Nintendo defends Wii Music sales, says it's an "evergreen title"

Wii Sports and Wii Fit have, for the most part, sold at astronomical rates. Though, the same cannot be said for the third brother in the family, Wii Music. Reported NPD numbers say that Wii Music sold more than 50,000 units, which isn't exactly terrible. However, compared to Wii Fit, Wii Music has garnered a less successful reception. Nintendo wholeheartedly believes in the game, however, and are more than willing to defend the game's sales...

Mario Super Sluggers for Wii

Despite delivering some of the most awesome titles such as Super Mario Galaxy, Mario Kart, and Smash Bros. Brawl in the first half of 2008, my expectations from Sluggers definitely climbed manifold. But promising a great experience and really being able to deliver it are two different things. Apart from the aforementioned masterpieces, most Wii titles have been rather silly and incredibly shallow when we talk of the actual gameplay. Well, sadly Sluggers joins the kitty and turns out to be a little too simple for my liking. Reason? There is an extremely limited number of things you can do in the game.

Nintendo Wii Fit - A Month in

So, Shigeru Miyamoto somehow found himself interested in yoga one day and that's partly where the idea for Wii Fit and the Wii Balance Board was born. In a similar fashion as Wii Sports, Wii Fit is being marketed as a fun way to play games and to keep in shape. Does it live up to this promise? Well, I've been at the Wii Fit thing for about a month now, so it's about time I provide a bit of a retrospective.

Wii Music (Wii)

Wii Music is fun. It's fun even though you don't actually play music. It's fun even though it's not really a game, and it's fun even though it's not a good value, either. Very young children (from 3 to 6 years of age) will probably get the most out of conducting an orchestra, waving controllers to mimick playing steel drums, and using their Miis to make a goofy arrangement of the Super Mario Bros. theme song, but even a group of adults can get a few hours of joy from Wii Music before the novelty wears off.

10th Year of the International Nethack Tournament

Dr. Zowie writes "The 10th annual Nethack Tournament just started over at nethack.devnull.net, so put on your Hawaiian shirt, grab an expensive camera, and head for the dungeon. The tourney runs through the month of November each year, with volunteer game servers dotted around the world. Fewer than 1% of contestants actually finish the game by retrieving the Amulet of Yendor and ascending to demigodhood, but take heart: there many prizes for intermediate goals, and prizes for team effort. For those too young to remember games older than Halo, Nethack is the apotheosis of the Roguelike genre of role-playing games, rendered in ASCII. Gameplay is phenomenally complex, and the game is somewhat sadistic; there are no 'checkpoints,' so if you manage to kill yourself somewhere in the dungeon you must start over from the beginning.
