Rumor: Operation Rainfall already a success, Xenoblade NTSC localization complete
According to sources who wish to remain anonymous (don’t they all) localization of Xenoblade for the US was completed just before this year’s E3. The folks over at Operation Rainfall have stated on their blog that Xenoblade is ready for NTSC territories, while the Last Story localization is well underway. This news would be a huge boon for Wii owners looking to milk their little white...
Satoru Iwata has been listening, is not pleased with lack of games on Wii
It?s funny how much Nintendo has changed in the last decade. For the first time in its history, Nintendo was no longer the market leader as the Sony Playstation had broken onto the scene and easily ran away with the lion?s share of the console market. The Playstation 2 was beginning to pick up where its predecessor left off, and Nintendo was itself readying its own answer in the Gamecube.
Concept designs of Infendo’s unreleased console leaked to internet
In a corporate debacle of elephantine proportions, images of Infendo’s unreleased 2D console controller leaked to the internet today, brining the information superhighway to its knees. “Who knew there was this much interest in the horse and buggy of console gaming,” said world wide web creator Tim Berners-Lee, in reaction to the event. “Anyways, isn’t this thing like ...
Majora’s Mask was all just a dream

In the August issue of Official Nintendo Magazine UK, Koizumi speaks of how he thought up the idea of the three-day system found in Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask. “Occasionally I also take images from dreams. Perhaps I am a little bit different from Mr Miyamoto in that sense. So if I could...
Reggie on Wii U: Online experience will be robust, takes jab at Sony and Microsoft
While there have been no concrete details on the online infrastructure of Wii U, Nintendo has flat out stated they need to do better. While the launch of the eshop for 3DS was a nice start, if Nintendo is serious about offering a service comperable to Microsoft’s Xbox Live or Sony’s Playstation Network, they have a long way to go.
Gross photos of abandoned Wii controllers
Wired published a series of dusty, filthy, or otherwise neglected Wii hardware today. Before any avid Wii users take offense, I’m sure there are plenty of dusty Xbox and PlayStation controllers in the world. But the point is well made: most people have moved on.
God of Golf games: Mario Golf Advance Tour
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3OXNYUfm64[/youtube] Not only is Advance Tour’s core gameplay the best game of golf, the story mode is all sorts of RPG awesome. It’s also the epitome of “just one more time” when attempting level up challenges. I can’t put this game down. If you haven’t already, get that.
Super Mario 3DS to include more than just the Tanooki Suit
This months issue of Official Nintendo Magaize  UK (ONM) has an interview with Yoshiaki Koizumi that should excite long time fans of the Mario franchise. “I can’t reveal the actual number of power-ups in the game right now,” says Koizumi, “but suffice to say that we do try to include enough so that people can enjoy a variety of different kinds of play experiences in the title.”...
Nintendo: Zelda HD won’t “necessarily” look like this
Speaking to Wired last week about the conceptual Wii U demo of Zelda HD (pictured), here’s what producer Eiji Aonuma had to say: “You probably remember that when we introduced the GameCube, we showed a somewhat realistic Zelda demo,” he said. “And what we actually created was the cel-shaded Wind Waker. So when we show a graphic demo, people think, ”˜Oh, this is what the next Zelda will look...
