Like lots of gamers over the years, Jimmy Fallon couldn’t get to E3. He’s got a job he can’t get away from so he just had to kind of watch from afar. But, of course the SNL alum isn’t just any gamer. He’s got his own late-night TV show and, when he couldn’t make it for the annual gamefest in LA, he just brought some of E3’s …

E3 2010: Techland Interviews Nintendo President Satoru Iwata
When Peter and I got to the Nintendo meeting rooms behind the Japanese gaming giant’s huge E3 booth, Satoru Iwata was pecking away at one of Apple’s Macbook Pro laptops.

E310: PlayStation Move Pwns Microsoft Kinect
Let’s get this out of the way – Sony will dominate the next generation motion control wars.
Calm down, fanboy. I’ve been a long-time supporter of Microsoft’s Xbox platform, so it pains me to say that. But I’ve seen a few things the public haven’t been privy to and spent extensive time with both platforms. While Sony …
E310: Warren Spector Talks About Why Epic Mickey Will Live Up to Its Name
The cool thing about Disney Epic Mickey is that it puts you in a living breathing cartoon world and gives you the power to change the way it looks and behaves.

Small children have no regard—NO REGARD!—for the fact that you shelled out $60 for a Wii remote and Nunchuk. And their hands are always covered in peanut butter, jelly, and who knows what else. The simple truth is that kids should have their own Wii controllers.

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 …
Does It Come in Black?: Nintendo to Offer New Color, New Bundle for Wii
Love it or hate it, it’s impossible to deny the Wii’s success. Nintendo’s had a hard time meeting demand for the system pretty much since launch and it’s introduced new demographic categories to video games like nothing before.

A 24-year-old woman apparently fell off her Wii Fit Balance Board and the injuries she sustained resulted in “persistent sexual arousal syndrome,” according to UK tabloid Daily Star. Sensational! Far be it for a tabloid to print sensational news (*cough*). This story must be 100% accurate.
