Have you checked out our interview with Nintendo Wii development scene heartthrob Johnny Chung Lee? Dude, why not? Uh, it's not a good enough reason. The man -- how he speaks, how he thinks, it just makes us swoon. So pick apart the guy's brain a bit in our extensive interview.

After that, hit up the links below for other goodies from the house that Wii built.

Attention all would-be bloggers: update

Posted Apr 25th 2008 10:10AM by Alisha Karabinus
Filed under: Meta

Last month, we asked for applications from people who were interested in joining the DS and Wii Fanboy blog teams, and we were rewarded with great, teetering piles of posts. On that front, we've got good news, and maybe some bad news. At last, we are nearing some decisions. Unfortunately, this means that if you haven't heard from us, you're probably not going to. Sadly, we do not have time to respond to every application individually, but we can say that, on the whole, the applications we received this time around were fantastic and competition was extremely fierce. Go ahead and pat yourselves on the back if you applied, because you deserve it. And watch this space for new fanboys -- they should be appearing soon!

What a week to be a Wii Fanboy. In case you might have neglected to check out the site over the last week (and why is that, hmm?), we're celebrating the week up to the release of Mario Kart Wii with a new feature each and every day. On Sunday, we spoke about the franchise's history. On Monday, we talked about the alternate kart universe and what the racers could be ripping through turns in. Yesterday, we talked about substitute Wii Wheels. Today, it's all about who else we would like to see make an appearance in a Mario Kart game.

Oh, and don't forget we're giving away 5 copies of Mario Kart Wii!!!

This week, we said goodbye to a longtime friend: the Smash Bros. Dojo. It has been a constant source of kicks for us over the past really long time (seriously, it's been around for awhile). We'll miss you Sakurai, and all of your fun and wonderful postings.

Let our Muxtapes accompany your Wii time

Posted Apr 14th 2008 2:35PM by JC Fletcher
Filed under: Fan stuff, Meta

Muxtape is a site that allows users to compile and share online mixtape-esque music collections. It's a fun way to share the music you love or LOL at with the people you care enough about to send a link. Since we enjoy pushing the things we like on other people sharing our interests, we decided to put together a couple and let the Wii Fanboy community have a listen. We've created two separate Muxtapes for your enjoyment:
  • DJFanboy is game-related or game-inspired music, and
  • DJFanboy2 is just stuff we like to listen to!
Both of these would be great soundtracks for game time, or a nice way to stream some music into the living room through the Wii browser! If you think listening to these is fun, you should try making one! And even more fun than that, we bet, is leaving us a comment to tell us about the Muxtape you've just made.

Hey, don't you know we're giving away a trio of Nyko peripherals? You should really get on that, because the giveaway ends in a few days. They're some sweet peripherals, if we may say so.

We know, Gob Bluth. It's sad to see things come to an end sometimes. But, with each sunset comes a new sunrise. Does that cheer you up, little guy? Good.

There were a lot of interesting things happening today. Oh, what with it being April Fools' Day and all, there's bound to be some interesting and entertaining stuff to read and look at, right? Good news: there are!

What we've gone ahead and done is gotten together some of today's best content revolving around the "holiday," and tucked it past the break. So head on past and get started. Did we miss something? Let us know in the comments!

Profile problems?

Posted Mar 26th 2008 10:55AM by Alisha Karabinus
Filed under: Meta

We've gotten a lot of e-mails lately from people who are having trouble getting into their user profiles -- apparently, passwords aren't working. Never fear! We're aware of the problem and we've asked that it be looked into. We hope to be able to report a fix soon. For now, the only known solution, if you must change your profile details, is to use a new login name. Which is to say there's no solution for the moment, but bide a while and we'll get you fixed up.

While we have your attention, we've also got a little announcement about our recent casting call. Did you apply? If so, please be patient; the process of winnowing through applications takes a while. We've received a lot of e-mails asking when we might make our decision, but please keep in mind that it hasn't even been two weeks since we stopped taking submissions, and we have a vast and incredible pile of applicants to sift through. We'll get through 'em, don't worry. It just won't be today. We're picky.

We've got all the bounty (of Wii news and features) you could ever need. So, please, sip from our cup below and tell us how smooth the past week's best content goes down.

If you're thinking about trying to finagle a spot on the Nintendo Fanboy blogging squad, you better get going on your application -- today is the deadline! Turn your attention to our recent posts if you're not sure how to proceed, and get those samples together. After midnight Pacific time, we'll stop considering new applications.

You all know what we've been up to for the last week. Pretty much Smash Bros. Brawl stuff. We're so glad to finally get our hands on the game. If you've lost yourself in the swirling torrent of Smash related items, get a foothold on some of our content below so you can catch what you might have missed.

Want to write for us? The deadline approaches!

Posted Mar 10th 2008 12:45PM by Alisha Karabinus
Filed under: Meta

If you saw our recent post requesting applications for new bloggers and you're planning to throw your name in the hat, get to it! We will cease taking applications Friday, March 14th at 11:59 P.M. Eastern time. Rather than rehashing everything we said before, we thought we'd take this time to offer up answers to the three most frequently asked questions:

1. Can I write for only DS Fanboy or Wii Fanboy instead of writing for both?

Sorry, half-fanboys -- we need someone who can write for both sites!

2. Do you assign stories and material to your bloggers?

For the most part, no. In order to succeed, you'll need to be pretty attuned to the news of the gaming world. There's no time to wait for someone to discover the news for you. However, this also means you get a chance to write about the things that interest you.

3. Do I need to own a DS or a Wii in order to write for DS and Wii Fanboy?

It's probably a good idea! After all, how can you be a fanboy if you don't own the hardware?

For any other questions you may have, be sure to hit up the original post. It includes instructions on how to apply (and not following them is a bad idea), as well as answers to other questions you may have.
