In the below Next-Gen article, an author writes regarding GameCube sales: “The ‘Cube’s top two games are an interesting pair. One is arguably the kiddiest games you can buy today (Mario Party 7), another (RE4) one of the most gory and violent games of last year.” While I can appreciate the online mag’s timely industry news and content, I just don’t get this stat...

Nintendo has stepped outside their hideout once again to get some fresh air and to clear up some Rev rumors. The latest rumor was that National Geographic Kids might have revealed some new control details about upcoming franchise sequels or older versions of them. Nintendo had this to say: “What the magazine has done is imagine how existing franchises would work with the Revolution controlle...

Next-Gen analyzes Nintendo’s upcoming Revolution strategy along with the history of controllers. They believe Nintendo, more than anyone, needs a “revolution.” From the article: “The Revolution is a revolution in the sense that it goes all the way back to the beginning. Next Generation looks at the history of game controllers – especially Nintendo’s – and ...

Nice little Revolution scoop at the hands of Joystiq and National Geographic Kids. From the article: “Backwards compatibility is of course something we’ve known about for a while; however, the ‘old favorites’ mention is so provocatively vague! They list The Legend of Zelda, Super Smash Brothers, and Donkey Konga.” The pictured images describe Zelda, Donkey Kong, and S...

I know my English needs some improvement, and I’ll get it as soon as I buy “Eigo ga Nigate Na Otona No DS Toreeningu: Eigo Tsuke” (Steeped in English DS Training for Adults that are no Good at English), for the Nintendo DS. The game lets you practice English with up to eight people (up to four on one cartridge), and the exercises actually require you to write English words and ph...

The Game Boy Advance is finally getting some discounted software lovin’…in Japan. Dubbed the “Value Selection”, its games consist mostly of RPGs and retro compilations, such as Golden Sun and Pac-Man Collection. There are even some RPG/compilation hybrids, like Mother 1+2. Prices for these games are now about half of what they used to be, so it’s a pretty good idea to...

With Mario Kart DS and the NWC having been launched nearly two months ago, head to head multiplayer gaming has never been so intense. Mario Kart provides an amazing experience, online and off. Yet, I’m sure all of you who have play online have experience or used one of the most controversial techniques multiplayer gaming has seen in a long time: snaking. For those of you who don’t know...

Eager to show others how the Revolution controller could work with FPS games, Tim Etler put together a simple but inntuitive Revolution controller Flash demo. There is even a slider for the sensitivity of the controls. Update: There’s also an “i” in the corner. If you click on it, targets appear that you can shoot at and destroy. [Source: Kotaku]

Back in July, this picture surfaced as yet another “leaked” Revolution controller. The only strange aspect of the picture was the large black space on the controller. It was theorized that it could be a touch-screen, but this picture was decried as fake and quickly forgotten. However, in hindsight, doesn’t it look a lot like an early controller shell prototype?

It looks like the rumor started by UK mag, NGC, is in fact just a rumor. Nintendo recently told Eurogamer: “The article in the January edition of NGC Magazine is pure speculation. Nintendo has made no new announcements regarding The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. We can however confirm that the game is still in development and that it will launch on Nintendo GameCube in 2006.” The...
