Like UnlikeFiled in: Game ConsolesNintendoWii
Sure, we knew it was coming, but now Hulu Plus has officially arrived for the Nintendo Wii, letting you stream "current-season hit TV shows such as...

We know, you're already caught up on all that New Girl action, but The Biggest Loser's latest win will look even juicier in gorgeous 480p SD resolution, so head on over to the colorful Wii Shop Channel to get your $7.99 monthly Hulu fix. Or, if you're not keen on paying for your teevee, you can download a two-week free trial of the service anytime within the first month of availability. And what about that 3DS version? You'll need to wait until "later this year," unfort...

Nintendo Wii still going strong, sales records smashed
Like UnlikeFiled in: Game ConsolesNintendoWii

Like UnlikeFiled in: Game ConsolesNintendoWii
The Nintendo Wii’s position as the number one casual gaming console went undisputed until the arrival of Xbox Kinect last year. But now Ninty’s top boss reckons that the whole concept of the best-selling console being for casual gamers was a “misunderstanding”. Seems hard to believe, right? Read on and find out just what he had to say.
Satoru Iwata wasn’t shy in telling investors during a conference call about where Nintendo went wrong in the way it marketed the Wii, and to an extent the DS. “There was a misunderstanding that Nintendo was dedicated to [casual] games at some stage of the lifespans of the Wii and the Nintendo DS,” he said.

Hulu Plus coming to 3DS and Wii, handheld getting 3D video capture
Like UnlikeFiled in: Game ConsolesNintendoWii3DS
Rejoice Nintendo fans, Hulu Plus is coming to your console of choice... provided you're up on the latest in Nintendo hardware. Both the Wii and 3DS will be getting access to the streaming service's vast archives of TV shows and movies some time before the year is out. Though, you shouldn't expect to see the Galactica popping out of your portable -- this is a strictly 2D affair. A software update coming at the end of November will also deliver the ability to record 3D video with the Nintendo handheld (up to ten minutes) or even stitch together stereoscopic images for stop motion animation that jumps out of the tiny screen at you. With both Hulu and Netflix in tow, as well as the ability to cr...
