Nyko Charger for Wii


The Nyko charging station for the Wii can recharge two Wii remotes at the same time! If you didn't know, the Wii Remotes each have two AA batteries in them. They usually run out fairly quickly, and frankly, it's a hassle. No more! With this charging station, you can charge 'em effectively! The only downside is that the blasted thing is $30. This is a bit much, compared to the low price you could buy 4 AA batteries for. Useless? No. It's really all about convenience. If you don't mind going to the store all the time, and having to keep watch of your battery level, along with throwing out all of the old ones, please, don't even buy this charger. If you're Mr.Conveinient, who says, "I think I'll just drop 'em in here after I'm done!", buy it. Pretty snazzy device, by the way.

Wii Ranks #1 on Ebay Most-Searched


Ebay, the most popular buying and selling site on the web, has claimed the Ninetendo Wii to be the most searched for item out of all. It's even gotten above "Snippets of Britney Spears Human Hair" (which is really gross by the way), ranked number two. Xbox 360 and the PS3 took in 3rd and 4th. So, all of you naysayers of the Nintendo Wii, I have to say this:
Haha.
It's not that the system is better, it just that it sells more. So all of you people who say "Wii is for fagots!!111one. Is it teh suckage!", well, there's apparently more "fagots" than Ps3 and Xbox 360 owners. I enjoy listening to PS3 fans telling me how much my system sucks, and how lame it is. It makes them look retarded. Oh, forgot to tell you, this article is slightly slanted towards the Wii. In case you haven't noticed.

Wii Gives Sims a New Look


Recently, EA announced it would be making a Sims game for the Wii. But, when I say "Sims", you think of.....Adults. Realism. Not so much with this title, my dear friends. EA has created a new style for the Sims games. The Sims, as we know, is a very popular game series. It's debuted in the U.S. and Europe only so far. EA said that this new style is exactly what they need for approval of the game overseas in Japan. The new style looks like a child's book, with numerous manga-style facial expressions. While they take on a completely new look for the Wii game, the game play remains unchanged. This nun chuck is used to select different materials, and the Wii remote is used to point them to where you want to go. The characters are once again highly customizable, and can be used to reflect your style. In the game, you have to buy the townspeople items, or do favors for them. In return, they'll give you new fabrics and building materials to work with. Will this great series live up to its name in this new Wii overhaul? We'll see.

The Voice of Mario Speaks


Charles Martinet is the voice actor in the recent Mario games, and will be acting once again as every one's favorite plumber in the upcoming Wii title Super Mario Galaxy. He talked to the U.K. publication The Sun. Here's what he had to say:

Mario Galaxy is going to be the most exciting, amazing fun ever. I played a little preview of it and I had Goosebumps of joy and was giddy with laughter. The new Wii controller has so much versatility and makes possible all these things you could never imagine doing before.

It is like magic. This game takes it to a completely different level for Mario. I’m not allowed to reveal yet what I say in Galaxy but I can tell you there will be some surprises.
