In an interview today, EA executive David Gardner said: “There’s no doubt that EA has historically bet more on PSP. I think we were excited by the technology, but the consumers have proven that actually what they want is fun. We must never forget that what we need to focus on is fun and so EA is putting more effort behind DS games ”“ and creative ones that really take advantage of the hardwa...

Nintendo announced today that Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day on the DS has sold more than 4 million units worldwide, including 600,000 in the Americas, 3 million in Japan and 500,000 in Europe.

Oh how the mighty have fallen though; R.O.B. has gone from stacking blocks to watching thi...

You probably assume that DS gamers who want to rock out New Super Mario Bros. and Brain Age have already owned these games for months now. After all, they were released in May and April, respectively. If you’re thinking this way, you’d better hit up Brain Age, as your rusty brain synapses are getting crossed and formulating false conclusions. The two games grabbed the top two spots on ...

While some people have to work hard for their dinero (heck, Mario has to bash his head against blocks), others get mad amounts of cash by simply geeking out on camera. The latest Internet celebrity, the Nintendo 64 Kid, can proudly say his parent’s console investment was profitable, with the end of his eBay auction leaving him $1051 richer. Yes, someone decided to drop a grand on a ten year ...
