What is Wii Emulator? Wii Emulator is an improved version of GameCube. As of today, Dolphin is the Emulator available in the market which is also a GameCube emulator.

However, compatibility of this Wii feature is very low. There is a preliminary Wiimote emulation but unfortunately it’s not working yet. Another version of emulator is Dolphin 64 bit. Dolphin 64 bit is an optimized version of Dolphin Wii emulator as well as GameCube emulator.

What is Dolphin? Dolphin is an open source Nintendo GameCube, Wii and Triforce emulator. Dolphin is only intended for Microsoft Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X.  In fact, this is the only emulator that runs commercially successful on GameCube and Wii games.  And this is the only emulator that capable of running commercial Wii games.

In general, emulators allow computer programs to run a platform like computer architecture or operating system. This kind of emulator is known as software emulator. However, hardware emulator is an emulator in the form of hardware devices like printer emulators.

As of today, there are numerous sites that offer Nintendo Wii Emulator Download with reasonable prices.

If you are a first time buyer of Nintendo Wii and its accessories, you may experience headaches like mine.  At first, it made me so hard to choose from so many wii products available in the market. I also have headaches on where to buy the best and quality wii products.

I would suggest you buy online; it would save you gas on going to local malls. Take out the hassle on going to local malls and shop online. There are so many online stores that offer great wii products with great prices.

First of all, you need to find a reputable online store. Some of these are ebay and amazon. These two reliable online stores offers competitive price and delivers faster plus you will have a peace of mind because you know that you are buying from a reputable store.

In buying Nintendo wii, you also have to educate yourself with the product together with all the accessories needed to make your wii game experience more enjoyable.  In buying a new console for example, you have to be knowledgeable with what exactly you need and you don’t need.

If you are not familiar with the game yet, you may buy a guide to help you out. Wii buyers guide is a big help in buying the game. Don’t spend your hard earned cash into something you don’t actually need or you don’t actually want. Try to seek for suggestions online and decide where and what to buy.

You guys remember “Parker Lewis Can’t Lose”, the show that was basically a weekly, half hour version of Ferris Bueller? I remember I used to love that show, especially Kube. Dude was like a gentle giant. That was back when TV used to be good, especially TV that was geared towards the teen/tween market. (Side-note: I’m pretty sure that when I was what would now be considered a “tween” that phrase hadn’t been invented by Disney yet. We were just called kids back then.) Nowadays it’s so crap, but there’s one show that takes the cake, “Secret Life of the American Teenager”.. Mrs. Mike watches the show because she got sucked in during a sick day when there was a marathon of it on TV. Isn’t it funny how you can get sucked into marathons? I remember one weekend I think I didn’t watch anything but “Law & Order:SVU”. Anyway, the basic premise of this show is about a moron girl who got impregnated by a moron guy and they are surrounded by more morons. The worst part is the acting; they don’t so much act as just read the lines. (And. They. Do. It. Like. This. Sentence. By. Sentence. Apparently. The. Writers. Have. Never. Had. A. Real. Conversation.) The girls dad on the show only takes advice from his other, younger, daughter and their dog; Ricky (the guy who got the girl pregnant) only wants to have sex and loves his son; and the girl with the baby pretty much hates everyone, especially her baby. I don’t even want to get into the other characters on the show, but The Tominator is by far the best one; Tom plays a friend’s brother on the show and has Downs Syndrome and still manages to out act and entertain more than anyone else there. Ugh. This show is awful. If I didn’t know any better I’d think it was made by Canadians or something, probably the same ones who came up with the worst Opening Ceremony ever for this years Olympics. Basically, for one hour each week while this show is being watched in my household, I kind of want to just bang my head against a wall, that would probably even be more productive…

