Punch-Out After 100 loses you get headgear

We've just finished playing Punch-Out - as in we've won the whole game ..beating Mr.Sandman..

It only took about 10 days of hard word to do it! ooh and after 100 loses we got 'headgear' which basically means you can take a lot more punishment.

This is a fun game, but not sure it has tremendous re-play value. I mean after you've beaten all the boxers what's left?

There is no real multiplayer here - there is a 2 player - but it SUCKS as you fight little mac vs. little mac - where's the fun in that?

Wii Menu 4.0 - finally SD!!

If you updated your Wii system anytime in the last week - you'll notice you've got a new SD icon at the bottom of your screen.

Yup your SD card slot is now actually useful.

You can move and copy games/saved games to and from the SD card now. You can also run wiiware games right from the card.

Makes sense and seems kinda obvious - don't know why we couldn't do that from day one.

NASCAR Kart Racing for the Wii SUCKS. Stick with Mario Kart

We rented NASCAR Kart Racing this week and long story short is the game SUCKS.

Their is no motion control feeback in the wiimote (running through the wii-wheel). The basic tracks are lame and the drivers have no personalities of their own. To make matters worse there was no way we could figure to just play two player - you always have to select a teammate - so a two player is really a four car race.

The power up are lame too.

Overall a total disappointment. Don't buy this game - Mario Kart is superior in every way.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 for Wii uses WiiMotion and looks way cool

Golf is a game that works really well on the Wii..easily the best for the last two years running has been EA's Tiger Woods game

With the WiiMotion controller Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 looks likes its going to be even better than 09.

Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings coming to Wii on June 9th. Go Indy!

I don't know about you, but I've always wanted to crack the Indiana Jones whip. With the upcoming Indiana Jone and the Staff of Kings game for the Wii - i'll finally be able to fulfill that fantasy.

This looks to me like Star Wars Force Unleashed quality but with Indiana Jones.

Ghostbusters for Wii coming on June 16th, 2009

It's got an all-new storyline and the same blend of humor and fright that made the movies a pop culture phenomenon. A continuation of the movie series, set 2 years after the events of Ghostbusters II. This is easily going to be one of the biggest releases for the Wii this year.

Set for release on June 16, 2009

Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars for Wii - Looks Kinda Cool..

Adventure games haven't been big on the Wii for a number reasons - usually because they suck.

Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars for Wii - at least at the this stage looks kinda cool and could reverse the trend.

Check out the trailer and see for yourself.

Dance Dance Revolution Disney Grooves - no Wii Balance Board needed

Dance Revolution hasn't made much of a splash on the Wii, mostly because the Dance Rev games haven't really cut to the heart to the Wii audience.

Dance Dance Revolution Disney Grooves will change that - letting users use the included Dance Mat, Nunchuk and wiimote and Mii's for the ultimate experience.

Yes it's Disney so more for kids but hey who doesn't like mickey mouse?

Trivial Pursuit for the Wii - tabletop board game on the TV

We've all played Trivial Pursuit - the board game before. But why not play it on the Wii?

I guess it's easier than a board game in some ways and all the classic board games are making their way to the Wii in one form or another.

No the game isn't better than the board game - it's just a different way of experiencing it...AND it is an automated way to keep score...

and it prevents cheating..not that i'm calling you a Trival Pursuit cheat but who hasn't bended the rules once - or twice?

Madworld is one Mad Wii game

If gratuitous violence is your game Madworld might be for you...well stylized violence at least.

Think Sin City as a video game...yeah it's that good. This isn't your kids Wii game , but with nunchuk in hand you can do some real damage and blow off some steam.

We haven't finished the game (yet) but so far it's totally engaging and highly entertaining.

Gradius ReBirth - WiiWare release for week of March 9th.

Remember Gradius ? Kind of like Defender but for the NES.

Nintendo is bringing it back for the Wii with a WiiWare release from Konami called Gradius ReBirth.

The 1,000 Wii Point-title is a remastered remake of the very first Gradius with better graphics and a remixed soundtrack. Looks like good fun to us!!

Play Control Mario Power Tennis is a Riot

Great game and the price is great too...Mario Power Tennis gets a makeover in the new Play Control series which transforms classic Nintendo games into ones were you can use a WiiMote.

Good family fun and tennis is a great game for the wiimote - this game is a lot more fun than the basic tennis in Wii Sports

The Conduit will use Wii Speak for gaming mayhem

Nintendo Wii doesn't have any great single person shooter - like a Halo or Fallout..
Sure Metroid Prime is ok..but it's not in the same league.

That's where The Conduit could change the entire perception of the Wii as a platform.

Not only will this game (when released) have an awesome first person shooter - it should also have multiplayer that will use Wii Speak (just like your buddies on Xbox have..) so you can talk with your squad.

Check out the new trailer that just showed up the other day:

EA Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 and Grand Slam Tennis will use Wii MotionPlus

To date we've only known that Wii Sports Resort would use the soon to be released Wii Motion Plus controller.

That has now changed as EA has announced that Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 and Grand Slam Tennis will use Wii MotionPlus

EA has offered a ship date of June 16th -- which means that the Wii Sports Resort game will be out before then since that's the game that comes bundles with the WiiMotion Plus controller

Don King Boxing for Wii - multiplayer and Wii Balance board enabled!

Sure we're all waiting for punchout and yeah sure Ready 2 Rumble looks like fun too..but Don King Boxing - that's over the top baby!

You get a training mode - complete with Wii Balance board compatibility (so you can actually train) and get this


Multiplayer!! but not clear whether that means WiFi or not - it looks likes its just local two player and not online.

It's 2k sports so you know gameplay will be sweeeet and the graphics are as good as you can get on the Wii.
