OK so either this is totally fake or some kid just got his dad fired from Hudson.

The off camera voice claims that he discovered New Duck Hunton an unlabeled disk in his father's desk. He also claims that his father is an employee of "Hudson."

If this is legit it looks like a pretty hastily made update to everyone's favorite light gun game from the NES. Thing is - why would Hudson Soft be working on an updated version of a Nintendo title?

Anyway, it's hard to imagine an updated Duck Hunt (beside the game from Wii Play) mostly because the game isn't deep enough to really turn into a full next-gen title. If this is legit it's probably part of a library similar to Atari's Atari Classics [Evolved] - only based on NES classics.

I'm utterly shocked at this one.

Right now I refuse to let the stereotypes that are floating around in my head about gaming turn me off to the concept but I have to say it's a strange one. While browsing the list of upcoming Wii titles I stumbled up on Agatha Christie: And Then There Were None the game that appears to be the first in a series of Wii games based on Agatha Christie novels.

And Then There Were None, which you may also know as Ten Little Indians, has a plot familiar to anyone who's played the game Clue. "Ten people, each with a deadly secret, find themselves trapped on an island where they become the subjects of a cruel game played by a figure styling himself Mr. U. N. Owen ('Unknown')."

Of all the stories this is probably the most easily ported to interactive media and after the Lovecraft based game Call of Cthulhu we know a game based on a novel isn't an impossible feat.

Agatha Christie: And Then There Were None is being published by The Adventure Company and is due out in early January.

Admittedly I never got a chance to play the original Sega Saturn game Nights into Dreams. While I'm familiar with the game I honestly don't know much about the gameplay or the story - I do know that NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams is one of the most anticipated games left in 2007 though.

While I may not know much about the game it's certainly worth mentioning that NiGHTS sure to be one of the most graphically pleasing games on the Wii and it'll definitely be a family friendly holiday gift. NiGHTS will be available December 18th.

If you've ever looked into a Digital Whiteboard or large writing tablet for your PC you've probably seen that they tend to be extremely expensive and often end up outside of the average buyer's price range. While not a complete replacement for one of these high-end boards one enterprising Wiimote hacker has come up with a pretty interesting alternative that can be put together for under $100.

This Wiimote based whiteboard can track upto four points and offers some pretty interesting versatility. Check out the video (after the jump) for a closer look.

This isn't really gaming news so much as a heads up for Nintendo Fanboys. If you're using iGoogle themes you might get a kick out of a new third party gadget that lets you create your own custom themes. While the gadget lets you create your own themes Google Operating System points out that a few gadgets are bundled with it.

Drawbacks? Because it's a third party gadget and requires inlining you risk opening up the information that's on any tabs which hold the gadget.
