Tempted by the rare, expensive and fashionable black Wii? You’re not the only one. Sometimes frustrated by how narrow the Wiimote’s D-pad can be when you’re swinging it around? Maybe? Accessory maker Shinobii are betting that enough people will want a black Wiimote and a wider D-pad as they’ve released the Xcross Remote. It’s black. […]
Transformers: War For Cybertron Trailer
Check out the trailer for the new Transformers game coming to Wii, PS3, XBox and Windows this summer
Rabbids in your iPhone with Rabbids Go Phone
I’m a great fan of the Rabbid’s Wii games. They’re a spin off from the Rayman franchise and about a million times as fun. Ubisoft’s latest venture with the loudmouthed and cheeky rabbids is away from the Wii and towards another incredibly popular casual gaming device – the iphone. Not only can you shake your […]
Wii Sniper Rifle ships next week
Do we need a sniper rifle for Wii games? Hardware manufacturer CTA thinks so. Having already produced a £25 “Sure Shot Rifle” CTA have presumably tested the market and seen the need.

Rabbids in panties
Rabbids Lab sounded like a fun game – your own virtual Rabbid living in your wiimote. A rabbid which you could dress up and customise. I’m not sure this promotional video does the wiiware game any favours though. It just looks a bit… lacking. There doesn’t seem to be all that many options for your […]

Hull, UK / Yorkshire based Independent development studio, The Code Monkeys have launched their pick-up-and-play party game, Manic Monkey Mayhem on WiiWare. Imagine if the script writers of Dodgeball invited Mr Del Monte over for a few Brahma Beers and they stuck […]
Darkside Chronicles launch trailer
Just to remind you – this a trailer for a Wii game. Yep! It doesn’t look very Wii but that’s exactly what it is. This is the Resident Evil franchise keeping itself alive through clever use of undeath. It’ll be out in Europe on the 27th. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1orA__5sKI
