Many have asked where are the Wii games?

Big cup of STFUNintendo is replying - here they are, now shut up!
This is a huge list of games that will put the library of Wii titles close to 150 (not counting Virtual Console games) and the DS titles close to 450.

I thnk Nintendo really wants to show everyone that not only Nintendo developed games are scheduled ot hit the console but also a lot of third party games as well, many have speculated that third party developers would shy away from the unique controls.

Here is the all encompassing list of games scheduled to come out for the Wii and the DS until the first quarter of next year.

Oct. 1: Dragon Blade: Wrath of Fire(TM) from D3Publisher of America

Poll: What era of gaming is your favorite?

ConsolesAfter hearing MS brag about their best lineup in history it got me thinking, throughout the years we have had different eras in gaming and consoles, which is everyone’s favorite?

For some their favorite will be the newest cutting edge technology, the nostalgia of the old 8 bit consoles, the progression to 16 bit or the classic old school Atari days. This can be viewed from many aspects like, games, hardware or just pure preference.

For this editor I think my favorite era of gaming has to be the NES and Sega Master System days. This opened the world of gaming to my eyes and got me really hooked, I can recall spending hours playying Ninja Gaiden and Contra, while discussing with my cousin which was the better system between the two. (I was always the Nintendo owner)

What do you guys think?

Who has the better trailer?

Angry Video Game Nerd: Atari Porno?

There was a time in the early 80’s where there were very little rules and guidelines for developing and manufacturing video games. I would not recommend watching this one at work.

In a press release issued today, Infogrames Entertainment SA let us know that they’ve extended their license of the Dungeons & Dragons universe through 2017.

The agreement covers all current and future products that are part of this universe, including NeverWinter Nights, Baldur’s Gate, etc.

Two new games have already been announced for fiscal 2007-2008: NeverWinter Nights 2 Expansion Pack for PC and Dungeons & Dragons Tactics for PSP.

Infogrames has done a good job with the license so far, so this is good new for RPG players out there.

Also as part of the agreement, Infogrames is selling some of licensed content back to Hasbro, the makers of D&D. The gaming licenses for Monopoly, Scrabble, Risk, Game of Life, Clue, Yahtzee, Battleship, Boggle and Simon will end up back in Hasbro’s hands for the cool price of $19.5 million. That’s a lot of money for Boggle. Read More »

Update: The Top 5 Video Game Controllers of All Time

atari-2600.jpgLast week, Cnet released its opinion of what the Top 5 Video Game Controllers of All Time are. I have to be honest, I do not agree with their list whatsoever.

You can link above to the full article, but here is their list.

Update: The list seems to be in no order whatsoever, but feel free to rank them as you see fit or give us an entirely new list as some readers already have.

Xbox360 Controller

PS2 Controller

N64 Controller

SNES Controller

Atari 2600 Joystick

Sweet list guys, you basically picked a controller from each generation.  Granted the Atari got it all started, but come on.  That thing was so fragile, it would break every time I jumped in Moon Patrol.  As far as the SNES, didn’t that evolve from that NES thing that came out in the 80’s?  I remember reading how the N64 controller was the worst idea since poop flavored lollipops when it was first released, yet it cracks the top 3.  Someone should tell these people that were other systems out there.  Intellivision, Colecovision, I mean the Xbox controller was almost a rip from the Atari Jaguar minus the stupid keys.  Let us know what you think so we can make a respectable list.
