"Video game competitions are nothing new, and have even managed to create a new job as a professional gamer. However, what Nintendo plans on doing will require a little bit of activity, and even less dignity. The Wii Olympics are coming."
"A thrifty gamer is a happy gamer so we've scoured the Sunday ads to find the best video game deals for this week from local stores for the Playstation 3, PSP, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS, and PC for the week of May 9, 2010."
"Last night, the GAME British Academy Video Games Awards ceremony took place in London, with a number of shocking results. While few would argue that Batman: Arkham Asylum found itself up against some tough competition for the coveted Game of the Year award, the fact that Rocksteady Studios walked away with the award will certainly be a boon to UK videogame development. However, another winner is now going to be a benefit to the UK’s gaming public, as the UK’s largest high street videogames re..."
"Unsurprising as the announcement may be, it has been revealed today that Square Enix’s highly-anticipated Final Fantasy XIII has taken the top spot in the UK’s multi-format sales chart for the week ending March 13th, 2010.

"Following Electronic Theatre’s report on the North American release of black Wii controllers earlier this morning, Nintendo have confirmed that the Wii console is about to get an exciting new look as it launches across Europe in sleek black."
"The new Wii console bundle, originally revealed by Electronic Theatre last month, has now arrived at UK retail and is available for consumer purchase. The new bundle has not received a reduction in price as many had anticipated, but rather added in more value through additional hardware and software."
"Nintendo have today confirmed that the UK will receive a brand new hardware bundle for the hugely successful Wii console on October 2nd, 2009. As Electronic Theatre have previously suggested, the bundle will not reduce in price, but instead add more value to the existing package."
"By adding the Wii Party Time Generator application to your personal Facebook page, you will have the ability to invite all of your Facebook pals to friendly Wii Sports Resort competitions. You can set up parties, host tournaments, post scores and results, view medals and trophies, share photos from your Wii Sports Resort tournament and even do some trash talking."
"Nintendo have announced today that Wii Sports Resort, the action-packed game that is the first from Nintendo to make full use of the Wii MotionPlus accessory, has generated strong sales across Europe in its first month since launch, passing the one million mark."
"Further to the extensive conference line-up was the opportunity for both press and attending public to sample some of the latest titles, along with a handful of yet-to-be-released games. Eidos proved to be on good form, as seems to have been the case more-often-than-not recently, showing both Mini-Ninjas and Batman: Arkham Asylum on Xbox 360."
"Edinburgh Interactive, part of the Edinburgh Festival, will deliver a lively mix of conference sessions, games screenings and free gameplay across 13th and 14th August 2009 at Edinburgh Corn Exchange in the heart of Edinburgh. Come along and join Electronic Theatre this Thursday and Friday to play some of this year’s biggest titles including Batman: Arkham Asylum and Nintendo’s Wii Sports Resort among others."
Here's a list of this weeks game releases, both on- and offline. The most popular retail titles are Wii Sports Resort on Wii, The King of Fighters XII on PS3 & Xbox 360 and BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger Standard Edition on PS3 & Xbox 360.
At long last, Marvel vs. Capcom 2 sees re-release this week on Xbox LIVE Arcade -- get your fight sticks ready, boys and girls.
Aside from that, Capcom delivers more with the ad-ridden Bionic Commando on PC, the very unique and atmospheric adventure Memento Mori (means "Remember you shall die"), SNK and Ignition brings us the twelfth iteration in the King of Fighters series, and Nintendo brings us some sports...thing (hey, I never said these lists weren't biased).
Until next time!
"This morning, Nintendo has announced a very special launch event for the highly anticipated follow-up to one of the best selling videogames ever; a tropical island party."
"Nintendo will be taking over the strip in Times Square known as Military Island and reforming it for a good six hours into a beach resort. Complete with a swimming pool, a sandy beach, and a lounge. In the middle of Times Square!?"
Nintendo's made some announcements regarding games that will be hitting Japan during summer. Japanese gamers get to look forward to the Wii Sports Resort bundle which will be released on June 25. The Wii Motion Plus add-on will be released separately simultaneously for use with EA's Grand Slam Tennis and Alpha Unit's battling simulation, Batting Revolution.

According to a new video released on the Japanese website two new sports have been confirmed for Wii Sports Resort which uses Wii MotionPlus Controls. The two new sports include Golf, a former Wii Sports game, and Table Tennis.
"Although he did not name any names, it wouldn't be surprising if this turned out to be the other console manufacturers, Sony and Microsoft. After all, they both already have their own motion-sensing controllers; they might be seeking to improve the tech in the next generation.
Joe Virginia, bigwig in InvenSense, has this to say about the matter:
With six degrees of freedom you can basically make any movement at all [...] Six degrees of freedom is the holy grail. [...] But if you think o..."
According to the article, the casual games are going a little too far. Nintendo always has a fun, casual game to play. There's Nintendogs, Brain Age games, Wii Sports, and tons of others! After awhile, E3 2008 bestows its greatness upon us and what games do we get? Another Wii Sports game and a music game without an air guitar. Do you agree with the article, have the casual games gone too far?
Announced during E3 2008, WiiMotionPlus allows you to have more control in a game; any move you make with your hand will affect the game.
Game Informer recently interviewed third-party devs about the WiiMotionPlus; they feel annoyed and betrayed by the device. None of them knew about it until E3, along with everyone else; as a result no games will be able to support it for six to nine months.
Your first chance to snag this control-enhancing device will be in a bundle. The bundle will c...
