Spring for Japan, Summer for US?

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...

PSP vs DS Video

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]

Under Rated: Kirby DS

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 ...

Revolution Gaining Ground in Polls

Who doesn’t like polls? A lot of people, actually, but here’s a new one. It’s another from Japan asking people what they think of the next-gen systems. PS3 is still leading the pack, but Nintendo’s Revolution has gained ground. The results are very in-depth and and aren’t a simple “Which do you like best” affair. It breaks down to things like approval of t...

Revolution in Spring?

Nintendo’s recently released 6-month financial report contained a Revolution hint that seems to have gone over almost everyone’s heads. When they cited Revolution development as a cause for the low profits, they also mentioned that they were targeting Spring 2006 for a Japanese launch. I don’t know why no one’s taken notice, but this is a big deal. This puts it almost side ...
