As most of you know, Digital Life was held all throughout last weekend. Essentially it’s the poor man’s tech and game exhibit. Here’s some highlights: The DS demos were hard to find because Nintendo was doing a cross promotion section that was hidden near the back. Super Mario Strikers was the game that got itself a crowd here. It is a fantastically fun arcadey soccer game, exact...

From IGN: “The Rumble Pak, called quite simply the Rumble Pak, vibrates when the Nintendo DS tells it to. Code within DS software will trigger the innerworkings of the cartridge to spin and vibrate, which, in turn, causes the Nintendo DS system to vibrate as well.” The rumble pack, spared no expense, will ship with Metroid Prime Pinball next week for the Nintendo DS. Any takers out the...

Now, hindsight’s 20/20, but looking back, most gamers can agree that Nintendo could have done things differently with the Gamecube. The system has found its way to the bottom of the 3 console race in the US, and with the next generation of gaming just around the corner, odds are, the GCN will stay there. However, for the folks at Nintendo, the sun has not yet set on the GCN. It seems likely ...

Looks like the Nintendo Power Line (425-885-7529) , Nintendo’s new game counseling hotline number, has some Revolution launch info. When you choose to hear about Revolution, the introduction states: “As the company with the strongest heritage of innovation, Nintendo moves the bar for all next-gen systems by employing a wide-ranging strategy that will attract more kinds of gamers to mor...

You gotta love a system war. Some pro-Nintendo handheld fans have made a video depicting the handheld war from the perspective of the systems themselves. While it was made way back in July, it’s still relevant to the current situations of both handhelds and very funny. Watch It! [by Rollin]

The official portable of the US Navy…

Most people heard of this one, but it might have been overlooked due to the large number of the then up and coming choice games to be released on the DS. Yeah Nintendo had some TV spots running after the title launched in mid June, but it seems like Kirby: Canvas Curse for the DS slipped through many a people’s radar, mine included. I just played the game for the first time this week. It is ...
