YEAR IN REVIEW: Wii puts PS3 to shame

The Wii is easily the most unique system to hit the market since, well, ever. Nintendo's gamble to produce a console follow-up of sorts to its successful DS portable proved a handsome payoff, leading Sony to play catch-up with its overblown and overpriced Playstation 3.

Featuring a novel way of playing - using hand motions with the unique remote-style controller to manipulate the on-screen action - the Wii has come screaming onto the gaming scene.

However, no amount of fancy technology can save a system if it lacks quality games. Luckily, Wii opened up with the surprisingly addictive "Wii Sports" included in the package (which provided sore wrists for many would-be bowlers, boxers and golfers) and quickly expanded with nothing less than the ridiculously anticipated "The Legend of Zelda: The Twilight Princess" and "Trauma Center: Second Opinion."

Nintendo was often criticized in its GameCube days for making sloppy decisions and ignoring public demands, but it seems that with the Wii, the house that Mario built has received the remodeling it so desperately needed.

Wii Renovation Completed at Nintendo World Store

Located at Rockefeller Center, Nintendo World Store in NYC has completed their renovations and the Wii section is now complete. Customers can get hands-on with The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Excite Truck, and Wii Sports in the store's spacious gaming area. Challenge your buddies in the multi-play area, visit the library of Wii games, and more. It looks like a really cool store. The official site is pretty sweet and has some extras that set it apart from the norm.

It sure beats the dark and dank gaming stores I have visited in life that smell of old pizza, feet, and dashed hopes and dreams.

17:08 Datel accessory allows complex Wii tinkering (0)

There have been plenty of third party accessories released for the Nintendo Wii since its release late last year, dozens of company's desperate to persuade consumers to part with a little more cash, whether it be to enhance their gaming experience directly (sword and shield props for The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, anyone?) or by more complex means, as with Datel's Wii Drive Doctor, dubbed 'the ultimate home mod tool' for Nintendo's latest console.

Datel, well known for their invention of videogame enhancement products (perhaps best recognised as the creator of the best-selling Action Replay brand of cheat systems), have now come up with a device which allows Wii owners to connect their console to the PC using a USB cable. Once the two machines are getting along merrily, you'll be able to check on and even tinker on all sorts of computer-related techno-wizardry, from control commands to entering code into the Wii's data stream.

Aussie game charts: April 23-29

T-U-R-T-L-E power reigned supreme in Australia last week, with the latest PlayStation 2 adventures of Donatello and the gang taking the top spot in the overall Australian game charts for the week of April 23 to April 29.

TMNT took the number-one spot from Diddy Kong Racing for the Nintendo DS, which slipped back a place to land in second position, according to data trackers GfK Australia. Nintendo games had a strong showing in the overall top 10, with five entrants including Sonic and the Secret Rings and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess for the Wii, and Bratz: Forever Diamondz and Animal Crossing: Wild World for the Nintendo DS.

The PlayStation 3 port of last year's role-playing game hit The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion had a strong debut Down Under, coming in at fourth spot in the overall charts.
