If this upcoming generation console war had a trailer, this would be it. Very funny parody poking fun at all major console manufacturers.

Here’s the speed-dial haps of what’s going on in your Nintendo world, today: Nintendo (Ad) Spotting in San Francisco Wii on Opera’s website Video: DS browser in action Nintendo employee says Wii will launch in November Nintendo Respond to DS Lite Hinge Problems Wiimote a Copy of Dreamcast Prototype?

While Nintendo is poised to make some bucks this fall with Wii, third-party publishers may be left out in the cold. Next-gen writes: “They “were caught off guard” by the buzz around the Wii, James Lin, a longtime industry analyst and a consultant with Simba Group, told TheStreet.com. “They weren’t expecting anything.” One hedge fund manager told the site, “No on...

Go Nintendo has dug up some hidden Wii web pages on Nintendo.com. Though they don’t reveal much, there are some interesting pieces of information: Tony Hawk’s Downhill Jam and Super Smash Bros will be playable online Wii will use friend-code system for online play More Wii Party games including Wii Music on the way? More launch titles to be announced?

This brings the Japanese DS Lite rainbow to five colors. Lately I’ve seen a lot of people on trains rocking their black SPs and DS originals, so I’m gue...

It ain’t good when a dog finds your DS. One kid got Nintendo to fix his for $50 though (the same $50 they wouldn’t fix here?).

Initial reports of cracked DS Lite hinges are coming in from various sources and it appears that Nintendo isn’t fixing the $50 problem. Any readers have a similar problem? [Thanks, =puppetmaster=]
