Why does Nintendo limit how much of certain games that you can enjoy each day?
One of the things that really nags at me about the 3DS is how I have to keep going back to the included games after either a period of time, after earning some more coins, or whatever, to be able to fully enjoy them. I’m specifically thinking about the limit on how many coins I can earn in one day for walking. I took a fairly short walk to the mall, around the stores, and home. I already max...
Prediction – 3DS system update to include Ocarina of Time trailer

As YouTube user FPawesome1 found, if you play the music from the trailer in reverse, Zelda’s Lullaby can clearly be heard. Don’t bel...

New Nintendo console: 8GB of storage, 25GB optical discs
Or so says Kotaku. The new report also lends further credibility to the idea of screen-based controllers, which increasingly sounds like the “hook” Nintendo is going for. Your reaction?
The story of that generic fighting guy in beat ’em ups who wore jeans and a white t-shirt
While we’re on the subject, behold this odd-ball story I penned for GamePro in 2007: At the height of beat ’em up popularity, there existed one archetype character most publishers didn’t mind sharing. He was a slender, blond white male in his early twenties. His only attire was a lucid white t-shirt, skin-tight blue jeans, Chuck Taylors, and those fancy racing gloves presumably ...
