After hearing about Battalion Wars 2 for the Wii I was faily interested. Hearing that it will include online multiplayer, I got excited. Seeing the controls, I’m absolutely ecstatic. People who don’t think the Wii will bring about a gaming revolution simply aren’t paying attention. I’m pretty busy at work these days. That’s why you’re […]
Hooray for aggressive forum moderation!
Now maybe I won’t have to put up with idiots constantly referring to the Nintendo Wii as a “GameCube peripheral”. Trolling Crackdown on Evil Avatar
Not really news, according to 1up
There’s a “not really news” story floating around the internets today, clogging up the tubes. Evidently, Electronic Arts thinks the Nintendo Wii will retail for $170. Surprising news, right? Sure, unless you’re familiar with the news story Shacknews posted last week regarding a Japanese financial analysis firm saying that exact same thing, citing lower CPU […]
Looks like Wii60 has more power than we thought
Even the editor of the Official Playstation Magazine won’t be picking up a PS3 this year. So ultimately, I can’t justify it. $600 is a lot of money, especially when I can get what–for me at least–will be a very similar experience for $400. I would like to own a PS3, and I hope that […]
W00t! Radio chat with City of Heroes developer
Looking at my blog stats, I see that I get a LOT of hits from people searching for information on City of Heroes upcoming issue 8. So, let’s appease the masses. Matt Miller, aka “Positron”, a designer for City of Heroes and City of Villains, was interviewed the other day by W00t! Radio. In the […]
Camp Hyrule campers to contend for a Wii
I didn’t realize this when I signed up for Camp Hyrule, but evidently Nintendo is giving away a Wii to one lucky camper next week: This year, each and every registered camper will automatically be entered in a sweepstakes to win a Wii console! We’ll randomly select one camper during the Camp Hyrule 2006 Closing […]
Penny Arcade Xfire chat
The Penny Arcade guys, Jerry (Tycho) and Mike (Gabe), had a chat session hosted by Xfire earlier this evening, and zrikz over at Evil Avatar had the opportunity to sit in on the Q&A. He posted a chat log of the session (which I’ve also hosted over here). There were quite a few excellent questions […]

New alt.NPR Press Start episode up this morning: In this episode, Robert and Kyle talk to Rob Pardo, a lead designer on World of Warcraft. This is a part of our Great Games series, where we speak to the people who designed the greatest games of all time. Good stuff. If you aren’t listening to […]
Ubisoft and Midway supporting Wii
Sounds like Ubisoft and Midway are both showing a lot of love for the Wii: While speaking on a panel at the Ziff Davis Electronic Games Summit in Napa earlier today, Ubisoft North America President Laurent Detoc revealed that his company currently has seven titles in development for Nintendo’s upcoming Wii platform. This show of […]
Camelot doesn’t actually leave Nintendo, but do we care?
Evidently, it’s really hard to translate Japanese: Update: Looks like we jumped the gun. Most sources, including Camelot’s official website, seem to indicate that the studio is merely branching out onto the PC platform with ‘I LOVE GOLF!’ A Wii RPG should still be in the works. Yeah. A Camelot RPG has been in the […]
