Harry Potter Puts A Spell On Wii

Do your children (or perhaps you) have a fantasy of being Harry Potter? A gifted and talented wizard, Harry faces danger, intrigue and excitement each and every day. Personally,  I think I’d skip the danger. Instead, I think it’s best to just live vicariously through another realm …the video game. The brand new Happy Potter and the Ha...

Black Wii On Its Way

To Japan, at least. Nintendo has confirmed that it will release every family’s favorite console in every hip family’s favorite colour sometime in the next few months, and if all goes well, the black Wii will roll out to the rest of the world sometime afterward. Kinda makes me wish I hadn’t spray-painted ours… [Kotaku]...

2009 Toy Fair: Nerf N-Strike for Wii

Over at the Hasbro stand, we had the chance to try the new N-Strike game for Wii. It uses a convertible Nerf dart gun as wii controller to play a tween-friendly shoot-em-up-game. The game itself hasn't broken any new ground (and incedentally I was hopeless at it), but the Wii controller is very cool. As far as shoot-em up games go, this one...

Turn Your Wii Remote Into A Crossbow (Without Killing Anyone)

As shooting games go, Link's Crossbow Training is as tame as they come — essentially a 21st-century version of the old Duck Hunt so many of us used to geek out on as kids, with a Legend of Zelda theme thrown in for added nostalgia value. Anyway, the game already comes bundled with the Wii Zapper controller, but spend a few minutes with this c...

Unveiled Today: AirG Controller for Upcoming ‘PopStar Guitar’

Guitar Hero and Rock Band purists may be sniggering, but thanks to a nearly 50-song set list that includes the Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus, Maroon 5 and other pop groups that teens and tweens actually dig (no offense to Aerosmith and Blue Oyster Cult, of course), XS Games' upcoming PopStar Guitar for Wii and PS2 seizes on both games' inher...

7 Days of Video Games: Disney Princess Enchanted Journey

If you've got a Wii and a little girl who is really into princesses, then chances are you've probably looked this game over. And while in my experience it's not really a very good video game per se, it does have one thing that makes it better than most of the games on the Wii we have (and I'm not just talking about the fact th...
