4 color rebellion has posted probably the coolest photo ever in order to illustrate the upcoming knight-hood of (soon to be) “Sir” Shigeru Miyamoto. Oh yeah, game designers Michel Ancel and Frédérick Raynal will also be knighted, but there are no cool pictures of them on the sight. Le sigh. I really hope all of Miyamoto’s following games have his name in big shiny gold letter&#...

This just goes without saying. Very nice art depicting the Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft “battle.” Via Flickr.

[Update: To clarify, “chump meter” is a nickname for what’s called the Connection Percentage. Everyone starts out with 100%, then that number lowers as you drop out or more and more matches.] Nintendo apparently listens to consumer complaints, because in Metroid Prime Hunters’ wifi mode, players will have a “Chump” statistic that tells others of their sour quitt...

There are seven different train stations scattered about Japan with DS download access points where you can get what the Japanese website calls “Really Fast Ghost Data.” The courses are either ROB on Mushroom Highway or Yoshi on Peach Circuit. Of other interest is an ongoing time trial tournament that’s run similarly to the internet ranking system used in a lot of Konami music ga...

For those of you that have yet to check out the Nintendo World Store in New York City, Kotaku has recently posted a whole bunch of photos of different store goodies, from the Nintendo Van to custom GBA’s and DS’s. My personal favorite is the deck of hanafuda cards under glass that Nintendo used to manufacture before they started creating games. Apparently hanafuda style card-games are ...

Kevin over at the Revolution Lifestyle has posted a preview of the UK’s Official Nintendo Magazine. The article claims that “huge Zelda update[s]” are on the way, including “new screens and [game] details.” But what could it be? Oh, what could it be? Any guesses from you savvy readers?

Nintendo President Satoru Iwata was interviewed by a Japanese newspaper, Sankei Shinbun, and had this to say regarding the Revolution’s release date: “We can’t disclose the Revolution’s release period yet, but we have no plans to miss out on the year-end sales battle. As for North America, we need to release it by Thanksgiving, or otherwise we won’t receive support fr...

Cabel has got some sweet new pics and a quick video review of the Nintendo DS Lite. Note: the post got digged, so I could only load half the video review. Bummer.

For a measely ten shells you can now get your very own DS rumble pack through Nintendo’s online store. Right now the peripheral works with, of course, Metroid Pinball and also Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. I’m sure now that the Pak is available for such a low price, 3rd party game companies will aslo jump on the rumbling band wagon, so start scanning the packaging of new DS game...

Update: Sorry, I just read that the contest ends February 15th. I guess it’s pretty old, but I would still love to hear about your dream game. Revolution Report and tech site Philoneist have teamed up to host the Revolution Dream Game Concept Contest. Get over there and submit your dream Revolution game idea for a chance to win a $50 Amazon giftcard. Hmmm… I have two good ideas that yo...

UPDATE: The tips form is working in all its original glory. Sorry for any inconvenience this tip-angle may have caused over the past couple days. Big thanks to Nic for the fix. As of yesterday, the tips form hasn’t been sending us your emails, unfortunately. Crap. We don’t know what the problem is yet, but we’re working on it. Please bear with us. Any tips you may have sent, re-s...

Holy crap, you’re kidding me, right? Those schaefs over at Infendo finally updated their poll. That’s right folks, we’ve got a new one after all this time (and yes Resident Evil 4 won by 46% out of 620 votes last time). This week, let’s take an assessment of where Infendo readers spend their hardware money. Thanks to all that gently reminded us of a new poll, and as always,...
