Since the collective world’s mind was blown with the release of the Atari 2600 in 1977, video game controllers have seen quite the evolution. There have been good controllers, bad controllers, and some f*cking terrible controllers. Whose brilliant idea was it to put 12+ buttons on one controller? Who is responsible for the controller that we know today? These questions and more are answered in our anthology of video game controllers after the jump!

The Nintendo Wii sold almost 100 million units beating both the PlayStation 3 and XBox 360 in total sales across the world. Recently, Nintendo has announced that the follow-up to the Wii is going to be officially unveiled this coming June at the E3 Expo in Los Angeles. Details are slim at this point, but we’ve got just a few to whet your appetite. Read more after the jump!

Back in December, the Brothers Mario took back the Mushroom Kingdom from the crime lord Bowser and his Koopa Troop. Now, the brothers have some monkeys on their backs – quite literally! The Kong crime family, led by Donkey Kong, are moving in on the koopas’ turf, leaving a reluctant Bowser with only one option – getting help from the Brothers Mario. The monkey sh*t hits the fan after Mario kills Donkey’s nephew Diddy, driving everyone bananas (I swear, I’ll stop with the simian-related humor). Non-gaming folk might get a few laughs from this, but if you’re a Nintendo geek like me, you’re going to get giddy over the references to the game series and The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! This is a video you can’t miss!

Want to know how to make a video game junkie go ballistic and punch a hole into a brick wall, howling like an angry baboon the whole time? Just say “Navi” and watch the magic! In case you don’t know who Navi is, she was the nagging harpy – I mean – fairy sidekick of Link from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time that would get his attention with “Hey, listen,” and provide him hints to solving a puzzle or defeating a boss.

But one website has gone above and beyond to let gamers relive these cherished moments of LCD gaming bliss!

It’s happened to every college guy. You’re out drinking, you meet a nice girl, things are going great, and you decide to head back to her place because she “has Nintendo Wii and wants to beat you in bowling.” On the way to her apartment you’re thinking that maybe tonight is the night to try that new move you saw on FHM’s Kama Sutra, until you walk in the front door and find yourself staring into the eyes of the anti-Christ herself: the cock-blocking roommate.

The summer blockbusters just keep on rolling, as mega developers such as EA and Konami are poised to drop another wave of addictive releases into gamers’ open arms. Madden ’11 is at the head of the pack, but the anticipated sequel to Mafia, and a new version of Metroid for the Wii are no slouch either. Cash in a savings bond, because it’s time to go shopping again.

Ever find yourself wishing your Wii did more than bring you Nintendo’s finest titles? It’s not quite the media hub that is the Xbox or PS3, what with the lack of a hard drive–but you can change that. Oh, yes. You can make your Wii into something halfway useful as a non-gaming device with a few, uh.. modifications.
