Nintendo Wii in Stock

People love the Nintendo Wii, but what they don't know is that the Wii is being used by all sorts of ways. One way is to give the elderly at retirement homes a way to exercise. Some are even holding large tournaments for Wii bowling. Another use has been for soldiers to deal with combat wounds.

A Canadian researcher is finding that video games have been a great aid to people with chronic pain. Nintendo Wii does a good job of immersing you in the game so you forget about many things that bother you. It's already being used as a physical therapy machine so treating chronic pain fits right in.

It turns out that the BBFC is taking steps to letting Manhunt 2 be released in the UK. As you recall earlier, Manhunt 2 was facing extremely negative publicity in the media due to the extreme violence. Rockstar, the makers of the game, decided to edit the game to comply. The ESRB, America's version of BBFC, finally decided to give it a Mature rating which lets only 18+ people buy it.

The BBFC now only has 3 votes against letting it get a rating instead of 4 votes. This is one step close, but there are still strong appeals being made in the High Court. A spokesperson from the BBFC said they won't make a decision until they see a full printed judgment on the video game. There sure a lot of drama over this Manhunt 2 game which isn't even supposed to be that great.

If you don't know that is, it's a special feature for the Nintendo Wii that lets you download older console games for many systems including SNES, NES, Genesis, and many others. The games a relatively cheap as they go for well under 10 dollars, and the convenience is the best part. It seems as Virtual console is doing pretty well by selling $33 million worth of virtual games.

The big plus is that once you make the game working for the Nintendo Wii, thats the only cost you have. They can let a million people download the same game and it would be all profit from there. This is a good sign for Nintendo which means people aren't just buying the Nintendo Wii and doing nothing with them.

So find your Nintendo Wii in stock so you can download Super Mario Bros 3!

Super Mario Galaxy seems to almost be as hard to find as finding the Nintendo Wii in stock. Super Mario Galaxy is the next epic game from the Mario series. The last major Super Mario game happend 11 years ago for the Nintendo 64. It was called Super Mario 64.

Nintendo has outdone themselves again with Super Mario Galaxy. It is much bigger and much more fun than the Super Mario 64 version. The unique controls from the Wii remote and the crazy aspect of being in space makes it an incredibly fun game.

However, people have been having trouble finding it at places like Toys R Us. Toys R Us had offered the game with a $25 free gift card. However, people found out that you couldn't even get that because they were already sold out due to selling out to preorders.

Keep this in mind because this game is epic and a must have for the holidays!

Spike TV's 2007 Video Game Awards is nearing and we'll start seeing all sorts of crazy categories like Most Addictive Game Fueled by Dew. God bless America. This is a men's award show so expect most nominees filled with first person shooters such as Halo 3.

NIntendo WIi did manage to squeeze in with games like Wii Sports as the nominee for Most Addictive Game. Super Mario Galaxy is in the Best Action Game cateogry.

The Best Wii Category has games like The Legend of Zelda:Twilight Princess, Metroid Prime 3:Corruption, Super Mario Galaxy, and Super Paper Mario.

Toys R Us is having an amazing promotion for Super Mario Galaxy. If you buy the game when it comes out., you'll receive a $25 gift card which you can use again at Toys R Us. You can just go back into the store and buy a 2000 Nintendo Wii Points Card, another controler, or whatever you'd like.

This is a super deal and I'm sure Toys R Us will be crowded on the opening day. I expect them to be sold out VERY quickly. Super Mario Galaxy has a good chance of becoming the hottest game of the holidays. Americans love Super Mario!

Gamers in Japan get an early jump at Super Mario Galaxy, which could be the defining game for the Nintendo Wii. It's already getting perfect reviews. However, people didn't go crazy for Super Mario Galaxy over in Japan because there were no long lines for it.

Despite this, Nintendo still sold a respectable 130,000 in the first day. It's not bad considering how little Nintendo has been marketing it over there, but it really should be higher. Super Mario Galaxy is the first major release of Mario since Mario 64. There have been a lot of minor Mario games in between, but this is the real deal.

The positive is that Mario games still sell well long after they are released. Hopefully, reviews will increase the purchase rate.

Nintendo Wii has come out with interesting virtual console games this week. If you don't know, Nintendo Wii lets you download older games for systems like NES, SNES, Sega Genesis, and others. They only charge a nominal fee in terms of Wii points, which can be bought for $20 for every 200 points.

The games are Alien Solider, which came out for the Mega Drive. It only costs 800 Wii points. My personal favorite of the bunch is Art of Fighting for the Neo Geo. It costs 900 Wii points, but it is such a classic video game. The other two games are Samurai Ghost for Turbografx and Sonic 3D for mega drive.

The hottest games in American are not always the same games as the ones in other countries. For example, America has a fascination with rockers so there is no surprise that Guitar Hero II tops the charts right below Wii Play. Then again I don't think Wii Play counts because it includes a Wii remote.

In Japan, the top games are Super Mario Galaxy which is no surprise since it just came out there and Wii Sports. Fortunately, Wii sports comes for free on American consoles.

In the UK, they seem to love Big Brain Academy for Wii. Are they trying to get smarter or something? My parents are doing all the shopping over there.
