Nintendo Wii Console Now Cheaper in Canada

After seeing ads from Wal-Mart and Toys'R'Us, both announcing the Nintendo Wii Console at a discount price, it's now official: the Nintendo Wii Console will have a new cheaper price here in Canada. Nintendo officially announced that his Wii Console, coming with a Wii Remote, a Nunchuk and the game Wii Sports, will be sold at CA$ 219,99 starting from today, September 27th, 2009! IT's sixty dollars less than the previous Nintendo Wii price, at $279,99! Now you'll have no excuses to don't own a Nintendo Wii for yourself, your family and, more importantly, your visitors! ;)

Wii Sports Resort released in Canada stores

Wii Sports Resort releases today (Sunday) in Canada and if you have a Wii system, run (don’t walk) down to your local game vendor and pick up a copy. Many people I know consider the console pack-in Wii Sports title to still be one of the best around for family friendly pick-up and play fun. Wii Sports Resort takes that style of game and kicks it up another level with even more games and options as well as incorporating the new MotionPlus attachment for even better control. If you had any interest at all in the original Wii Sports, you owe it to yourself (and your family) to check out Wii Sports Resort. I’ve had the pleasure to take the game through its paces in the past week. It has dominated my limited play time and I believe it will be my go-to game for weeks to come.


Kid Factor: Very little to object to here, and the wealth of games mean there is something for everyone. Hardcore gamers will probably pursue a high skill ranking and try to collect all the stamps while less intense gamers will sample all the games and find a few they like the best. Controls on several games are easy enough for even the youngest players to mess around with, but still other games have an appeal for a slightly older audience. Since game information is saved according to players’ Mii characters, multiple players within the same family don’t have to worry about overlapping save games. More competitive families can even use the recorded high scores as a bit of a challenge.

Maybe you know about Gamefly, the website where you can rent Nintendo Wii games online and have them delivered at no cost at home? I always thought it would have been great to rent my Wii games online but the thing is that they only work in USA! Too bad for us :( And sure enough, they quickly become very popular south of the border.

But now, we finally have someone who offer the exact same service here in Canada! Finally! I was so excited the first time I heard about Game Access that I almost flipped out! They have nothing at my local video games retailers! So I tried them and boy I was amazed by their services! GameAccess.ca had almost all the latest games, shipped fast with prepaid return envelops, great! Renting video games online is amazing: it's like having unlimited games for pennies a day! :D This is way more cheap than buying all these finished-in-three-hours games!

Anyway, you can try them free in Canada - with credit card verification ;) - and I even have some coupon codes for you: instead of getting only 10 days of free trial, get 15 days! This way you can have a better idea of if you should pay for GameAccess or not. Just enter this code in the signup process to get your 15 days of free trail:

The Conduit: the best Nintendo Wii Multiplayer Game Yet?

Well, maybe Nintendo finally have that "best multiplayer" game for the Wii, and it is not too late!! Seriously, the first reviews for The Conduit all seems to agreed on this: The Conduit for Wii is really a great multiplayer game. And an "A" on average consumer rating almost everywhere tend to confirm this!

Get The Conduit for Wii for less than CDN $50: The Source Gaming!

The Conduit for Wii Review - 1up (excerpt):

With no real online shooter competition on the Wii, just having the ability to hop into a game with up to 12 players online would have been great. But High Voltage went ahead and built out a complete multiplayer suite. The clean matchmaking system takes only a couple of clicks to get into a group and once there it lets everyone have a voice in setting up the game through a slick voting system that lets everyone have a say on the rules, available weapons, and map selection. Team modes fit the pace of play best but suffer from the lack of communication options other than the uncommon Wii Speak peripheral.

Online may come off a little crude by modern standards, but its raw, run-and-shoot action taps a nostalgic sense from back in the early days of playing PC shooters online. In the heat of this action, The Conduit comes closest to realizing its aspirations to become the first epic shooter for the Wii.

Read the whole 1up The Conduit Review here

If you have been desperately searching for a competitive online shooter with robust options, The Conduit will be a near permanent fixture in your motion-sensing console. While it's not up to the experiences offered on the more advanced Xbox 360 or PS3, The Conduit is easily the best online shooter on Wii. As the saying goes, "In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king."

Quebec City in Guitar Hero Smash Hits last stage

If you ask yourself where is that last stage in Guitar Hero Smash Hits, well it's the famous Chateau Frontenac in Quebec City! As you may know, the development team, Beenox, is from Quebec City and they thought it would be nice to include the town in the game.

So, the final stage take place on St.Lawrence River, on a gigantic flotting scene made of Old Quebec Fortifying Doors. You can see the Chateau Frontenac, the Quebec bridge, and the crowd is actually on barges.

Now, I know what you're thinking: why not make a big Guitar Hero convention party night in the real Chateau Frontenac? That would be great!

Wii Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 Bundle Reviews

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 for Wii is the definitive golf game. It's filled to the top with content, sports spectacular controls enhanced by MotionPlus, and includes great Disc Golf and online modes. Seriously, this is an amazing package made all the better by the peripheral pack- in. Just as impressive, though, is that this year's effort is so intuitively enjoyable that it has, in my experience, transcended the golf category altogether to become one of those rare Wii games that I will confidently recommend to anybody. Wii Sports, Wii Fit, Boom Blox and now Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 -- these are all games that are spectacular because of the very technology that makes Wii great. Like Wii Sports, Woods 10 could not be made as well for any other system. Get out there and support this excellent sequel -- a standout effort that will surely be in competition for sports game of the year. (Read the complete IGN review here)

With the addition of MotionPlus, Woods 10 on the Wii is a fantastic golfing videogame, besting its console counterparts because of its control options, extra courses, party game modes, and Frolf. Not to mention, it's casual friendly for anyone to play, but with enough difficulty options for the hardcore to stay interested. It's almost hard to imagine it getting better than this for the foreseeable future. (Read the complete 1up review here)
