Australian Gamer Out $1.5 Million for Wii Piracy
James Burt was lucky. He snagged a copy of New Super Mario Bros. Wii a week early from a retailer, and in his own words, did something ” very stupid.” To prove he actually had the game to internet friends, he uploaded it to the vast internets, where 50,000 pirating gamers downloaded the game for [...]

31. December 2009
Digital Leisure is planning to release the lesser-known American Laser Games’ FMV title Fast Draw Showdown to WiiWare.

30. December 2009

22. December 2009
Ninja Gaiden has an odd history. Unlike other familiar NES ports such as Contra (from Konami), which took the arcade game and expanded it, Ninja Gaiden is a radically different title on the home console. In fact, the genre isn’t even the same. Instead of a beautifully paced, smooth, and engaging platformer, Ninja Gaiden began life [...]

3. November 2009
Yes, there was a reason for the “II” after Street Fighter, that was Fighting Street. On the Virtual Console, Fighting Street is a port of the Turb CD version, which certainly did not help matters. Fighting Street is a miserable mess of a game, casting the player as Ryu (and only Ryu) in his quest to [...]
