<title><![CDATA[Media: THQ Announces Development of All Star Karate for Wii]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Those who rolled their eyes and groaned at THQ's release of All Star Cheer Squad may actually find something more to their liking in their second offering under the "All Star" banner:



I have to admit, it looks... interesting.  It might even be worth taking a look at this Spring.  Check out more details from the press release after the cut.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Do U Wii - December 09 & January 2010 Video Game Release Montage]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[It has been a little while since we last heard from TheWon's "Do U Wii," which was last seen in a two-part Christmas Shopping Showcase last month just before the holidays.  But now he's back, to wrap up not only the rest of December 2009, but give us the lowdown on January 2010's Wii offerings as well.

Part of the reason for the delay is that TheWon was upgrading his computer and editing tools; as a result, you can now view the following edition of Do U Wii in 360p, 480p, or 720p.  And now, without further ado:



I believe it was our own Daniel Sims who recommended The Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces to me not that long ago, but I've not had the chance (nor the money) to check that (or anything else) out yet.  Seems like it definitely fills a niche in the Wii lineup that people have been asking for, though I think they expected Pilotwings or Star Fox to get there first.

And of course, No More Heroes 2 and Tatsunoko vs. Capcom just had to round things off.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[A Hamster's Influence on Super Mario Galaxy]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Nintendo is working on new hardware.  And EAD General Manager Shigeru Miyamoto is working on a new game (or possibly games) which utilize the Wii MotionPlus, and are not Zelda.

Neither of these statements, which came from Miyamoto's own mouth at the 13th Annual Japan Media Arts Festival on Saturday, really come as any surprise.  Nor does the fact that he was there to be awarded a "Special Achievement Prize" from the Agency of Cultural Affairs.

The biggest surprise, naturally, came through some of the developer's anecdotes, which include the influence a hamster had on his creation, the Nintendo icon we call "Mario."]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Metroid: Other M will have a "Clear Emotional Side"]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[

Nintendo had quite the press conference at E3 last year thanks to two major game announcements, Mario Galaxy 2 and Metroid: Other M.  While there is a certain degree of what to expect from Mario's next title, Samus Aran's next adventure still remains shrouded in mystery.  Aside from being developed by Team Ninja, all we have to go on is a short, all be it impressive trailer.

That is finally about to change.  The latest issue of Famitsu has some additional information to offer curious Nintendo fans.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Nintendo Download - 2/8/10: Deadly Viruses and Heroic Vegetables Make for a Memorable Week]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[I don't think anyone saw this one coming.  On today's Nintendo Download, Sunsoft has released Blaster Master: Overdrive, which Sunsoft's Victor Ireland describes as being "halfway between" a remake and a sequel to the original; "more like a re-imagining."  Check out the official trailer:



"It's based on the original US storyline," he explains, "but some things are changed. For example, the hero (Alexander/Alex) in this one is an adult trying to save his family...AND MANKIND. :) Mix of old and new mutants, mix of similar and new bosses, somewhat different ending."

This looks like just what the doctor ordered, and it's going for 1,000 Wii Points.  That's not all that's available now, though; check out the Nintendo Download press release after the cut, and beneath that, the full Blaster Master: Overdrive presser.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Max & The Magic Marker Penned in for March on WiiWare]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[

If you had to make a checklist of what defines a good indie game these days, then Max & the Magic Marker would check each one off without fail. 

The title has an innovative play mechanic as the focus of the gameplay, a unique art style, dynamic physics, and emphasis placed on the soundtrack. I'm pretty sure that you will be kicked out of the indie club if you don't at least meet these requirements. ]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Wii Fit Plus - Week 3... or Not]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Sorry, folks but there's nothing for Wii Fit Plus this week.  Something personal has come up, and let's just say that I have not been eating regularly, nor been in any mood to play much of anything.

