Nintendo to slash Wii price
September 15, 2009 by Insider Staff · Leave a Comment
The Sony PS3 Slim and the now cheap Xbox 360 Elite have both given Nintendo a lot to chew over. The Wii is still kicking it, but sales are sliding as punters seek out full–on home hubs rather than neat little games consoles. Which is why Nintendo is said to be planning a Wii price cut for October. Read on for the details.

Q. We’ve had a Wii in the house for months now, but the novelty’s beginning to wear off. There’s only so many games of Wii Sports that’ll keep us entertained, and other titles don’t have the same family appeal. How can I re-capture the fun we had together when it first arrived?

March 12, 2009 by Insider Staff · Leave a Comment
While its console rivals Microsoft and Sony have made price cuts in order to make their machines more desirable to the gaming public, Nintendo has never had to reduce the price of the Wii to get sales. Since launching in late 2006, the motion-sensing marvel has remained at £179.99 – and sold like hotcakes.

Venom’s Wii Hand Cannon is a top gun!
January 20, 2009 by Insider Staff · Leave a Comment
You love your Wii, right? Of course you do. Well, this could be just about the best Wii peripheral we’ve ever seen. It’s the Venom Hand Cannon for SEGA’s House of the Dead: Overkill and it’s shaped, well, like a hand cannon.
Not too dissimilar to a piece that Dirty Harry would carry, the Hand Cannon is a pistol-shaped “home” for the Wii remote. So when you’re not playing House of the Dead, you can go around asking the dog if he feels lucky, punk. It’s actually styled on the guns used by Agent G in the game, and looks pretty cool.
Pair it up with another Hand Cannon, though, and that’s when the fun really starts. You can either team up with a mate to kill zombies and the undead, but why do that when you yourself have two hands? Next thing you know, you’ll be rolling on the floor, taking cover behind your sofa. And all for the bargain basement price of £12. That’s right. ten plus two of your Sterling. Bargain!
