Nintendo Wii sells 10.10 million units, soon to surpass Xbox 360
Somewhere in Mushroom Kingdom, Shigeru and Reggie are having a party that Freddie Mercury could only dream about. Dwarves dressed up as Mario, suspicious substances being consumed off the shells of dogs dressed up as Bowser, and a bevvy of beauties resembling Princess Peach prancing around in pink satin frocks…
iPhone hack gives NES Emulator: Super Mario Bros here we come!
The latest in an increasing number of iPhone hacks is a pretty cool one: an NES Emulator.
Forget proof of concept “Hello World” applications – they’re useful but boring. This application, which works on any “Jailbreak” (hacked) iPhone, allows you to play complete NES games, including Super Mario Bros and The Legend of Zelda, just a little slower than an actual NES console or a standard emulator.
Wii will rock you: Philo-san make world's first Mii music video
Philo-san? Who? No idea. I like that nice Amy Winehouse though. Sadly, La Wino hasn't seen fit to make a video entirely made up of Mii avatars jigging about inside a pseudo Guitar Hero rhythm-action game. Philo-san, on the other hand, have. It's this year's 'OK Go on treadmills', trust me.
The curious riddle of PS3 v Wii sales in Japan
More proof that statistics can be used to prove pretty much any view you like. There’ve been several reports on how Wii and PS3 are doing in Japan this week, yet with two considerably different spins on their respective fortunes.
Nintendo Wii plagued with another offensive phrase, this time in Zach and Wiki: Quest for Barbaro's Treasure
img style=”margin:5px; float: left;”alt=”zach-n-wiki.thumbnail.jpg” src=”https://www.techdigest.tv/zach-n-wiki.thumbnail.jpg” width=”128″ height=”89″ /> Uh-oh, not another sensitive word/phrase discovered in a Wii game, what on earth are Shigsy, Reggie and co. trying to do, alienate the entire world?!
WiiWii has reported that in the new Zach and Wiki: Quest for Barbaro’s Treasure Wii game, the Islamic phrase ‘Allahu akbar’…
A letter to George Harrison, Nintendo's recently-resigned Senior Vice President of Marketing
Dear George Harrison,
Not you, glorious Beatles guitarist, back in your box you go. Err, grave. You, Mr. Harrison, you of Nintendo-fame. Yes, you, who just resigned as Ninty’s Senior Vice President of Marketing after 15 long years at the company. I’ve got a few little things I want to talk to you about, so better grab a chair and a nice stiff drink. Yes, one for me too, atta boy.
There’s been lots of rumours the past few months about you resigning from the company possibly due to your hesitance at moving the family from Washington to your new sales and marketing division in Redwood City, California. All very noble, wanting to put the interests of your family before those of Reggie and co. at Nintendo, but really, George, slightly disappointing behaviour I have to say…
Viva Piñata to start growing Piñatas in Nintendo DS's gardens
Viva Piñata is definitely one of those sandbox/life-sim games that our fellow Tech Digest editor Stuart refers to as AIQBNWWIEs, or ‘actually-i’m-quite-bored-now-when-will-it-end’ games. Not really suited to the Xbox 360’s stationary existence, the fact that it’s taken Microsoft and Rare this long to approach Nintendo about placing it on the DS platform is quite surprising…
Offensive word taken out of Mario Party 8, Wii game re-released August 3rd
Your poor, frazzled, politically correct soul can rest easy tonight, as WiiWii has reported that Nintendo just removed that naughty word from Mario Party 8, and it’ll be re-available from August 3rd, something which will no doubt please Martha Stewart, who turns 66 that day. As we know she’s such a fan of the Wii, after all…
Shiny Video Review: The Nintendo Wii, Sony PS3, Xbox 360, Nintendo DS and Sony PSP pitted against one another
I somehow managed to twist Gary Cutlack’s arm and forced him into his video debut for Tech Digest. If you’re a fan of his gaming-related rantings over at UK Resistance and gadgets…
Martha Stewart gives her seal of approval to the Nintendo Wii in Wired Magazine
Could it be possible that the Wii has finally crashed and burned, and is now lying on our shag pile by the telly in a heap of ashes? I ask this of you, dear readers, as it’s come to our attention via WiiWii that my favourite-magazine-on-earth, Wired, has a picture of Martha Stewart icing a Wii cake on next month’s cover. Has the Wii finally jumped the shark?…
