In what is most likely a smart social business move, Nintendo executive VP George Harrison maintains a My Space profile. But it doesn’t appear to be all marketing fluff. From his blog: “As an ‘over 40’ gaming guy myself (OK, a little more than over 40), I have at times felt left behind as my game skills and the time I have to play games have declined over the years. That...

EGM recently stated that only crappy games are being developed for the dying GBA (11/06 issue), hence the platform should just go away. I’m not going to lie; I think the target audience for the GBA is extremely young now, but I personally think the platform still has some life in it, despite the fact that even Nintendo wasn’t supporting it or the GameCube at E3 this year. Do you agree ...

Rumor has it that Wii preorders will begin this week at Gamestop and EB Games. I’ve even heard numbers of about 50 units per store. Also, EB Games has updated their online store with “preorder info coming soon!” With launch numbers being predicted at 2 million plus, however, is anyone still worried about not getting a Wii at launch?

With the Virtual Console almost upon us, this find might come in handy. What’s the find? How about hundreds of NES levels laid out in all their glory, much like Nintendo Power did back in the late 80’s and early 90’s? Study up, Infendo.

The Official Nintendo Magazine, which duped us all with a overblown embargoed cover tease last month, might be clawing its way back to at least the middle tier of respectability with its hands-on look at Red Steel. The mag is subscription only, but Wii Fanboy has a few bullet points from the magazine’s recent experience with one of the most anticipated FPS’s for the Wii launch. The con...

Joystiq reports of problems when sunlight hits Wii’s sensor bar, locking up games like Metroid Prime Hunters until the sunlight is removed from the sensor bar’s presence. Is this even an issue? Could it just be a demo unit problem?

One Slashdot contributor reports: “There’s bits and pieces of information floating around that revolve around Iwata Asks interviews on Nintendo’s website: ‘Wii is the first system from Nintendo that we can continue to be involved in (via operating system updates) after the customer buys it. This means that Wii will greatly expand and diversify the ways in which people will ...

Is it wrong that I think the N64 is the most aesthetically pleasing system despite its being my least favorite Nintendo console (not considering the Virtual Boy, Game & Watch, etc.)?

I want to shed the label of biased Nintendo fanboy, I really do, but when the people offering up counterpoints to pro-Wii writers like Brier Dudley are as dense as ITWire’s Stan Beer, it just makes things difficult. To preface my forthcoming remarks, let me say that Nintendo’s quest to woo non-gamers with the Wii will be a tough fight. That said, let’s take a look-see at what the...

The Seattle Times‘ Brier Dudley has really taken a liking to Nintendo’s new system. In his article today he even rambles on about rowing out to the freighters coming to Seattle as part of an elaborate attempt to score one of the first Wii consoles to hit American shores. “I try to be skeptical during product demonstrations, but this one left me convinced the Wii (pronounced ̶...

Thanks to a blurry cameraphone and Engadget, we now have some of the first pics of Wii accessories that will be hitting store shelves in November. The pics show Wii controller gloves, dog tags (!?), and what appears to be a travel case, all housed in Wii-themed endcaps that will brazenly showcase the console and its games very soon. More pics in the Source link below.
