Where has all the good video game music gone?
It’s not often one comes across good original video game music. The last memorable (and new) score I think I heard was Shadow of the Colossus from 2005… until today. Enter my new favorite (what I think is) orignal game music; the Dinner Dash: Sizzle & Serve theme for DS. While I can’t speak for the game (out tomorrow, preview here, and it sounds cool), the music is just bangi...
See a slew of Nintendo Power covers
Just days after rumors that Nintendo Power may get the axe, a kind gentlemen on Flickr has uploaded about 50 Nintendo Power covers from years past. Click on through to take a trip down memory lane. My favorite from the batch is at your right.
Massive Ninty game updates (Metroid, Strikers, Smash Bros.)!
Got a handful of Ninty game updates for you on this fine Teusday. First up. New Metroid Prime 3 screens. We normally don’t post screenshots, but hey, it’s Metroid! Next up, got a UK advert for the fun looking Mario Strikers. I’ve said it a thousand times, but previews have only good things to say about this game. Hopefully online play delivers as well. And lastly, Super Smash Bro...
Old-gen consoles easily outselling next-gen
Due to my love for oversimplified graphs, I give to you old-gen hardware sales compared to next-gen hardware sales in delicious pie graph form. Nintendo should be sending me checks for all this market research I’m doing in support of their strategy. Data was taken from the NPD, North America’s hardware bean counter. Definitions are as follows: Old-gen category includes all reported sys...
Better Website?
Being the web nerd that I am, I gotta ask: who has the better website? Nintendo Xbox Playstation If this completely bores you, please skip to next post.
Poll – What hardware will Nintendo release next?
DS and Wii sales are strong and a lot of great titles are on the release schedule. Even as the DS Lite and Wii were released, rumors began circulating about the next-next-gen from Nintendo. Will the DS replace the GameBoy line? Will Nintendo keep up their roof with a third pillar? Is there yet another home console on the horizon? This week, we want to know: {democracy:3} If you think the Big N is ...
Monday thoughts: Why do you love Nintendo?
So this will be my first in a weekly series of columns on various topics. For the first edition I pose a simple question with an answer that might not come to you so easily. Its Monday morning. You’ve already scoured the inter-tube looking for a listing of the VC releases this week. You’ve called Game/stop/crazy/ware to see if any early DS titles have been released. You’ve adjust...

Metroid Prime 3 coming August 20!
Nintendo just dated a slew of games for this summer and beyond. The biggest one? Metroid Prime 3 hitting Wii on August 20 (assuming Nintendo doesn’t delay it)! This news is so good I could actually kiss Perrin Kaplan upon hearing. Other notables include Mario Strikers Charged (which I’ve heard is insanely fun) and Brain Age 2 for DS. Read on for the full list of gaming goodies.