As such, well, there really isn't much to report.  And I don't think it would be fair to do so without having really been using it this week.  Hopefully next week will be better, and things will continue as usual.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Rumor: Sonic in Super Mario Galaxy 2?]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Well, this is simply... bizarre.  The following tweets came from the account of NGamer magazine, which GoNintendo verified with CVG as their authentic account:We've just had some shocking news from an inside source at Nintendo: Sonic will be a playable character in Mario Galaxy 2! Wha?

From a trusted source

More teasing from our insider: Sonic levels will be in 'Green Hill Galaxy'. Matthew's nearly in tears (of despair)Does anyone believe this?  That would be... beyond weird.  Especially if Mario doesn't show up in Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing.  What would be next, Mario in Sonic 4?]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Sonic 4's Story and Announcement's Effect on SEGA Stock]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Here's your latest Project Nee-- er, I mean, Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1 news for the day.

To start, it seems that the proper announcement of the game has already yielded good fortune for SEGA.  According to TSSZ News, "the Dow Jones Industrial Average closing today down more than 268 points and flirting with sub 10,000 territory for the first time in a few months, the stock for Sega Sammy Holdings was up on the Sonic 4 announcement."]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Pre-Order Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing at EB Games in Australia, Get Sonic Racer Toy]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[

Australian gamers who plan on pre-ordering Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing from EB Games are in for a treat... that is, if they're planning to get it for the Wii or Nintendo DS (they don't seem to have the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 versions in their system).  While supplies last, pre-ordering will net you one of the racing toys we reported on previously (likely of the smaller variety).

Making this more interesting is the presently unknown status of the Ryo Hazuki forklift DLC in Australia; might the toy be a replacement for the versions which don't receive DLC?  Or might they add the 360/PS3 versions later and offer the toy instead?  We'll just have to wait and see.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Media: The Grinder No Longer Exclusive to Wii]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Though High Voltage Software doesn't seem too disappointed with the 350,000+ sales The Conduit has grabbed on the Wii, it seems they've decided that it would be in their best interests to spread the love a little bit:Our secret is out! Grinder is no longer a Wii exclusive. We plan to ship on Xbox 360, Sony PS3, and PC as well. -- HVS President Kerry GanofskyIn addition to that revelation, they have provided a new teaser trailer for the title:

More The Grinder News & Previews

They add that they will show off more of the game, as well as what differences are to be expected between versions, at the Game Developers Conference.  You can find the rest of the interview over at IGN.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Random Video of the Day:  Metroid Machinima Comedy: Mother Brain's Porn Addiction]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[X-Play labels this as "Metroid Machinima," but isn't machinima supposed to be 3D?  Or at the very least, rendered with in-game graphics?  This does neither.

Wii Games - E3 2010 - Metroid: Other M

While we're at it: am I the only one who is a little creeped out by the idea of Mother Brain actually being a male?  I'm not sure which is more disturbing, that, or his apparent taste in porn...]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Random Video of the Day: Sonic and Mario's Awkward Reunion]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[So a few years ago, Sonic the Hedgehog made headlines as he went on to guest-star in Nintendo's Super Smash Bros. Brawl.  And now, he's got a new racing game and a new sidescrolling sequel on the way, causing plenty of buzz.  Things are looking good for ol' blue, right?

Well, things weren't always this way in the interim; let's turn back the clock a few months...

See more funny videos and funny pictures at CollegeHumor.

Wow, you can really kind of feel the pity coming from Mario throughout the whole thing.  And be sure to watch past the end title card for one last scene.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Media: Project Needlemouse is Sonic 4, Downloadable, Episodic, and on Wii]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[After months of waiting, SEGA has finally given us the answers which we have sought ever since they uttered the words "Project Needlemouse."  Last night, GameSpot debuted the following trailer from SEGA:



It appears that the rumors were indeed true: Project Needlemouse is indeed Sonic the Hedgehog 4, and it is episodic content in the fashion seen with Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Sonic & Knuckles (and, one might suppose, Sonic 2).  And fortunately, the rumblings that it would only be available on the PlayStation Network and Xbox LIVE Arcade were not true; Sonic 4 is coming to WiiWare as well.]]></description>
