Beware, obese Americans: Wii Fit US campaign will be “biggest in history”

The general consumer never even saw the Wii coming. They were all sucked in by the clean white gleam of Nintendo’s Wii and those irresistible little Wiimotes with nary a breath of warning. Even if they hadn’t played a video game since the days ofMs. Pac-Man, they suddenly found themselves reliving some glimmer of those days in their own living room, laughing aloud, calling their parents in to come join them, experiencing the pleasure of sharing a family activity....

DJ Max Portable 3 set to crush your dreams this year

Ah,DJ Max Portable 2. Now there’s a game you immediately get … or not. For me, it was “or not” all the way. In the blink of an eye, it became overwhelmingly apparent I didn’t — and would never, under any circumstance — possess the necessary skills to be decent. Part of my soul died that day, friends. Oh hey, look at this!DJ Max Portable 3went and got itself announced! “More than 50 songs, unique modes, customizable options, and a yet-to-be-announced new feature” are what you can expect to find later this year when it releases for PSP on UMD and via PlayStation Network....

Furi isn’t flawless on Switch but it’s still darn good

Tonight there’s gonna be a jailbreak A few minutes intoFuri‘s new Nintendo Switch port and all the moments of pain, satisfaction, and calming reliefcame rushing back to me.

Ghosts ‘n Goblins Resurrection looks weirdly off

Coming to Nintendo Switch on August 05, 2025 I didn’t expectGhosts ‘n Goblinsto show up looking like this, but then again, I also wasn’t expecting Arthur to get an “all-new adventure” on Nintendo Switch.
