Our anonymous tipster from earlier – we’ll call him “Discreet” – has sent us another email a few minutes ago. Now he says: “I would just like to say that at E3 2006, they will 100% no doubt be revealing a virtual reality gadget that functions with the revolution. The source I got this from also states that Nintendo has been working with E-D in the past and with ...

Remember in the mid-ninties when the Final Fantasy franchise jumped the Nintendo boat and we all thought the company was doomed? Well it seems that with the popularity of the DS in Japan, Nintendo is grabbing some Sony friendly franchises over to it’s side. Here are two big ones, From Software’s Tenchu DS: Dark Shadow and Namco’s Xenosaga I&II. Namco’s Xenosaga site fea...

We’ve received an anonymous tip from a person who claims to have the Revolution model prototype. Not the dev kits we have been discussing this week, but the casing shown in all the pictures. He or she says it was very light because it lacks any components inside, but the blue light worked.

IGN are checking they’re Revolution sources again, and this time they say Revolution SDKs are selling for about $2,000, which is thousands of dollars cheaper than PSP development, believe it or not. They weren’t kidding about that whole low dev cost thing. IGN Revolution spoke to 6 studios around the globe for further details on the kits. They’ve said that 3 revisions of the kits...

While it was rumored that Reggie said in his recent Spike TV interview that the original DS would be phased out, I never saw it on the video feed.

This week, an anonymous reader explains why Nintendo truly is an “And” company. “Anonymous said… Next week, I will be buying the DS lite here in Japan, and my fiancee wants one too because of Eigo Zuke the “Rock CD” game… She wants to perfect her English using Japanese software. Nintendo is beyond games, they are innovating the way people learn about diffe...

The Legend of Zelda series is officially 20 years old today, and it didn’t even use the Master Sword to warp ahead. On this day 20 years ago, the Japanese got the first taste of what became Nintendo’s most important hardcore franchise– and only half of those 2 decades were spent on the Twilight Princess’ development cycle.
