Masahiro Sakurai Says Next Super Smash Bros. Is In Development
Super Smash Bros releases seem to gain as much attention as an iPhone release, the wait is excruciating but the payoff is worth the wait. In a recent interview with Nintendo Power Magazine, Masahiro Sakurai, Director of Super Smash Bros., confirmed that they have taken “the first step of the development process.” “We’ve just taken what you could call the first step of the process. This is the fir...
Nintendo Classic Commercials Never Let Us Down
Yesterday I posted about the new Kim Cattrall Nintendo commercial and how it mixes two pop culture icons, Sex in the City and Mario (Mairio if you pronounce it like she does). It is a cool commercial, but it made me miss the old Nintendo commercials. The ones that were cheesy, but had some actual thought behind them. So, to ease my reminiscing mind, I decided to post some of the classic commerc...
So…Seems Like Mario Has Become a Sex Symbol…
In a new advertising campaign for the 3DS, starring Kim Cattrall, we find that Mario is pretty popular with the ladies. Even while Kim is on the go, she always finds time spend some time with our favorite mustached plumber (I hope he keeps some ointment hidden under that hat of his)! The advert plays off of Kim’s role in Sex in the City and although not everyone will get the reference (I d...
Nintendo Satisfied with 3DS, Does This Mean No XL?
In a recent interview with IGN, Miyamoto was asked whether or not there would be an XL version of the 3DS, he explained that the thoughts of Nintendo might be going in a different direction. “I really feel like I’m satisfied with the 3DS hardware as it is. I feel like it’s the best for this generation,” Miyamoto told said. “What we’re thinking about right now i...
Kirby 20th Anniversary Collection detailed for North America
Back in April, Nintendo announced that the their lovable pink puffball, Kirby, would be receiving his own game collection to commemorate the character’s 20th anniversary (Side note: Nintendo, just so you know, you never did acknowledge the Metroid series’ 25th anniversary last year. Just saying. But, I digress). Now, the full details of this Wii-exclusive collection have been revealed...
Wii U confirmed to Still Use Friend Codes
As I sit here at my desk at work, I received a random text from G4TV stating that Nintendo has confirmed the Wii U will continue using friend codes. I had hopes that we could now begin to use our own customized accounts rather than trying to remember the looooooong friend code number. I hope that they will allow us to transfer all of our existing friends to the Wii U rather than starting over. ...
SQUARE ENIX Announces Distant Worlds To Perform Official 25th Anniversary Concert in North America
Final Fantasy has been an integral part of the Nintendo catalog for many years. As the sequels were released, we were introduced to vast worlds, heart touching story lines, believable characters, and soul tickling compositions. If you browse a Final Fantasy Fan’s collection, you are sure to find the OST’s from the games. Even I have a station on Pandora dedicated to Final Fantasy, a...
Wii U to feature achievements
In an interview with Stephen Totilo of Kotaku, Reggie Fils-Aime discussed several burning questions regarding the Wii U and the Wii U GamePad. Some of theses questions included what the battery life of the controller is, how developers will utilize “Off-TV” play on the Wii U GamePad screen, and why multi-touch would have skyrocketed the price of said controller. However, one question t...
Awesome Zelda Mural
Zelda fans better clear an eight foot swath on their wall!
A tribute to the Unsung Heroes of E3
Now that the excitement of E3 has come and gone, I feel it is time to spread the love to some of the unsung heroes of E3…The Cosplayers! The scantily clad women, the elaborately outfitted fan boys, and even those that…well, we are not sure what they are, We salute you and your bravery!
Not my favorite demo of E3, but Takamurus Ninja Castle will fit in nicely among the Nintendo Land attractions
Not all the games in Nintendo Land can be stupendous, and unfortunately, stupendous is not a word I would use to describe Takamuru’s Ninja Castle. The game isn’t bad per se, but it certainly didn’t have me wanting to go back again and again like some of the other games in the collection. Think of Takamuru’s Ninja Castle as a Time Crisis style rail shooter. The objective of ...
What do you get when you mix Pikmin and Viewtiful Joe? Why Project P-100 of course!
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mr4D4YZQ9uY&hd=1[/youtube]Fluke, a happy accident, a stroke of luck. It was by sheer serendipity that I stumbled upon the Project P-100 game demo station this week, and had I not done so, I wouldn’t have gotten the chance to play one of the most unique Wii U titles on display at this year’s E3. Developed by Platinum Games, Project P-100 on th...
