GameStop CEO Expects Wii Shortage to Continue

Tuesday, September 9th, 2008

In an , GameStop’s new CEO, Dan DeMatteo, says he expects the shortage of Wiis to continue through Christmas:

I’ve never seen this type of demand before. I know they’re making more, but we’re still short like everybody else. I think we’ll have a continued shortage this Christmas.

Rapala Fishing Games for Wii

Monday, September 8th, 2008

I was going to say something absolutely horrendous like “Get Hooked!” but I decided against it.  Did I make a good choice?  Only time will tell…

ANYWAY…

I just read an article about the game Rapala Fishing Frenzy, from Activision, complete with a crazy fishing pole-wiimote-nunchuk thing that ships with the game:

Wow.  THAT is an accessory.  Anyone have primary research on how this thing functions, and how strong it is with regards to holding up under virtual fishing stress?  At least you don’t have to smell like fishing.  Most of my memories of fishing include being exhausted at 5am, being cold, and out of beer.

Also, there is Rapala Tournament Fishing - I’m looking for some trailers for this, I’ll update once I find what I’m looking for.  If you’ve played these, let me know what you think.  Post in the comments.

Accessories not to forget if you’re into the Wii Fishing:
Wii Fishing Rod, $13.99.  Amazon has it down a buck.

How Do You Feel About Wii Violence?

Friday, August 15th, 2008

Dan Rosenberg just posted an article about violence in Wii games, and how there isn’t enough of it to satisfy the “gamer bloodlust” that PS3 and XBox gamers get in their titles.

How do you feel about this?  With Nintendo’s advances in inter-personal gaming with titles like Mario Kart and the general idea of shareable Miis, are you missing the absolute gore that you might have had before the Wii?  There certainly are some gory games - No More Heroes, for example, and any of the FPS titles like the Medal of Honor series and the Call of Duty games.

Are you missing the gore?  Post in the comments.

(the title that I believe spawned Dan’s article is MadWorld - which isn’t being released until March 31, 2009 - but is available for pre-order.)