Looking back on yesterday’s posts, you’d think that the only thing that happened at the Nintendo Summit, or anywhere else for that matter, was Samus and Mario love. Well, there was a bit more and we’re going to talk about one of the other games that made an appearance now. “Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands” is Ubisoft’s true sequel to “Sands of Time” and will be acrobatting onto store shelves May 18. As I already reported, the game is reportedly going to be one of the best looking Wii games yet. The game is a multi-platform release, but the Wii version is being developed as a completely separate game and story. There are a few new gameplay elements in Forgotten Sands, including an interesting one when it comes to combat. The larger groups of foes will have a “boss” amongst them that supposedly has a bit of a glow about him, I’m pretty sure it’s not because he’s pregnant, but who knows. Anyway, if you don’t feel like fighting all of his goons, just go after him. Once you take him out, his cronies will go away. I’m not sure if it makes a difference other than saving time and the fact you won’t get level points for anyone but him. Still, if the fights are repetitive this could come in handy; there’s nothing worse than games with the “Travel here. Unlock door A by solving puzzle B. Fight 5 guys that respawn 3 times each before the boss shows up. Then repeat the process until you’ve done it for 6 hours” formula. The Forgotten Sands also includes jump-in/jump-out co-op mode that takes a cue from Mario Galaxy; a second Wiimote will control a reticule that can be used to help solve puzzles. No, there’s no other character that can be on screen with you duking it out “Double Dragons” style, that would be sweet though. “Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands” is an ambitious title, and one that could set the bar for graphics when it comes to future Wii titles. For a few pictures of the pretty all you have to do is check ‘em below. I’m also giving you a video of Jay Electronica on stage with Mos Def & Diddy, because it’s just sick. Enjoy, and stay thirsty my friends.

I want some Girl Scout cookies, like bad. I’ve been craving some Samoas or Thin Mints for weeks now and am suffering because it’s impossible to find Girl Scouts selling them. I don’t understand why they don’t have stores selling them year round, or at least let me order them off the internet. Seriously, I’d imagine their sales would explode if they had web ordering year round. I mean, what are the positives of the way they do it now? Is there a point in making me hope some young girl knocks on my door selling some cookies? Do they really think that’s the best option? I know they love their whole “randomly set up tables in Wal-Mart parking lots” version of Russian Roulette they play with my cookie pains, but I think it may be driving me insane. The only explanation I can come up with is that the Girl Scouts is run by a Julia Child-esque old lady who’s never heard of the internet and every time someone suggest online sales she accuses them of witchcraft and then burns them at the stake. (Side-note: Okay, let’s take the whole burning at the stake bit out of that equation and you’ve got to admit, it kinda makes sense. More importantly, it’s effing hilarious to think that’s the way it is. I can just imagine the old lady getting super pissed any time some young troop leader mentions Google or anything else that came about after the year 1965 and orders them to immediately turn in all her badges and never talk about Scouts again.)

I’ve never hid the fact that as far as game developers go, High Voltage Software has the key to my heart. The Conduit is, IMO, the best FPS on Wii and could easily hold its own against most of the big boys the HDC’s could throw at it. When the company announced their four player co-op shooter The Grinder, I was here hyping it up. When the company made the announcement last month that the game was now being developed for all the next-gen consoles, I stood by them like Bonnie would for Clyde. But now I’m afraid they may have gone too far. They held a private showing of the Left 4 Dead style game showing off a level for the 360 at GDC this week. No, I wasn’t there to see it and, frankly, I’m glad of it as I’m not sure I could have contained my emotions. Apparently they have decided that since the 360 & PS3 have an exorbitant amount of FPS’ for gamers to choose from, they needed to make The Grinder a top-down shooter. I KNOW!!! Apparently all the love the company has had for the Wii has gone out the window thanks to the new girls and their shiny graphics. They don’t care about the massive amount of Wii gamers who love and respect the company and expect them to be one of the companies pushing the console to its limits. (Side-note: I’m writing this in a hair salon as I’m waiting for Mrs. Mike to get finished, so let’s blame that for the melodramatic tone this paragraph has taken on…) Look, I’m not at a point right now where I feel ill will towards High Voltage, but I am disappointed. I expected The Grinder to be an amazingly fun experience and one that is unique to the Wii. Sure, it may still be unique, but I also expected them to try their best to deliver a FPS that would be worthy of taking the crown away from The Conduit. While the company has made no statement on the Wii version of the game, I can’t imagine them developing the FPS that we deserve at the same time as the top down abomination that they showed at GDC. Even if they have chosen not to deliver the game we originally saw, it pains me to know that they’ve done so for the sake of Sony & Microsoft fanboys. You cut me High Voltage, you cut me real deep.

