Computer Mouse to be Extinct in 5 Years… Again
Remember 10 years ago when voice-recognition and Dragon Naturally Typing was going to replace the keyboard? Yea that didn’t quite pan out how we all thought… I think at some point we were going to replace the mouse with eye-tracking lasers on the monitor and then some sort of brain-tie-in that would tell when you “clicked” [...]

Tuesday, July 15, 2008
How is Manhunt 2 forced to revise the gore and violence on their game, but this is all good and well… especially on the Wii? Maybe it’s because it’s presented as a gameshow in this game and in Manhunt 2… it was in a hospital… but Manhunt #1 was a gameshow too so I guess the [...]

Monday, July 14, 2008
Damn, it seems that Nintendo has some bombs to drop at E3 this year, leading up with a new “true 3D motion accessory” that adds on to the existing Wiimote. Apparently the new addon, combined with all the existing measurment facilities of the Wiimote, can completely accurately, with a 1:1 accuracy, map your physical motion to [...]

Tuesday, June 24, 2008
Last little bit of media blow-out here before the game drops today, this time a Wii gameplay movie… looks interesting. From the movie it looks like they tried to map all real motions to Wiimote motions… will be curious to see how that translates: And a gallery for your perusing-pleasure from the Xbox 360 (overall graphics [...]
Continue reading...I Finally Figured Out What the Nintendo Wii is For
Monday, May 26, 2008
I have owned a Nintendo Wii since it was launched… actually I got one 2 days after the launch or something. I own all the “must have” games for it (Zelda, Mario, Resident Evil 4, etc.). I have two Wiimotes. I have tried… jesus I have tried to like the Wii, but for all my trying, I’ve played [...]

Friday, May 16, 2008
For all the Wii fans out there that love driving coconut shells and using turtles to solve problems, you aren’t going to care about this. But for the rest of the readers (like me) that bought a Wii at launch and have turned it on a total of 8 times before every single damn game [...]

Wednesday, March 5, 2008
NOTE: This article may invoke feelings of “No Shit Sherlock” in some of you, I’d encourage you to post those feelings as comments… maybe even a “You are a FAG!” would help… those are always appreciated and helpful to everyone reading. This tip is a little obscure, but it’s one that has driven me crazy for [...]

Chris Hunkele sends in the scoop that Red Octane has the Wii Guitar Hero III standalone guitars up for sale, grab one if you need it!

Wednesday, February 20, 2008
Brad Agdern sent in news that Activision has offered a complete $132 refund for Guitar Hero III for the Wii or a remastered replacement disk for folks that were put out by the audio on the Guitar Hero III not being Dolby Surround even though it was advertised as such. A pretty nice move considering the [...]

Wednesday, January 30, 2008
Suh-weet. For the folks out there <cough>me</cough> that had a NEO GEO and fell in love with the arcade stick that it had, you can rejoice in knowing it will be coming to the Wii shortly. I’m not sure there are fighters on the Wii and VC that are so badass that the NEO GEO stick is [...]

Monday, December 17, 2007
Johnny Lee is at it again. We blogged about his first invention (using the IR-sensing capabilities of the Bluetooth Nintendo Wii controller), which was a Minority Report-esque multi-touch display that you could manipulate with your fingers. Now it looks like he’s refined his ideas a bit further. Modifying a typical Bic Pen to include a power [...]

Monday, November 12, 2007
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0awjPUkBXOU Johnny Lee is hardcore. Using the LED-detecting ability of the Wiimote, combined with some reflective tape on his fingertips along with a LED panel, he was able to create an interactive field that he can manipulate with his two fingers. It’s simple, but really damn smart and could lead to some interesting commercialized applications (e.g. [...]

Sunday, November 11, 2007
Ted Regulski just sent along this smoking link to the NeoGAF forums for a Kmart coupon of 20% off any purchase that basically brings all the major consoles down to the following prices: Playstation 3: $320 XBox 360: $280 Wii: $199 Apparently the coupons are fine to print out and use, take note of the dates on the coupons [...]

Thursday, November 8, 2007
IGN posted the sales numbers so far this year for the XBox 360, Wii and PS3… the result? Jesus Sony, get on the ball here. It’s funny to look at these numbers and think “price has nothing to do with it”, unfortunately Sony launched with too high of a price point and no games that were [...]

Rockstar is using the above, custom-styled Wii to try and entice folks to enter their Radio Rebellion Sweepstakes. A limited time offering that includes the above Wii along with a 50″ Plasma for the winner. The official Radio Rebellion page is here, but it looks like you signup at the previous link page after making your [...]

Monday, October 1, 2007
Looks like Prince, long-time manufacturer of real tennis racquets has gotten in the Wii accessory game. These new Wii racquets will go on sale come November and be around $15. Not too shabby for a plastic frame.
