Can't get hold of Nintendo's Wii Sing? - stores warn of game shortage
“Ever since we first unveiled We Sing at Gamescom’09 both trade and consumers have been insatiable in their desire to discover more about the title.” Commented Nordic Games’ Sales & Marketing Director, Nik Blower. “Our partners throughout Europe have done a fantastic job and left us with the enviable problem of having to try and manufacture significantly more units in time for the peak-season rush.”

Nintendo Wii bricked by system 4.2 update? Nintendo to offer Free repair...
Running into problems with new system updates is always a risk when you have homebrew in your console, but having a clean one bricked by a supposedly official update is another thing altogether.

Favourite Nintendo Wii games of 2008 Mario Kart, Wii Fit, Animal Crossing and more...
It would be a fair assessment to say Nintendo has ridden a wave of casual games to the point of abandoning their dedicated fan base.
The first half of the year saw the release of its most anticipated titles, Super Smash Bros Brawl and Mario Kart Wii, sequels to historically fun games.
But shortly thereafter, Nintendo packaged a bathroom scale with a game called Wii Fit for $90.
This became 2008's biggest breakout hit, far outselling Grand Theft Auto IV and other traditional gamers' games. Like Wii Sports, Wii Fit asks you to make simple movements to play various minigames, but also tracks your weight while you do it.
I wish I could tell you what happened in the World Of Wii in the second half of the year, but the only major releases were Animal Crossing: City Folk, a virtually unchanged update of a game on DS and Gamecube in previous years, and Wii Music, a title designed for those who find the gameplay of Guitar Hero to be too much realism, and instead relies on gestures to mimic various musical instruments. When I was a kid, they called this "air guitar," though now they've also added air sousaphone and air glockenspiel.
Mario Kart Wii, the game I'd most heartily recommend.

Top Video Games 2008 PS3, Xbox 360, Wii - Rock Band, Mario Kart, Little Big Planet, Wii Fit, FIFA 09, Tomb Raider...
No 1 games in 2008
Rock Band PS3, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii.
Developed by Harmonix, creators of the blockbuster Guitar Hero franchise, Rock Band is an all-new platform for gamers ready to take on the challenges of the Rock & Roll lifestyle. Instruments available to players are guitar, bass, drums or vocals as they hit the road as either an aspiring superstar solo act, or for the first time in game genre history take on the true collaborative and challenging nature of music as they form a band and jam together in multiplayer action. Either way players will need to master their stage presence through the various game modes and polish their rock chops via the unrivaled Rock Band song list if they hope to make it out of the garage, into the clubs and finally on to the main stage.
Guitar Hero PS3, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS.
Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock continues to build on Guitar Hero's successful easy to play, but difficult to master gameplay mechanic to take the franchise to a whole new level. With master tracks from legendary bands like Sex Pistols, Guns N Roses, Rolling Stones, Metallica, and Pearl Jam, along with original music composed specifically for the game by iconic guitarists Slash and Tom Morello, Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock sports the greatest soundtrack to ever find its way into a videogame. Vastly improved graphics immerse gamers into their rock arenas and heighten their visual experience while the new wireless Gibson guitar controllers allow the players to channel their inner guitar gods. The arcade-inspired battle mode, expanded co-op career and boss battles add depth and extend gameplay for countless hours of shred time.
Mario Kart Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS.
Nintendo is bringing Mario and his friends with their finely tuned racing machines back and this time to the Nintendo Wii. With 3 different control styles and a Wii Wheel included in the box, Mario Kart Wii is bound to be the best in the series. The worldwide race is on with a whole new set of tricks, tracks, and ways to play! Place first in Grand Prix circuits or clear skill-based missions. Mario Kart Wii draws on courses and battle arenas from every game in the series – not to mention tons of new ones – the true king of the Mushroom Kingdom racing circuits will finally be crowned.
LittleBigPlanet PlayStation 3.
Amazing graphics bring the world of the main character, known as Sackboy, and his fabric-coated pals to life with realistic physics and a stunning level of detail. Played with friends it’s a great puzzle adventure, as you co-operate and compete across each level.
The game’s trump card though is its customisation, not just the characters themselves but the whole game. It’s extremely easy to create your own levels, and the best fun is had simply setting up areas for mucking around and then sharing them online with other people.
Wii Fit Nintendo Wii (with balance board)
The active-play phenomenon started by Wii Sports now spreads to your whole body thanks to Wii Fit and the pressure-sensitive Wii Balance Board, which comes bundled with it. Used together players will experience an extensive array of fun, dynamic and surprisingly challenging activities, including aerobics, yoga, muscle stretches and balance oriented games. The focus of these activities is towards providing a "core" workout, a popular exercise method that emphasizes slower, controlled motions, but it's the fun approach to fitness of Wii Fit that will keep players hooked on fitness for years to come.
FIFA 09 PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PlayStation 2, Nintendo Wii, PSP, Nintendo DS, PC.
Step onto the pitch and play professional football your way in FIFA 09. Experience the most authentic football simulation EA Sports has delivered as you live the fantasy of playing as a professional player and customise the game to suit your style and ability.
Powered by the third generation of the EA Sports football engine, FIFA 09 features more than 250 core gameplay additions and enhancements that deliver the most responsive, intelligent and realistic action ever for the series. Enjoy turning defenders with more controlled dribbling and ball control, snapping off precision shots with improved first-time shooting mechanics and firing beautifully timed passes with greater accuracy, placing the ball exactly where you want it.
Tomb Raider - Underworld PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS, PC.
The basics of the game are classic Tomb Raider, as you explore the trap-filled interiors of ancient ruins using Lara’s famed acrobatic skills (and dual action pistols). From an underwater temple guarded by a giant octopus-like kraken to ancient Mayan structures in the South American jungle, she makes Indiana Jones look even older. All of the levels are much larger than in previous games and far more interactive. You'll leave footprints in the sand and find all the scenery fully destructable. Every puzzle has multiple solutions, and the hand-to-hand combat system has been completely revamped. A new 3D map system also helps to ensure you never get lost so that you can concentrate on saving the world.

UKs best selling Christmas game is FIFA 09
ELSPA lists Fifa 09 as UK’s number one.
Last week it seemed Call of Duty: World at War or Mario Kart Wii would make the UK’s top selling games this Christmas; but when two games quarrel, a third rejoices. Fifa 09 shot up from position 3 right to the top and takes the crown in the struggle for supremacy on domestic screens.
Electronic Arts has developed FIFA 09 and it’s the sixth year in a row that the folks from EA supply the best selling Christmas game in the UK. FIFA 09 sales have increased by another 89% and therefore could surpass last week’s number one call of duty (down 13%).
Mario Kart Wii is a continuous burner and has been listed in the ELSPA charts for 36 weeks now.The game moved down from position two to three and sold more copies than follow-up Need For Speed.
Quantum of Solace had risen by 53% last week and could continue to do so in the last week. The reward: position seven for the James Bond game (up from 13).
Wii Play and Dr Kawashima’s Brain mainly remained unchanged at position six and five. Wii Fit wnet down two places and now sits on position ten in the UK list for the best selling game.
