News NES-Style DJ Hero is Bleeping Cool
It will rock you
DJ Hero may not be quite as iconic as its guitar-toting stablemate, but consider how different things might have been if the title had originated on the NES.

News Modern Warfare 2 Wii-bound?
Amazon listing may have spilled the beans
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare was big. Huge. It also never saw the light of day on Wii, unfortunately.