I don’t want to end the week on a depressing note, even if it is raining in The A and I feel like the sun is mocking me high above the clouds. Gametrailers has some footage of the monstrosity that has become of The Grinder, but since it’s running on the 360 and I’m pretty sure I’d need a rush dose of Prozac if I put it up, I’m not going to. Follow the link if you enjoy pain and suffering and heart ache. (Side-note: I’m going for an all-time high mark on the depressing post scale, FYI. We can do it!!) While the news of HVS’ possible betrayal certainly is something to be angry about, EA is here to cheer us up. Apparently Spike (the channel not Mr. Lee) is going to have some sort of major NBA Jam blowout tonight that is sure to show the game in action. Thankfully the awesome guys at Kotaku have no patience for waiting and have posted a clip that shows 10 seconds of the game in action. I’m not even sure I have the words to describe the sheer fury of epicness that these 10 seconds hold, so I’ll just let you watch for yourself. As soon as any more videos of NBA Jam show up, you can find it here. Enjoy, and stay thirsty my friends.

Ok so 3 more posts today that I’ve dug up – I’m an information JUNKIE on this stuff lately. Give em a browse and let me know what ya reckon. They’re just from a few different sites I’ve been surfing lately that are generally good for information like this…

So, I was pretty sure I put this up yesterday, but I was in a flu/crappy weather induced fog and may have been imagining it. I’m not gonna treat you with one of my staple pre-news rants today, so let’s jump right in…

If you pay any attention to the world of gaming then you know that this week is the annual Game Developers Conference in San Francisco. As with every major gaming conference, my invitation and press passes were lost in the mail. Luckily the interwebs, in all her Nobel Prize nominated glory, has my back. The biggest thing out of GDC so far is Sony’s announcement of Playstation Move, the company’s take on motion controls.

See More PlayStation Move Various at IGN.com

A ton has been made about the obvious similarities between PSMove & Nintendo’s own Wiimote. Yes, the controllers do look a like. Yes, there is a nunchuck styled add-on that Sony has dubbed “the Subcontroller.” (Side-note: Nunchucks are cool and all but I’d be more afraid of a ninja who told me to hold on a second while he prepared his subcontroller than one who had me wait for him to get his nunchucks out. I mean, it sounds like something that could be easily be described as being at Defcon 4. Just sayin’…) And yes, they both are focused on party/family games despite the Kool-Aid each respective company wants us to drink. Basically, Sony realized they liked Wii flavored Skittles so decided to come out with their own flavor and call it something else. I’m sure you’re thinking that as a distinguished and well known author who focuses on the Wii that I’d be appalled by this. Hate to break it to you, but I’m not. In fact, I have high hopes that this will help, rather than hinder, both the Wii and the PS3. I’m gonna put it out there right now: Sony & Ninty will learn to play nice and may even become best friends, even if only for a bit…

I’m known more for being completely BA and a bit cynical than I am for making predictions, but I’ve got three predictions on how this will affect the Wii. (Side-note: I’m aware of the fact that my words carry a bit of weight around the internets, but neither myself nor WiiSpin feel comfortable enough putting any sort of guarantee on these predictions. In fact, let’s go ahead and say that it’s entirely possible that none of these come to fruition. However, if they do then you all need to recognize you heard it here first. Taste the rainbow son!)

1. We’re gonna see more cross platform games specializing in motion control and the number of ports is likely to explode. We already know that the previously Wii exclusive title, The Lord of the Rings: Aragon’s Quest, is being ported to the PS3 with full motion support, don’t be surprised to realize this is just the first of many games on either side to get that fancy port treatment.

2. Nintendo is going to step up it’s game when it comes to online multiplayer gaming. The amount of gamers that list MP support as their top criteria for buying a game is growing exponentially. While Sony’s PSN is not quite as fleshed out as Xbox Live, it completely rapes Nintendo’s lack of anything substantial. I highly doubt Ninty will feel the pressure to announce a Wii HD to compete with Sony, but introducing a plan to make a network that encourages online play could be the next best thing.

3. Sony & Nintendo are about to leave Microsoft in the dust. I know that MS is planning to release their own spin on motion gaming to the 360 via Project Natal, I just don’t think it’s going to have the impact they hope it will. In fact, I kinda think it will fail almost as hard as I believe the iPad is going to. Don’t sleep, MS will still be a major player in the gaming world, I just believe that PSMove & Wii are made by superior companies with a track record of releasing quality products. If you’ve ever been attacked by red rings or blue screens of death you know what I’m talking about.

