Our 10 Favorite Wii Exclusives



We Play Far Cry 3

By Joey Davidson |

Ah, welcome to the lush, picturesque and relaxing jungle that is Far Cry 3. The first stop on our tour today is a hang glider flight. We’ll follow that up with some silly pirates, a bear attack and the vicious spread of jungle ravaging fire.…



Flashback Friday: The Vic 20

By Sean P. Aune |

Did you know the Vic 20 was “the wonder computer of the 1980s?” I mean, it must have been, right? William Shatner said it enough times in this commercial. What I find so funny is that the Vic 20 and the Commodore 64 were on…


Flashback Friday: AOL

By Sean P. Aune |

It seems so innocent. Call in for a little floppy disk with software that would give you 10 hours of online access. Little did anyone know it would be the harbinger of an endless deluge of those disks and an ever growing number of free…


Buffalo Gear: Nintendo Wii U is Here

By Brandon Russell |

Nintendo’s Wii… was decent, and certainly had many highlights. But up to a certain point, Nintendo finally seemed to concede that yes, graphics do matter in a console war. One of the Wii’s biggest criticisms was its lack of HD support, always making it look…


Flashback Friday: Grand Theft Auto

By Sean P. Aune |

Lets kick it old school with the original Grand Theft Auto, shall we? You have to wonder if back in Oct. 1997 if anyone realized a gaming phenomenon was hitting the shelves in its infancy. Sure every game designer is hoping that the title they labored over…





Flashback Friday: Star Wars Gaming

By Sean P. Aune |

Star Wars has a long history in the world of video games, and the news that Disney has purchased Lucasfilm this week pretty much guarantees us a rich future of new gaming experiences to look forward to. As we look back, however, a lot of…



Flashback Friday: Windows 1.0

By Sean P. Aune |

It’s hard to believe that Windows 8 is finally here, and is there any better way of celebrating than looking back at a soundless slideshow of Windows 1.0 features? Nope. Considering the rate at which some software packages update these days, it’s hard to believe…







Flashback Friday: Mars

By Sean P. Aune |

We’ve been excitedly following the Mars Curiosity Rover mission here at TechnoBuffalo, but I’m one of the few staff members that is old enough to remember the first mission, and able to appreciate just how far our exploration of the red planet has come. Way…




Flashback Friday: Maps

By Sean P. Aune |

All of this talk of improving maps lately has made me think back to my family’s first GPS, and then it makes me think, “Yeah, iOS 6 Maps may suck, but at least it’s in color.” Our first GPS unit was a Garmin GPS V…




Flashback Friday: ColecoVision

By Sean P. Aune |

ColecoVision was where those of us who skipped the Atari 2600 usually started our console gaming lives. On this week’s episode of Tech on the Range I made a reference to the ColecoVision controllers, to which Jon Rettinger immediately joked that many of you were…
