Demo this dog, dang it!
Look, I know Nintendogs + cats isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. Honestly, I understand (animal haters!) But now that eShop has a FREE DEMO of N+c available for download RIGHT NOW, every 3DS owner should give it a spin. Why? To witness some pure Nintendo magic; this is one of the most amazing and effective uses of 3D in any title for the platform. Try starting the demo up with 3D switched o...
What if Nintendo Rebranded Themselves as…Nintendo?
Nintendo has always been one of the best systems around, that is a given. It has stood the test of time and weathered the passing of great systems such as Sega, Neo Geo, Turbo Graphix 16, Atari, and Watara Supervision. However, over the past few years it seems to have been lost in the shadow of the XBOX 360 and Playstation 3. It seemed for a while that Nintendo might not be able to keep up with...
At last! The Last Story has been confirmed for a North American Launch.
I would like to think that Operation Rainfall has had a lot to do with Xenoblade Chronicles coming out this April to North American gamers, with their campaigns to let Nintendo of America know just how much the game was wanted. In a surprise move, Nintendo of America today announced in it’s Nintendo Direct video that The Last Story, another Operation Rainfall game, would be coming stateside...
Mario Tennis Open slices onto 3DS this year
There are just some games that make sense to bring to 3DS, and Mario Tennis is definitely one of them. Last year Nintendo teased that a Mario Tennis game was in development, and in today’s Nintendo Direct video, made it official. Mario Tennis Open will be released May 25 in Japan and May 20 in North American territories.
Nintendo Direct: Brain Age is getting the 3DS treatment
Along with Nintendogs, Brain Age: Train your Brain in Minutes a Day! was one of the reasons that the Nintendo DS really took off not just with traditional gamers, but with the more casual players as well. It was because of these two games that the DS was in the hands of grandmas and grandchildren alike. It has been six years since the original Brain Age was released, and in today’s Nintendo Direct...
Review: Dillon’s Rolling Western wrangles a diverse herd of gameplay into good grub
Imagine a game with a Windwaker art style that takes place on a Wild West version of Hyrule field, in which you roll around like Sonic the Hedgehog, aiming for objects as in Super Monkeyball, using a control system that feels like a combo of the forthcoming Kid Icarus and Angry Birds, while building RTS gun towers and fighting arena battles that’ll remind you of good Mario Party minigames. Now ima...

Fans of the Kingdom Hearts series will be excited to hear that Richard Epcar has officially announced that he will be reprising the role of Ansem and Xehanort in Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance! The announcement was made on his Facebook page and the Kingdom Hearts Facebook page! This is very exciting news, since the announcement confirms that the English version is in production with a fam...
Dillon’s Rolling Western now available in eShop
This morning’s Nintendo Direct video featured a pleasant surprise for fans of the company’s original 3DS eShop games: Dillon’s Rolling Western is available for purchase right now. First impressions: It looks great, controls well, and the gameplay’s fun. The terrific main character is saddled (not literally) with an incredibly annoying sidekick/helper. One concern is the lou...
Apple Announces Pokemon Yellow Was a Fake
iPhone users and Pokemon fans alike were excited to see the launch of Pokemon Yellow for the iOs. It was so popular that in just two days it soared to number two on the paid app charts! At the low price of $0.99 US it was a steal! The problem, though, is that it is a fake. The game was developed by House of Anime and described as “just like the original”. Once the app was installed...
Poll – Should Nintendo change the name of Wii U?
Who knows if Nintendo will say anything about its name today, but I’m curious: {democracy:165} [UPDATE] Nintendo didn’t announce a new name for the Wii U, nor did they even mention it during today’s video press release. Anyway, I think Villa’s comment below really nails the need for a new name since I also still meet people who don’t know how good of a brand-new handh...
Rumor: Nintendo executives meet with top content providers to provide video content for Wii U
To say that Nintendo has been slow to get up to speed in the online space is an understatement. Just look at their history. Nintendo’s first move actually came on the Super Famicom with the Satellaview, a satellite modem add-on only available in Japan. The system was developed to receive broadcast signals from a satellite TV station during a fixed time-slot, effectively allowing for subscription b...
Nintendo invites gamers to Nintendo Direct via Spotpass. What would you like to see them announce?
Hope you don’t have any plans tomorrow at 7AM MST, Reggie might be mad if you don’t accept his invitation to the Nintendo Direct video press conference. The last Nintendo Direct conference was frankly somewhat disappointing, but we did learn about a few demos that would be coming down the pipeline and got a few new video reels for upcoming games. I imagine this time we can expect more of the same,...
