…but it isn’t the PS3. It’s actually the PS2. According to Razoric, a tipster who claims to work for Adobe/Macromedia had this to say: “Got some PS2 info if you’re interested too. Sony intend to make it their ”˜Revolution Killer’. They’re working on tying in Eyetoy and some kind of controller similar to the Revolution controller. With a 100M+ userbase, ten...

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. Virgin is reporting that the DS Lite will in fact replace the original, which makes sense. From the article: “The original Nintendo DS is set to be dropped later this year in favor of the recently announced DS Lite. Reggie Fils-Aime, Nintendo of A...

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. We kid because we love.

Jumping those hills on Nintendo’s classic Excitebike for the NES never seem to get old. Long live the jumping a la Legos.

From the Engadget interview: “Microsoft and Sony strategies are based on overall corporate objectives versus what?’s right for the consumer. That’s a reality. Microsoft is essentially trying to get you to put a PC in your living room because they are fundamentally a PC software company. Sony is trying to get you to put an entertainment hub that has Blu-ray technology because that...

I don’t know exactly when Nintendo posted their new Japanese commercial for the DS Lite but it sure is concise. It basically shows every single application the DS has to offer in a matter of seconds. Watching this commercial, I get the feeling that Nintendo isn’t trying to market the DS as an upgrade to an existing product, but is using the new design to re-market the DS concept in gen...

The Mother 3 gifts keep unwrapping on the official site. This week, Shigesato Itoi has given us 3 new, wonderfully 2D-licious screens and shots of the Mother 3 edition GBMicro. Follow the source to get a look at the box and screens.

NintendoGal points to a LiveJournal with some fan-made Revolution boxes. While not the greatest photoshops in the world, they do look cool. That blue line is something i’ve always thought Nintendo would use in their marketing. Here’s hoping they do. Follow the link for more pics. [Update: Fixed the source. Thanks NintendoGal!]

Japanese website Nintendo Inside has a preview-type article up of both the DS Lite and the concurrently forthcoming game which I’ve decided to call “Think Fast Puzzloop”. The game and system are now available to play via the “Touch! Try! DS!” kiosks throughout Japan, and I will try my best to dilligently and accurately translate the Nintendo Inside article reviewing t...
