Wii Warm Up: Wii = Wii Sports {Joystiq Nintendo}
Jul 1st 2007 11:37AM Wii Sports 2? Release a new one every 6 months? I think they'd run out of sports.
Full fledged individual games from Wii Sports, now that's a great idea. Wii Sports: Golf would rival Tigers Woods, simply because the one to one swing is so much more fun. Wii Sports Bowling wouldn't need any changes, just create a league/amateur/pro setup. Same with boxing, but it could use some fine tuning. Baseball and Tennis are the farthest from a full fledged version of the games, but the potential is definitely there. I think we could all see using the nunchuck for additional movement control.
This is what's great about Wii Sports though. I'm excited thinking about the mere possibility of expanding on it.
Wii Warm Up: Wii = Wii Sports {Joystiq Nintendo}
Jun 30th 2007 11:21AM My buddy who I hadn't seen in months came over yesterday and while impressed I had a Wii, he said he didn't feel like excercising while playing video games, referring to Wii Sports. So I showed him Second Opinion.
That aside, if Wii can get in on the sports gamer market, the chance for success long term increases. How many copies of Madden get sold on the Xbox and Playstation consoles every year and provide a reliable base of customers for those consoles? Every golfer I know went out and got Tiger Woods for the Wii. Most were disappointed, but it just shows, the idea of using the wiimote for sports gaming is a huge draw.
I agree though, more non-Wii Sports advertising would be good.

Nintendo waves away hard drive rumors {Joystiq Nintendo}
Jun 27th 2007 4:04PM Get a 2GB SD Card and you'll be doing ok. You can search the net for the right deal or check out Radio Shack. I grabbed a 1 GB card for $15 not too long ago. I believe the 2GB card was less than $35.
Wii Warm Up: More freeform game design {Joystiq Nintendo}
Jun 25th 2007 3:06PM I just think full versions of the Wii Sports games would be great. Add online play and a career mode, what else would you need? Tennis and baseball would need some work, but Golf, Bowling and Boxing are just waiting to have a career mode added to them.
Wii Sports golf is by far the best Golf sim on the Wii, flesh it out and it will easy beat Tiger.

Manhunt 2 banned by UK ratings board {Joystiq Nintendo}
Jun 19th 2007 2:51PM Hold on a second, are you likening the killing of pixelated figures to the exploitation and molestation of children? Manhunt 2 isn't a snuf film, they didn't video capture actual murders or assaults. It's a video game. Are you seriously comparing it to child pornography? I'll make an argument that Manhunt 2 can be programmed, manufactured, sold and played without a crime being committed and without turning someone into a victim.
Now, you make the same argument with child pornogrpahy.
The Boy Genius Report: T-Mobile's new Sidekicks? {Engadget Mobile}
Jun 18th 2007 3:27PM When the SK3 first came out, I wasn't immediately impressed either, but having used it for a few months now, I am a big fan of the SK3 over the SK2. The SK keypad is the ost comfortable to use of any phone I've played with. And while there are some things it could do better, what it does, it does pretty well. Add in the price of service and I don't mind it topping out at EDGE.
And I'd like to add better bluetooth compatability to the better screen and WiFi. Would asking that the browser be able to handle Flash be too much?
