Take a long look......are the memories coming back to you? Ahhh the glory days of the video game industry. 1991-1996 was probably the best time to be a gamer. The games were engaging, fun and for some reason the music was extremely memorable and catchy in most of them. After the death of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, the industry changed very fast. For the better? Not really

Usually Gamespot rates Wii games much lower than expected or not at all. They give this game props for many things that the IGN review said were lacking. This should tell you something about what's happened to IGN....

The game looks great though I can't say that I like hearing Bozon's voice....how dare he show himself after that horrible review of Modern Warfare on Wii. I've been playing that game so much and it is without a doubt the most addictive FPS on the Wii and the best. What do you guys think?

This is an interesting video I came across recently and I wanted to share it with you guys. Am I a fanboy? Yes, of course I am! You can't really be into having your own blog dedicated to Nintendo ( unless you're being paid) without being a fan of the company you're writing about. Enjoy the video, it has some nice points of view that you may or may not have thought about.

Well it took until a week after the game was released for them to finally get an official trailer up for the Wii owners to see. At least it was before Black Friday right?

How many of you are picking this game up today? It may not be Resident Evil 5 or a "normal" RE game, but at least Capcom has gone on record saying that Resident Evil 5 can be done now on the Wii due to the graphics alone in Darkside Chronicles. I'm going to be picking it up myself.

This game is fantastic, I'm really enjoying my time with it so far. Have you guys tried the multiplayer yet? This game is pure old school Mario with some new school tricks to keep it fresh. Enjoy.

Don't think that I'm showing this to point out that the Wii version doesn't look as good. I'm posting it to show you guys how close it actually is to the HD versions. Pretty much it was the lighting that took the biggest hit. Still looks great regardless.

"First, as far as visuals go, even though the machine its running on is technically a major downgrade, the game still looks pretty damn good, especially considering it was never intended to run on the Wii in the first place. It certainly looks better than World at War, and the framerate is much more stable this time around, which is crucial when using pointer controls. It’s only in the last two

These are some early portions of the game. If you've played Call of Duty 4 on the PC or HD systems you'd know that this looks almost identical to them minus some shadows and minor details. Looks amazing on the Wii.* update* It seems the Activision police have been at it again and have removed the nice videos of this game from Youtube. Just give it up Activision, it’s too late to try to keep this

(Click to enlarge)This is one of the screen shots that someone at Gamestop took of the display case for reserving MW on the Wii. Sad isn't it? Do we really need to be this desperate to find any new info on this game? I guess the simple answer, is "yes" unfortunately.Activision should be ashamed of themselves for not even releasing any new screens, videos or ads concerning that this game even

Video Games | Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles | PreviewXBox 360 | Playstation 3 | Nintendo WiiHopefully this will be the last on-rails experience on the Wii for a long time. Capcom seems to be putting up a good effort even if the design choice is questionable. At lease the "fill in the gaps" story will be worth checking out.

You can't keep Mario down for long, and it looks like he's coming back with a vengeance. Only a few more days and we'll finally have it.

I'm liking the art direction a lot, it's dark enough for adults but not too much for kids. This looks like might live up to it's name. Hopefully we'll get a solid release date soon.

"Japan's Nikkei Industrial daily reported today that Capcom will be bringing a multiplatform engine that it currently uses for PS3 and Xbox 360 development to the Wii as well. The company aims to improve development efficiency and cut costs. By undergoing simultaneous development, it believes that it can shave 1/5 off development costs and 1/3 off development time. Capcom currently uses its

This game is looking really good both graphically and gameplay wise. Wii Motion-Plus support will be awesome. Finally we get to play the first hardcore game that uses the accessory other than Wii sports and those few other sports games.

Video Games | New Super Mario Bros. Wii | PreviewXBox 360 | Playstation 3 | Nintendo WiiOh yes, this game is a must have. Isn't nice how Mario can just cancel out all the competition so easily? I don't know about you but watching that video just made me forget about all the other games that are coming out this year. Mario never gets old!

While granted I haven't actually played this game yet, I have a feeling that I'd enjoy playing this in the single player mode more than multiplayer. I've always liked tackling Mario games alone, and the thought of someone else there to "mess me up" is not very exciting to me. I'll have to wait and see when I play the game since everyone says multiplayer is great fun despite what I said.

I've heard that the shaky camera in this game is causing problems for many people play testing. Hopefully Capcom will include a way to turn it down in the option menu like Dead Space EX did.

I think that's all of them so far. The game looks amazing and the fact that someone finally had the guts to re-invent Mickey and make it look as good as they have is a wonderful thing.