Well, that was my nearly 700 word reaction to the only keynote from GDC I’ve seen so far, who knows how I’ll react if Ninty responds in a major way. I don’t think it’ll happen, but there’s still a lot more to come from San Fran, you can count on me giving you the best of what’s revealed. Since this post was extremely picture heavy, and stupidly wordy, let’s wrap it up with a brand new video from Big Boi of Outkast. Dude is ridiculous and the absence of he and Andre 3000 have left a gaping hole in the landscape that is hip-hop that will only be filled if and when the duo that put Atlanta on the map get back in the studio. Enjoy, and stay thirsty my friends.

So, I had some friends come up a couple weeks ago for a bachelor party and one of the things we did was go to a Hawks game. After showing up like halfway through the second quarter due to poor planning, we kinda started to enjoy ourselves. That is, until the ridiculously obnoxious pack of 10 year old hyenas two rows down became almost unbearable. Ugh. I mean, is there anything more annoying than a group of 10-12 year old boys? I really don’t think there could be. If I was like terminally ill and got accepted to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, I’d wish that I could beat up an 11 year old boy. Don’t get freaked out, I don’t want to like cripple him or break his nose or do any kind of permanent damage. I’d want it to be like a videogame or something. Probably more Tekken than Mortal Kombat, even I may feel bad when I “FATALITY” an 11 year old. (Side-note: If the whole fight thing wasn’t allowed I’d wish that I could take an 11 year old to his favorite place or game or whatever and buy myself every snack, hat, jersey and anything else he’d want while I didn’t get him anything. The look on his face would be priceless!!) I’d want it to be like nothing happened to him afterwards, but he’d sure as hell remember it and that would allow me to go in peace…

Yesterday was Monday, and on Monday we get new WiiWare & VC games to download. The cream of the crop this week is Max & The Magic Marker. The game is your typical 2D platformer which stars Max as he uses his “Magic” marker to get around the world and defeat the bad guys. As you’d suspect, the Wiimote acts as the marker and everything you “draw” shows up in the game. If Max needs a bridge to get over a gap, just draw it. If Max needs a hill to roll down, just draw it. It’s that simple really. The game, and it’s developers Press Play, have received tons of awards and accolades for this innovative title, so you may want to go ahead and drop the 1000 points on this one. If you’re interested in checking out what the game looks like in motion, just look below. And, just for fun, here’s a link where you can see everything that’s new on WiiWare & the VC this week, which includes the SNES classic Final Fantasy 2. Finally, because I’m hyped over their return, I’m gonna give you the newest video from Reflection Eternal whose album is set to drop April 6. It rarely gets better than Kweli & Hi-Tek teaming up, and I can’t wait to hear the rest. Enjoy, and stay thirsty my friends.

If you feel bored doing exercise, Nintendo Wii Fit is what you are looking for. It has a game concept as exercise.  Wii fit uses a unique Wii balanced board that allows software to calculate players or users body mass index and determine user’s height.  It has 50 different activities which includes yoga poses, push ups, and some other exercises.  

Wii fit really takes a whole new concept of games in the form of exercise. Indeed, Nintendo takes a new level of games as exercise. If you wanted to lose weight, this game might be the one you are looking for.

Interesting exercise from Wii fit is:

1. Yoga – yoga posses starts off with simple and easy at first. It teaches right and deep breathing and some light stretches. As you go along,  if you reached enough points by keeping balanced in every exercises, you will unlock new yoga posses or number of repititions.
2. Strength training – Strength training includes push ups, plank poses, leg lifts, squats, and others that improves your core strength and muscle tone.
3. Aerobics – Aerobics exercises includes jogging, hula hoop and rhythm boxing.

Wii fit is really doing something right! This is a new way of losing weight. Actually, it’s not a game, it is an exercise. After 15 – 30 minutes you will surely feel great towards Wii fitness. This game, or shall we say exercise comes on a single disc and a board as mentioned earlier. This balanced board communicates with Wii console wirelessly. Most exercise are short and basic at first. But the as you do more, and the longer time you spend with it, new exercise will be added.

My friend plugged in her wii and turned it on, when she did only the audio was playing but there was no image appearing on the screen. She tried unplugging it and plugging it back in. She also tried taking the game out and putting it back in, and she checked all the cables to make sure they were all plugged in properly. I dont think there is a possibility that any of the parts are worn out because she barely uses it, and it practically new she bought in december.

Is this a popular defect with wii's?

Does anyone know what is wrong with it and how to fix it?

If we have to go out and have it fixed how much would it cost?

