We’re trying to think of words to describe how we felt when we saw the Mega Man 9 screens in the gallery below, but there’s just too much emotion to articulate. As if the scans weren’t legendary enough with their retro, 8-bit goodness, the screens just make us downright [...]

Sit down if you aren’t and don’t start taking a sip of something before you click the play button on the video above: someone managed to get GoldenEye 007 to run on the Wii. As evidenced above, the title can be emulated on the Wii, but not in perfect form. There [...]

There was a momentary panic in the Wii Fanboy dungeon a few weeks ago, after news filtered through that PlayStation 3 sales had zipped past the Wii in Japan.

Star Wars games aren’t always great. In fact, sometimes they’re Masters of Teras Kasi. Sometimes they’re Super Bombad Racing. They suffer from the same fate as any other licensed game: the developers put the universe before the gameplay, and insert whichever popular genre of game they feel like [...]

Hold on, what’s all this? A Sadness rumor that actually came true? This can’t be right — and it sort of isn’t. The website is there, and it’s got stuff on it, but the stuff is old and it’s a pretty amateur attempt at a website. It’s just, you would think [...]

IGN took in a preview session of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed and found that it hasn’t been abandoned in favor of Clone Wars: Lightsaber Duels, the new hotness in yet-to-be-released lightsaber games.
