Epic Mickey: Steampunk Disney Game

Posted by Ade as Games, Nintendo, Wii

I've never really been a fan of the Mickey Mouse and friends aspect of Disney. I find it too childish and all, but they're, well, inescapable. Over at artist Fred Gambino’s website there is a section called ‘Epic Mickey’. It contains Mickey Mouse art reimagined in a steampunk setting. It is rumored to be concept art for a new interactive game from Disney.

Epic Mickey (most probably a code name) is rumored to be developed for the Wii. There's very little news about it now, but I am so loving the steampunk reimagining. It is something Disney needs to appeal to the hardcore gamer crowd.

The flooding of the Wii

Posted by Jim as Consoles, Games, Nintendo, Wii

Woke up today to a Walmart ad about tens of thousands of Wii consoles available for US$249. Take note that those are only basic console sets (console and a controller)... should it come with an extra controllers, games and other bundled items... the price becomes US$329. While I'm not totally a Wii fanboy, I'd say this deal comes perfectly during the holidays. I'm sure parents will take note of this and line up for one. I do hope PlayStation 3, the Xbox and some other stuff follows suit. I've always looked for deals around this time of the year. Walking around BestBuy, Target & Game Stop, I always see product bundles top shelf. ...

Wii Light Sword

Posted by Jaren as Consoles, Cool Stuff, Games, Wii

Now this is a cool toy to play with introducing the Wii Light Sword, so is it a lightsaber, kinda or a Wii-saber nah. It's the Wii Light Sword and you don't need to be a Jedi to wield, all you need is a Wii console (of course) and the Star Wars: The Force Unleashed to be able to "really" enjoy the duel mode and the actual game itself. Now what do you get when you cram in 22 ultra bright LED's inside a plastic casing? You get a very cool controller and kick-ass gaming experience. This baby is powered by three AA batteries and sells for $30 each. Time to ...

Nintendo – Not Enough Wii To Go Round

Posted by Mr Butterscotch as Gaming Features, Wii

A chronic shortage of Nintendo’s Wii console could mean disappointment for those putting it on their Christmas list. It’s clear – both anecdotally and in sales figures – that retailers are once again having problems coping with demand for Nintendo’s latest console – especially in light of some hugely acclaimed releases including Metroid Prime 3: Corruption and Super Mario Galaxy. One way in which to keep an eye on stock levels is to use www.wii-consoles.co.uk if you’re in the UK. Apparently, there’s going to be a huge push by Nintendo to ship more consoles – this will see more than 3.5 million consoles being delivered globally. Allocations haven’t been yet announced for various territories across the world. There ...

Wii Fit aims to make you sweat

Posted by Rogue as Consoles, Games, Gaming, Nintendo, Security, Tech Companies, Wii

I've been working at home for the better part of a decade now. A lot of my friends tell me that they envy the fact that I can earn money while staying at home. They then cite all of the attendant benefits of telecommuting. I have to agree it does sound like a good setup, except for one glaring, undeniable downside to this whole gig. I have gotten FAT. Working at home means the most strenuous exercise you will probably get is that short walk to the fridge or the bathroom. I have so much work that going to the gym is not even an option. That's why I think the Nintendo Wii ...

The Manhunt 2 Ban

Posted by Mr Butterscotch as Gaming, Gaming Features, Wii

You probably haven't heard but over in the UK Manhunt 2 has been banned. Rockstar games, no strangers to controversy themselves what with Bully, GTA etc in their stable of games, have perhaps pushed too far this time. Here in Britain, the BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) have at this time refused to certify the PS2 and Wii title. This means in effect that the game cannot be legally sold - as all media entertainment (film and games) must get a certificate in order to be sold in shops. The BBFC had this to say about the game: "Manhunt 2 is distinguishable from recent high-end video games by its unremitting bleakness and callousness of tone in an overall ...
