Is there a single gaming-related object, we wonder, that has not yet had the innards of a NES squashed into it? As it happens, yes. Of all the stuff-a-NES-in-something mod variants that we've encountered, we can't recall a light gun being used to encase Nintendo's ancient console. | |

The Conduit, The Conduit, The Conduit -- that's all we media types bang on about when it comes to High Voltage.

Whether you don't yet own Guitar Hero III or just want to pick up another Les Paul guitar, you might find yourself shopping at Circuit City this week.

Hell's Kitchen trailer is a total donkey, plus other Nintendo Channel vids (via Nintendo Wii Fanboy) - Filed under: News, Video
Another Monday means more videos on the Nintendo Channel, and is there anything worth watching? Well, not really.

E308: Wii Fanboy flips burgers in Cooking Mama: World Kitchen (via Nintendo Wii Fanboy) - Filed under: FeaturesClick to embiggen
I should preface this by saying I'm not a huge Cooking Mama fan. Sure, she's great and all, but preparing fake food often held a spot in my heart next to making real food. I'm just no good at either activity. But, that isn't to say that Cooking Mama: World Kitchen isn't better by leaps and bounds than its predecessor. | |

So, hit up the video above for the games in motion, then be sure to head past the break for the rest. | |
Nintendo E3 conference fanfiction (via Nintendo Wii Fanboy) - Filed under: Fan stuff
Yes, Nintendo's E3 press conference was very disappointing for people with unrealistic expectations. They didn't announce Kid Icarus or Mario or Zelda or Fire Emblem or Elite Beat Agents Wii or Kung Fu or any other new "hardcore" game, and furthermore, they failed to mention existing core gamer stuff like the amazing Wario Land: Shake It!. | |

E3 'headed for extinction,' says Pachter (via Nintendo Wii Fanboy) - Filed under: NewsWatch out, E3! According to Wedbush Morgan analyst and man Michael Pachter, you could soon be heading the way of the Dodo, the Quagga, and decent Sonic games.

E308: Wii Fanboy fights crime in LEGO Batman (via Nintendo Wii Fanboy) - Filed under: Features
When I showed up at the Warner Bros. meeting room to demo LEGO Batman, I was excited, but also kind of reluctant. You see, the formula of these LEGO titles had started to show its age, as reviews of LEGO Indiana Jones weren't the most favorable. I was a tad bit worried that LEGO Batman would not be the game I was hoping it to be. | |

Sonic and the Black Knight is totally real (via Nintendo Wii Fanboy) - Filed under: News
After that sexy Nintendo Power cover and a pretty legit-sounding scenario, Sonic and the Black Knight is now confirmed as a Wii-exclusive title. Some guy on the official SEGA message boards "confirmed" it was real, but offered no details beyond waiting for the official page on sega. | |

Now that E3 2008 has wrapped, it only seems fitting that we revisit last year's big deal (or one of them): Wii Fit. If you picked it up, are you still using it? It's still a pretty big deal here, particularly because it's so hot outside in the wide open real world. | |
