iPhone NESynth Application retros your Ears
There is countless weird and useless applications on the iPhone, and while this one might not be a useful application; I feel I would be using it the most.
Store exclusives and Limited edition Bakugan
Toys R Us, a company that has no shame about slathering its name on any exclusive it can get its hands on. Has picked up Bakugan for the DS. The limited edition Bakugan DS game comes with a special collectors ball, and you can pick that up at any retailer selling the game; yet Toys R Us is selling a copy that has extra ‘creatures’ that aren’t in the other copies. Which is cool an...
Nintendo blames lack of games, not immovable console price, for declining Wii sales
The Wii currently holds the record for being the first console to last three years without a price drop. At least that what’s the clerk at GameStop told me, so it’s gotta be true! So just how long will the record last? It seems like the company is shooting for at least four years, maybe even five, if recent comments from the company are to be believed. When asked at a “recent inv...

Youtube Tuesday – Nerdrap Entertaiment System

Monster Hunter Tri headed for Wii in 2010
Capcom just announced they are bringing over Monster Hunter Tri in 2010 to the European and American market. Monster Hunter is a major franchise in Japan and has sold off the charts, but hasn’t particularly done well in the US. While this is a was an awesome exclusive Nintendo managed to nab for the Japanese market, I’m unsure how its going to fare over here. Is anyone looking forward ...
%@#&!!!
Any pointers on how to beat that annoying, cheating “champion” girl in Wii Sports Resort table tennis? My neighbors are starting to complain about all the stomping and swearing emanating from my apartment at all hours of the day and night.
Epic Mickey rumors intensify, become less rumor-like
The unconfirmed Epic Mickey Wii exclusive we told you about last week is getting more real with each passing day. Earlier, we saw some concept art from Warren Spector’s Junction Point Studios that depicted classic Disney characters in a distinctly steampunk, definitely eerie setting. Now we have some more.
New Game Get dashes into the kitchen for pork chop sandwiches
Not a lot to get excited this week, except maybe G.I. Joe and the return of Virtual Console with Tecmo Bowl! (And I’m casting a sideways glance at M-rated WiiWare title Sexy Pokerâ„¢ … they trademarked “Sexy Poker”??) Hop on in for the full list, plus a ton of Rock Band DLC releasing this week.
Can’t Stop me Now, Havin’ such a Good Time!
“I just couldn’t stop playing when I picked it up.” -Vance Have you ever played a game where you couldn’t stop playing? Also, was Wii Sports Resort one of them?
TellTale Dev: iPhone more powerful than Wii? (Infendo: Not Exactly)
We all know that the Wii is the least powerful of today’s current generation home consoles, but TellTale developer “Yare” stated on company forums that Nintendo’s flagship console is less powerful than even the iPhone: Frame rate issues will probably get sorted out eventually, but keep in mind that the Wii is just not a powerful console. An iPhone is much more powerful than...
Another Chibi-Robo game in Japan!?
Not until I saw Blake’s post about the upcoming DS and Wii games did I know about a new Chibi-Robo game for the DS! The literal translation of its title is “Welcome Home Chibi-Robo! Happy, Rich Big Sweep!” and involves Chibi-Robo cleaning up around the home of daughter Jenny from the first game, who is all grown up with a son and dog. Apparently the notoriously harsh Famitsu gave...
