First there was an alleged
Toys R Us ad, and now we've caught wind of what's claimed to be a Best Buy spot showing the Nintendo
Wii getting that long-desired $50 price drop, down just below the two Benjamin mark. Easily Photoshopped image? You betcha, so we'll just have to play wait-and-see as the evidence seems to mount up -- it's been
a long time coming, after all, we wouldn't be that surprised given the oncoming holiday season and the recent
downward trend in demand.

That
black Nintendo Wii bundle Nintendo is gifting to Europe on November 6th has found itself home amongst the Amazon UK listings. Recommended price is £179.99 but the online retailer is knocking off eight percent to make it an event £164.99 -- that's about $269 to the US gamers who still don't have a shot at getting this. What makes it interesting is that the identical bundle in white doesn't have that £15 discount,
but Amazon is sweetening the pot with the choice of two free titles, including
FIFA10. Of course there's still the £142.99 white, non-bundled Wii for a lot less. Our money's still on the black bundle -- or it would be, at least, if Nintendo would give the US writers on staff, and the country at large, a stab at the new console color.
[Thanks, Ian]

In a new study conducted by Scott Owens out of the University of Mississippi, the
Wii Fit was loaned to eight families and the usage and
fitness impact was tracked over time -- three months before they got the Wii, and three months after. The verdict? "No significant changes" in family fitness from the Wii. Interestingly, over the period of three months the daily Wii Fit usage declined a staggering 82 percent, from 22 minutes a day for the first half of the time all the way down to an average of four minutes a day for the last six weeks. The biggest winners here were the children, who did display some "significant" increases in the specific area of aerobic fitness, but we get the feeling that with a bit more stick-to-itiveness the whole family might've been able to raise its game here. Or maybe Nintendo could invest in making some more motion-controlled games that don't become repetitive and shallow after two playthroughs.
Wii Fit found to have 'little effect' on family fitness level, boredom seems to be the main culprit originally appeared on Engadget on Thu, 17 Dec 2009 02:11:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

Charged with reviewing the Wii game "Our House Party,", I determined that the best way to effectively evaluate the game would be to do as the game suggests -- that is, have a house party. Game (and living room) loaded, my friends and I took to our Wii remotes (and nunchucks, which are necessary) and began the virtual home improvement journey that is Our House Party. Like many Wii games, there is a learning curve. Unlike many Wii games, Our House Party incorporates numerous and varied ...
