Yesterday atNintendo’s media summit, High Voltage COO Eric Nofsinger toldMTV MultiplayerthatThe Conduitwould utilize theWii MotionPlusandWiiSpeakaccessories. A few months ago whenwe spoke to designer Micah Skaritka, the decision to use the peripherals had yet to be made. From the interview: We’re hooking it [MotionPlus] up. We want to support it. Probably for this version of the game there’s not going to be a whole ton of really extensive use of the Wii MotionPlus....

When Brad asked all of us to send in pictures of our rooms last week, I was all too happy to oblige. His timing was perfect, after all: I had just finished unpacking from my move and everything was in pristine order (as seen above). Since I have far more stuff then I do shelf space — and my shelves are rather deep — every row of videogames, anime, and books have another row of media crammed behind them....

Hamza dropped a smoke bomb and fled through the back door again, leaving me to handle this post. Joke’s on him, since I get to write about his favorite game,Super Mario RPG. (Full image here, viaReddit.) We’re never going to get a high-def remake, are we?Instant sadness. We got another look at the increasingly slick-lookingAlice: Madness Returns, heard about some Lesbian Spider Queens, got juicy details onMass Effect 3(Garrus fanboys, unite), saw an unabashedly shameless trailer forDuke Nukem Forever, and more on 04/08/11....

The Dtoid Live 2 panel this year at PAX Prime was … something else. We have video of the entire panel which will be going up next week, but in the mean time, here are a variety of pictures from the hour of chaos. To sum things up, we had a dance battle with SEGA, got in a food fight with 2K Games forThe Darkness II, Tara Long kicked several people in the nuts and we threw hamburgers at the audience....

This week’s edition of The Great Retro Quiz! introduces the first everCharacter Examination. Instead of a quiz about a particular game (or wacky theme), the Character Examinations will test your knowledge of, big surprise, one specific videogamecharacter[/shocking revelation]. And how could I premiere this fun new twist by not focusing on arguably the most famous videogame character of all time,Mario? Did you know that Mario actually got Peach pregnant in the original ending forSuper Mario Bros....

This week’s Jimquisition was recorded in an apartment with busted air conditioning during a record-breaking heatwave. Yeah, that blazer was a mistake. Fortunately, the video doesn’t pick up the intense amounts of leaking salt water that was dripping from my fat face, so nobody knows. Unless I do something stupid like tell you all about it. Anyway, this week’s video is about casual gamers and how they’re smarter than you, even though we typically think of them as dumb, drooling pack animals who swallow any old crap if they’re told to....

Star Fox 64 Last week I mentioned I would dedicate the next two installments of The Memory Card to cool, surprising videogame moments in two genres not known for their strong stories or deep characters. Theoriginal postcentered on RTS games, specifically the exceptionalStarCraft. This week, the focus shifts toshooters. Shooters are great games, one of my favorite genres in fact, but they more often than not offer the player only basic narratives ([insert generic commander name] requests your help!...

CD Projekt RED’s sequel toThe Witcherhas been announced —The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings. The reveal was accompanied by an epic reveal trailer, which you’ll definitely want to check out after the jump. The trailer promising “dazzling state of the art visuals,” “captivating mature and non-linear storytelling,” and “dynamic combat with vast tactical capabilities.” So… like the first game, right? Based on what we’re shown in the trailer, it looks like the series’ lead Geralt is back, and given quite a makeover for the sequel....

Just look at the R2D2 you see there in the photo above for a second. Do you see that SNES cart sticking out of one of his ports? WHAT IS THIS GLORIOUS THING? Kotakuposted images today (ViaFort90) of this incredible droid which has a total of TEN consoles packed inside him. Yes. Ten. Owning this would officially make you like, one of the coolest people in the universe.

It had already dropped hints at New York Comic-Conlastyear, butTop Cow has confirmedat San Diego Comic-Con that a sequel to 2007’sThe Darknessvideogame is the works. Little information was revealed about the title, outside of the fact that it will be written by Paul Jenkins, who also wroteThe Darknessvideogame prequel comic book. As for who else will be involved, it’s hard to say. Rumor has it that the original game’s developer, Starbreeze Studios, won’t be returning for the sequel, busy working on at least two games for Electronic Arts....
