Hey everyone. After a recent comment in a forum thread, I got to thinking. Actually, I have thought about this several times in the past, but I never really moved forward with it. How cool would it be to have WiiNintendo t-shirts? Then, when we go to events like PAX or E3, we could represent and advertise!

We think it would be great if we our own readers/members made up some designs! Feel free to use the existing WiiNintendo logo/design as much as possible, so that things can look similar, but also be creative. We cannot wait to see what you ..read the full article

On August 7, 2010, my wife and I competed at our local Six Flags for the Wii Games Summer 2010 competition. Of course, as you all know, I am obviously a big Nintendo fan. I could not pass up an opportunity to compete. Before we signed up, we told ourselves that we were going to win. We had no idea we actually would do just that!

We competed in five grueling games of Wii Sports Resort Basketball (3-pt shoot), Mario Kart Wii, Wii Sports Resort Bowling, Wii Fit Plus Hulu Hoop, and a co-op New Super Mario Bros coin challenge. I say grueling, ..read the full article

Introduction I grew up enjoying Chuck E. Cheese. Actually, I grew up enjoying Showbiz Pizza, which eventually turned into Chuck E. Cheese’s Pizza. It was not the pizza that kept me coming back.

E3 2010 Hands-On First Impressions with hattrick

Game: Conduit 2 System: Wii

I am not usually a fan of first-person shooters; however, The Conduit was a game with which I spent several hours. While the single-player campaign was good, I found myself spending most of the time online playing against others. As a follow-up to the ground-breaking Wii FPS, High Voltage is brining Conduit 2 with even more punch and pizzazz. With the combination of 4-player local, co-op, and stages that take place all across the world, Conduit 2 is shaping up to be a lot of fun. After some hands-on ..read the full article

E3 2010 Hands-On First Impressions with hattrick

Game: Sonic Colors System: Wii

In a world where the Sonic name has been scarred in many peoples’ eyes, Sonic Colors was not on my list of “need to play” games at E3. However, I will admit that I was floored by how good this game looks. Top that off with the fact that I honestly had fun while playing. It has been quite a while since I have been excited about a Sonic game. In fact, I cannot remember the last time. Now, with 2 Sonic titles coming soon for Wii, it is ..read the full article
