Before you read this, keep in mind that Target sales are often labeled as “your mileage may vary,” meaning that they’re not universal to all Target stores. Now that that’s out of the way, Aeropause is reporting that the retailer has marked down new GameCubes to a mere $25 in order [...]

Earthbound cubeecraft is out of this world

Nintendo Wii Fanboy
Filed under: Fan stuff

Even with its ESRB rating, we can’t help but be skeptical about Earthbound descending onto the Virtual Console. While we’d like nothing more, it seems too good to be true that Starmen.net’s hard-fought battle to get the game on the VC would finally end in victory. As we’ve also mentioned, [...]

Filed under: Wii Warm Up

Sometimes, after being handed bad game after bad game (or at the very least, patronizing game after patronizing game), you can’t help but lose faith in a company. Hence our thoughts regarding the Prince of Persia rumor- if it’s true, we just don’t if know if we believe that [...]

Despite our severe dislike for all things Aerosmith, Guitar Hero: Aerosmith is still very much a Guitar Hero game. And that is entirely okay with us.

Bionic Commando and the soundtrack you won’t hear on the Wii

Nintendo Wii Fanboy
Filed under: Fan stuff

Buy an actual stadium instead

Nintendo Wii Fanboy
Filed under: News

We’re no strangers to collectable NES junk and completely bonkers auctions, but learning about this piece of Nintendo history makes us glance, ever-so-slightly, to our own boxes of dusty cartridges in the hopes that we might one day become millionaires after a forgotten NES relic turns out to be a gold [...]