All day long the heavens have been dumping this horrible rain/snow/slush mix all over The A. It’s almost like it can’t decide what it wants to be, or exactly how much it wants to inconvenience me. I mean, snow I can handle, and we’ve had a bit this year. Sure, I won’t be getting off early or have a day off, but at least it looks nice. Rain is about the same, only without the pretty, though it is nice to curl up on the couch and stay inside on cold, rainy days. This, though, is about unbearable. I bet the weatherman have no idea what to do since it’s snowing in parts of what they call “The Atlanta Area” and other parts are probably only getting cold rain. (Side-note: Am I the only one who lives in a metro area who doesn’t give a damn what happens in the suburbs? Seriously, I don’t even know where some of these places are, yet I have to hear about a tree falling in someone’s yard, or a sinkhole eating someone’s house. I’m watching a news station based in Atlanta, just give me Atlanta news. Let those other places handle themselves. I mean, I really don’t care what happens in Kennesaw unless it’s like they found Santa Clause and he wants to give me the winning lotto numbers…) Maybe one of the “meteorologists”, I use this term loosely because I feel like they probably got their degree from Devry “University”, will get so confused his circuits will cross and we’ll find out he’s really a robot spy sent by the Decepticons to lead the first wave of attacks.

As I’ve mentioned here a ridiculous amount of times, I am retardedly hyped over the upcoming title, Red Steel 2. The sequel to Ubisoft’s launch title flop is more than just a game; it is, in my humble opinion, a measuring stick for the future of Wii gaming. The fact that Ubi has made WiiMotion+ a necessity to play the game is a bold move that many developers are sure to follow, especially if it’s a gamble that pays off. We all know the original Red Steel was a bit terrible, but RS2 looks like it will make us completely forget its flawed namesake. Not only is the game going to be stupid fun to play, it is also looking to set a major bar for game design and graphics. Everything I’ve seen of the game I’ve loved and shared. I truly believe that when Red Steel 2 launches in a few weeks, gamers everywhere will take a step back and realize how good the Wii is, and how amazingly fun it can be to play a game that incorporates motion control in an engaging manner without feeling like a dumbed down title, or even worse, a tech-demo. If you want to get a true feel of the graphics, there’s an amazing new video which shows the process of fleshing out one of the characters, Tamiko. It’s a speed drawing that, in my opinion, is jaw-dropping. Playing at 200% speed you can see almost the full process of the developers drawing out the badass love interest in the game. I will embed it in SD, but I highly recommend you checking the video in 720p, it’s absolutely gorgeous! There’s also a fairly new video showcasing some ridiculous gameplay elements that I’ll post for you guys too. Enjoy, and stay thirsty my friends.

Remember how I was bitching about needing a vacuum but being in the conundrum of thinking that only a Dyson was worth buying, even though they are super expensive? Well, Mrs. Mike and I finally had enough and purchased the miracle vacuum yesterday. (Side-note: This is where I’m at in life. Excited about buying a vacuum cleaner. Is this as good as it gets…) We had kind of had enough of looking at the dirty carpet and trying to sweep stuff off it with our hands, so when we saw one for a great price yesterday we made the leap. It’s actually really nice. I didn’t get to use it yesterday, but once we deciphered the Ikea-style directions for assembly, Mrs. Mike put it through it’s paces. (Side-note: Seriously, whoever thought of including only pictures in instruction manuals should be shot. I don’t need to read a book about how to put together a vacuum, but more than some pictures and the word “Click!”, which is used to signify it clicks into place and is right, would be nice to see. I just spent $200+ on this thing, gimme something that doesn’t make me want to punch someone in the face!!) By paces I mean she cleaned the 8×10 rug that is essentially the only thing we bought the damned thing for. Still, that rug is nice and clean again, which is quite the relief. Supposedly we can use it on all floors, which will rock because I hate sweeping almost as much as loathe Gwyneth Paltrow…

You know something I don’t loathe? Old school videogames. There’s just something about the old school/8-bit games that will always make you feel good. That’s why it’s kinda awesome that Capcom has stuck to its roots when it comes to the Mega Man franchise. Today sees the launch of the tenth game in the series, Mega Man 10. Catchy name, huh? Anyone remember the Mega Man cartoon? That was my junk for real! The game will be the one everyone has come to know and love, but will also be the first one in the series to feature an Easy Mode. That’s awesome because these games are notoriously and stupidly hard. If you’re dying to play as Proto Man, then hop onto the WiiWare channel and buy the game today for 1000 points. For a full list of all the titles hitting WiiWare & Virtual Console today, I’ll post it just below.

