Started in Kyoto, Japan, by Fusajiro Uamauchi, the business ...

In case you didn’t already know, this is a Nintendo news site. I thought the DS or GBA might pull an upset, but I was proven wrong.

But there’s not five or six buttons to give you all of these functions, so maybe they will compensate but tilting one way for blocking or another way for attac...

At the end of the month Nintendo is slated to release a ton of non-games and casual games that are intended to appeal to their growing audience of both older gamers and also female gamers. None of these games, however, are playable on the new dusty pink GBA SP. Why? Because they’re all for the DS. Believe me, I am more than glad that Nintendo is deciding to release their systems in pink (DS ...

The British Gaming Blog has come to save us from the constant back-and-forth between ambiguous, official Nintendo word and fan speculation– Twilight Princess will work with the Revolution’s controller. After kinda dismissing NGC’s old Twilight Princess/Rev story a few months back, it seemed as if Nintendo and magazines were at odds. Now, Shigeru ‘Don’t-call-me-SirR...

Beyond Good & Evil, the cult classic for current-gen consoles, is rumored to have a sequel in development for the Revolution.

Here’s the recent Japanese hardware sales. DS selling well is an understatement. A precursor of things to come for the Revolution? Let’s hope so. DS Lite: 68,438 Phat DS: 49,118 PSP: 43,110 PS2: 25,778 GBA SP: 5,493 GB Micro: 3,213 Gamecube: 1,489 Xbox 360: 1,240 Xbox: 101 GBA: 98 [via DS Fanboy]

Compared to the ergonomic evolution of Nintendo’s home console controllers, the handheld realm is really lacking. FatBits writes: “Let’s take a step back. These are handheld game machines. You hold them in your hand. How many years will it take before someone realizes that sharp-edged rectangular solids are not ideal for gripping?… Think hands, people. It’s all about ...
