NiGHTS on Wii is real, no joke
Game|Life confirms what many of you may have already known, but I remained skeptical about until today (April 2): NiGHTS returns as a Wii-exclusive title sometime “this winter.” Official word from Sega early this morning is that the Wii-exclusive sequel to 1996’s Nights Into Dreams will be titled Nights: Journey of Dreams, and be released “this winter.” That’s t...
Nintendo Spotting: French Canadian Mega Man edition
Mega Man hawks bubble tea in Montreal. I wonder what kind of weapon/tool tea gives the ol’ Rock Man these days? [Thanks, Ry C.]

Still, for those who still enjoy a good AFD chuckle, ThinkGeek has once again put up their page of zany stuff that could be real, but really isn’t. [Thanks, joey]

Highlights and commentary from that interview follow: “I wanted to clear up some misunderstandings that some developers have about what Nintendo is trying to do, and make it really clear that we’re not saying...

Note to Nintendo: Stay far, far away from Take Two, Rockstar
Wired Magazine is covering the shareholder coup going down at Take Two Interactive today, so I thought I’d revisit my post from this week about whether or not Nintendo should swoop in an buy up Take Two. Wired: As all this played out at Take-Two, the Rockstars continued their rise. Dan Houser assumed the creative reins, writing game dialog and directing star-studded voice-over sessions. Sam ...
Why the Sonic-Mario game DOES matter
O, Blake. You are wise beyond your years, but on the upcoming Mario & Sonic at the Olympics title you are just out to lunch. And I thought Denver, not Salt Lake, was the Mile High City. But I digress… Here’s why you’re wrong (and I’m going to go to the dark side and have Matt Casamassina help me on this one): 1. It’s not 1995, but it is 2007. Times have changed, t...
