Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Another Game Cube game has been given the

Wii treatment in Mario Power Tennis, the latest

in Nintendo’s New Play Control range. To a new

generation of gamers used to the intuitive and

effective controls of Wii Sports, Mario Power

Tennis ought to be a handsdown winner.

However, despite the magic of Mario and high-

energy action, Nintendo has failed to make the

control system anything like as good as it could

– or should – be. Were this a Virtual Console title,

I could forgive the sloppiness, but as a fairly

costly Wii game, it’s just not on.
