Video games as a skill?
Before I started thinking about this idea, I was easily frustrated by new gamers who couldn’t seem to grasp controls that are second nature to me. I have a friend whose family has never owned a single dedicated gaming system, handheld or otherwise. Even so, how hard can it possibly be to hold a Wii remote sideways and control the on-screen Mario with the directional pad and jump button? Even...
The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition dated, arrives Sept 28
In commemoration of the 25th anniversary of everyone’s favorite green hero, Nintendo announced at E3 that they would be giving away a free downloadable Zelda title to anyone who owns a Nintendo DSi, DSi XL, or 3DS. That title is aptly named The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition, and starting September 28, you can grab a copy for yourself. Nintendo was kind enough to show off t...
New Super Smash Bros. title is available RIGHT NOW!
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=351CO5_8fbM&feature=player_embedded[/youtube] Super Smash Bros. is one or Nintendo’s most beloved franchises and when a new title is on the horizon, fans are always clamoring for more info. Well what if I told you that the newest entry is here and you can have it for free? Super Smash Land is de-make fan project of the popular franchise by  artist...
Regarding the recent news about Vita’s battery…
Hmmm. Three to five hours…and that’s with online capabilities disabled. Sounds awfully familiar, doesn’t it? I wonder how Sony fans are adapting to the news. I’d like to send them all a card: “Misery loves company, guys. Welcome aboard the S.S. Recharge.”
“The 3D Machine” invades Nintendo Video
One thing I wasn’t expecting from my 3DS was its ability to morph into a little portable film festival with truly outstanding entries. Do not miss this week’s Nintendo Video debut of “The 3D Machine” from Rotterdam’s Ka-Ching Cartoons. Not only is this the best film to hit the service so far, but it actually has (drum roll) a reason to be in 3D: the plot involves a cr...
What upcoming Nintendo game are you most excited to play this year?
Although I wish it had fewer cutscenes, I’ll go with Zelda: Skyward Sword out Nov. 20 on Wii. What about you? If you could only pick one game spanning all three current Nintendo systems, what game are you most excited to play by year’s end?
This game looks and sounds fun

A new way to rank games…what do you think?
Possibly the most vital part of any game review is the final score. Raise your hand if you have ever skipped an entire review to get straight to the final score in order to decide whether you should buy the game.
Here’s why Nintendo’s 3DS target is off by a whopping 75%
Just how bad is 3DS performing? In case it wasn’t obvious, let the numbers do the talking. According to Reuters, Nintendo is hoping to sell 16 million 3DS units by the end of the year. After selling more than 3 million units in the first month, sales tapered to just 700k additional units for the entire following quarter ending in June. That’s just over 4 million; 75% short of their 1...
The Nintendo games of tomorrow
It’s fair to say that the view we are currently afforded of Nintendo’s future products is rather lopsided. We know quite a bit about new hardware. The 3DS is already in our hands and the Wii U was unveiled months ago. We have been made aware of the consoles’ technical capabilities, know a good deal about their potential as well as their limits, and, as a result of this knowledge,...