I also want to send big hopes, well wishes and love to Guru (of Gang Starr) and his family. The MC half of one of the most influential hip-hop duos of all time, Gang Starr, had a heart attack over the weekend and is now in a coma. Guru was a long time staple in my top 5 of all time, and his Jazzmatazz albums are true classics. If you took those alone you’d have a legend, but the work he did with DJ Premier in Gang Starr is just about second to none. My heart goes out to his family, and my wishes go out to him making a full recovery, hip-hop won’t be the same without him. I’m gonna post my all-time fave Gang Starr track, Moment of Truth, for anyone who may not know exactly how sick this dude was. Enjoy, and stay thirsty my friends.

TOKYO (AFP) –
Nintendo Co. said Thursday a Wii price cut and the popularity of new games had helped to reinvigorate sales of the hit video game console over the crucial year-end shopping season.

Nintendo has been seeking to reverse a decline in sales of the Wii, which has easily outsold Sony’s PlayStation 3 and Microsoft’s Xbox 360 since its launch in 2006 but has been struggling recently due to a lack of new games.

Wii sales got a boost over the crucial year-end season from the launch of the latest title in the “Super Mario Bros.” series for the Wii, as well as “Wii Sports Resort,” Nintendo said.

“These strong software titles, coupled with the price reduction on Wii hardware and other factors, combined to drive sales of Wii hardware strongly in the holiday season,” a company statement said.

But due to weak sales earlier in 2009, Nintendo’s net profit fell 9.4 percent to 192.6 billion yen (2.1 billion dollars) in the nine months to December from a year earlier as revenue fell 23 percent to 1.18 trillion yen.

Nintendo, which competes with Sony and Microsoft in the multi-billion dollar video game industry, sold 17.05 million Wii machines worldwide in the nine-month period, down from 20.52 million a year earlier.

Last September, Nintendo cut the price of the Wii by a fifth, the first such move since the family-friendly console was launched in 2006 with a motion-sensing controller that can simulate a gun, sword or golf club.

The Kyoto-based company maintained its forecast for a net profit of 230 billion yen in the full year to March 2010, down 17.6 percent from the previous year.

Nintendo also kept its goal of selling 20 million Wii consoles in the year.

It has sold 67.45 million Wii machines worldwide since the launch in 2006. The console was the fastest to reach the 50 million milestone, trouncing Sony’s more powerful PlayStation 3 which targeted mainly hardcore gamers.

But analysts warned Nintendo was likely to face tough competition ahead from Sony and Microsoft, which both plan to launch their own motion-sensing controllers later this year in a bid to challenge the Wii’s success.

“Nintendo had better come out with a new console or else it may lose its position,” said UBS game analyst Yuki Nakayasu. “It will all depend on who comes out with a next-generation game console.”

So, the big news today is that Tiger Woods finally broke his silence and issued a public apology. Honestly, I find it a bit unnecessary and, now that I’ve seen the apology looped on ESPN for the past four hours, a bit annoying. Dude plays golf, Mrs. Mike doesn’t even consider that a real sport. Why is it any of our business if he had an affair and got caught then tried to drive away in some kind of strange drunken-pill induced sex coma only to crash his car like 15 feet from his house and then falling asleep in the grass? Sure, he’s kind of dumb, but I don’t care what he does in his personal time. If anything, he should be apologizing to me for Debo’ing ESPN for the past 4 hours!! It’s so ridiculous, surely something else happened in the world of sports at some point in the past 24 hours!! I mean, there is the Olympics and all happening right now. But nooooo, we need to hear some guy who probably feels like the only person he should be apologizing to is himself and maybe his wife go on and on about how he messed up and hopes we forgive him. Tell you what, if ESPN stops showing this in time for me to watch PTI, I’ll forgive you. If not, you better start writing more apologies!! (Side-note: Since we’re on a sports kick so far, check the quote from Vitali Klitchscko, boxings Heavyweight Champion of the World from his retirement announcement: “I only have to win one belt. So this year I will hang up my boxing gloves. And I’ll stop visiting different cities to beat somebody’s face in.” WHAT!!?!?! That is the most BA retirement announcement of all time. I just hope he gets the chance to beat David Haye’s face in first.)

