The Japanese masses have shown their support for the newly released DS Lite. The portable was sold out even before stores opened. From the article: “With the Japanese DS Lite launch on Thursday morning, 3/2, Nintendo has embraced launch carnage like the good old days of Super Famicom and N64. Forget about selling out minutes after opening — the DS Lite was sold out hours before opening...

Props to whomever modded this NES into a fully functional Mac Mini (the Intel version? Nah). Apparently, the power button is used to send the Mac into sleep mode and the reset button ejects the “Divida” er, I mean DVD. Nice work!

Most if not all who are reading this very post dig Nintendo in some way or another. The company is a tough publisher to beat in the charismatic and fun departments and tend to deliver a large number of quality games (although sparingly at times). That said, are there any Nintendo converts out there? For example, did you used to prefer another system over Ninty’s in the past before making a f...

Lik-Sang puts it best regarding the soon-to-be released DS Lite in their hands-on impressions of the new handheld: “The new edition has for sure a fashionable look, and appears more modern than the previous model… All in all, a well done piece of hardware is what it is.” Must get new DS Lite (spoken in my best Nintendo zombie buying voice).

So here’s the story: our pal Nintendo Gal posted a downloadable video file of Children of Mana recently. Then, looking at her stats, she saw that screenshot-loving site Jeux-France hotlinked to her video file, forcing her pay $5 to increase her bandwidth. So what does she do? She switches the video, of course. And not with just another trailer, either… Click the source link to see the ...

Great news for DS gamers today. Nintendo has released a DS download station. You know, the kind that let’s you download a game demo free and playable so long as you leave your DS powered on (expect sleep mode use to greatly increase). From the article: “Though they weren’t due until next month, an avid Flickr user has discovered that the Nintendo DS download stations are already ...

Super Princess Peach hits the DS this week in platforming style. Here’s the cute teeny-bobber commercial that’s hitting the airwaves this week.

Konami’s upcoming DS game “MarHeaven Märchen Awakens Romance: Caldea’s Evil Demon” is based off of an Anime that features a character who looks strikingly similar to a popular Squaresoft character from the game “Final Fantasy VII.” All illustration bashing aside, the game is being touted as a Ärm Touch RPG, which is explained by a Japanese Nintendo site as an ...

And XBox and PS2. But that’s not why we’re here. This is actually the first Sonic game to come around in a while that I’m actually excited about. Not only did the game get some sort of gold award in Japan’s Famitsu magazine, but it also has a fancy anime intro made by the illustrious production I.G. Plus Sonic Riders appears to be one of those special games that ditches eve...

So DS Advanced has posted a patent they found on the US Patent & Trademark Office’s webpage of a touch-screen input technology that Nintendo made in July of 2004 and filed for a year later. It’s difficult to say weather or not the patent is for something coming out in the future, like a 3rd DS redesign, or if these schematics are some old plan, eclipsed by the DS Lite. The patent m...

If you’re patiently waiting for March 2nd to get a (Japanese) DS Lite – or import one – i hope you like Crystal White. Due to manufacturing problems, the Enamel Navy and Ice Blue colored systems have been delayed to the 11th. Not so huge a delay, but if you’ve been holding your breath for one of those 2 colors, it might be a good idea to take a quick gasp for air. Thanks Jo...
