Looking for the perfect present to give to your friends, but don't want to spend a lot of money? Nintendo has just released the perfect solution to your gift giving needs. You can now send your friends Virtual Console games instantly over the internet. This means for a few dollars, you can give the fun of Super Mario Bros or  any other game!

This is a great feature that will be used frequently especially before the holidays. Virtual Console games are fun because you played them when you were younger. The graphics may be worse, but the game play is still there in many old school games. This is something everyone should get into because it's so easy and fun to do it!

 
 

It looks like there is a new buzz in Japan around the Wii Fit. Nintendo Wii had been doing well since the launch buy the last few months saw the console sales slowing down. The PS3 was actually outselling the Nintendo Wii in Japan for a couple of weeks. The situation has completely changed with the release of the Wii Fit.

The Wii Fit is a platform where people can use their feet in pressure sensitive ways to respond to a certain game. This of course leads a great lower body workout. This complements the existing Wii remote really well because the Wii remote really works your upper body with wild arm swinging. The question now is how well will the Wii Fit do in the US.

 
 

If you don't know, Manhunt 2 has been under a ton of controversy lately. The ESRB is the board that gives games the ratings to make sure kids don't buy violent games. The UK has a similar service called the BBFC. The only problem is that the BBFC has still not approved Manhunt 2 for sale.

They believed even the fixes that were made to Manhunt 2 were insufficient despite the ESRB in the USA allowing it. The strange thing is that the BBFC has claimed there isn't a definitive link between violence and games, which makes this even more puzzling.

They do however believe the subject needs more research before they can make a decision. All Rockstar understands is they are losing a ton of money on this and also gaining a ton of publicity. I wonder if its cancelling out.

 
 

The Nintendo Wii Zapper has finally been released. It is basically a plastic contraption that holds the Wii remote and the nunchuk in a way that makes it look like a gun. The Wii Zapper comes with Link's Crossbow training which stars Link where he shoots down villains in numerous mini games. The Zapper also works well with any shooter type of game like Ghost Squad, which also recently came out.

The Wii Zapper can be found for only $20-25, but it is now sold out everywhere. You will have a tough time trying to find one and may be as hard to find as the Nintendo Wii console. Be sure to check out the retails stores around you because that may be your best bet. It is an outstanding value because you get the free game as well. Good luck!

 
 

If you haven't already noticed, Black Friday is here which means there are a million good deals coming. One of these deals is Super Mario Galaxy which just recently sold 500k in the first week. This is an amazing game that everyone should pick up. Toys R Us will be selling it for $35 which is a huge discount from $50 on a brand new game.

Super Mario Galaxy has been getting outstanding review all over the gaming sites and has been recently ranked the best game ever beating out the old Zelda: Ocarina of Time. This game is incredibly fun and should be in any household that has the Nintendo Wii.

 
 

It seems like Super Mario Galaxy has completely redeemed itself because it has now sold over 500k in the 1st for the US. This is a far larger number than the 130K for the Japanese 1st week. The US is much larger, but they are still impressive figures. It is likely Super Mario Galaxy will continue selling like hotcakes throughout the holidays.

Super Mario Galaxy has been getting rave reviews from all the major gaming sites and for good reason too. It is the next FULL sequel to the Super Mario series. The last one happened for the Nintendo 64 which was called Super Mario 64, and keep in mind that this was 11 years ago.

Super Mario Galaxy selling is a good sign that people aren't just buying Nintendo Wii for the Wii Sports games. We'll start to see better adventure games coming out soon.
