Miyamoto: Nintendo making Zelda title “easier”
Shigeru Miyamoto is talking, again, and today the topic of conversation is Zelda. Specifically, the next Zelda title and its difficulty. You see, there exists in Nintendo a worry right now. A worry that the Zelda series has become too difficult (and too repetitive) for most people to play and enjoy. There are no longer any “surprises” for gamers when they pick up a Zelda title. So, Miy...
Here’s Nintendos new “hi-tech” HQ
From Techflash: But this is a video-game company, after all, and most of the fun stuff is on the inside. There’s an employees-only Nintendo World store, a new Cafe Mario employee restaurant, and a directional system that divides the building into color-coded quadrants named after Mario, Donkey Kong, Yoshi and Wario. Not to mention a gigantic top-floor conference room named the “Master ...
Report: 3D Nintendo handheld sports widescreen and 4:3 displays
A wifi filing and leaked images appear to confirm that Nintendo’s unnamed portable, now codenamed “CTR” in a FCC filing, will have both a 3D stereoscopic widescreen display and a traditional 4:3 ratio one when it launches later this year (or next?). The use of CTR is significant. Previous DS versions, like the DSi and XL, went by codenames TWL and UTL, respectively. The use of CT...
Nintendo tries “budget” track with Monday releases
This could just be me, but I noticed that Nintendo made it a point to stress some of the titles in this week’s Monday update were “budget” priced and inexpensive at 500 Wii Points apiece. Led me to wonder…no company says anything in a press release that they don’t mean to, so are these titles perhaps not doing as hot because of their pricing? Are developers still comp...
Pokemon White and Black Gameplay, more…
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fa56fsoDkpc[/youtube] Warning: Very Japanese, No translation present The official Pokémon TV show in Japan has aired more information about Pokémon White and Black, as well as shown actual game play. It would seem that all Pokemon now move instead of being very still in battle, and that Zoroark, the dark mysterious legendary, has the power to transform int...
How come Wii is so small?
Nintendo president Satoru Iwata reportedly asked his team of industrial designers to make the Wii no taller or wider than three stacked DVD cases. The result, as you know, is probably the sleekest video game console ever made. Have you ever wondered why that is? I suspect, as I’m sure most do, that Iwata felt the smaller design would appeal more to consumers already familiar with sleek and s...

Do you force video games onto your kids like other parents do sports, academics, etc?
Fact of life: When people find a passion, they almost always share it with loved ones and friends. Video games are no different, something columnist Jeff Cork noted in this month’s Game Informer. “We certainly don’t have a corner on the market when it comes to projecting our own interest on other people ’ just look at hardcore sports fans,” Cork writes. “But I think there’s some...
