When it comes down to it, I never quite “got over” my original NES console. No matter what system I might play for a few months or even years, and trust me, I’ve played quite a few different consoles in my day, I always come back to the original. Maybe it has something to do with the memories of comfort ...

Back in the day there was nothing cooler than NBA Jam. My friends and I would sit down and tap away at our controllers for hours. I even dug it on Game Gear. Well, guess what. NBA Jam is being reloaded for the Wii via WiiWare and the first screenshot of awesome has been released. Featuring the same 2D faces ...

We know usually you set your brain’s power button to off when playing your Wii, and that’s fine that Wii playing is meant to be your downtime, but if you even plan on using the WiiThink concept peripheral, there’s just no way in hell you’ll be able to maintain that mindless mentality. Using EEG technology to read your brainwaves, the ...

Nintendo really sort of lost it with that GameCube controller. Eight buttons? Not even counting the sticks or the control pad. Was that really necessary? With the Wii, Nintendo took us back to their simpler hey-day. It’s too bad the console is such shit. But in the Wii’s defense, the new Wii Super Mario Bros. game is a saving grace. ...

This might just be Mario and Luigi’s attempt to get their name in the papers only days before the release of the new Super Mario Bros. Wii game, but apparently the two plumbers were spotted assaulting a NYC cab driver. Don’t get too discouraged quite yet, your two favorite plumbers still might have a chance. Number one, the attack was ...

All she has to do is remind her guests that, technically, she can still order a beheading. Match point! So, now that we actually know what happens behind those palace gates, I’d love to know the Queen mother’s handle. ...

The Wiimote is much more of a versatile tool than I think even Microsoft could have imagined. People have hacked the Wiimote to create some zany and awesomely practical mods. But I think “lawnmower control” is a new one. The Casmobot Lawnmower is navigated using nothing but a hacked Wiimote and the crafty engineering by several scientists at the University ...

Only furries could create something so ridiculously mundane that it completely circles around lameness and cycles back to being totally awesome again. This RFID-enabled Arduino-driven tail apparently reacts to different mood chips, wagging if your happy or excited, so on and so forth. The tail is also controllable with the Wii Nunchuk remote. If your dressing up as a possum ...

Organization is always an issue with gaming consoles. Wires get tangled, controllers get left strewn across the floor, games are left out of their cases. It can develop into a nightmare. The Xbox and Wii gaming towers (it appears someone has something against Sony) helps keep your console, controllers and games in order. Each tower has designated spots for each ...

This thing just has bloodshed written all over it. $14.99 gets you yet another unintentional weapon to add to your rapidly growing armory. Link [via]
