Good news for Mario Kart fans. The Wii version is coming to Europe on April the 11th. It comes complete with a Wii wheel accessory which I’m sure no-one will actually use if they want to win a race and has support for up to 12 players online at once. There goes my social life. .

Mario Kart on the Wii is coming out on April the 11th! It comes with a free steering wheel to plug your Wiimote into and supports up to 12 players online over Wi-Fi.

Super Smash Bros Brawl has sold over 1 million copies in Japan in record time.

Sega Superstars Tennis looked cool with loads of Sega characters playing what is in effect Virtua Tennis. U-La-La, Alex Kidd, Sonic, Dr Eggman, NiGHTS etc all play...
If it’s one thing I don’t like it’s having to wave the Wii remote round in a game when it would be just as simple if not easier to press a button. Thankfully, in this new game Zack and Wiki: Quest for Barbaros’ treasure, the Wiimote is so integral to puzzle solving it’s a great joy to play. This game harks back to the days of old graphic adventures such as Monkey island, Day of the Tentacle and the like, although the emphasis is much more on puzzle solving within a level as you play through the story, and less...
If someone says the term Ghost Squad to me I conjur up images of Yvette Fielding and her cronies running around a haunted mansion going ooooh, ahhhh and ‘can you make a noise’. Of course, that’s not what Sega’s new game for the Wii is about, it’s a home conversion of their arcade game about a group of soldiers who apparently go into a situation to stop terrorists and the like by leaving no trace. That is if you count leaving lots of bodies full of holes and smashed up furniture as leaving no trace. In essence what you get...
