“Gee, things have been quiet on this front lately. I wonder what’s going on?”

Okay, so I’m not actually imagining anyone has been saying that, but in any case, I’ve been putting a bunch of work into some stuff. Namely…

From the Canada Nintendo Examiner:

The Canada Nintendo Examiner’s holiday guide to Wii hardware

The Canada Nintendo Examiner’s holiday guide to Wii games, part 1

The Canada Nintendo Examiner’s holiday guide to Wii games, part 2

Yeah, this has taken up a good chunk of time lately. Next time, I’m starting my holiday guide in July.

In any case, this is a list of games I believe would make good or popular choices as gifts this holiday season. A few are token “this is too popular NOT to be on there” choices, rather than anything I care about (such as Call of Duty or Rock Band 3, for example). But for the most part, I believe in these choices.

And doing this, I believe anyone who says there is nothing on Wii has too much time and too much money. Go take up skydiving, or mountain climbing, or totem-pole carving. Maybe begin investing in first-print comic books.

As for a DS guide… well, that’s coming.

From the Toronto Video Game Examiner:

Eidos Montreal reveals Deus Ex: Human Revolution’s “Augmented Edition” – Eidos Montreal and Square Enix have put together some enticing bonus packages for those who are into the Deus Ex franchise.

What games are your Canadian Forces playing? – Canadian Forces have ordered around 500 games, and strangely enough, they aren’t the hottest new releases.

GameStop brings Black Friday to Canada – Clearly, Boxing Day/Week could not contain all the bloodshed. At least this one seems to be an online-only affair.

New trailer, screens, Q&A, and analysis for Deus Ex: Human Revolution

See Donkey Kong Country Returns, bananas eaten at Toronto launch event – I realize this seems like it should be in Canada Nintendo Examiner, but since it’s in Toronto, I figured maybe I should put it here instead.

From the Canada Nintendo Examiner:

Nintendo revives WiiWare demos – About time, though it may also only be for a limited time.

From The Mega Man Network:

More Rockman Online Gameplay, Screens, and Details – The gameplay reveals little new, save for the space station lobby the characters sit around in, but there are some other interesting details to be found here.

More kidney stone fun has led to a bit of a delay in me reporting what I’ve been writing, so here’s a quick catch-up on things:

From the Toronto Video Game Examiner:

Activision announces veteran donations from Call of Duty: Black Ops sales – While one Canadian veteran of the Vietnam War questions the release date of Activision’s latest Call of Duty title in proximity to Remembrance Day, the company has revealed that it will be donating a sum of money to “Call of Duty Endowment” to help find places for war veterans to work and live.

The Nintendo Download – 11/15/10 – Another Virtual Console-less week. Need for Speed looks neat, but that is sadly just for DSiWare.

A busy week in Nintendo history – Miyamoto’s birthday isn’t the only thing which has occurred this week in Nintendo’s history; many significant game releases and platform launches have occurred over the years, too.

Legends 3 Devroom Kicks Off – As noted above, it’s finally here!

North American Devroom Open! Get Your Servbot Number! – And in North America, too! Note that some people have been having trouble getting their Servbot number (mine is 66), so you may need to check out Capcom Unity’s guide to make sure everything is set up properly.

Mega Man Fights the Console Wars – A Mega Man X equipped with Classic weaponry joins Mario, Link, Samus, and Zelda to fight “Firewall” in this recreation of “what could easily be considered the most traumatic RPG battle on the SNES.” Can anything thwart this unstoppable force?

From the Toronto Video Game Examiner:

Interview with Deus Ex: Human Revolution Producer David Anfossi – We get down to business, and ask the most important question of all.
