Nintendo Makes A Real Wiimote: The Wii Remote Plus
by Susana Polo | 12:34 pm, September 24th
The general consensus from gaming media after the release of the Wii MotionPlus accessory has been favorable. The only problem, most would agree, is that the little addon’s superior motion tracking abilities weren’t packaged with the standard Wiimote from launch. Why put out a control system based on motion tracking when the motion tracking isn’t really good enough to chart one-to-one movements?
Well, there’s good news and bad news. The good news is, Nintendo is making a Wii Remote Plus, a wiimote (seriously, why is this word not the official jargon yet?) with the MotionPlus capabilities built in.
The bad news is that you’re going to have to buy it all over again.

by Susana Polo | 1:23 pm, September 3rd
A bizarre but telling confluence of events has lead to the conclusion that 2k Games (subsidiary of Take-Two Interactive, the company that famously sued the creators of Duke Nukem, 3D Realms, for not making Duke Nukem Forever) will be showing Duke Nukem Forever in some capacity today at the Penny Arcade Expo.

In the case of Duke Nukem Forever, fans have been waiting for thirteen years.
