A hands on preview of Super Paper Mario for GameCube has surfaced from N-Sider. From the article: “I have to say, out of a lot of the games of E³ 2006, after Super Mario Galaxy, this game has to be one of my personal picks for highly-anticipated title. And the irony is that what with all the focus going to the Wii and new Nintendo DS titles, this game wasn?t even at the show!” WhoR...

This year, E3 belonged to the Wii. The 360 had a strong presence, and the PS3 was, um… there, but it’s hard to deny that it was Nintendo who captured the spotlight. Though with all eyes on the next generation of consoles, it’s easy for the current batch to get lost in all the excitement. Enter (or more appropriately, exit) the Gamecube, one such neglected console. Without a singl...

The above video was taken from Nintendo’s E3 press site and really went unnoticed due to all the Wii attention. Wii’s version was a blast. Loved it. But I left the expo having not played the GCN version feeling unsure about which edition to recommend. On one hand, the game was designed for GameCube. That’s a good thing. On the other, the title utilizes, albeit tacked-on, Wii cont...

Though US numbers are still scarce, the DS Lite continues to sell extremely well in Japan, both in hardware and software sales. PunchJump writes: “Media Create Co. reports that from May 1”“ May 7 the latest DS model sold 161,010 units that week. By comparison Sony’s PSP handheld sold 37,946 units. In addition, DS software sales took seven of the top ten sales in the same period.”...

In the weeks leading up to E3, nobody in the industry earnestly expected Nintendo to divulge the Wii’s final price point and launch date. The fact of the matter is that leaving these details deliberately ambiguous keeps potential customers buzzing and forces the competition to stay on their toes. This is the same sort of leverage that Sony recently employed against Microsoft for months on en...

Here are some quick Nintendo web finds for the day: Get 99 Lives in New Super Mario Bros. Nintendo President Iwata skeptical about in-game ads Iwata: ‘We don’t care if we beat Sony or Microsoft’

The DS had some awesome games showing and playable at E3 this year. Yoshi’s Island 2 and Zelda: Phantom Hourglass would suffice but there were plenty more. So did the DS get shafted in terms of attention at the show? Personally, though it was unwarranted, I spent a majority of my time with Wii. I loved it, but I guess I just wish there were more time for the DS and all its games. It has been...

It’s almost time for our ninth show, and we’re doing something a wii bit different this time around. Nintendo keeps calling us in the middle of dinner, reminding us that Playing = Believing, despite the fact that millions of Nintendo fans haven’t yet had the chance to experience the Wii’s unique interface firsthand. Therefore, we’re opening the floor to everyone who&#...

Amidst the cacophonous din of E3, accolade for the Nintendo Wii was hardly just relegated to eager attendees and gaming press. However, some of the most unexpected acclaim for the Wii came from the mouths of two of gaming’s biggest rivals ’ namely, Microsoft’s Peter Moore and Sony’s Phil Harrison. Whilst verbally lambasting each other, both managed to heap praise upon Nintendo...

It’s obvious that Nintendo, along with others, is a big part of this digital directory for video games. From the site: “The Famicom was a very influential video game system, but few people outside of Japan know much about it. Besides being the video game system that gave birth to some of the biggest gaming franchises, the Famicom is also largely responsible for the rebound of the game ...
