Let’s face it; the DS Lite does not look like a conventional game system. It doesn’t even look like a normal portable console. Here’s why: The success of Apple’s iPod is now a case study to all companies selling consumer electronics. The MP3 player’s usability, non-intimidating looks, and hip factor are off the charts. Now I know Apple didn’t invent the color wh...

Contrary to what Nintendo had to say about the World Store DS Lite launch party, one Infendo reader writes: “We got to the Nintendo event and were sadly disappointed. For one [Nintendo] lied to us about the free food.

Next-Gen (who generally belittles Nintendo) writes: “Compared with its competitors, [Nintendo] has scored in many areas such as pricing, introducing information correctly and exciting the public. And, as far as DS goes, it has hardly put a foot wrong. Although Nintendo has made its share of errors, and will no doubt stumble somewhat in the future, it’s worth celebrating companies that ...

Double cult fans are still talking about an Apple buyout of Nintendo. Crave Talk writes: “Online conspiracy theorists suggest that Apple is about to frag the gaming community with a revelation that could shake Microsoft to its core: Apple will buy Nintendo.
