Nintendo Wii Fanboy

Those of you who visit this site often probably know that we're big fans of No More Heroes. If you haven't made the plunge to purchase the game yet, though, this might be a good week to do so.

From what we've heard, the game is selling pretty well, so it may be a while before it comes down in price. Luckily, GameQuest Direct is selling the title for $8 less than the $50 retail cost, meaning that it will only set you back $41.99. Sweetening the deal is a free shipping promotion through CAG. Once you add the game to your cart, just make sure to type the promotion code CAG1SHIP in the box at the bottom left corner.

If you're craving a mature Wii game but No More Heroes is still too expensive for your taste, you can also get Scarface for $24.99. The free shipping promotion applies to this title, too, so make sure to use it if you decide to buy the game.

Caveat: These sales end on March 18th, so if you're considering these purchases, make sure not to wait too long.

Every Tuesday, Mike Sylvester brings you REVOLUTIONARY, a look at the wide world of Wii possibilities.

Thought of by many as the "Disney of video gaming," Nintendo has crafted themselves an image of family-friendly entertainment. But to certain generations and classes of gamers, the term "family-friendly" is synonymous with "kiddy," and immediately sparks disinterest. But ever since publishing Rare's Killer Instinct, they've been working on broadening the public's perspective. Trying to appeal to the bloodlust of the Mortal Kombat crowd didn't give them any headway, and as generations progressed and they've garnered more "mature-themed" titles, they still haven't been able to shake the "kiddy console" stigma.

Even after snagging the exclusivity to the Resident Evil series for a generation, Nintendo was largely overlooked by the Playstation-bred gamers that were brought up on the series. How much more will it take for Wii to be regarded as a platform that can satisfy the tastes of mature gamers?

Don't try and tell us the movie isn't great, we might have to pop you one in the gut just like Mel. And, like Mel, we're sure you won't be able to get yourself one of those one-way tickets to the Resurrection. But, enough about the movie, what about this game business?

The trailer, which is available past the post break, is chock full of violence, cursing and gameplay footage. And, someone gets eaten by a Tiger.

Start planning your best variation of "Say hello to my Wii little friend" now, because you're probably going to hear it. A lot, in fact, because Scarface: The World is Yours is joining The Godfather in the new pantheon of violent Wii games.

Unsurprisingly, the Wiimote will function as a pointing device for aiming in shooting sequences, same as with Red Steel, but the best part of the game announcement is the fact that players will also get to wield the Wii remote as a chainsaw (if you have buddies named Angel, they may find this unsettling). Beyond that, however, details are next to none, but we'll keep you updated.
