I have a good friend that only plays the Gameboy Advance, and he’s always playing it. That’s easy to do with the handheld’s huge library of games but it’s interesting because that’s the only system he’ll play. No DS. No GameCube. No nothing. He grew up on the NES and SNES but lost interest in gaming when it started to creep into the 3D world. Rather than a Ninte...

This year, 11,000 kids were surveyed after being allowed to play 63 titles setup in a special Toy Test arcade in Seattle....

A majority feel that Nintendo’s pending “expand the market” strategy with the Revolution is the right idea. That kinda blends in with what “they doin” now, but I think we can expect some more strategic changes as the Revolution release approaches. Any ideas? Thanks for voting and let us know how important Nintendo’s Wi-Fi service is to you in this week’s s...

A moderator on the Nintendo Forum has posted the following: “You are not permitted to share your NWC id or friend code on a post, in your profile, through PM, or in a sig. Please do not discuss other ways of sharing codes either. This policy was created by Nintendo of America and we have been asked to follow these rules.” That doesn’t make much sense. Why have a unique ID number,...

In an interview with Gpara, Hiroshishi Matsuoka, creator of the Wario Ware series, confirms that he is working on new titles for both the Revolution and the Nintendo DS. Could this be the first mention of Wario Ware Revolution? [Source: Cubed3]

The latest information on Zelda: Twilight Princess is that the game will feature 100+ hours of gameplay. If that is the case, this will be longest Zelda ever and a nice finish for the GameCube. [Source: Joystiq]

Joystiq recently asked their readers to send in DS mock-ups. They posted a bunch of the mock-up pics, but here’s my favorite:

In a recent interview with Shacknews, Will Wright, creator of the Sims, had some positive words for the Revolution. “I’m really interested in the Revolution to see how the controller works out. That looks pretty cool. It looks very interesting to me. I like the idea of taking the games more outside the box and more into that close-body kind of space.” [Source: Joystiq]

In a collabo with N-Sider, Nintendo of America has announced a 32-player Mario Kart DS tournament. The registration ends sometime next week so you better get over there. Of all the people registered, 32 will be chosen at random to race in the tourney in December. Prizes range from the Mario Kart stylus pictured a couple posts below for the last few places, and a Game Boy Micro (sans flames) with s...

This is just wrong. You’ve got to appreciate the Jimmy Hendrix inference though.

So, you’ve got a DS; you’ve got games; you even have a WiFi dongle; what now? Why not upgrade your stylus. The Nintendo of Japan website has a stylin stylus that will give you a better grip on things. My translation is a little rough, but I think the page says “Very cool, colorful stylus for you.” Actually, now that I look at it, I think it only holds your stylus. It’...
