Pineconeattack!

One of my major complaints about the Wii is that fact that the damn controllers zap the hell out of my batteries. I’ve tried the rechargeable batteries route but they always seem to drain when the controllers are not in use. I’ve avoided the conventional rechargers because they are mostly cheap looking and [...]

What can I tell you, it’s an excuse to turn on my Wii. I liked the game ok when I played it Jango’s house when he imported the Japanese version, but now that the game is translated, I love the game! Going through the instruction manual in English and knowing how to do [...]

If you’ve been regularly visiting this site, as you well should, you have no doubt noticed the game Tatsunoko vs. Capcom pop up in articles and on the Pinekast. As excited as I am, I have to admit a bit of self ignorance. I do know a few of the characters from the Tatsunoko brand, [...]

So after receiving New Super Mario Bros Wii, I gathered up the Pinekast crew get try out a little four-players multiplayer co-op action, but I soon discovered a few hiccups in Nintendo’s most recent neo-retro family platformer.

I’ll be honest with you, I hate the Wii. Unlike the N64 that had no 3rd party support, the Wii is simply a compost heap that 3rd parties shovel their crap onto, BUT very much like the N64, the best games are always Nintendo first party stuff. The New Super Mario Bros. Wii [...]

So over at Play-Asia there a really good deal for those of you who have a Japanese Wii or is smart enough to hack the bloody thing. Either way, once your Wii is capable of playing JPN games then you can score a fucking cheap copy of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom.  The damn thing is being [...]

Damn, remember this game?
Looks like it’s about to be released soon in Japan and the über import nerd wants to just buy it right away but I’m going to restrain myself and wait for the eventual North American release. So far so good, the game looks infinitely better than the blocky smudgy Nintendo 64 [...]

This past weekend, Ancient Flounder and I went searching for deals at Fry’s for some cheap PS3 games but, alas, we failed due to Jedah’s bad intel.  But, it was not a total waste!
We stumbled into the Wii section at Fry’s and found a mass graveyard of clearance games for the system, including the Klonoa [...]
