Wii Third Party Games Can Be Million Sellers Too
3:40AM Flynn De Marco | I’ve often been privy to conversations where people swear that the only good Wii game is a first party Nintendo game. While this might be true for some, there are plenty of other folks out there who enjoy a decent 3rd party game although admittedly the really good ones are few and far between. More »
Wii Won’t Excommunicate You from Nintendo World
6:00PM Brian Ashcraft | A lot of people write off the Wii. Not SEGA boss Simon Jeffery. He is all about the Wii. No wonder, Sonic & Mario at the Olympic Games has done big business! Says Jeffery: I do think going forward there is very much a place for the hardcore gamers on the Wii and there’s a big opportunity for publishers to take advantage of that because we’ve seen the success of Resident Evil on Nintendo platforms… But I do also believe that a lot of Western publishers are only looking at the Wii for casual and family gaming, and I think that’s a mistake — I think there’s a lot more opportunity there on the Wii. The Wii isn’t just about Wii Tennis and Mario & Sonic; it’s about so much more. The Wii as a platform has way much more to offer than [Wii Tennis and Mario & Sonic], and hardcore gamers traditionally love Nintendo as well. There’s no reason why they should be excluded or excommunicated from the Nintendo world. Bwah? Nintendo world?! Excommunicated?! Wow, talk about being a Wii convert. This guy’s fanatical.

But the DS version, that looks like it might be worth checking out. More »
Sonic Loses to Mario Once Again
11:00PM Brian Ashcraft | That mass of red T-shirts pouring booze into Mario’s mouth is Team Mario. Look how happy they appear! They were victorious. Sonic? He and Team Sonic lost in a special competition SEGA UK had to promote Sonic and Mario at the Olympic Games. British tabloid The Sun sent along some pin-up girls, who wore red shirts (and thus, were part of the Mario Team by default). Some of the events include thug-of-war, climbing-up-an-inflated-thingy-covered-with-soap and penguin sumo wresting. You think we are kidding about the penguin sumo wrestling? We are so not. That, after the jump. More »
