Nintendo Punch-Out Wii Debut Trailer
Having just got done playing through a few matches of Wii Boxing and dying for some true 1:1 motion mapping instead of the insanely confusing “flick” mechanics in said title, I just got really excited stumbling across the debut trailer for the remake of Punch-Out for the Wii: I have no idea yet if this will [...]

Thursday, October 2, 2008
Straight out of Nintendo press conference, Satoru Iwata has announced a ‘new’ series of software called “Let’s Play On Wii”. This new series of software will feature old Gamecube games that have been retrofitted with wii-specific controls. The first games to get the control facelift? If you guessed Donkey Kong Jungle Beat and Pikmin, you’ve won! [...]

Sunday, July 20, 2008
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” [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
