Shower Nerdy

Posted on 05 November 2009

Whoever said geeks were a dirty, smelly bunch are about to eat their words. Or maybe eat soap. You know how bitter those geeks can be after years of teasing.

Get the XBOX 360 Controller for $11

User DigitalSoaps from the craft site, Etsy.com, has made our collective dreams come true by combining two awesome things - showers and video games. Soap…shaped like video game controllers. Who would have thought of such a thing? A lady named Chrystal Doucette, that’s who. She’s the creator of these nerdy cleansing apparatuses and is actually a mild-mannered reporter by day. You mean, like SUPERMAN?!? It’s a match made in nerdy heaven!

Nintendo Releases it’s Holiday Lineup

Posted on 15 September 2009

As summer draws to a close, the air begins to chill and people begin to turn their thoughts to holiday gift lists. Whether the people on your list have been playing since the 1980s or only since last week, Nintendo has you covered. The Wii^™, Nintendo DS^™ and Nintendo DSi^™ systems have a huge selection of games for everyone on your list, including many that you won’t find anywhere else.

“This extensive lineup will keep players busy throughout the fall and into 2010,” said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “Shoppers know that Nintendo offers fun for everyone in the household.”

Upcoming Nintendo-published games for the Wii console include Wii Fit^™ Plus (Oct. 4) and New Super Mario Bros.^™ Wii (holiday 2009). These games will join the current hot seller, Wii Sports Resort^™, which comes with the new precision-control Wii MotionPlus^™ accessory. Fans of portable games will enjoy Pokémon^™ Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky (Oct. 12), Style Savvy^™ (Nov. 2) and The Legend of Zelda^™: Spirit Tracks (Dec. 7) in addition to the just-released Mario & Luigi^™: Bowser’s Inside Story, all playable on both Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi systems.

The changing autumn leaves will be in good company with some new colors for the Nintendo DSi system and the Wii Remote^™ and Nunchuk^™ controllers. New White and Pink Nintendo DSi systems made their debut on Sept. 13, while a Black Wii Remote controller and Wii MotionPlus accessory package will be available this holiday season. A Black version of the Nunchuk controller will be sold separately as well.

Third-party publishers are supporting Nintendo platforms with impressive quality and wide-ranging titles. Wii exclusives like Dead Space^™ Extraction from Electronic Arts and FINAL FANTASY^® CRYSTAL CHRONICLES^®: THE CRYSTAL BEARERS^® from Square Enix will provide thrills that can’t be found elsewhere. At the same time, Nintendo DS owners are anxiously awaiting another powerhouse release: KINGDOM HEARTS 358/2 DAYS from Square Enix. And Activision’s Band Hero^™, available on both Wii and Nintendo DS, features compelling interactivity between the two hardware systems through wireless connectivity.

Below is a partial list of upcoming games for Wii, the WiiWare^™ service, Nintendo DS and the Nintendo DSiWare^™service. Note that game titles and launch dates are subject to change.

Nintendo Wii gets an update

Posted on 14 September 2009

The Wii™ console’s Nintendo Channel is getting a makeover. On Sept. 14, the channel, which provides users with videos and information about current and upcoming Nintendo products, re-launches with a new look and feel. Some of the upgrades include higher-quality streaming videos, lists of top games that other viewers recommend and a new ability to rate and recommend Nintendo DS™ games.

Current features of the Nintendo Channel will remain, including Nintendo DS demo downloads and an extensive lineup of videos about Wii and Nintendo DS games.

As part of the update, Nintendo Channel will also premiere Nintendo Week, a weekly, hosted series about what’s happening in the world of Nintendo. The premiere episode includes an in-depth look at Mario and Luigi™: Bowser’s Inside Story, an interview with the developers behind the Wii version of Guitar Hero 5, plus coverage of the new Nintendo DSi colors, Nintendo DSiWare games and other surprises.

What are your thoughts on a weekly show from Nintendo? What sort of things would you like to see covered?
