Hacked NES Controller DS Case

Some genius has built a NES DS case from scratch, though he didn’t post a “how-to.” Bummer.

Nintendo and Japanese Fourth Graders

Last Friday I went to a Japanese elementary school with one of my classes to study the Japanese educational system, entertain the children by teacheing them how to draw an old manga character (Norimaki Senbei from Dr. Slump) and play dodge ball with them. During class time as I was demonstrating to the class how to draw the aforementioned character one of the children at my table yelled in my dire...

Wii Marketing and Button Uncertainty

Kotaku’s Brian Ashcraft recently posted about an interview with Shigeru Miyamoto where he stated that the company is still debating about how many buttons to put on the controller, as well as Nintendo’s goal to target people that haven’t yet planned on buying a next-generation console.

DS Lite’s Brightest Setting

When he’s not rocking the emcee job on Infendo Radio, Scott Johnson is also a cartoonist. Though I can’t be 100% positive, I’m pretty sure his most recent comic pictured above spawned from Infendo Radio show 13’s commentary on the DS Lite’s brightest setting.

Awesome New Videos of Super Paper Mario

GoNintendo (via Kotaku) has posted several new videos of Super Paper Mario for the GameCube due out later this year. The game looks amazing, and it’s really too bad that it wasn’t showcased at this year’s E3. Follow the source link for (3) new videos. Game preview here.

Wii, Robot

Revolution Report The Wiire has a nice analysis of Nintendo’s possible ulterior motive for not packing Wii to the brim with cutting, razorblade edge horsepower. Shawn White proposes that Wii’s lack of extreme graphical fidelity makes it easier for it to bypass the Uncanny Valley. For the unaware, the Uncanny Valley is a robotics principle that basically means the more human-like a robo...
