The game's Power Cruising mode looks to have a couple of variations.A little unenthused about Wii Sports Resort after Nintendo’s lacklustre onstage presentation at E3?

http://www.wiiwii.tv —
New Super Mario Bros. Wii is currently getting rave previewsAfter a conference that all but alienated core gamers last year, E3 2009 was a much more exciting one for Nintendo’s loyal fans.

Struggling with that pixel-perfect leap? Help is at hand...It’s been mooted for a while, but Nintendo has finally confirmed it will be introducing a new help system to assist gamers when they’re stuck on a particularly difficult bit.Rather than video-based hints or walkthroughs or a DVD-style chapter-skip, however, players will simply be able to pause the action and select an option w
