Revo-Europe has 20 screenshots up of the DS sequel to my favorite tennis game ever. What’s remarkable is how incredibly awesome Top Spin 2 looks on the DS. Full 3D, very detailed players, nicely rendered courts. Look out for it come April. Check the rest out through the link. [Source: Revo-Europe]

CNET caught up with Reg-diddy for an interview and here are some notable one-liners: “The buzz for the DS is huge and growing, and the most anticipated handheld titles are on our platform, not on Sony’s.” “The fact is this: On a worldwide basis in the home console area, we are the No. 2 player. Here in the United States, if you look at today, we are the No. 3 player, so I u...

That’s right, expect the Revolution to hit US stores before the holidays. Nintendo President Satoru Iwata was quoted as telling a Japanese magazine, “We can’t talk about Revolution’s release date, but we don’t want to miss the year-end sales battle. In the U.S., we must release it by Thanksgiving, or retailers won’t give us the support we need.” [Source: N...

This is what happens when you play too much Mario Kart DS. Rappateng, we don’t know who you are, but you’ve got one heck of a photostream. Keep ’em coming.

You’ll be entered to win one of 50 sweet Micros like the one pictured above along with a copy of Donkey Kong Country 3. Winners will be picked on January 29th.

This is the funniest gaming related video i’ve seen in a long while. It’s not just a dumb GameCube bashing, so don’t be afraid to watch. It’s actually very hilarious. Brace yourselves, fanboys. Video here. [source: 4cr]

The Seattle Times writes: “Nintendo of America wants to expand… The maker of such video-game icons as Mario and Luigi of Super Mario Bros. fame and Donkey Kong wants to add more than 550,000 square feet of building area on its property at the northeast corner of Northeast 51st Street and 148th Avenue Northeast, according to city planning documents. In return, the city hopes Nintendo fo...

Joystiq has a nice thread going regarding the GameCube’s progressive scan/s-video feature going unoticed. From the article: “It’s not widescreen, but it’s in progressive scan on 90% of the Nintendo titles, and a good amount of non-Nintendo titles… All you have to do is load the game up holding down the ‘B-button’ and it’ll ask you if you want to enab...

Since it was launched in Japan back in September, Tamagotchi no Puchi Puchi Omissecchi (Tamagotchi: Corner Shop) has been selling quite well. The game recently hit the 1 million mark, making it the first 3rd party DS title to do so. Only Animal Crossing, Brian Training and Brain Flex (both Japan only titles at this point) have done so as well. Do we have a sleeper hit on our hands?? Personally, I ...

So the DS redesign was a rumor. Next-gen writes: “Rumors have been circulating the Internet regarding a sleeker, redesigned DS in the same vein as the GameBoy Advance to GameBoy Advance SP revision. While expected eventually, Nintendo said that a new DS model won’t be coming as soon as rumors indicated.” If not now, when? Let us all summon the collective goodness that is the Infe...
