eShop welcomes Ambassadors
3DS owners, today’s eShop update includes–along with Mario’s Picross and three DSiware titles–a welcome message to all its freshly-inducted Ambassadors. (Toadsworth isn’t actually the program mascot, but he should be: He’s classy, he’s good with PR, and he needs the work.) “You are a Nintendo 3DS Ambassador!” proclaims the message, which can be...
Screenshots of Mighty Switch Force hit the web, continues to impress
WayForward Technologies has revealed its newest project to be Mighty Switch Force, a action heavy sidescroller to be released on the eShop. The Facebook page for Mighty Switch Force was just updated with screenshots from the game, and by my calculation, it’s shaping up to be one heck of a good time. Revealed in the July issue of Nintendo Power, Mighty Switch Force is the spiritual successo...
Wii version of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 inbound
Arguably the most anticipated title to be released this year is Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. The predecessors to Modern Warfare 3 have done rather well on the Wii, but until today it was unconfirmed whether the newest  entry in the franchise would find its way onto a Nintendo platform. Worry no more, Modern Warfare 3 is Wii-bound. In an investor’s conference call, Activision CEO Eric Hir...

Forget hardware: Nintendo’s problem is lack of games
What’s the cause of Nintendo’s current slump? It has nothing to do with hardware, says Kotaku’since 2009, the company has simply stopped making killer-games: Nintendo’s quandary isn’t how to turn the 3DS into the next DS or as an answer to the iPhone or whatever hardware comparison seems fun to make. Their quandary is where their next Wii Fit is, where the successor to Wii ...
One developer sees $42.1m in profits, credits 3DS game sales
You would have thought that the enormous price cut that Nintendo’s newest handheld just received would indicate that third party developers would be experiencing the same lackluster sales, but for one developer, that is not the case.
What have you done so far this summer?
I hate to break it to you’especially you students. But summer is almost over. A few weeks more and it’s, as my friend Billy used to say, “Back to school, back to school.” That said, what fun things have you done so far this summer? And what do you plan to do with the remaining few weeks? With exception to trips to quick trips to Capitol Reef and Star Valley, I’ve been on st...
How would you like to play Pokemon Snap in real life?
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mei7L5g2CPk&feature=player_embedded#at=61[/youtube] While I don’t condone the firing or fireworks at anybody, if it is in the name of Pokemon, I may have to make an exception. This video is brought to you by the same folks who thought real life Smash Brothers was a good idea. On a side note, I will have nightmares of real life Cubone for as long as...
Nintentunes, the best medicine for your iPod
NES – Airwolf [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1m_olsKO0Q[/youtube] Don’t tell me you don’t remember the game based off the 80’s American television series starting the oldest guy still acting Ernest Borgnine. Actually, when my family gifted the game to me, I didn’t either. This helicopter sim/action shooter would not qualify as a masterpiece by any stretch of...
Bits, bobs, and a fun fact from the 3DS world
Just a little gathering of 3DS mini-news and trivia: So far, so good for Nintendo Video: as promised, the company delivered three new 3D videos via Spotpass. Bearshark is, by far, the most fun and twisted of the bunch–and it’s interesting to see a tradional hand-drawn Loony Tunes tribute in 3D. The second new arrival, OK Go’s music video All is not Lost, is beautifully done a...
