I review Nintendo Wii video games for Coin-Op TV. Spyborgs (Capcom), Deca Sports 2 (Hudson Soft) and Dragonball: Revenge of King Piccolo (Namco Bandai). Plus cool video game schwag and fingerless gloves.

This recent episode of Coin-Op TV not only features Justin Chon from The Twilight Saga (trust me, this guy is wilder, wackier and funnier than the movie he stars in implies) and Turbo, but I offer my first game review video. I talk about and make comedic comments on 3 Wii video games.

Rob tells me there was lots of laughter in the live studio audience while the video showed and Justin gave me a shout-out live on the show. He even mentions wanting to do a video with me (Any ideas?) And then Rob sent me this awesome tweet from Justin Chon himself! Awesomepants! Thanks to Rob, Hailey, theStream and Justin for the Black Nerd love!

So the big buzz today in Nintendoland is the release of the new portable Nintendo DSi. And you assume I already have one. Because if you know me, you know I have a Nintendo fetish (like feet, but not as tickly). Well, you’re wrong! I don’t have one yet.

Now I LOVE Nintendo! I waited in GameStops until midnight for GameCube and Smash Bros. Brawl. I conned a friend into trading me their DS for an old laptop. And how can we forget Buy Mii a Wii?

But with all that said, I can’t jump the gun and get a DSi right away. Why? I feel I’m too old for it. Read the rest of my post, and leave a comment if you agree or disagree.

“The Dark One” is a regular visitor to Black Nerd LIVE and did the most awesome thing. He remixed “Buy Mii a Wii” using the original song and a track from Dance Dance Revolution Mario Mix. I couldn’t be more flattered. And on top of that, it’s done very well! Enjoy the tune set to video of the evolution of Nintendo video games.

Song parody of Paper Planes by M.I.A. (MIA) about the best cheat in video game history… the Konami Code! Guest stars Rob Welkner (Coin-Op TV) and Skeletor (STFComedy.com).

This week, it seems the thing to do is try to beat Nintendo at its own game.

No pun intended.

First, there’s the story that Xbox360 is lowering the price of its “Arcade” version to $199, a whole 50 bucks below the Nintendo Wii.

That’s great! Now you can afford to see all those games in high-definition and store all your game data on its big-@$$ hard drive.

Oh wait, the “Arcade” version doesn’t have HD or a big-@$$ hard drive…

…Awkward.
