Putting the Wii in Windows

Wii Feature | Wii

These days, you cant release anything technological without it being hacked, retrofitted and some new function drawn out of it. The Bluetooth basis of Nintendos motion-sensing Wiimote control made it a prime candidate for retro-engineers, and theyve already got it working on the PC.

Holiday Buyers' Guide 2006 - Wii

Wii Feature | Wii

The wait may finally be over for Nintendo's motion-sensitive console, but demand is burning stronger than ever. Right now the company couldn't earn negative press even if it planted razor-filled explosives in every 50th Wii, that's how insanely "must-have" this system is right now. But is it all justified?

SweetNES!

Wii Feature | Wii

One of the most exciting and least-talked about features of Nintendo's Wii is the ability to sell us long-lost games - without the dust and peeling labels.

After mining the best history has to offer, we present a few obscuro picks we hope to see coming to the Virtual Console... like fast. And we haven't even begun to contemplate the possible Genesis and ...

Here's why. 1) It'll cost you less Let's start with what matters most: money. Who cares if Solid Snake hacks up a photorealistic lung if it takes a second ...

Beyond the Wand

Wii Feature | Wii

Everyone's making a big fuss about the Revolution's motion-sensitive controller. And yes, the device could change the way games are played forever. It also stands an excellent chance of attracting gamers back who never touched a PS2 or Xbox. But there's more to this magic box than its eyebrow-raising wand.
