Thursday, January 11th, 2007

Renchi wants to sell you Wii accessories. We are in no way affiliated with them, but thought you might like to check out some of their products. In particular, the component cables. Because if you don’t have them yet, you are incredibly lazy and deserve to be covered with cream and attacked by an angry mod of clowns. They even have Wii Dust Covers!

Wario Ware: Sooooth the Groooove. m

Since the appalling movie, most publicists have been encouraging their product designers to steer clear of designing a product that simply had to be called ‘Master of Disguise‘. Nintendo didn’t give a rats what the publicists thought, and have released the latest DS Wario title with the forbidden name. Mehk.

*Unfounded Rumour* Square Enix to Sell Two Franchises

Thursday, January 11th, 2007

Square Enix, formerly Sony guarantor for qualitative worth development preserve recently this consideration. Additionally we could experience from industrialnear circles that the Japanese developer will sell two play rows of his extensive LINE Ups in the next months. Which series it concerns thereby and who the buyers are, remains up to now unclearly.

The above was an English translation of Wunderlampe.de. What it roughly translates as is, Square Enix is expected to sell two major franchises in the next two months. Which ones? Heaven knows. Could it be The Universe of Mana? Chrono? Kingdom Hearts, Dragon Quest or god forbid Final Fantasy?

If the random rumor proves to be accurate, then whatever the outcome, a small portion of the gaming world is going to feel betrayed. [Personally, I hope it is Kingdom Hearts!]

Rather Expensive Toys

Feeling a hole in your pocket from all the extra Wii accessories? Well feel bad for Kuwaiti’s, prices for a Nintendo Wii from a Virgin Megastore are more than you’d expect to pay for a USD. And a window clean from the college guy at the lights on the way home from the store.

Virgin is charging a massive 299KD for a Nintendo Wii. That’s a little over one thousand US dollars. An additional Wiimote and Nunchuk? Will set you back a cool $155 USD each. Yep, you could buy a Nintendo Wii in most countries for the price you pay in Kuwait for a single controller set.
