Wii gamers experiencing lag when playing near microwaves
Whoever has their TV and Wii set up in their kitchen is asking for trouble, or perhaps something larger than a studio flat, but it seems there are enough gamers out there experiencing problems to garner internet interest in the story. Plus, anything to mock up a microwave/Wii-mote Photoshop hybrid, really….
Modders hack the Nintendo Wii to play DVDs
Now, although I’m a firm Wii fangirl, I’m not immune to admitting there were a few discrepancies between the features first mentioned when the Wii was announced, and what consumers were actually left with after the console hit the shelves. Every gaming manufacturer does it, although none quite as drastically as Sony with the PS3, as any avid reader of Gary’s UK Resistance knows all too well during those months when Europe was at war….
PS2 game Okami now playable as online mini-game, even on Wii
Okami, the game which pleased the Japanese and North Americans immensely in 2006, and us Europeans and Australians even more so in 2007, has finally been lovingly transformed into a short online version by a fan. Available officially only on the PS2, the fan-created browser version can even be played on the Wii using Opera…
Xbox 360 Core drops to same price as Wii in Australia
Those Aussies sure are a strange bunch, I should know, I was born there! The latest What The Hell Were They Thinking?! story comes from WiiWii, who are reporting that the recent price drop in Australia of the Xbox 360 Core model is now the exact same price as the Nintendo Wii. Whoops…
WiiWii review the Japanese Nintendo DS game Otona No DS Kao Training (Face Training)
Hello, cute WiiWii freelancer! It’s hard working at Shiny Media sometimes when we have so many freelancers spread throughout the country, often we have no idea what they look like. Until now, thanks to Chris’s recent review of the new DS game Face Training, which comes with an external camera, allowing THE WHOLE WORLD to view Chris’s bespeckled charm. Sigh.
Otona No DS Kao Training, or Face Training, if you will, was released earlier this month in Japan, but the lucky WiiWii-er managed to snag a copy for review purposes. He claims it probably won’t see a release outside of Japan, which is a shame, as judging by his verdict on the game and external camera, it sounds worth buying…
Guitar Hero III to get wireless controllers for PS3, Wii and Xbox 360
Isn’t Guitar Hero the only console game where you’d actually want a cabled controller? Busting hot riffs while popping scissor kicks in your spray-on leather kecks ain’t the same if you’re not constantly fighting not to trip over a flailing wire, after all. But still, it seems that the upcoming Guitar Hero III will come with wireless guitars on all three formats: PS3, Wii and Xbox 360.
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…
Play Xbox 360 games using your Wii controller
What's the point of that? DON'T BUG ME WITH YOUR CYNICISM, this is cutting-edge hackery and no mistake. Someone's figured out how to control Xbox 360 games using a Wiimote.
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.
