Wii Version
One of the most amazing third-party Wii games at E3 was EA’s Skate It. The game carries a lot in common with last year’s Skate for the 360 and PS3. The storyline revolves around a disaster that happens in the city from the first Skate. The entire city is now in ruins and your [...]

“Koji Igarashi calls the game “3D versus” action game. Igarashi also hopes
that the players consider it as such, because you can move a full 360
degrees. Igarashi made Castlevania Judgement like this, because it would

Kotaku’s Leigh Alexander claims that game looks “cool” and “rad.” There is
a lot [...]

This trailer does not show the Wii version of the game, but it does tell some interesting story points. As pretty as the PS3/360 versions are, using the Wiimote will be much more satisfying. I just hope they are able to use the Wiimote to its full potential.
I know this isn’t exactly Nintendo news (although it does affect Nintendo), but it is interesting to note that even one of the industry’s biggest supporters of Hi-def graphics is calling for a change in controls/interaction:
“I hope if there’s a new Xbox that there’ll be fewer buttons on the controller,” ”I think you could do [...]
We posted the other day about Quake being run on the Wii using the Twilight Princess Hack. Now a precocious little hacker has managed to get Goldeneye to run on the Wii using some clever tom-foolery. Check out the video to see the game in action. From the video it looks like he’s only able to control [...]
