Wii News | Wii

Dec 21, 2007 As we come to the end of one of the hottest years on record, join us for a look back at the game trailers that teased, prodded, and provoked us into a frenzy. Here, at year's end, let us look back at the many ways that trailers enrich our lives and be thankful for these precious moments we've shared. Amidst all the hype and hustle of an industry gone mad with profits, these are the trailers that truly stood out from the crowd. They're all here, the dizzying walkthroughs, the ... » Read More

Holiday Download Guide

Wii News | Wii

Dec 21, 2007 December is the month of giving and, better yet, receiving. December is the month when sugarplum visions of $400 consoles and $60 games dance through your head. And, of course, December is the month when your loved ones usually just cheap out and buy you a gift card instead. So long as that gift card is an online points card from Microsoft, Sony or Nintendo, however, you'll be alright. With so much downloadable content available for so little money, you could stretch a few ... » Read More

GamesRadar's seemingly annual Platinum Chalice...

Wii News | Wii

Dec 20, 2007 Another year, another collection of meaningless awards for games you already knew were good. So, instead of desperately waiting for other people to re-affirm opinions you already had, why not read a whole choking list of awards that celebrate 2007 in a slightly different way? Last year's Potentially Annual Platinum Chalice awards were met with such deafening acclaim (you saw the parade, right?) that we simply had to follow through and make them a grand, yearly tradition like ... » Read More

Fils-Aime: Shortages making 2008 complicated

Wii News | Wii

Dec 20, 2007 Reggie Fils-Aime says that current stock shortages of its market leading Wii and DS systems are complicating other areas of its business. Nintendo has been accused more than once this year of holding back Wii hardware shipments, and even of over-playing its inability to meet demand, but the seriousness of its stock problems is becoming more apparent as the year draws to a close, with some analysts suggesting Nintendo's Wii drought is set to cost the company more than $1 billion ... » Read More

Hollywood heavyweight goes game developer

Wii News | Wii

Dec 19, 2007 Heavyweight movie producer Jerry Bruckheimer is teaming up with MTV Games to produce new entertainment properties that will begin life as games. "Video games represent a new and innovative medium for what we've always tried to do, which is to tell great stories. But this medium is unique in that it gives the player control over how those stories unfold," Bruckheimer (reportedly) says. "I look forward to working with MTV Games to create new original game stories, always looking ... » Read More

Wii News | Wii

Dec 19, 2007 Nintendo Japan has updated its Virtual Console website page, sparking speculation that the platform holder will imminently expand its offering of classic titles from systems of old. As reported by Kotaku, the redesigned site now displays eight console boxes despite the fact that there are only six systems currently supported on the Wii's Virtual Console, which enables Wii owners to download classic titles from older systems such as its NES and SNES consoles. Kotaku goes on to ... » Read More

E3 back from the dead?

Wii News | Wii

Dec 18, 2007 The Entertainment Software Association has confirmed that the E3 Media & Business Summit will be returning back to its historic digs at the Los Angeles Convention Center next year. Is the 'old' super-sized E3 back from the dead? Not quite. “We are very much not going back to the old E3,” Rich Taylor, senior vice president of communications and research for the ESA, told Kotaku. “I think we are all on the same page for the industry on what we want those days in ... » Read More

Is Sega next on the merger bandwagon?

Wii News | Wii

Dec 17, 2007 Sega could be next on the acquisition bandwagon following the shock merger of Activision and Vivendi, Sega Europe boss Mike Hayes has said. Speaking to MCV, Hayes said that Sega could be the next company to buy out its rival (presumably not Nintendo, though). His statement comes as collaboration project Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games tops the UK sales charts. "The growth challenge is never over," he said. "Therefore, like most other publishers, we are always on the ... » Read More

The Top 7... Most Evil Games

Wii News | Wii

Dec 17, 2007 The funny thing about the freedom of speech is that everyones for it until they see something that rubs them the wrong way. Take these Top 7 Most Evil Games for instance. We wish these games didnt exist. But if we want developers to have the freedom to make the games we actually want to play without having to worry about censorship fettering creativity, there needs to be a place for the ones we wouldnt touch with a ten foot pole too. What you're about to see are the most vile, ... » Read More

Game babes: A history

Wii News | Wii

Dec 14, 2007 It's fair to say that we direct all our technology into two things: boobs and bombs. Video games have exploited the latter from the moment they first appeared, so it comes as no surprise that violence has become more and more intense as gaming tech improves. So, if the bombs have gotten bigger, what about the boobs? Join us as we dive into the dreadful beginnings of women in games, then stroll through their gradual evolution from sex trophies to sex trophies with giant guns and ... » Read More

10 best drinking video games

Wii News | Wii

Dec 13, 2007 Everyone hates a dull holiday party. So, after a very scientific survey involving people raising their hands as we shouted out questions, we've determined that there are two main causes for sucky year-end get togethers. The first is relatives and friends who don't play video games. The second is sobriety. Thus, we here at GamesRadar have set out to eradicate these two poopers of the holiday party. Thanks to some surprisingly enthusiastic lab testing, we've come up with this list ... » Read More

Massive '07 games we all forgot

Wii News | Wii

December 13, 2007 With around 1,208,093 AAA-quality games released this year (yes, that's an exact statistic), it's inevitable that some of them got left behind. Nobody's got the time or money to give every great game the attention it deserves. But with this unusally high number of hot titles around right now, the effect has been surprising. Games we would otherwise have been crowing about non-stop have simply been forgotten. Completely. In fact, some of them haven't been talked about in the ... » Read More

World of Nintendo

1) Super duper Mario spaceman So this is how Mario managed to look so at home during his astronautical adventure - intensive weightlessness training with none other than Buzz Aldrin, the first man to be beaten to the moon by Neil Armstrong. Seconds after these shots were taken, Mario freaked out and brought the aircraft down with a misplaced fireball, but the occupants landed safely thanks to the spring costume and Marios giant soft head. Buzz Aldrin said: “Mario did excellent, just ... » Read More

Dec 12, 2007 Everybody loves top ten lists, so this year Next Generation decided to put one together for design decisions.

The Top 7... Games you don't want this holiday

Wii News | Wii

Dec 10, 2007 Christmas is the sad time of year when well-meaning relatives and friends waste their money on gifts you pretend to like. You know what were talking about. Sweaters youll never wear, candles youll never light, and gift cards for stores you rarely visit are just some of the typical offenders that scream “I dont know you, but I had to get you something!” But the worst presents for gamers are awful games, because you know the gift givers hands were inches away from a ... » Read More

PaRappa team jumps on Wii

Wii News | Wii

Dec 10, 2007 The creators of the cute and quirky rhythm action game PaRappa the Rapper have joined forces with Majesco to create a Wii game. Details are extremely scarce, but we do know that - probably unsurprisingly - the title from Masaya Matsuura and Rodney Alan Greenblat will be a music-based videogame built from the ground up. The game is slated for a late 2008. Masaya Matsuura has spoken of creating a game "that is conceptually unique and, above all else, fun." "We... believe our game ... » Read More

GamesRadar Holiday Buyer's Guide 2007

Wii News | Wii

Dec 7, 2007 Ah, the holidays. Whether you celebrate with a tree, a manger, a dradle, kinara candles or a Festivus pole, you can be pretty sure of two things. One: You're going to have to buy stuff for other people whether you like them or not. And two: it's not a total waste because you're going to get some loot in return as well. This process isn't inherently right or wrong, but we all know it has the potential to be a whole lot of either. So, GamesRadar is here to help you make sure you ... » Read More
