[In case you missed it, FireEmblem54 shares his thoughts on the sleeper of a DS title that is Phoenix Wright.] So many things come to mind when the word ?”court?” is brought up. It’s a very serious place, which deals with very serious situations. Yet, somehow, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney manages to deliver one of the most enjoyable experiences in long time, while still dealing w...

A marketing company is circulating an online survey for Nintendo asking gamers for their opinions about the Revolution’s Virtual Console. What most stands out is that the survey lists three pricing models: “Game purchase. You may be able to buy retro games and save them to the Nintendo Revolution’s memory, so they are always available. Game rental. You may be able to rent games f...

This past Saturday I participated in an “in the Groove” tournament in Orange County, and between matches people would whip out their DSes for a quick game of Mario Kart, or a Pictochat. The atmosphere of eight people playing on their DSes at once was pretty interesting to behold, especially in a crowded arcade filled with loud stomping noises. The ratio of colors was about 4 red, 2 gra...

The classic puzzler will be released March 20 and will use the NWC for multiplayer battles. From the release: “Some modes give players special Tetris puzzles to solve. Others feature head-to-head action between two players, or massive wireless battles between 10 DS users, even if only one player has a game card. Players also can log onto Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection to compete in two- or four-p...

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...
