New Super Mario Bros. for Nintendo Wii announced
By Brenda Stokes on Tuesday, Jun 2nd 2009 No Comments
Nintendo E3 2009 is going on right now and we just heard that the game maker will be releasing a brand new version of their classic, Super Mario Bros, but this time for the Wii. This version is called New Super Mario Bros. and it’s sure to be a trip down memory lane for many.
The new game will be in the classic 2D style and will be a side-scroller. You will have the ability to play four-player co-op. New power-ups and game play features have bee added as well, which is pretty cool for those of us that enjoyed the original game.
Also included is an auto-zoom feature that pans around and zooms in to make it possible to keep all four players on the screen at once. That’s good news for those that tend to get lost in co-op mode, but might be a bit distracting–we’ll just have to wait and see. You can expect New Super Mario Bros. for the Wii to be released by Christmas.
Nyko Zoom Case for DSi is a bit bulky
By Brenda Stokes on Monday, Jun 1st 2009 No CommentsWell, isn’t this thing a sight to behold. One of the main marketing attributes of the Nintendo DSi is it’s svelte form factor and generally small frame. So, adding on the Nyko Zoom Case seems to be a bit counterintuitive. But hey, what do I know?
Nintendo Wii Fit Plus trademark discovered
By Chris Davies on Wednesday, May 27th 2009 No CommentsNintendo have registered a trademark in Japan for the Wii Fit Plus, expected to be the follow-up to the company’s highly-successful Wii Fit game. While no specific details regarding Wii Fit Plus are known, the trademark application did include a logo design which suggests Nintendo are actively working on the project rather than just covering their legal bases.
Gold-plated Wii is gift to Queen Elizabeth
By Brenda Stokes on Friday, May 22nd 2009 No CommentsIt seems THQ really wanted to throw their hats in the “tech-gift giving to the Queen” ring and have decided to bestow upon her Majesty a Nintendo Wii. But this isn’t just any old Wii console. Rather, this one’s plated in gold.

Muscle Koushinkyoko: perhaps the best game demo video ever made
By Chris Davies on Friday, May 15th 2009 No CommentsRarely do I have so much difficulty picking a screenshot from a video as I have with upcoming WiiWare game Muscle Koushinkyoko. Headed to the Japanese version of the download store, the game – the title of which translates to “Muscle March” – seems to involve running bodybuilders through buildings to rack up points.

Super Mario Bros controlled by sound & music
By Chris Davies on Wednesday, May 13th 2009 No CommentsPeople like gaming, and people like music – how about mixing that up? We’re not talking about anything so boringly sensible as Guitar Hero or Rock Band; no, we want classic Super Mario Bros controlled by clapping, strumming and singing. That’s exactly what artists and tinkerers Marc Sciglimpaglia and Phoenix Toews came up with.

Sony motion-sensing PS3 controller set for E3 launch?
By Chris Davies on Friday, May 1st 2009 No Comments
Hot on the heels of a screen-sliding PSP refresh, comes word that Sony are planning a Wiimote-style motion-sensing controller for the PS3. Tipped for announcement at E3 next month, the controller is expected to use LEDs and a webcam to track movement, with reportedly greater accuracy than Nintendo’s version.
While there’s unsurprisingly no word from Sony themselves regarding the new controller, the rumor-mill maintains that the company is contacting “key third-party publishers” and pushing for support in their upcoming titles. That would give the company the catalog of compatible games needed to properly launch the new peripheral.
