Sgt. Pepper Headed to the Rock Band Music Store Tomorrow

GeekSugar — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 03:50:21 -0800

September was a big month for The Beatles in the gaming world when The Beatles Rock Band hit the market. I went crazy over it during a sneak peek at E3, and was not disappointed when I got my own copy. Although The Beatles have not always been so chummy with tech, times are a-changing as Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band makes its way to The Beatles: Rock Band music store tomorrow for your Xbox 360 and Wii systems, and will be available on your PS3 on Nov. 19!

Although I'd love to, I can't really throw down for their special edition digital collection, so I'm stoked at least to get to play along on one of my favorite games. To see how much each track from the album will set you back, just read more.

Individual singles from the record like "When I'm Sixty-Four" and "Lovely Rita" can be purchased for $1.99 each (or 160 Microsoft Points on your Xbox), while the entire album can be downloaded for $13.50 (1080 Microsoft Points). Wii owners can rock out with The Beatles tomorrow as well, but you'll be paying $2 a pop or 200 Wii Points for the tracks.

GeekSugar — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 10:31:35 -0700

Want to stock up on some Nintendo Wii video games before the holidays? Either to give as gifts or to play when guests come over? Well, for the next week at Target, when you buy any two Wii games for $50, you can get the third game for free.

With more than 80 games to choose from, you are guaranteed to find all of your favorites - including classics like Wii Fit, Mario Kart, and The Beatles: Rock Band.

I'm usually more of a buy one, get one free kinda girl, but in this case, picking out three new games is more fun than work!

Project Runway Coming to the Wii

GeekSugar — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 10:05:19 -0700

Can't get enough Project Runway? You're in luck! Get ready to "make it work" in your living room: the hit reality series will soon be coming to a Nintendo Wii near you. Variety reports that the game will follow the same format as the show, with players competing as fashion designers. You'll be able to design clothes and accessories for models, style their hair and makeup, and then strut your stuff on the catwalk yourself using the Wii balance board.

Both host Heidi Klum and her fashion-expert sidekick Tim Gunn are expected to be involved in the game, but no further details have been released. The game won't hit stores until next year, but I'm sure it'll be completely fierce!

WaSaBi Designer Console Skins: Love or Leave?

GeekSugar — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 09:05:48 -0700

I caught these designer console skins from WaSaBi while cruising the merch area at this year's Tokyo Game Show, and spent about ten minutes trying to decide on whether or not to splurge. I'm kind of loving the cherry blossom theme on the right, but I can't tell if it would take away from the natural and minimalist feel of the Wii, and/or clash with the rest of my decor. The other designs are pretty sweet too but still, I've never been one to mod my consoles, even if it's with a $20 skin. Help me decide - what do you think?

How to Watch Hulu Videos on Your Nintendo Wii

GeekSugar — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 10:14:15 -0700

Since most of you are fans of the online video streaming site Hulu, you may be interested in knowing that it's possible to watch some of your favorite Hulu TV shows or movies on your television using your Wii. All you need is an Internet connection, a Wii (which just so happened to go on sale today!), a PC computer (sorry Mac-heads) and PlayOn (this video will show you how to download it for free). Overall, a pretty simple way to watch Hulu content on your TV!

TGS 2009: Nintendo Announces Wii Price Drop

GeekSugar — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 09:15:59 -0700

You may not be able to get your hands on the black Wii console like the Japanese - I got a chance to see it up close while in Japan this week and can attest to its sexiness - but soon you can get yourself a regular ol' white one for a little less dough.

Announced at this year's Tokyo Game Show, the Wii will be available for $200 starting this Sunday. Perfect timing for the holiday shopping season (and assumed holiday shortage), Nintendo is aligning itself with the entry-level Xbox 360, which while coming in at the same price, boasts lots more features (like Netflix streaming for example). So although the Wii has been one tough cookie to find on store shelves, it's obvious that Nintendo wants to stay competitive. Or maybe there's a new model coming? I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