Now that we’ve got that bit of ultra-violence out of the way, let’s get all wholesome for a bit, SEGA style. I haven’t done a single post on “Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing”, and I’ve got good reason for that. You see, I’m sick of half-assed “Mario Kart” clones; since the definitive “character” racer debuted on SNES years ago, there’s been no shortage of them, and almost all of them have been crap. It seems that SEGA and Sumo Digital feel the same way, because their upcoming title actually looks pretty good. Don’t sleep, it’s still very much a Kart clone, but it looks to be one that’s done with as much individuality as possible, and with the intent of ensuring that all the fun Ninty delivers is there as well. (Side-note: I almost got uber-lame and called it a “Kart Klone”, but I chose not to. Seriously, my finger was paused above the letter k for at least a minute as I weighed the ramifications of going down that road. Yeah, these are the things I think about as I write TheSpin.) Yes, the game is going to have power ups that you drive over to collect. Yes, the game is going to be very arcadey. Yes, the game is basically going to be “Mario Kart” but with SEGA characters instead of a Nintendo cast. That’s a good thing though. If you can take all the things that Kart does right, and put your own name, label, and spin on the game, while managing to keep all the fun factors intact, then go for it. We’ll have to wait until February 23 to see if SEGA pulls it off, but judging by the trailers below, “Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing” will be giving “Mario Kart” a run for its money. (Side-note: Try to ignore the obnoxious people in the first trailer, it’s like SEGA paid them to be as cliche as possible…) Enjoy, and stay thirsty my friends.

(Side-note: As I wrote this up I had the TV on ESPN and I’m pretty sure they showed Tiger’s apology in entirety, went to a commercial break, and then started it from the beginning when they got back from the break. This is going to make me hate ESPN…)

Bionic games has really changed things up with Spypborgs since the first time Capcom unveiled the game to Wii lovers in June 2008. Bionics Games got rid of the minigames and made the gameplay a little more grown up which is good because I don’t really want to feel like I am playng a cheap cartoon version of the Power Ranges. It still has that cartoony vibe about it, but if that really is your cup of tea you are sure to be impressed.

Spyborgs has some easy basic controls to move your characters around, it is a game played best with a second player but if you prefer single player action you can alternate between both characters quite easily so that you can utilize characters best assets. It is fun to explore different combinations of characters as each have unique finishing moves and combos.

The game is still under development so there are a lot of improvements to be made. It is said that Wii MotionPlus support may feature which is indeed very exciting and makes this game more appealing.

Look out for the Spyborgs title which will be out later in the year. But for now check out this mad trailer!

Red Steel 2 has been announced to come out this Autumn. The follow up in this gun/sword slinging series is said to be built around the Wii MotionPlus Controller adding 1:1 position sensing to Wiimote meaning that now the game can sense the strength and power behind your swing yeah! Now you can add gauging the accuracy of your movements to the gameplay, lets hope this turns out to be as exciting as it sounds!

Ubisoft are now placing the gamer in a high tech desert like metropolis, have a look:

The artwork for Red Steel 2 looks amazing! A strong taste of the Old West with some metal.

The game Feel is based on The Grudge and is the new brain child of the awesome Japanese director Takashi Shimizu.

From the few images we have seen of this game it promises that specific brand of Japanese horror we have come to know and love so well with dark ghost out for revenge with long hair and creaking necks. Now you can basically shit your pants in fear while waving around a Wii remote! How awesome.

All we can do now is wait and see, but I am not going to hold my breath to see if Feel will be released in the States.

Last year the game Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles was released by Capcom on the Wii and was an enormous hit selling millions of copies world wide. Now the awesome people at Capcom are promising that the next version in the popular series will have better graphics and be improved in almost every way with a great atmosphere that will scare the living day lights out of you. The camera is being tweaked to now make you feel like you are part of The Blair Witch Project with a shaky hand held camera feel.

For now all you can do is enjoy the trailer below as there is no release date of yet. But soon Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield will be back to fight solo or combining forces (that’s right you heard it here first).

Enjoy!

New rumour out: Nintendo Wii thinking of developing games for your iPhone! Cool right, I wonder how that will work, will we just wave around our iPhone or will it come with a mini Wii remote, or will the game control be through the touch D-pad, I just can’t imagine it.

