The aesthetics of Wii


It's strange how almost every single picture of the Wii fails spectacularly to depict the console's actual size. In reality, the system is ridiculously small with an aesthetic that deftly illustrates how far Nintendo has come in terms of design after they churned out the  monstrous looking N64. We're not shallow enough to attach much significance to a console's appearance, but there's something unnervingly attractive about that small white box and its various attachments.

Duck Hunt 2 video



Here we have video of Duck Hunt 2, the Wii version of the...oh, forget it. Of course you know what Duck Hunt is. You're excited about it, shaking your arms and giggling like a little girl for every second that you think about it. We won't judge (but we'll insist that you watch this video).

Hudson promises 100 games for Virtual Console

Hudson has announced that, barring unforeseen nuclear disasters or time-travel mishaps, they'll be releasing 100 different titles on Nintendo's virtual console service. The only name we have for now is Bonk's Adventure which, given the absence of the other 99 titles, doesn't leave us feeling particularly informed. Games like Lode Runner are most certainly destined for Wii emulation, but which other, more obscure Hudson games should we be getting excited about experiencing again?

Super Smash Bros. Brawl video



Featuring more farting, fireballs, pink balls, elite soldiers, mythological boys, portly plumbers and space bounty hunters than you can shake a motion-sensing stick at, this video footage of Super Smash Bros. Brawl demands to be watched immediately. It's strange that Nintendo didn't blow the audience away with this during their initial press conference, but trite old sayings tell us that getting it now is much better than not getting it at all. Thank goodness for those.

Revolution Fanboy vs. E3: We're here!


It's true. Following a journey that lasted over 24 hours and was filled with in-your-face polite air hostesses, barely edible food and abrasive security officials, I've made it to sunny smoggy Los Angeles in the hopes of attending E3 without being killed or maimed in some way. If that endeavor proves to be successful, the Revolution Fanboy team will be able to provide as much E3 coverage as inhumanly possible. For now, behold some early pictures snapped of the Convention Center, all of them free of drooling geeks (at least for now).

Rumor: Specific Wii remote controls in Twilight Princess

Citing "a few fan forums" as the basis for the proposed control-scheme of how Zelda: Twilight Princess will control on the Wii's remote, Digital Battle created the graphic to your right and declared that they had contacted Nintendo to validate this rumored control scheme only to receive the obligatory "we do not comment on rumors" response. The proposed control scheme doesn't make too much sense, however, as the small a and b buttons wouldn't be useful at all as you'd be unable to reach those buttons with your thumb and point the remote at the screen simultaneously. Considering your other hand will be holding the nunchuck attachment, that hand is not available either. Honestly though, it doesn't matter because we're only left to consider this a rumor until an honest announcement is made by Nintendo.

Activision: We got 3 games coming near launch

During one of those boring conferences where the company mills over profits and losses, an endless string of numbers, Activision actually dropped a little nugget of info about their involvement in the launch of Nintendo's Wii. Turns out the company will have three titles ready for the Wii launch, which is a time period that can range from the day the console releases to months later. Basically, it's whatever the "window" Nintendo states will be. Of these three titles, Tony Hawk Downhill Jam, which is described as "a frenzied downhill racing game and new direction for the Tony Hawk franchise," is more than likely one title, with the other two being left to speculation.

Rayman Raving Rabbids announced

Our earlier reports of a Rayman ressurrection left you all without a name for the game or any kind of information on the premise of the title. Well, the game has now been dubbed Rayman Raving Rabbids and some tidbits of information have been placed on the table. The premise of the title revolves around a group of uncontrollable bunnies whom threaten the very existence of Rayman's world. It's obviously up to him to stop them, through new abilities and the help of friends.

When asked to comment on the project, Sir Ancel said "After wrapping up Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie, the team here in Montpellier sat down to talk about having some fun with Rayman and his universe. We are running into a bit of a problem, though, because our game has been invaded by thousands of raving mad and vicious bunnies, who have apparently been preparing this assault since the very first Rayman game. We are now sending an SOS to all motivated gamers to help us get rid of them as fast as possible!"

I don't know about you fine readers, but this game is in my top 5 anticipated titles for E3. I cannot wait to get my hands on this and see in what ways Michel is going to push the envelope and improve upon what is already one of the greatest franchises in gaming history.
