Sega says Nintendo 3DS will bring back mature gamers. But let’s not confuse ‘mature’ games with ‘violent’ games.
Posted on June 23, 2010 | No CommentsSega believes the Nintendo 3DS could be just the thing to win back the hearts and minds of older, more mature gamers, the implication being that your average 20-something doesn't want to play Mario Does His Taxes 8. Games like House of the Dead and Saint's Row were two of the game that Sega referred to in a recent interview.

If Nintendo ‘won’ E3 then where does that leave Apple?
Posted on June 22, 2010 | No CommentsThere were two big pieces of news at E3 last week: the ceaseless march toward 3D gaming and the unrelenting encroachment of motion control upon our lives. I honestly couldn't give a toss about 3D gaming because if I wanted 3D entertainment I'd talk to a human being. Same thing with motion control: it doesn't bother me because I want nothing to do with it (outside of dancing the Macarena when asked to “freestyle”). It'd be like getting angry because it's hot on Venus: what? Exactly. One thing I did notice: what happened to all of that hubbub about “Apple being the new Nintendo”?

Nintendo 3DS graphics chipset revealed
Posted on June 21, 2010 | No Comments
While Nintendo is normally very closed-mouthed about the actual hardware used in their systems, there has been some news recently about the graphics chipset used in the 3DS. You might be surprised to find out that it's not your typical NVIDIA Tegra, but instead some new PICA200 chip (yes, PICA, hold your giggles to the end please).

The top five unanswered questions about the Nintendo 3DS
Posted on June 15, 2010 | No Comments
The Nintendo 3DS is real -- we know that. The 3D works well -- we know that, too. But that's where our 3DS knowledge stops. Nintendo isn't talking-up 3DS details right now and we have so many questions about the handheld 3D gaming.

Hands-on: 3DS hardware and gaming impressions
Posted on June 15, 2010 | No CommentsWe got our hands on the 3DS this morning at Nintendo’s press conference, but it wasn’t exactly a proper hands-on. It was just a simple demo to basically show that it works. Well, I just waited in a huge line that snaked around Nintendo’s E3 booth for over an hour to spend some quality time [...] -
Twitter reacts to Nintendo’s E3 press conference with love, revelry
Posted on June 15, 2010 | No CommentsWhat's the hottest story on Twitter right now? Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal in the World Cup? Nope. Brazil? Sorry. Work or shoot: Bryan Danielson and WWE? Nein. No, friends, the hottest story right now is the goings-on over at Nintendo. The company is on stage giving its E3 presentation, and people are sorta all over the place. Has Nintendo's fan service worked this time around?

Too much WWDC? There’s always this charming little video of kids acting out SMB
Posted on June 7, 2010 | No CommentsThere’s always a good number of readers who complain ruefully about WWDC days. It’s Apple this and Apple that, right? Well, how about some kids named Ryker and Raiden (!!?) pretending to be Mario and Luigi while their parents act out the roles of Goomba, Princess Peach, and Bowser? It’s 6 minutes long and you generally [...] -
The creator of Super Mario Brothers Crossover is a crazy man
Posted on May 29, 2010 | No CommentsMan alive. I don’t mind SMB Crossover, but the creator, Jay Pavlina reminds me of Vince Veneziani on a little too much Red Bull. Watch as the creator of the game plays the game, a meta picture-in-picture experience that’s like watching a hand draw itself. via Reddit -
Greenpeace says Nintendo is the worst company on Earth, tells Dell to clean up its act
Posted on May 26, 2010 | No CommentsGreenpeace's relentless march toward reminding us that we're killing the planet continues. The organization released its annual "Who's Green?" list yesterday, and Nokia and Sony Ericsson get A+ marks, while Lenovo and Nintendo are, apparently, the dregs of society. Also on the wrong side of Greenpeace: Dell. The Texas-based company found itself on the wrong end of a rather impressive Greenpeace action yesterday. Oh, dear...

Nintendo trademarks “3DS” among others
Posted on May 18, 2010 | No Comments
Backstory: A Nintendo suit said a while back that the company hasn't announced the official name yet for its upcoming handheld 3D gaming device. This of course suggests that 3DS isn't the official name.
Well, that might not be true if Nintendo's recent trademark filings have anything to say about it.

The Nintendo 3DS won’t be called the 3DS
Posted on May 11, 2010 | No Comments
This is strange. Apparently Nintendo has yet to announce the formal name of its upcoming portable 3D gaming device. That means the clever 3DS name we've come to know isn't the real thing. But seriously, is there a name better than 3DS seeing as it's a 3D version of the DS? Unless it's nothing like the DS...maybe this wasn't a fan-made mock-up after all.

Wii Controller Demo gets active, Android and Wiimote handle Donkey Kong on video
Posted on May 9, 2010 | No CommentsWe knew the Wii Controller Demo app (now known as "Wii Controller IME") was close to being able to interact with Android in a meaningful way, but we certainly didn't expect to see Average Joes playing Donkey Kong on their Nexus One devices this soon. Not that we're kvetching or anything -- and in fact, we'd argue that this landed at a perfect time for you hard-workin' Android owners to give this all a spin over the weekend. Jump on past the break for a look at the setup procedure as well as bona fide proof that a Wiimote and Android can indeed work together for the greater good. Mind those coconuts, though.

Apple is now Nintendo’s biggest problem
Posted on May 7, 2010 | No CommentsThe last time Nintendo took a big hit in profit, it resulted in the development of perhaps the most successful video game console of all time in the Wii. What's Nintendo's response going to be this time around? Yes, the big N has seen its profits drop from $3.03 billion to $2.48 billion—still a fair a bit of money perhaps to you and me, but cause for panic in the house that Mario built. While a traditional rival, Sony (with the PlayStation), was responsible for the previous rough patch, this time it's Apple. Will Nintendo allow the iPhone to push it around?
