Wii Fit has been out for almost two months in America now, but it has been out in Europe a little longer, and in Japan, the home of Nintendo, for over six months. Which means Japanese gamers are pretty much over their initial interest in following the daily regimen. But worry not Wii-owning fitness freaks, as Wii Yoga is on its way.

Casual gaming doesn’t require any substantial storage, right? Wrong. The gamers have spoken, and Nintendo’s response is rather lack-luster. Nintendo knows the Wii is in need of storage, but there aren’t any external storage deices in the works…unless Nintendo has some brilliant cloud storage scheme up it’s sleeve, what are Wii left with?

There has been a sizeable amount of talk lately of how Sony and Microsoft are going to try to tap in to the casual gaming market so skillfully catered to by Nintendo’s latest two consoles, the Wii and DS. As well as intense speculation surrounding a new Wii Remote-style controller for the Xbox 360, there have been rumblings of the same for the PS3.

Love it or hate it the Nintendo Wii has been a huge success, and with the console derided by many for being worthless beating the PS3 and Xbox 360 for sales month on month, Sony and Microsoft are looking at their rival with envious eyes.

Anyone who doesn’t already realise that the Nintendo Wii has gone beyond being a mere games console, and has become something new, and innovative need look no further than Wii Fit. Not only has the game sold in huge quantities, it is now proving itself as a viable alternative to going to the gym.

Ah, Blockbuster, love of our early days as budding gamers, how we adored thee! But how tragic and sorrowful your fall from grace has been. Blockbuster is trying desperately to get gamers to fall in love with it again, this time by not only debuting hot new release games like Grand Theft Auto 4 and Mario Kart on the new release wall, but also by jumping into the retail biz and selling hardware to gamers.

The success of the Nintendo Wii has surprised everyone so far, including Nintendo and its console making rivals Sony and Microsoft. It seems that Microsoft are so jealous of the amount of consoles that Nintendo is shifting, it has decided to copy the Wii remote for use on the Xbox 360.

The media has been clamoring as of late to bring hell’s fury against gaming consoles and their games; not to let trivial issues pass by without being overblown, the media has decided to bring its wrath against Xbox, its Live service Xbox’s harmless little camera. A couple child gamers were exposed to nudity via the Xbox Live camera, and justifiably, police and authorities have rightfully claimed that gaming consoles are the new venues for sexual predators.

If you’ve been hoping and praying that the HD-DVD drive add-on for the Xbox 360 would eventually drop to a realistic price point, this could be as close as it will ever get to a reasonable price; the drive has officially been dropped to just $129 dollars. However, that’s $129 dollars you could put towards a PS3, and $129 dollars you don’t have to waste on what is now considered to be a nearly dead disc format.

Nintendo is under fire for patent infringement once again as a former employee of Midway Games seemingly came up with the idea of the Wii-mote and Ninchuk in 2000.
