged.
