    Nintendo 3DS: Look who just innovated itself out of a paper bag!

    The beauty of the Internet is that it demands instant analysis of every single development to come out of Peoria. The Nintendo 3DS—out of Kyoto, which is not Peoria, I'm afraid—was announced overnight, time zone permitting. It will debut at E3 in June, and it will forever change the way you and I... do something. Something video game-related, methinks.

    You know you want to play Resident Evil in 3D

    Surely you've heard of Shinji Mikami, right? He's basically "the Resident Evil guy," and he's got 3D on the brain. He told Famitsu, that famous Japanese video game magazine, that he wants to disband his current studio (Straight Story) and form a new one, one for creators, by creators (as opposed to one by run by know-nothing businessmen). This new studio, in a perfect world, would create a 3D horror game.

    Finally an answer to the ages-old question: How much crossover is there between Resident Evil fans and Monopoly fans? Apparently enough for one enterprising individual named Nick “Neptune” Endean to dream up Monopoly: Resident Evil Edition.

  • Can we blame Nintendo’s profit drop on the lack of gamer’s games?

    Can we blame Nintendo’s profit drop on the lack of gamer’s games?

    It hasn't been the best couple of months for Nintendo. Profits were down for the six months leading up to September, which the company blames on the strong yen and the Wii's price cut. Net sales, too, were down, some 34.5 percent. Fair enough, and those reasons are likely to explain Nintendo's situation, but is there something else going on? I know Pat Buchanan, the older gentlemen that he is, always uses the phrase “the chickens have come home to roost,” and I think it's applicable here. Perhaps Nintendo's strategy of selling the Wii to the “casual” crowd (housewives and the like, to simplify this) has finally run out of gas?

    So yeah, the PS3 motion controller will be available this Springtime, and the first “big” games to make use of it will be Resident Evil 5 and LittleBigPlanet. High Velocity Bowling will also use the controller, and it sounds absolutely thrilling.

    Tokyo Game Show: How Resident Evil 5 looks on an Alienware PC (video)

    Alienware announced yesterday they will “shake the gaming world to its foundation” at the Tokyo Game Show 2009. Well, the show started today, I went there and played Resident Evil 5 (and a bunch of other titles, for example Streetfighter 4) on Alienware hardware. I'm not sure if the gaming world is really that different when compared to yesterday, but all the games did look damn impressive on the Alienware notebooks and desktop computers.

    Tokyo Game Show: First impressions and a look at Sony’s and Ubisoft’s booth

    I just came back from this year's Tokyo Game Show and must say I am pretty disappointed with the show this year. There were hardly any highlights, Sony didn't show their motion controller anywhere after the announcement during their keynote (picture of the device below/more info later) and staff members often didn't let me shoot any pictures or videos (which I did anyway if there was the chance). Here are some pictures from two booths of the show. The picture on the left shows the final event of the first day (Sunday is the final day). More material from the Tokyo Game Show follows today and tomorrow.
