Slowly making my way through the throng of video game reporters exiting the 2010 Nintendo Media Summit‘s newsworthy opening presentation, I climbed the stairs to the third floor of the W Hotel in San Francisco, where Nintendo’s coveted hands-on gameplay demonstrations were just getting underway. Immediately, I saw a friendly face: Associate PR Manager David Young, clutching one of the brand-new DSi XL handhelds debuting March 28th. Seeing a chance to demo the new system and greet David at the same time, I moved closer — and found myself face to face, in more ways than one, with the hilarious DSiWare title PhotoDojo.

Wired hands-on with Super Mario Galaxy 2

Wired got the grubby mitts on Mario Galaxy 2 yesterday. Here’s what they had to say:

Galaxy 2 exists because the development team just didn’t stop coming up with ideas, thinking up enough new levels and concepts to justify a whole sequel. The two big new ideas this time around are the drill power-up, which lets Mario drill straight through a planet through to the other side, and Yoshi, he of the green skin, long tongue and varied powers.

For the full preview, including seven case studies, click here.

These Squeeballs need a good Home

These Squeeballs need a good Home

These little fellows have had a harsh life at the Squeeballs testing island. Many of you must be like ‘What is a Squeeball?”

Well a Squeeball is an animal that is apparently sold in stores as toys. Yet before they can be a toy they must go through a rigorous test to assure that they are top a top quality product. That means being grinded up in a meat grinder, being hit by a tennis racket into a mines, being propelled into a wall to paint pictures, and all sorts of nasty things. However, it seems that some of them managed to escape torture and escaped to my house in a crate sent by the nice people over at PDP. Hit the jump to see what else came in the crate.
