This is a tad long, but if you enjoy baseball, classic RBI NES goodness, and can appreciate what it would take to re-enact an inning of baseball on a video game, you just might enjoy this. Well done!

In addition to scooping Red Steel screen shots for the Revolution console, the new Game Informer also contains an interview with Nintendo Vice President, George Harrison. Revolution Report writes: “According to Harrison, Nintendo is planning approximately 20 titles total for Revolution’s launch. He also noted that about a third of them would come from Nintendo.” That’s righ...

In a scan from EGM’s latest issue, retrieved from The Revolution Lifestyle, the Q-man claims that Mario Paint will go to both DS and Revolution. A Pilotwings game will join Mario Paint on the Rev. He also says that DS and PSP will get hardware revisions by year’s end, both including a camera. DS Lite on the other hand will come in May. [via GoNintendo] Mario stamps. Cause Lady Liberty ...

Game Boy, the brick that Yokoi built. When it launched in 89, it was like the PSP of its day– a technical powerhouse that parallelled its big bro’s machismo. And even though it was as colorless as ether, it had the games to move units and sold like pancakes at IHOP. 17 years later, the GB line has shifted more product than anyone. As it stands, the GB’s future is questionable wit...

Game Informer has the scoop on the first publicly revealed Revolution game. It’s an FPS from Ubisoft Paris called Red Steel and it looks much better than most fans may expect. Impressively good-looking. Apparently, GI is going to blow the lid off of this game with an 11-page spread in their May issue, which should be getting to subscribers this week. Click below to see the scans, courtesy of...

Do you own a Japanese company and need more people to buy your product? The rules of the game are simple: start a contest that lasts about a month where people who buy your product can punch a code in on the internet to win one of three things. As long as one of these prizes is either an iPod or a DS Lite, your product will be a guaranteed success. A good example? This Habanero (spicy snack food) ...

Just under the platform for the Keihin Tohoku line in Tokyo station there’s a big scrolling Nintendo advertisement that doubles as a wifi download point. I was pretty proud to have accidentally found the place, as Nintendo’s website guiding you to it is somewhat confusing if you’re new to Japan, or even Tokyo station (which is of course massive). Anyway in a week in a half I star...

Now that I’m somewhat settled in my Japanese living situation I’m ready to start posting my findings about Nintendo’s business in the briny east. This baby here is the DS download station in Akihabara where when it’s not apologizing to you for DS shortages, you can download demos of two learning games and play Pokémon Ranger on a DS Lite. This is the second DS lite I saw s...

I don’t know about you, but I have a hard time hooking up with local gamers, especially those with a passion for Nintendo. I know they’re out there, but if they’re anything like me, they’ll be busy with work, family, school, and the like. Enter Nintendo’s wifi connection, and the world suddenly gets a lot smaller. I really enjoyed hooking up with some of you last Wed ...
