That time Nintendo made a game about Googling
Nintendo have developed some pretty weird games before - Splatoon, Kid Icarus Uprising, Nintendogs - but one of the weirdest is And-Kensaku for the Wii, a game all about Googling. Players had to guess which search terms were more popular out of a list, build a staircase with search results, and even stop a bomb from exploding using search results. So, join me for a brief look at how this unique and bizarre game came to be!
