New Theme That Doesn't Suck And A Few Fixes And Tweaks!



Today we've implemented another small site update, bringing our current version of our website to V.6.0.3! So what's new you ask? Well here's a rundown of the changes and new features that have gone live on our website!

Major Changes.

It's Shulk Time!



We have teamed up with our local Gamestop located at Red Mountain Plaza in Apache Junction Arizona to give one lucky member of our community a Shulk Amiibo! To enter you must be a resident of the United States and be over 13 years of age.

Just tell us why you want a Shulk Amiibo and our favorite post will be chosen on March 1st! That member will then receive a brand new...

Hyrule Champions Vs. Pokemon Masters!



Today's match-up is the final one of the first round of our GoTY 2014 User's Choice Awards and the games that you'll be voting on are none other than Hyrule Warriors and Pokemon Omega Ruby And Alpha Sapphire! Only one of these two games can advance to the semifinals and which one advances is completely up to you! Our poll will be open through 11:45 PM on 01/13/15.

Fantasy Vs. Sassyness!



So far during the first two matches of our competition, Shovel Knight bested Shantae And The Pirate's Curse and Super Smash Bros. 4 defeated the mighty Mario Kart 8 both will face each other during the first match of the semifinal round! The third match of round 1 is a battle between Fantasy Life (3DS) and Bayonetta 2 (Wii U) which will advance to the semifinals? Only you our...

The battle of the heavy-hitters!



During the first match Shovel Knight beat Shantae And The Pirate's Curse 7 votes to 3 and has moved on to the second round of our GoTY User's Choice Awards! Today's match-up is going to likely be a very close race as both games are from extremely popular first party Nintendo franchises! Those games are Mario Kart 8 (Wii U) vs. Super Smash Bros. 4 (3DS/Wii U).

Which game's the best? You Decide!



This year we're changing up the way our Game of The Year Awards are chosen! Instead of our staff choosing the winners, you our loyal members get to choose this time around! Everyday from now through January 3rd we'll open a poll and let you determine which games will move to the next round and eventually which game is crowned the GoTY!

Today's round one...

Season's Greetings From Our Crew!



Today is a day that families get together sharing presents, eating amazingly scrumptious food, and spread holiday cheer to everyone they know! It's also a time when most people aren't online and are instead trying out their new doodads and knickknacks and spending time with their family watching holiday movies and playing games with each other.

We hope that...

You Could Win Big!



We're holding a survey from now until 11:45 PM on December 24th and one lucky participant will win a free download code for the Wii U eshop RPG Alphadia Genesis!

Time To Gobble Up A Gobbler Once Again!



Today is a day to spend with your family, playing together, eating a great holiday meal, and seeing distant family members that you rarely have the opportunity to see!

Wii Are Back In Action!



As many of you might have noticed WiiWareWave was down off and on during the weekend and activity dropped greatly as a result. As the owner and webmaster of WiiWareWave I must apologize for taking so long to deal with the issue, but I was feeling a bit under the weather this weekend and didn't even visit the site and as a result many members have been inconvenienced...

A World of Steam VS. The Fall!



During the month of August we saw many terrific games released especially on the Wii U eshop and two games stood above the rest! Those games were SteamWorld Dig and The Fall. And though both games received equally impressive scores during our reviews of the games we could only choose one as the GoTM to avoid two ties in a row! So we deliberated and finally...
