The premium cable only service HBO is going to make it’s way to consoles and other devices such as iPads, iPods and probably Android phones and devices. The great thing about this is that popular shows like the Sopranos, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Taxicab Confessions will be available. The bad news is that not every console is going to have it and in order to use it you will still need to be subscribed to some sort of cable subscription service  as HBO doesn’t let you have subscribe to watch online.

So Nintendo is bringing some cool game back to the Virtual Console as well as  some nice stuff for the DSi Ware, but this update is really about Mario Party 2, which came out on Nintendo 64 back in the day. Head on over to your Wii game store and download it as it will bring you back some nice memories of times when games were all about fun.

Virtual Console

Mario Party 2
Original platform: Nintendo 64
Publisher: Nintendo
Players: 1-4
ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) – Mild Violence
Price: 1,000 Wii Points
Description: Get ready to party like it’s the year 2000 all over again, complete with fancy costumes, bags of surprises and games galore. Mario and his Mushroom Kingdom friends return for a new round of Bowser-bashing board game action in Mario Party 2. Each of your favorite characters dons a differently themed outfit to take part in five fun-packed Adventure Boards: Pirate Land, Western Land, Space Land, Mystery Land and Horror Land. Then battle Bowser™ on his own specific board – if you’re brave enough. Up to four players (additional accessories required, sold separately) can travel around the boards and compete in minigames for coins while also using items to gain an advantage. Win the most stars and become the ultimate victor: the Super Star. Or, if you just feel like proving your minigame mettle, visit Mini-Game Land. Head to the Mini-Game Stadium and replay your favorites, including the Item, Battle, Duel and Chance Time minigames.

Real Nintendo fans out there know that even though Mario is the title that made Nintendo what it is today, the company had some helpers other then Mario. Donkey Kong is very important to Nintendo and what a better way to remember these old games with a new version of the popular side scroller. Below you can watch a trailer of the upcoming new Donkey Kong Country Returns game on the Wii. (more…)

The folks over at Atlus are bringing two awesome games to the Nintendo Wii and to the handheld DS and these two games are Naruto Shoppuden: Dragon Blade on the Nintendo Wii and then of course the DS version will be called NARUTO SHIPPUDEN: Naruto vs. Sasuke.

This is a game that we are looking forward on it’s release date as it is a side scroll style of game, which we love as it brings back the classic style of games that were all used to. Epic Mickey takes you into a world where the forgotten and rejected Disney characters live in and because the game is coming out on the Wii, you will probably get to use the Wii remote so that alone will make it fun.
