- More Iwata Asks.
- GN features a Yoshi’s Island DS interview, with mention of a possible Yoshi’s Island for Wii.
- Game|Life features Harry Potter gone horribly, horribly wrong.
As the post says, clothed, but probably NSFW anyway.
- Need component cables for your Wii? Stores don’t have any? Nintendo postponed their online store’s shipping until December 18th, so what’s a gamer to do?
Why, make your own, of course.

“You know, Sony can make 80,000 bricks, and people would buy them.”
…incidently, with some reports I’ve heard about the original and 360 XBoxes, I’m not sure “bricks” is the term I’d have chosen. Still, BG for the zing.

- My only question is, did it raise the value?

- Remember those guys from Smash My XBox? Well, they’re at it again.
Guess you could say that the PS3 launch was a smashing success. I always knew it’d be a smash hit out of the gate…
And in fairness, the Wii. Which, from a numeric perspective, is about the equivalent of killing a cow versus killing an Asian elephant.
- Only one NES game could justify a $15,000 price tag…
…well, to some, anyway.

Dammit, now I’m thirsty. I need a drink. BRB.
- …so what the hell would a western-oriented RPG consist of?

- …and this guy is Nintendo of Australia’s PR manager?!
Oh, good lord…
- Wow, EB preorders for Wii got a pretty cool t-shirt.

If only others followed in that…
