Wii breakfast seems to be a logical extension of Wii technology… or not. At least it makes a funny video.

Pretty funny Wii Breakfast video…

I just hope there’s never a Wii Bathroom or a Wii Wipe…

I bought my kids Mario Kart and we all love it. In fact, we love it so much that it has been one of the more effective discipline tactics used… ever. No Mario Kart is an amazing motivator… at least for kids ages 5-11.

Anyway, I found this short review of the top 3 Wii Racing games. Check it out:

If you are the owner of a Nintendo Wii gaming system, then you have probably wondered if it is possible to copy or backup your Nintendo games. Well you should be glad to hear that you can back up Wii games and this article will tell you how to make a Wii disc back up. The concept is the same for burning a CD or DVD, but the software for burning Wii games is different.

The most important thing that you need to do to backup your Wii game is to find software that is made specifically for making backup copies of video games. Video game discs come with copyright protection features that wont allow you to use regular CD or DVD burning software, however there are now software companies out there who make software that will allow you to bypass the copyright protection features and back up Wii games.

Once you have the software installed on your computer it will be able to read the game disc, without it your computer will never recognize the game. So just remember that you must have game copying software to backup your Wii games.

The software is very easy to use, and in just a couple of steps you should have a backup for your original copy. The first thing that you would do is take your original Wii game disc which should be in good condition already, and insert it into your computer, your computer and the software will make a duplicate image of your game, when that process is finished you will be prompted to insert a blank disc and then the software does all the rest and makes you a backup copy of your original game.

If you play games on different gaming consoles, the software not only works for Nintendo Wii games, but you can also make backups for PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 games.

Now that you have learned how to backup Wii games, start protecting your video games today.

Since my post a while back about getting a 298 in bowling on Wii Sports, I haven’t been able to get past 9 strikes in a row. Have any of you bowled a 300? Post a comment and tell us what happens. Also, let us know if you have any tips.

I’ve been playing a lot of Wii Tennis that comes with Wii Sports. I’ve gotten to the point where I’m way above what I thought was the upper limit. My rank/score is 2268. Up until recently, I thought the highest you could go after professional is the top of the screen, or 2000. Apparently not.

Anyway, I was at a friend’s house and we were talking about the strategies for getting a higher rank (more coming in a future post). Then, something weird happened…

My friend was playing against the Wii opponents (I wasn’t playing with or against him). He sort of spiked the ball at an angle toward the left side of the court, just near the net. The computer opponent jumped really high to get the ball off the bounce… They hit it back, but they ended up in the stands. And the other Wii opponent had to play the remainder of the volley alone, while the first one was trapped in the stands.

Useless post, I know, but I also wanted to brag a bit about my rank in tennis

I blew it… I was playing Wii Sports with my kids.  I bowled a 298… blew it on the last throw.

In case you are wondering, here’s what is said for each strike after the first:

2 strikes – “Double”

3 strikes – “Turkey”

4 strikes – “Fourth”

5 strikes – “Fifth”

6 strikes – “Six-Pack”

7 strikes – “Seven-Pack”

8 strikes – “8 in a Row”

9 strikes – “9 in a Row”

10 strikes – “10 in a Row”

11 strikes – “11 in a Row”

I don’t know what it says if you bowl a perfect game, though.

One annoying thing about bowling so well in the game is that everything is pretty realistic until you get to like 7 strikes in a row.  I real life, the whole bowling alley would stop and watch from that point on.  But, in Wii Sports Bowling, people keep right on bowling – even in the lanes next to you.

When I blew it on the last throw, someone in the next lane bowled right before I started going.  I guess I only have Mii to blame, though :0)

With huge amount of games coming out these days there are always going to be some that you miss. Now, some of these are probably best missed but in the heap there are always a few gems.

First among these may be considered an odd choice as it’s more of an anthology of a series, but Metal Slug Anthology on Wii should not be missed by any action fans. Featuring 8 different games, the whole of the Metal Slug arcade and console series is here to play either by yourself, or the much more enjoyable way – with friends, as each game does feature a full co-op mode.

The basic premise of the game is simple, a two dimensional scrolling shoot em up featuring over the top weaponry and brilliant cartoon animation. You play one of four soldiers, who with the help of the occasional tank, the aptly named Metal Slugs of the game, fighting your way through different levels and locales taking on ridiculous amounts of enemy troops along the way.

