Nintendo Spotting: Energy Drink Edition
I spotted “Power Up Energy Drink” at a large boutique store in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Has anybody out there actually tasted this?

DS sells 10 mil in Japan; You’d think it’d be more
Respected Japanese publication Famitsu announced today that Nintendo hit the 10 million sold milestone in Japan for the DS Lite. It also did it in record time selling more than two times faster than the mega-selling PS2 for the same period. Not sure how high the total is including DS phats, but I would have sweared this would have been more. Don’t the Japanese buy like a half mil of these th...

Just how "underpowered" are Wii’s graphics?
In light of recent comments made by Microsoft’s Robbie Bach in calling Wii’s graphics less capable than Xbox 1, N’Gai Croal examines the facts via three anonymous sources. Wii is a scrappy little booger, but is it as underpowered as conventional wisdom suggests? From the article: While Bach’s statement that the Wii is graphically underpowered compared to the first Xbox wasn...

Not sure if everyone saw this yet, even though the video has been out for a little while. Pretty amazing stuff going on with Mario these days. My head hurts when I watch that video. It looks like an incredibly hard game, but Nintendo isn’t really known for impossible control schemes. The art design is beautiful, even in YouTube quality. How excited are you for Super Mario Galaxy?
