"Ask a Ninja" dude a former Nintendo consultant?
Our favorite retro loving fanboy Racketboy dug up a nice little speculative story from a 1989 Nintendo Power. See that ninja model posing for a Ninja Gaiden article on your left? He looks a lot like the “Ask a Ninja” vidcaster. So are they one in the same? Well, they have the same freakin’ eyes, nose, and brows, but unless the Ninja has gotten hairier with age (which is possible)...

I (Heart) Tiger Woods PGA ‘07 on Wii
Note: I haven’t been interested in EA’s Tiger Woods in a long time. I’ve played it over the years at friends house, but never really enjoyed it in favor of arcade style golf games (Mario Golf, Hot Shots, etc). That said, Tiger Woods PGA ’07 for Wii is a great game. It’s a 9 in my book. Easy. And I don’t even care for golf games or playing the sport all that much...

Some third-party Wii ports you may or may not be interested in

So which ones are worth the purchase price, even if you already own a previous version? EGM says… The Godfather: Blackhand Edition – Extra gameplay worth the $50 bucks. Driver: Parallel Lines – Lack of content makes this a no go. Mortal Kombat Armagedd...
Nintendo DS web browser arrives June 4th for North America
Opera Software has announced June 4th of this year to be the release date for their Nintendo DS web browser in North America. No pricing information as of yet, but with the October ’06 European release of this software retailing for €40 Euros, it’s safe to assume that the American release will retail for $30-35 USD. Now if some benevolent organization could just whip up an American G...
Scott and Blake have a tough time finding Wii crap in Utah
This is why Scott and I have a hard time finding ANY Wii product here in Utah. On average, 24% of US households own at least one game console. In Utah, that number is 32%, the highest of any other state.
Crayola Crayons and the Nintendo DS
From GameDaily BIZ: Crave Entertainment today announced a new partnership with Crayola. This agreement will see Crave create a crayon based game for the DS. More than a mere coloring simulation, players will find hidden treasure using Crayola crayons on obstacles and in mini-games. As long as there is an Infendo Red mixed in somewhere next to Sea Foam and Burnt Sienna, I’m game.
Wii Friends List to be game-specific
All signs are pointing toward Nintendo doing the inconceivable and rolling out an online strategy for the Wii that is identical to the one they had for the DS. Blogger “Falafelkid” posted the results of a series of e-mails between himself and a PR representative from Edelman speaking on behalf of GameSpy: Falafelkid: Just one last question to make absolutely sure I have got this right,...
Wii sales hit 60% of total Xbox 360 sales in 3.5 months
