Tetsuya Nomura: New Kingdom Hearts To Be Announced Soon
Fans of the Kingdom Hearts series have many questions. Some have been answered, many are still lingering. The series seems to have more twists and turns than a corn maze that was created by a drunk farmer. As the series progresses we dive deeper into the intertwining lives of the characters. Nomura was featured in an interview about the series in the Kingdom Hearts 3D Ultimania guide book recent...
How I’d love to see Nintendo exploit iOS
Nintendo faithful, please don’t take offense at what I’m about to say. I’m not suggesting for one moment that Nintendo get out of the hardware business or port its most famous characters to iOS. I’m a card-carrying 3DS fanatic, and I’ll be first in line for Wii U. But I also own an iPhone, and, here’s what drives me crazy: thinking about the bazillion casual ph...
Nintendo Not Revealing Wii U Price at E3
Nintendo has confirmed that they although they will be showing off the final hardware configuration of the Wii U at E3, they will not be revealing the price. Some analysts believe that the Wii U cannot sell for more than $250.00 to be successful, while others have stated that launch price will be no less that $300.00. regardless of the price, I feel that this is a smart move on Nintendo’s ...
Fabulous Folders Follow in Fresh Firmware’s Wake…in 3D!
Alliteration aside, for those who are unaware, the 3DS’s latest firmware update brought with it an exciting addition (at least for me) – folders! This is the first time in Nintendo’s history that the option to sort software into individual folders has been made available to the players, and I must say that it’s about bloody time the 3DS adopted this feature. With so many ne...
Rayman Legends set to hit Wii U, complete with brand new NFC feature
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19g5PrjR7To&hd=1[/youtube] Watch while you can, this just-leaked trailer for Rayman Legends shows off some not yet ready for primetime footage of the game in action running on Wii U. Since the leak earlier today, Ubisoft has since indeed confirmed that the video was the real deal, but has also gone as far to say that the video was “intended as a purely i...
Miyamoto: 3DS Launch Needed More Mario
Shigeru Miyamoto has stated, in a recent interview, that Nintendo did not properly advertise the unique features of the 3DS. Features such as Augmented Reality and other installed apps should have received more focus. He also stated that he was disappointed with the launch line up. What would have made the line up better? More Mario Titles, of course! It does seem that Nintendo’s number o...
Review: Customize your own puzzler in Block Factory
Have you ever been mid-level in a game of Columns or Bejeweled and thought, “This would look so much better with skulls and a pirate ship?” Ever wished you could slow down the rate at which those pesky bottom row blocks appear — or speed them up? Block Factory, a new $3.99 eShop download, has arrived to drop some fun customization into the puzzle block genre. It probably won̵...
Update – Nintendo posts first annual loss, BUT expects 3DS profit by September
2011 surely wasn’t the best year financially for Nintendo, and early 2012 numbers appear to be sluggish; however, things may be looking up for the company and the 3DS. First, the some-what bad news: Nintendo posted its financial report for the first fiscal year ending March 31, which resulted in a 36 percent drop in revenue for the company. In total, Nintendo lost 37.3 billion yen ($458 mill...
Does Nintendo Shun North America?
Over the years Nintendo has released many games in Japan that North America might never get the chance to play. Two examples, out of many, are Pandora’s Tower and Project Zero. Both games are highly sought after in North America, yet Nintendo seems to ignore our pleas. Sure, we are finally getting The Last Story, and that is fantastic news, but there is so much more we could have access to...
A Review: Simplicity + charm + rhythm = Rhythm Heaven Fever for Wii
At first I was surprised that Rhythm Heaven Fever didn’t include motion in its control scheme. The controls, in fact, are infinitely simple: the “A” and “B” buttons are essentially the summary of control for the entire game. Upon thinking about this, I decided it was for the game’s benefit. Rhythm is a precise art (trust me, I know). Motion control is not a prec...
