No joke.

In a move that has thrilled Nintendo Life, THQ CEO Brian Farrel has announced that a cheerleading game is in development for the Wii which takes full advantage of the Balance Board.

According to Kotaku Farrel..

Given the success of the Resident Evil games on Wii so far it's no wonder that Capcom are swaying their decision on the Wiimake of Resident Evil 0 being Japan only.

Capcom have announced today that their on-the-rails shooter, Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles (8/10) has shipped a million copies worldwide. Umbrella Chronicles is the second game in the series to top a million units with Resident..

Kotaku.com, probably one of the harshest gaming blogs in the world, have written a very balanced, fair and glowing report for Nintendo's new venture.

The report (which can be read here compliments the fun that can be had from some of the minigames, how well the yoga exercises work and also considers that while Wii Fit's software may not do a great deal to make you fitter, it helps you become more..

Eurogamer.net have been informed there will be no European release for Resident Evil 0 on the Wii.

Family Ski is Namco's attempt to bring all the fun of skiing - to the Wii.

Four player racing and Wii Balance Board support will be the highlight of the game although there is no official word when (or if) the game will make it to British shores. If it does we're expecting some kind of budget release. Now please hurry up and announce you're working on 1080 Snowboarding Nintendo.

Usually trailers try to lure us all into subconsciously deciding we can't do without a certain game. SEGA Bass Fishing's trailer has the opposite effect.

Reasons why this trailer is so, so bad: The two people sitting in a boat are poorly "stuck" onto a video game background. Why? The annoying country "cock" rock pisses me right off. Seeing as they are green screened onto the..

Which means you don't get a bunch of rowdy Americans asking if you're "Australian" or if you've "brushed your teeth today"?

You will not be able to chat in the actual games themselves (well you wouldn't be able to anyway unless you had 15 arms right?) but you will be able to create "lobbies" in which you can chat amongst your mates while you wait for other racers. Pretty cool? USB..

Rebecca Chambers and Billy Coen might be gearing up for a Wii release according to a report from Japanese "Bible" Famitsu.

It seems that 1up's recent podcast suggesting Brawl has been delayed until Autumn in Europe isn't exactly true.

While recounting some of the info that I learned from Nintendo of America's President & COO, Reggie Fils-Aime, I implied that the European release of Super Smash Bros. Brawl had been moved to the fall of 2008...that's not quite accurate, as neither NOE nor Reggie has announced any..

Cue: disgruntled, spoiled British gamers stating "Nintendo Wii is teh shite" because we get Mario Kart Wii and Wii Fit early to compensate.

In a recent interview with Reginald "Better Than Microsoft's Shane Kim" Fils-Aime on 1-UP.com's podcast he stated: Interviewer: "In terms of us [North America] getting Wii Fit and Mario Kart after Europe, we're like, what's that about?" GOD..

Given the GameCube's wonderful backcatalogue, here are five games we'd love to see come to the Wii.

The GameCube was the loser of the last generation by a long, long way. The Playstation 2 had already run away with the “console war crown” a good year or so before the GameCube’s launch and Nintendo’s box never really packed any kind of punch worthy enough of denting Sony’s dominance. With..

Deciding to get their arse into gear for once Nintendo of Europe actually made some announcements the people wanted to hear.
