“It’s a game about a guy making a game, who is in a game, but is also making a game, and his marketing campaign is like a game, and that’s about a game, in a game, but also outside the game, where he is making a game, about him making a game, which is about [...]

Apple patents "Wireless Remote Wand"
No matter how much effort Nintendo makes to distance its own market from Apple’s, Apple will continue to imitate and attack the gaming giant. Apple made its first major moves with the iPod Touch, along with bold claims that the Touch was the future of handheld gaming (or some such nonsense). Now we may be [...]
Nintendo – "STOP COMPLAINING"
Ok, so maybe I exaggerated a bit with the title. But, that is the overall feeling I got when I read over this tidbit. People have been complaining that Nintendo is making too few games lately. I know I have at least thought it, and you know you have, too! Well, as it turns out, [...]
Nintendo – Wii Hard Drive is "Rumor and speculation"
Well, so much for the double USB hard drive. CVG recently spoke with Nintendo about the peripheral, and they declared it to be purely “rumor and speculation”. Yeah, it would have looked nice, fitting perfectly to the Wii, but it is unnecessary. SD cards are so much cheaper than hard drives, and some of them [...]
IBM Ships 50 Millionth Processor for the Wii Console
It is only appropriate that Wii should reach this fantastic milestone just as the DS ships its 100 millionth unit. Just forget the ‘casual’ game issue and think for a bit: The Wii console is a raging success! Remember telling people how well it would sell back in 2005? Well, you were right! As for [...]

Lauren Bernat (Wii Fit Girl) and I hung out a lot during the EA event, she’s really awesome. She was helping out EA demo “EA Sports Active”, she literally spent 12 hours exercising for the media. Share
Peter Moore gives a shoutout to WiiNintendo.net
Peter was great we had a private Q and A with him. He had already answered all of the typical questions, so I asked him something totally random that was on my mind. Since Moore worked with SEGA, I asked him if he’d ever consider doing a Toy Commander type game with EA. He said [...]
RUMOR: Double USB Hard Drive coming to Wii?
According to a rumor from QJ, Nintendo is working on a “double USB hard drive”. The hard drive part is self-explanatory, but what does the double mean? Maybe it means it uses both USB ports on Wii or maybe it means the hard drive will have space for two more USB ports on it. Regardless, [...]

Flash support coming to WiiWare
Thanks to the Cave Story blog, we know that WiiWare devs will soon be able to use Flash in making their titles. This can be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on how much effort developers use with Flash. I wonder how much the quality of WiiWare games will change once Flash becomes [...]
