Friday Video: Makin’ those Miis

Friday, March 16th, 2007

Filed under: Video Yeah, you’ve probably seen this one already, and that’s okay. You don’t have to watch it again if you don’t want to (but we think it’s pretty cool). But Nintendo’s latest Wii ads are not only effective, but they reflect the Mii craze that is such a big ...

Devour this Gamecube Kirby video, gain its power

Thursday, March 15th, 2007

Filed under: Video We caught this trailer from the unreleased Gamecube Kirby platformer on Gamevideos, and we are agape. Stunned. We think that given the choice to release this or Kirby Air Ride, Nintendo may have chosen poorly. Kirby is clearly using HAL’s Super Smash Bros. Melee engine, and to awesome effect, ...

Monday, March 12th, 2007

Filed under: Fan stuff, Video Nintendo recently sent out a press release stating the company would be airing some new commercials, focusing on Mii creation and the fun one has during. We never posted a story about it because, let’s be honest, it would’ve been a waste of everyone’s time. Now ...

Filed under: News, Video EA Sports demonstrated its commitment to making the Wii port of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07 a success by casting the title star for the game’s commercial. While this move seems like an obvious one, it would have been easy to just fill the 30-second spot with ...

GDC 07: Look at that Miyamoto keynote line

Friday, March 9th, 2007

Filed under: Fan stuff, Video In taking video of roughly half the line outside of the entry to Miyamoto’s keynote at GDC, we’re shocked and amazed at just how incredibly large the line is.

Thursday, March 8th, 2007

Filed under: News, Video Scrutinizing Miyamoto’s GDC keynote for information on upcoming games might have been about as productive as trying to squeeze water from a rock, but the new Super Mario Galaxy gameplay trailer and screenshots that were brought out did not disappoint. Along with the clips of planet-hopping and lava ...

Tamagotchi Party On! gameplay videos

Wednesday, March 7th, 2007

Filed under: News, Video Why didn’t anyone tell us that Tamagotchi: Party On! was so adorable? We could have been staring dreamily at it since the Japanese Wii launch. What a missed opportunity. Party On! is a minigame collection about trying to become the president of Tamagotchi Planet, and is full of ...

Eyeshield 21 gameplay video

Monday, March 5th, 2007

Filed under: Imports, Video It is extremely weird to see American football presented in an anime style, with special moves and speedlines and everything. That’s exactly what is on display in this video of the anime-based sports game, visible over at Siliconera. We don’t know the first thing about football, but ...

Thursday, March 1st, 2007

Filed under: Fan stuff, How-tos, Cheats, Video Remember when we talked about tricking your Wii into accepting GC discs that were not in your region? Well, we would’ve loved to have demonstrated the trick for you in video form, but we didn’t have any import GameCube games to try the trick ...
