It’s ready for pre-order now, with a release date on November 17 (which is in 5 days) – Need for Speed: Undercover is the newest of titles from EA for Wii. Check out this trailer, and go preorder your copy.
Have you taken a look lately as to how many accessories, WIRELESS accessories, are for sale for Wii lately? I just counted on Amazon, and I counted 37, just by searching “wireless.”
Go check out the Wireless selection of controllers, communication devices (headsets), and other stuff.
Oh, holy crap.
I just read an article at IGN about Shaun White’s Snowboarding Road Trip for Wii – and as I am a huge fan of SSX for both PS2 and Wii, you can imagine that I will be dropping hints to my wife and co-editor about a Christmas present…
Check out this trailer:
So with this one, SSX Blur, and We Ski, we’re getting a few more games into our Snowboarding/Skiing fanatics list!
Okay – I am not going to say muchy of anything about the link below, except for that you need to click on it, and watch the short video in its entirety. Don’t take your eyes off of the screen!
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.
Amazon has Tony Hawk’s Downhill Jam for $19.69 new, and 10.44 used from its various sellers. The game has decent reviews, and looks pretty fun. If you get it, please post back here and let us know how it is!
Wal-Mart has stand-alone Wii consoles right now – if you’re looking for one, go get it!
The Nintendo Wii Is Now In Stock At RadioShack.com If you’ve been looking for a standalone unit, take advantage of this opportunity quickly!

Go check out their list! Sale ends September 6, and shipping is $4.84.
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.)
I just stumbled across a website (thanks to Make Mag) that is a must-see for wiimote modders: Wiimotemods.com. This site is chock full of excellent wiimote LED mods and button backlight mods – a great addition to your regular RSS feeds for Wii.
Check out this article on adding flashing LED’s to your rumbling wiimote. Excellent step-by-step instruction with plenty of images and pointers. Thanks, Wiimote Mods!
Check this out – My Aquarium for Wii is coming, some time in 2008. A simulation game, My Aquarium turns your TV into a virtual aquarium. Those of you with HDTV’s should love this one.
Congratulations to Steve from the comments section – he was randomly chosen as the winner of the 2000 points Wii Points Card. Look for new contests, we have a few coming up!
Looks like a single shot 12 gauge…
The Wii Shot Gun – a pre-order for an accessory!
Now that’s just some serious gaming.
I was looking around for interesting accessories this morning on some kind of rant, and I came across the Wii Boxing Gloves accessory. This is an offering from CTA Digital.
Hmm. Anyone have these and want to write a review? Pick a pair up here. They’re about $20.
Youtube user “jbreckman” hacked his Guitar Hero Wii guitar controller with several combinations of playable notes using half and full presses of the whammy bar, the power mode (raising the guitar), and a few others. Check out the video!
Looks like WiiDVD is on hiatus for a bit as Nintendo gets their supply problems sorted out. Nintendo president Satoru Iwata says (in reference to Wii), “With supply constraints [of the Wii] continuing worldwide, the priority is on the current model.” Looks like WiiDVD desirers are looking at some time in 2009 to get DVD playing capabilities.
We’re glad to see that Nintendo has its priorities in order – and it’s not unexpected with a system like the Wii selling like it is.
Thanks to Nintendic for the info.
I just finished the Lightning race on the 150CC class of Mario Kart Wii. Yes, I know, everyone else has already finished and is laughing because I’m so slow. However, I’m very busy, so my playing time gets drastically cut down. However, in light of this momentous occasion, I am posting some videos of the various shortcuts in the courses that you can use to rocket yourself to “A” scores and gold cups!
Do you for some reason NOT have Mario Kart Wii?
These are just a few of the 40+ videos online about the shortcuts in Mario Kart. There are some rpetty devious ones out there, as well – we’re still big fans of actually playing the games we buy!
Coming out on August 25, 2008 (and available NOW for pre-order) is Mario Super Sluggers – if you’ve played Wii Sports, then you’re all ready to go with this upcoming title. Players will use the same motions from Wii Sports Baseball to throw and bat, and the game promises to be yet another bridge between old hat gamers and those new to Wii gaming.
We’re making no judgements here at WeKnowWii.com, but when will someone come out with a game where it actually takes some skill to catch the ball? We will undoubtedly play and probably enjoy this title, of course.
Direct from the Nintendo Press Room:
Mario™ Super Sluggers stars the ever-lovable Mario and his crew of friends. It builds on the social-gaming fun and movements people learned in Wii Sports™ and turns them into a full-fledged baseball game that can be played by every member of the household. Players make a throwing motion with the Wii Remote controller to pitch the baseball and make a swinging motion to swing at the pitch. The game boasts more than 30 playable Nintendo characters and all the madness of a Mario sports game. Just like Mario Kart® Wii, it bridges the gap between experienced players and those new to the Wii console, with fun challenges and beautiful graphics.
