(via Nintendo Wii Fanboy) - Filed under: NewsYes, the localized version of Milestone's Ultimate Shooting Collection may have generic boxart (seriously, compare this to the Japanese box and weep), but we still want the game badly.Unfortunately, we're going to have to wait. Previously, the game was scheduled to come out on November 11th, but as it isn't in our homes right now, we had to assume it had slipped.

(via Nintendo Wii Fanboy) - Filed under: Video Hey, look! It's an offbeat action/puzzler all about your quest to spray everything with various liquids! You might think we've been here before (uh, except for the spraying), and you might be right. Not that this means we're making any predictions about the fate of Tecmo's SPRay.

Cooking Mama vs. Regular Mama
(via Nintendo Wii Fanboy) - Filed under: Video We're so pleased to present this upbeat, non-disgusting trailer for Cooking Mama: World Kitchen. However, even this innocuous "As Seen on TV" style video is not without controversy: certain statements are made regarding your mama. Specifically, her ability to cook, contrasting with the abilities of the game's fake cartoon mama.

Mario Tennis: How to Play on Wii
(via Nintendo Wii Fanboy) - Filed under: News, ImportsWe didn't really need help to figure out that Play on Wii Mario Tennis GC (or Mario Power Tennis, as Camelot's mascot tennis game is known over here) would use Wiimote motion controls, since that is, like one hundred percent of the point of the Play on Wii series (and Wii tennis games, for that matter).

Born for Wii: Cubivore
(via Nintendo Wii Fanboy) - Filed under: Born for WiiSome games are a little out there. You've got your No More Heroes brand of weirdness, where collecting coconuts is as commonplace as mass murder and sexual innuendo. On another level, there's Katamari Damacy, where rolling entire cities into a ball is a perfectly acceptable way to repair the cosmos.

See, the sensor bar kind of limits the scope of the Wiimote's ability to work in 3D spaces.

Castlevania Judgment launch trailer is too effective
(via Nintendo Wii Fanboy) - Filed under: VideoWarning: this trailer for Castlevania Judgment, out this week, may have the unexpected side effect of making you want to play Castlevania Judgment. Until now, we've been insulated by our Castlevania fandom -- we love Castlevania so much that it's painful to see it as an anime-style 3D brawler/fighter with silly character designs (Eric Lecarde doesn't just look like a little boy -- he is a little boy for some reason).
