Launching two days after the PS3 is a big mistake. Making a profit is a bad thing. I’m having writer’s block and I seriously can’t remember… did all of these come true or not? Oh wait. ...

Forget the Virtual Console, forget emulated games, and forget paying for stuff at all. The coolest game from Nintendo this year isn’t available for any console and it’s free. Mission In Snowdriftland is a Flash-based platformer created to promote Nintendo in Europe for the holiday season. There are 24 levels, each corresponding to days in December like an Advent calendar.

If we assume that’s all true, then I’d like to take a guess at what the word Zelda might mean. “Delayed.” Game Informer (via The Hylia) is reporting that Phantom Hourglass has has been pushed back from “...

For those of you left in the cold by Nintendo’s lack of component cables, there’s an answer today from React. Well, there will be an answer once Best Buy gets these $24.99 Wii component cables in stock. And, the best part? These cables are so secretly NINJA it’s not even funny: “Black cable will blend in with the rest of your entertainment system cables.” Errm, except...
