E310: Simply the Best, or What Thrilled Us at E3

With another E3 in the books, Peter and I took some time to compile a list of what surprised us the most at this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo. This year’s show boasted over 100 exhibitors and many more hundreds of titles to see and play, all split between the South and West halls of the Los Angeles Convention Center. After …

E310: Nintendo Press Conference Recap

Nintendo’s press conference at E3 2010 spooled out in a rapid-fire fashion, starting by announcing the return of one of the company’s major characters.

E3 2010: What We’re Looking Forward To

One of our Techland colleagues who shall not be named asked, “Is it bad that I don’t know what E3 is?”

Sigh.

Well, not really. But, it does make Peter and I a bit sad. So, if there’s anyone else out there who needs a quick primer, then you should know that E3 stands for the Electronic Entertainment Expo. For about 15 years, …

Mario Kart RC Cars Let You Virtually Shoot Other Players

Hot damn. This remote control Mario Kart set not only lets you race your favorite characters around on your kitchen floor, but the controllers feature built-in virtual projectiles and power-ups in the form of shells, banana peels, mushrooms, stars, and more.

Wii2HDMI Adapter Simplifies Wii HDMI Output

Sure, the Wii doesn’t need HDMI output but there’s something about the simplicity of a single-cable connection from your console to your TV that’s very appealing. Hooking stuff up with five component cables or even three composite cables seems so archaic nowadays.

It’s-A Him (Again!): Hands-On with Super Mario Galaxy 2

I kinda have a love/hate thing going on with my Wii. You see the worst kind of shovelware and craptastic mini-game collections proliferating on Nintendo’s uber-successful console. Worse yet, the company’s success with the Wii can be seen as reinforcing a cautious conservatism with their approach to hardware and first-party …
