Wired reviews Wii, 360, PS3 in single sentence
The October ’07 issue of Wired magazine features a nifty geek encyclopedia that defines several geek related terms in A-Z fashion. Here’s how the index defined seventh-generation game consoles in a nutshell: Wii. A motion-sensing controller, simple games, and a low price make this the top 7th-genner. Xbox 360. Brilliantly conceived online-community features give this box sizzle. PS3. S...
“Free” Wii remote covers cost Nintendo $18 million
As Mel Brooks famously once said, “It’s good to be the king.” For now, Nintendo is the current king of console sales, and that newfound wealth has led to some flexibility in the wallet, as David’s Wiimote-themed post from earlier this morning points out. Case in point: Japan’s Ashi newspaper, via IGN, confirms that the Big N dropped over two billion yen ($18 mil) on t...
Play as Indiana Jones in LEGO Star Wars: Complete Saga
Dr. Jones can use the force? Not really. Like his identical twin Han Solo, the Force is lost on him. Luckily, he’s got that trusty whip at his side.
Blue Dragon DS flies in March 2008
Having failed on the Xbox 360 in Japan (comparatively speaking, as in “it will revive the Xbox in Japan” type talk), the minds behind Blue Dragon have selected the DS as the platform of choice for their next RPG adventure. Wired’s Chris Kohler has the goods, via NeoGAF: Hironobu Sakaguchi’s company Mistwalker has announced Blue Dragon DS (tentative title), to be released th...
The Wii Virtual Console import tax
I’ve seen a few people post about this at blogs like 4cr and Aeropause, so I thought it would be worth a post here to see what you guy and gals think. The query is about first party imports on the VC and their “modest” price increase. Or, their import aficionado player’s tax, as I like to call it. The two import games are 600 points for the Famicom title Super Mario Bros 2 ...
Team Ninja’s Itagaki on choosing DS over PSP
Sure, he wears sunglasses at night, but Team Ninja’s executive producer Tomonobu Itagaki’s got game, man. He’s also highly opinionated and confident and dresses like a Japanese Michael Jackson, which can put some people off, but any man that can turn the DS on its ear (literally) and deliver a touch-based Ninja Gaiden game is worth listening to for a spell or two. This interview ...

The Legend of Zelda debuts on Nintendo DS
(Press release) ”“ Today’s launch of The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass for Nintendo DS marks the arrival of perhaps the deepest, richest story ever to appear on a hand-held video game system. The game requires players to fill up the Phantom Hourglass with sand and give themselves enough time to delve deeper and deeper into the ultimate dungeon. It has received critical praise both in th...
New publisher readies Nintendo Power, but first a look back
From Game Set Watch: At its peak, NP was the premier outlet through which gamers got their info and strategies. For a time from its inception to around 1995, having a game make the cover of NP was a major advertising coup for whatever third-party publisher managed the feat, because full coverage in the mag had a direct effect on sales of the sort that good reviews in Famitsu are purported to have ...
Advance Wars DS gets serious
Like it, love it, or hate it, it appears as though Advance Wars is getting a face lift. The in-game stuff is still the Advance Wars of old, but those armies apparently aren’t being controlled by 16-year-old commanders anymore. Nope, now it’s Cloud-haired kids and G.I. Joe. Jeux-France has a few pics up from a recent show, but be warned they aren’t the highest quality. Brave new d...
