Don't forget Pilot Wings Resort, which takes place entirely or almost entirely on Wuhu island.

The Wiire : Reminder: Club Nintendo Year Ends June 30

Tue, 29 Jun 2010 20:28:51 +0000

Last year I went through a lot of debate over whether I should get the hat or the game. In retrospect, I'm VERY glad I got the hat, as I proudly display and have visitors occasionally ask questions. I'm just hoping they have new stuff that's even better, but knowing NoA, they won't.

The Wiire : Kirby\'s Epic Yarn Screens and Hands-On Impressions

Thu, 17 Jun 2010 06:19:39 +0000

The problem I have with this is the same problem I had with Mario Sunshine, and it's trivial at best but still has an impact. While the game looks like a great game and will no doubt be really fun, it doesn't seem like Kirby fits in, as though they only plugged him in there in an attempt to sell more copies. Perhaps I'll feel differently upon seeing the story (and I'll probably buy it regardless) but it feels... conniving. To me, at least.

The Wiire : Mario Sports Mix Screens and Trailer

I don't know. The price on this is gonna be a big issue. Also, online would be great, but I doubt it will have it.

Thumbs up for Homestar Reference, and /agree.

The Wiire : New Zelda Wii To Require Motion Plus, Playable At E3

Wed, 3 Feb 2010 22:12:18 +0000

I'm really glad to see this. I've been kind of worried that this Zelda would be like Twilight Princess, where it was delayed for forever.

The Wiire : Iwata Says No To Project Natal

Wed, 27 Jan 2010 22:33:11 +0000

Well, while I completely agree with all the comments who don't like not having a controller in their hands, Microshaft DID say that Natal could read an object into the game, so that if you want to, you can be holding a circle as a wheel, and it'll just look at it. That being said, I think it is WAY more accurate to have the data come DIRECTLY from the Wheel, instead of having to image it with a camera. One thing we all know from experience is that people frequently walk right in front of a game. I'd hate to imagine what would happen every time someone walked in front of Natal.

The Wiire : Columnist Turns Down Wii Citing Too Many Hidden Costs

Thu, 21 Jan 2010 23:50:38 +0000

Dude, if you have a family, it's going to cost more to do ANYTHING with them. That's like saying you wanted to go to a movie theater, but when you found out you had to pay for your wife and kids you decided not to go. If I lived alone, I would have one WiiMote, one Nunchuck, one Gamecube Controller, and a GH guitar. Instead, I have 4 WiiMotes, 2 Nunchucks, 2 Gamecube controllers, a Classic controller, 2 GH guitars, drums, a mic, 3 Motion Pluses, and a Wii Wheel. All paid for by me. He just needs to suck it up. However, I will give it to him that WiiMotes are WAY too expensive.

The Wiire : Netflix CEO: Chances Of Nintendo Wii Support Are “Excellent”

Sat, 9 Jan 2010 03:56:53 +0000

Well, I've vowed to never use Netflix because theirs are the only pop-ups that get past my blocker. I can't stand it.

I love simlish.

The Wiire : EA\'s Riccitiello Critical of Nintendo

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 05:38:43 +0000

The first thing that catches my attention is how many games EA has released that directly compete with Nintendo's first-party games (i.e. EA Sports Active vs Wii Fit) even though they are using Nintendo's system and controllers. The other thing is I wish I could go up to him and tell him, "I know about all your games--I just don't buy them." The only games I've bought from EA are Sims (Which was originally Maxis) Spore (Once again, Maxis) and Boom Blox (Because of the Stephen Spielberg part, not the EA part.)

The Wiire : Win Deca Sports 2 for Wii

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 14:28:09 +0000

I bet you someone, at least one person, thinks it would be a good idea to post all that info in the comment box.

The Wiire : Miyamoto Discusses Nintendo\'s Future

Thu, 22 Oct 2009 03:41:14 +0000

The console might be more compact and more cost-efficient, but I think the real question is: Will it blend? In all seriousness, it seems hard to believe to me that Nintendo would release another console with the same time schedule as they have in the past, given the continued sales of the Wii, the release of WiiMotion Plus, and I think one of the biggest indicators is the DSi. They didn't release an entirely new handheld; while the DSi is very different, it's fundamentally the same. I think that if they were to release an entirely new console, it would have to be fully backwards compatible with the Wii.

The Wiire : Colorz

Fri, 18 Sep 2009 13:20:21 +0000

For the record, they've cured color blindness in Monkeys recently, it's only a matter of time until the cure comes to humans. just sayin'.

YAY! I didn't see this coming. Great midnight surprise, especially the day before school starts again.

http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-Official-Nintendo-Wii-Rem... Expensive, but if you ask me, worth it. It will work with any Wii, accessories are Region Free.

Um... thanks, but if you notice, we just got done reading a review. It's up there ^.

The Wiire : Telltale Developer: iPhone More Powerful Than Wii

Fri, 31 Jul 2009 02:42:51 +0000

I think what he should have said is that the iPhone is more powerful than WiiWare. And besides, I've never really liked iPhone games because of the lack of buttons. Touch screens just can't beat actual physical buttons, IMO.

"Lieutenant Barclay on the Holodeck... nah, that's too obscure." You forget who your audience is. Mr. Broccoli.

The Wiire : Mario Galaxy 2 Will Go Next Level

Wed, 15 Jul 2009 20:33:31 +0000

I wouldn't say "Some" people. There were plenty of people who finished the game with Mario, all 120, and you got some cool stuff if you finished with Luigi all the way, too.
