New Nintendo Channel Videos are still getting fit

A new video of "Get Wii Fit with Alyson" was added to the Nintendo Channel, this time featuring the dancer and friends trying out the yoga exercises. If you think watching someone else do yoga might be exciting, you'd be wrong. The most entertaining part is when Alyson says about the virtual male trainer, "I think I'll call it Brad. You're rad, Brad." Ironically, that's also that part that made us start sobbing, wondering when it would end.

You can also watch "info" videos that promote Alone in the Dark, Order Up!, Magnetica Twist, and a number of other games. The highlight for us was watching Wall-E being adorable in the Wall-E TV Spot, but that's not to say it made us want to buy the Wii title. It did make us want to go and see Wall-E, though.

Here's the full list of the new videos on the Nintendo Channel, for you to check out at your leisure:
  • Get Wii Fit with Alyson: Yoga
  • Magnetica Twist Info Video
  • Guitar Hero: Aerosmith Hall of Fame Induction
  • Cabela's Trophy Bucks Info Video
  • Alone in the Dark Info Video
  • Wall-E TV Spot
  • Order Up! Info Video
  • Paws & Claws Pet Vet Healing Hands TV Spot (DS)
  • My Weight Loss Coach Info Video (DS)
  • Guitar Hero On Tour Launch Video (DS)

Wii releases this week: Alone in the Dark edition


This week, Atari's big title hits retail shelves. Will it be the scary and wonderful title they've been promoting it to be? Only time will tell. It's certainly not alone, this week, as the Wii gets several new releases. Let's check them out!

We're falling for Wall-E, the GameCube mod

Have you ever seen a GameCube as cute as this? Before you say "yes" and provide a million and ten links of cuter mods, just look into Wall-E's eyes. You'll make him cry! And we all know what happens when water gets on a GameCube -- it goes to console heaven. So, for Wall-E's sake, just let it be.

Based on the character in the upcoming Disney Pixar film, this adorable mod was made with children's toys, Plexiglas, tubes, rods, plastic, metal, and acrylic paint. Oh, and let's not forget the GameCube. We're not sure if it can actually move (we suspect not), but even so, we're extremely impressed.

Consider our hearts melted.

THQ handling game duties for upcoming Pixar film


With THQ handling duties on previous Pixar films' game adaptation Ratatouille, it comes as little surprise that they're taking care of business regarding the upcoming game based on the soon-to-release film WALL•E (short for Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class). The story follows a small robot (WALL•E, natch) on a journey of self-discovery.

The movie is currently scheduled for a release this summer.
