GameStop’s CEO, Dan DeMatteo, has been chatting to CNBC about the year ahead and has hinted at some big things to come for the Nintendo Wii. First up lets get the other things out of the way, he thinks the PS3 has to cut the price and that the PS2 price cut was a waste of time. He also commends …

The Wii Motion Plus was something that should have actually been incorporated into the Wii’s controls from the start, I know it, you know it and I am pretty sure that Nintendo knows it. Adding proper motion sensing to the Wii- mote means that so many games will now feature a whole lot less waggling for no good reason. Problem …

Many of us remember Nintendo’s presentation at E3 last year; it left me scratching my head wondering if it all wasn’t maybe an elaborate joke. Punctuated by such scenes as an overly enthusiastic Cammie Dunaway, an ill-conceived Wii Music demonstration, and the announcement of Animal Crossing to appease core gamers (WTF, Nintendo?), Ninty’s keynote last year was, quite frankly, lame. …

Kjeld Jensen of the University of South Denmark has done three awesome things : He’s built what is possibly the coolest non-driveable lawnmower, and found a decent use for the Wiimote by using it to control the aforementioned destroyer of grass. Lastly, he’s proved to the world that …

It seems like if you want specific figures on game sales you need to live in either America, Britain or Japan… everywhere else prefers to release percentages which makes me feel like they are trying to overplay the importance of their own market. Lazygamer is currently in discussion with the relevant parties locally and we will hopefully bringing you figures …

It appears that Sony has had enough of Microsoft trying to annex Japan and the Americanised Nintendo ruling in the land of the rising sun. With a glint in it’s eye and a smile on it’s face, Sony has been marketing itself silly in Japan and it appears that it is really paying off. For the second month running now …