But don’t alarm yourselves just yet or start planning your train trip with a portable gaming inter phone, this is just a rumour, one that does make me droll thought. Ahh the iPhone is just awesome!

Play Wii games on your mobile

Not to talk badly about any nintendo Wii games but sometimes I cannot help but wonder how and why some games where invented.So I will now let all you lovely nintendo Wii fans in on the games that I think are the worst Nintendo Wii games ever!

Jumper:

Just because someone made a movie does not mean that a video game should automatically follow suit. If you want to know what I mean then rent (probably wouldn't buy) this game! It just makes NO sense.

Haneru no Tobira Wii: Girigirissu:

I can't say that I am into games based on TV Gameshows, even if this is a quirky Japanese weird as F gameshow. It is a pure rip-off of the TV show and will fail to maintain your interest for very long, unless your have a strange ass Japanese game show fetish!

Ninjabread Man:

Only buy this if you are into throwing your games against the wall in a fit of rage at how shit this is. Probably worst game EVER! But I will leave it up to you to decide for yourself muahahahaha

Check out this neat little trailer for the eagerly awaited EA's Grand Slam Tennis. I have been waiting for this game to come out for a looong time, the hype says that the incorporation of the Wii-Motion Plus is meant to be perfect in this game. I think this may just be the best Wii sport game yet.

Enough rambling from me, have a look for yourselves!

It appears that the developer Rockstar (of GTA fame) and publishers Take 2 are finally warming up to the Nintendo Wii. If ´Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars´ on the DS turns out to be successful then hopefully Rockstar will be prompted to bring the wonderful GTA franchise to the Nintendo Wii.

EA Sports Active is an awesome game that is designed to keep you fit by working out specific parts of your body. Have a look at the following trailer to see EA Sports Active in action.

What do you make of this Nintendo Wii game?

One of the best things about video games is that it takes you back to simpler times. I remember playing Mike Tyson's Punch-Out! as a kid and the amount of time and devotion that went into learning by heart when it was secure to go for Iron mike or when a punch was going to come at me from Bald Bull. It was totally insane! The accomplishment I felt from beating Mike Tyson for the first time was indescribable and you better believe I invited the neighbour kids over to witness my accomplishment.

Nintendo chose to bring back this old favourite! although 8-bit glory for Little Mac and Doc Louis is a thing of the past, from the looks of this new game it appears that Next Level Games is going for a cartoon looking game which is not that bad. Luckly this is a Nintendo classic game as I don't believe that XBOX or PS3 would do it justice. This version of Punch Out! is as you would expect (from the trailers anyway) going to deliver much of what we used to love as kids with the added benefits of awesome graphics, with the use of the classic controller for those of your who want to play the old way (yay! just like when we were kids), if you do not feel like going old school you can use the Wii mote and Nunchuck to throw punches and block.

The new Punchout! will have 13 fighters. With old favourites such as Von Kaiser and Glass Joe and new ones like Disco Kid. Punch-Out! will be out on the 19th of May. Below are some cool teaser trailers!

Wii Fit is an enormous success all over the world. The balance board is often very difficult to obtain as it sells out instantly. This could be hailed as a indication that many people are getting the Wii Fit for their family, to keep them fit, healthy and in good shape. It is no surprise that Wii Fit is hailed as one of the best fitness products out there particularly when combined with EA Sports Active.

EA Sports Active is amazing as it follows all all the movements you make. Just maintain the nunchuk strapped to your leg and you will see movements on the screens depending on the parts of your body that you are moving.This way you can track your work outs more accurately and target specific parts of your body.

Make sure you also get the resistance band that comes with EA Sports Active. It is so easy to use and eliminates the need for weights.

You get reports from your personal trainer telling you about your achievements and other cool stats. Make sure you try out the 30 days challenge mode, you will be losing weight in no time by working out 20 mins a day and burning up those calories while having fun.

People often don’t realize that throughout a console’s lifespan, its internal components are constantly changing with newer releases. Game console developers take advantage of the technological improvements that take place during the console’s life to make it cheaper and more efficient. Nintendo is reportedly considering changing the accelerometer in the Wii remote. The change would most likely make the console cheaper to produce and more reliable. So far Nintendo has neither confirmed nor denied the rumor. Some analysts are skeptical as to a Wii price cut however. With the Wii still enjoying unprecedented popularity, Nintendo has no reason to make the cut. Stay tuned for more developments on this story.
