Wii sales are cooling off. Nintendo's hype machine is set on this year's versions of tried and true franchises (Zelda, Mario and Samus), with the yet to be seen towering pile of shovelware branded as "family fun".
Sad, but if families actually played that crap, it'd probably boil down to dysfunctional freakin' fast.
3DS's hype hasn't really moved much since E3.

I'm usually one to decry Wii ports and stay clear like week old sashimi. For Sid Meier's Pirates!, I'll make an exception.
Regardless of the platform, quality, well designed games like Pirates! usually turn out to be fun and well worth it. Consdier that I have every version of Sid Meier's Pirates! (from Apple IIc Pirates to Pirates! Gold) on every..... [ read more ] Aug 23
Calling Wii VC "ignored" is nothing more than a severe understatement. Red-headed step children get more attention than Wii's once touted feature. Heck, even your neighborhood whipping boy is more noticed.
It's gotten to a point where besides the back catalog, at some point, you'd think Nintendo would stop mentioning the service.
Oh wait...they pretty much have.
This week, we finally see..... [ read more ] Aug 20
Wii sales are slumping and the associated software sales, in a word suck. Really really suck.
Wii games, outside of the core Nintendo staples a-la Zelda and such, have never really done that well.
Way back 2007-2008, when Wii hardware sales were ripping the charts, developers got caught with their pants down.
So they took the cheapest and fastest way back into the Wii market. Hoark,..... [ read more ] Jul 27
I think it's an inevitability. Unless something goes completely wrong, I think Sara's going to have to deal with her fear of clowns yet again as Aero The Acrobat had a sequel.
And I liked it wayyy more than the first one.
There's a lot to like and control issues from the last game are mostly gone and Aero controls as fluid as an Acrobat..... [ read more ] Jul 26
I think it's been almost a month since we've gotten anything on Wii VC. Finally, there's something today and unfortunately, it really wasn't worth the wait.
Wii's VC has gotten no love lately. Instead, Nintendo's releases are more focused on WiiWare and DSiWare games. We're lucky to get one title, so I guess I should be happy. It's just too bad that..... [ read more ] Jul 13
Every system has its issues. Xbox360 has the infamous RROD (red-ring of death) issues signaling a dead console from a host of issues (overheating being one of them). PS3 has got similar issues with overheating, but pesky upscaling problems when loading a flic to bricking systems during system updates.
It's a scary world out there and Wii is following right along with its own..... [ read more ]
