First Heroes of Ruin gameplay trailer emerges
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmf7SW52S-0[/youtube] Ever since getting my grubby hands on Heroes of Ruin at the Nintendo booth at E3, I knew that the Diablo-style gameplay was exactly what the doctor ordered. Today in preparation for the Gamescom 2011 video game show in Cologne, Square-Enix  has released the first gameplay trailer for the title. In comparison to what was on display in J...
For any who still don’t view Apple as Nintendo’s biggest competitor, read this
Acutely summarized by 1up: Some would argue that the model used by Nintendo is outdated; people would rather spend $0.99 on an app than $39.99 on a new game. While the average App Store game might not have the same level of quality as a retail 3DS titles, many are quite good — and even if they aren’t, users can buy another 39 cheap App Store games and potentially get as much, if not m...
A pause for appreciation: 3D video on 3DS looks fantastic
Sure, there’s a lot to criticize about the way Nintendo’s managed 3DS’s initial months, but’darned if this little baby can’t do amazing things with the proper software. This week’s free Nintendo Video update, featuring a College Humor piece called “Next Level Hugs,” drives a point home like no other film I’ve seen on the handheld: With properly-filmed material,...
Worst Nintendo box art ever?
I haven’t hopped on the Nintendo hate wagon that’s been going on around here yet, so here’s my entry: worst Nintendo box art ever. Come on Nintendo! You’d think that a cutey line Kirby deserves to have his happy mug splashed on the cover of his new title Mass Attack! I also have never heard of this developer called TEMP. Seriously, though, I love Kirby and this game looks r...

More bad news: Nintendo net income at 30-year low
I didn’t independently verify this report, but if accurate, Nintendo’s net income is near a 30 year low, 27-years to be exact. Meaning Nintendo hasn’t made this little money since before the NES boom of 1985. Holy, shnikes! Although I’m no fan of the 3DS’at least in its immediate state’I take no heart in this. This is not good news at all for fans of Nintendo games, of whic...
Nintendo on Project Rainfall: We will be watching very closely what happens in Europe
While not everyone may be fans of traditional RPGs, there are many a gamer up in arms at the fact that they will not be able to play the games they wish to play. This is nothing new to gamers; in fact, I can remember at time when MOST of the game I wanted to play were only available to the Japanese speaking gamers among us. Shin Megami Tensei, Contra Spirits, Fire Emblem, Akumajo Dracula XX…...
If this doesn’t excite 3DS buyers, I don’t know what will
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TVsuIJ95jI[/youtube] Seriously, this thing feels like an infomercial. Got games?
Would cheaper 3DS games make you jump?
System price cuts are nice and all, but you gotta lower game prices too if you want to be popular, says one market researcher. “Lower 3DS hardware prices only address part of the problem,” says Billy Pidgeon to Industry Gamers. “I would like to see Nintendo cut the retail price of packaged software to a range of $20 to $25 for the 3DS,” he added. Currently 3DS games are p...
Have you played these four newly discounted Wii games?
Nintendo will soon relabel Super Paper Mario, Super Mario Galaxy, Punch-Out, and Mario Strikers Charged as $20 “select” games, says the rumor mill. In case you missed one of the 4-star plus rated games, you’re Wii will thank you for jumping. The original four Select games were Mario Super Sluggers, Wii Sports (replaced by Mario Kart Wii as the Wii’s bundled game), The Legen...
Nintendo and Disney: Two giants fixing massive belly flops
I’m a patient Nintendo fan. I forgive their occasional blunders, confident amazing things will eventually materialize. Much of that patience comes from also being a lifelong Disney fan, watching the Mouse veer from greatness (Space Mountain, Beauty and the Beast) to failure (Black Hole, Mars Needs Moms) over and over again. Nintendo and Disney share rare qualities. Using top talent to mix te...
