Ubisoft says no ‘We Dare’ for North America
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
This is a bummer way to start off my news posting for the day:
The game that everyone seems to be looking forward to, ‘We Dare’, has been confirmed by the developer to be a European release game only. The game was looking to be one of the funniest, most original and raunchy titles ever to grace gaming, and I for one am very disappointed that we won’t see it here in North America. Of course, we’ll post updates about the game for our European readers regardless, but know that I will be doing so holding back many a tear.
Excuse me while I go cry in the shower.

Nintendo Week (2/21)
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Videos, Wii | 0 comments
We would have posted this sooner, but there seems to have been some sort of glitch with video initially. For whatever reason, the Wii would freeze when attempting to play the latest Nintendo Week. In any case, it’s fixed now, so enjoy the video!

Mario Sports Mix review
Posted on 13 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in Reviews, Wii | 0 comments
Game Info:
System: Nintendo Wii
Genre: Sports/Party
Players: 1-4
Developer: Square Enix
Publisher: Nintendo
He has appeared in over two hundred video games to date, has taken on professions
from doctor to professional boxing referee, and his combined sales total from all
his games is over 210 million units. He is, of course, the one and only Mario, and it
seems as though his talents never end. From defeating over-sized apes in the original
Donkey Kong to taking the gold trophy in intense cart races, he is a master of
everything that comes his way.
