Nintendo is full of crap, and here’s why
A week ago I got rid of my Wii. Nintendo kept promising they won’t forget core gamers, but still failed to deliver any games that weren’t another version of Mario or Zelda, a collection of childish mini-games or something that’s only enjoyable when you’re together with a bunch of drunk morons. The last more or [...]
Next Wii still using IR?
Even though nothing has been announced officially about the next Wii, the first rumours have already started surfacing, and one of them is that the controller will still use IR. I hope this isn’t true, since this is one of the many things I hate about it: having to aim it properly at the screen. [...]
Wii storage solution coming… sort of
As everyone knows, the Wii is equipped with a lousy amount of storage. And when you’re out of space, all you can do is backup your savegames on an SD card and delete some stuff.

Nintendo apparently hasn’t decided wether they will manufacture them [...]

NES Controller Coffee Table
This is definitely one of the coolest coffee tables ever! It’s not just a big picture of a NES controller with a sheet of glass over it, no, it’s an actual scaled up NES controller. That’s right, this thing actually works! Of course, you’d need an working NES for that, but there are still plenty [...]

If the guitar that comes with Guiter Hero III for the Wii doesn’t satisfy you, this might be something interesting.

It’s entirely powered by the batteries in the Wiimote, [...]
A Real Wii Crossbow
Link’s Crossbow Training is fun, but the Wii Zapper isn’t exactly a crossbow. So here’s a new controller that IS a crossbow! And not just any crossbow, it has a laser sight! Those bublins and skulltulas better hide, because with this thing you just can’t miss! And to prove it’s dangerous weapon, the makers have [...]