The game has it’s tongue firmly in it’s cheek all the way through. Nothing is serious, with numerous comical set pieces throughout each level, and to keep the ride flowing smoothly there is of course the inevitable arrow telling you to move on to the next section, just like all good side scrollers.

If your a Xbox 360, one game you probably missed at the time was Just Cause. The game is set on a lush Caribbean island where you are special agent Luis Rodrigez, sent to stop the corrupt government. Now it doesn’t sound that great from that brief synopsis, but the game is so much more than that. The game follows the ideas behind Grand Theft Auto and runs with them. The island you call home is basically a huge sandbox of sun, sea and sand and the 360’s graphical power is used well to show it off. With an incredible draw distance and the ability to take a helicopter far into the sky, the game definitely looks impressive.

The game does have some significant flaws such as a repetitive mission structure and less than brilliant AI from your enemies, but the main reason to play this game is for the sheer fun of it. The first time you tak that helicopter up in the air and skydive from it’s highest points is one of the most satisfying game experiences you can have. That’s right, you can skydive. Anytime. Also you are automatically equipped with a grappling which can be used to latch of to other vehicles including planes and helicopters and this results in some of the most over the top stunts you can imagine.

A very fun game, if you ignore the main story for the most part.

The PS3 hasn’t got one of the most extensive libraries out there but that hasn’t stopped some games being lost in the pile. One game that you really should play, whether your a fan of the genre of not, is Skate. At first glance it looks like a Tony Hawk clone, but the game is so much more than that. The game features a unique control system for a skateboarding game: all main controls are mapped the the right analog stick. This mechanic makes sure that the game is a lot more realistic to real life skateboarding and in some of it’s challenges, nearly as tough.

In the game you create your own character and start off as a street punk trying to get themselves noticed and become a pro-skater. Through various challenges you’ll meet new people, earn respect and get yourself in magazines and videos, eventually leading to your invite to X Games: the skateboarding olympics.

A whole city is mapped out in glorious HD graphics and the attention to details i if you will s fantastic, with even the cracks in the road being visible. Also that unusual control scheme works wonders and really sets this game apart from the rest. If you haven’t played it, you should.

The Wii
, as you may have noticed is the absolute dream for families everywhere that want to play games together. Simple controllers and an easy set means that you can be switched on and playing a fun game in under a minute and the variety of family friendly games is staggering. With Nintendo’s ethos for the Wii firmly set to be suitable for all ages from 5 to 105, it’s not a surprise that the third party publishers have followed the same suit.

Some of the best best games to play are Nintendo’s own efforts such as Wii Sports, Wii Fit
and the recently released Wii Music. Each is fun, bright and easy to get the hang of right away, using simple motion controls for almost every action. The good thing about these games and many of the other’s to be mentioned is that they are as much fun for adults and grandparents to play, even without the kids!

On the third party side of things, one of the best games comes from a somewhat unusual source. Stephen Speilberg, ace Hollywood director, has put his hand into creating on of the best family games on the market – Boom Blox. With a basic concept similar to Jenga but so much more, Boom Blox is easy to pick and play but as with most good games, is hard to master.

Another, more left field option, this time from Canadian developers Ubisoft, is Rayman Raving Rabbids. A fast paced, mini-game filled, over the top type of game featuring mad rabbits setting Rayman various challenges. All of these games are fun and again easy to pick up and play. Still with Rayman, the sequel to Raving Rabbids, Rayman Raving Rabbids 2, will make use of the Wii Balanced board bundled with Wii Fit and will be used in an ingenious way. Your butt. Yes, you control various mini-games with your butt in the same fast paced and fun environment. Obviously there is an option to just use the normal Wii remote controls, but I believe if you ask anyone, young or old if they’d like to control a game with their butt, the answer would be pretty unanimous.

For a more traditional family gaming experience, look no further than the LEGO game series. Already in it’s third edition, you now have the choice of either LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga, LEGO Indiana Jones or LEGO Batman. These games bring top class platform and exploration gameplay to fore, and whole movie scripts and scenes played out all in glorious LEGO brick. With three great franchises behind these games there’s a lot to love about them, from recreating the battle of Hoth in Star Wars to running away from “that” boulder in Indiana Jones. Be warned however, that as soon as you have put your kids to bed you’ll be up playing this yourself as the hundreds of unlockable characters and items will keep you coming back for more.

With that said, the Nintendo Wii is the platform of choice for families, and, if you are worried about a games content make sure to check the PEGI rating on the box, or ask one of those friendly game store clerks.
