December 28, 2007

Good overview of the year the Wii made Nintendo king once more.

Wii fun

December 8, 2007

This is just superb! Brilliant satire and very clever twisting of Eminem’s lyrics!

Brilliant quote on the comments too, ladies and gentlemen I give you the casual gamer:

i like my wii just fine

but yes the graphics suck, and i dont care.
becuse im not a hardcore gamer, I dont need to see the eyelashes flutter as a I frag a bitch.

Sony vs Nintendo

July 28, 2007

The President of Sony Computer Entertainment US seems to think that a price cut induced sales boost justifies taking a swipe at the Nintendo…

They are touting casual gaming. Supposedly everybody is going to race over to casual games. The unfortunate thing is the fruits of those labors will show up two years down the road, and if the consumer tastes shift, they will find themselves all dressed up with no place to go. Link

Given that the Wii is outselling the PS3 nearly 4 to 1 in the states I don’t think Nintendo US will be doing much more than laughing at his ‘analysis’!

Smug ‘I’ve just won the bidding on an item on eBay’ grin

July 23, 2007

It’s true, been tracking this item for a few weeks now, always been pipped at the post but lucky for me I was. Tonight I won it at roughly £70 cheaper than the last time I bid for it and £270 cheaper than it’s retail cost!

All will be revealed once I’ve determined that I’ve not been ripped off, the item arrived and is actually working (gulp…).
