USB-enabled NES controllers will turn you into a bigger pirate and open your eyes to great homebrew games
Computer emulators and ROM games are fun for about 10 seconds. After that, you realize how sucky they are without official controllers. Enter Infinite NES Lives, a one man shop that hacks console controllers to work with USB and/or Wii. Other DIY methods and USB vendors exist, but Paul Molloy from Infinite NES prides himself on only using original controllers. The result? So good, you’ll l...
Tetsuya Nomura says Kingdom Hearts 3DS is 40-50 percent done
Kingdom Hearts 3D (Dream Drop Distance) was one of the first titles announced along side the 3DS when Nintendo lifted the curtains last summer. In an interview with Famitsu, Kingdom Hearts director and character designer Tetsuya Nomura reveals that the 3DS title is currently 40-50 percent complete. Not much about the title is known at present, at Nomura was very coy with Famitsu giving vague hints...

Nintendo 3DS to receive Nintendo Video, Netflix
One of the most interesting features of the 3DS is its ability to play 3D video content. In the US, the only 3D video content to be found was a trailer for Green Lantern and a video feature jumping dogs. That is all about to change.
What Nintendo purchase do you regret most?
I’m sure I got burned in the 8, 16, and 32-bit days. But the one Nintendo game I most regret buying was Star Fox Adventures Assault for GameCube. Before plopping down for it, I hadn’t bought a Star Fox game game since the original gangster version for SNES. I thought it would similarly be fun. It wasn’t. It sucked. It was obviously intended for a much younger audience. $50’gon...
The Legend of Zelda: Portal gun edition
Portal is undoubtedly one of the most innovative titles to come along this generation, but imagine if the portal gun was an item in the next Zelda title. That’s exactly what the fine folks Dorkly have done, giving Link the power of portals with hilarious results. I have always wanted to take my favorite items from certain franchises into others, and what better place to start than with the p...

Rumor: Operation Rainfall already a success, Xenoblade NTSC localization complete
According to sources who wish to remain anonymous (don’t they all) localization of Xenoblade for the US was completed just before this year’s E3. The folks over at Operation Rainfall have stated on their blog that Xenoblade is ready for NTSC territories, while the Last Story localization is well underway. This news would be a huge boon for Wii owners looking to milk their little white...
Satoru Iwata has been listening, is not pleased with lack of games on Wii
It?s funny how much Nintendo has changed in the last decade. For the first time in its history, Nintendo was no longer the market leader as the Sony Playstation had broken onto the scene and easily ran away with the lion?s share of the console market. The Playstation 2 was beginning to pick up where its predecessor left off, and Nintendo was itself readying its own answer in the Gamecube.
Concept designs of Infendo’s unreleased console leaked to internet
In a corporate debacle of elephantine proportions, images of Infendo’s unreleased 2D console controller leaked to the internet today, brining the information superhighway to its knees. “Who knew there was this much interest in the horse and buggy of console gaming,” said world wide web creator Tim Berners-Lee, in reaction to the event. “Anyways, isn’t this thing like ...
