A majority of Nintendo fans are starving for details on the new Revolution system. Some stand by the wayside and wait for news to trickle in. Others whine and go buy a competing system. But there are those who take matters into their own hands… In this video, the Revolution controller is shown manipulating 3D objects and GameCube games. It’s only a simulation, but it manifests the poss...

In many ways, it seems that Nintendo has already overcome many obstacles from the GC gen. The company has managed to grab media attention and public mindshare while shedding many of the pre-conceived notions about Nintendo.

Animal Crossing: Wild World is a fantastic game, but oh so lonely! The Wifi limits you to visiting/inviting only your friends, which is a bummer, but not so terrible. All it means is we have to take matters into our own hands and fill our friend rosters, be hospitable with our portable towns. Post your friend codes in the comments and mingle.
