The folly of releasing an SKU so gimped that it can’t even handle firmware updates is worth a scoff or two, especially when it was a cynical grab at undercutting the Wii’s price point, but you have to give Microsoft credit: they’ve at least come up with a solution for Xbox 360 Arcade owners who [...]

The Xbox 360 Arcade unit, with its meager of 256MB of storage, always seemed like a rather cynical neutering of the 360 to try to superficially bring the price down lower than the Wii. Which it obviously was: if you are an Xbox 360 Arcade owner and want to keep up to date with the [...]

By rebranding “Wii Points” into “Nintendo Points” you would think that this was to become an overarching account system between the Wii and the upcoming DSi.
But that is where you become disappointed to learn that the company’s new Nintendo Points won’t be transferable between the two consoles.

It’s certainly nice to see King Hippo, Glass Joe and Little Mac back, but I can’t help but feel that the cel-shaded graphics are inferior to the glorious cartoon caricatures of Super-Punch Out!
And then [...]
