San Mateo, Calif. – Nov. 30, 2009 – The creatures of the animal kingdom are ready to be cared for as My Zoo, the follow up to the WiiWare™ hit My Aquarium, launches on WiiWare today. My Zoo gives players the ability to raise and play with the cutest, cuddliest lions, elephants, giraffes and other animals in the comfort of their own homes.

Scribblenauts for Wii “would be interesting,” says tech director
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
“It certainly would be interesting to do the game for Wii… We’re always looking to do something new something that hasn’t been done before. We’re going to continue on that path.” – Technical Director Marius Fahlbusch
I wonder if we will ever see a Wii version of Scribblenauts, whether it’s a port or an original game. At this point, the latter seems more likely. You may remember that a few weeks ago, a rumored Warner Bros. listing showed Scribblenauts 2 for the Wii and DS.

Screenshots of New Super Mario Bros. Wii in 720p
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 7 Comments
Being able to see Wii games displayed in 720p isn’t exactly a new idea thanks to the Dolphin emulator. Previously, we’ve shared screenshots of Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition and Dead Space Extraction in the different video resolution. Yet, even though Wii titles have been presented in 720p in the past, these shots of New Super Mario Bros. Wii look fantastic. You can check them out below.
