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...

NintendoGal points to a LiveJournal with some fan-made Revolution boxes. While not the greatest photoshops in the world, they do look cool.

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”.

My mother has over three hundred different Pez dispensers. And some of them actually feature Mario and the gang, so why would Bandai release six more Mario themed Pez? Well, ’cause these Pez are mini! One of these will set you back 200 yen, which is actually cheaper than your standard American Pez dispenser, especially if they’re new. Now I know what to get for my mom when I go to Japa...
Nintendo VP, Reggie Fils-Aime just confirmed on Spike TV that Zelda: Twighlight Princess has been delayed until fall of this year. “Boo!” about sums up this news.
From the how-to: “So I built a funky alarm clock out of an old Nintendo console. Why? Because I was at Value Village with my girlfriend and my sister, and while they were browsing through miles of clothing the only thing of interest I could find were two broken Nintendo units without paddles, and I had to do something with them.”
Is Nintendo’s Pennant Chase Baseball coming to the Revolution? That’s what some sources are saying. Aussie-Nintendo writes: “A source close to Nintendo, who wishes to remain anonymous, claims Nintendo has a secret up its sleeve when it comes to its exclusive GameCube baseball game, Nintendo Pennant Chase Baseball, which was mysteriously and abruptly ‘delayed indefinitely...
After a sweat-inducing bout of multiplayer Meteos at TGS last Fall, the Inf crew stumbled upon a label-less copy of Feel the Magic and attempted to play it. When Nick tried to rub the screen without a stylus, his DS hissed, rumbled and popped until a blue smoke flowed out from within the speaker holes to form a giant hulking figure. He called himself “Genie”, saying only that he grants...
