Some exciting announcements were released today in a Nintendo press release regarding Mario Kart DS multi-player details. If you don’t own the cartridge, no worries. Nintendo will let you download a limited selection of 8 100cc engine tracks playable with 2-8 players. You’ll only get to race with ShyGuy though. I was a little disappointed to hear only 2-4 players can play simultaneousl...

The majority of you voted Zelda as the most beloved franchise. Many, myself included, were very upset, even livid when Link’s next adventure was postponed from next month until spring of 2006. If I could play only one game next year it would be, without a doubt, Zelda. I might even consider passing up the chance to play the Revolution in place of getting my grubby hands on a copy of Twilight...

Ever since hiting North America, the “Wars” series has come to be known for its phenomenal turn-based strategy setup. However, fans of the GBA and DS games searching for that design will be disappointed to find it’s nowhere to be found in Battalion Wars. The series has taken the huge jump from handheld strategy, to become a real time action game. Though Battalion Wars strays from...

Here’s what happens when you dress up like Link and hit a small Tennessee town up for some laughs. I didn’t know link wore a green polo and liked cheddar cheese… Watch The Video [Source: Extra Life]

There have been plenty lining up to point fingers at Nintendo. Many non-believers are sharpening their logic throwing out arguments against the Revolution. Everything from lack of third party support to being just plain wierd have been sited as potential causes for the complete downfall of Nintendo’s home console legacy. Sure, there are many reason why Nintendo’s new console could fail...

A few guys are doing what they call a “social experiment” and frankly it’s pretty funny. The group is going to pre-order a Revolution, and after picking it up on the day of the release, will unbox the thing and smash it in front of fanboys alike. Yeah, “social experiment” is about right. They will be video taping the incident along with the same for an iPod, 360 and P...

A Nintendo DS version of the King Kong game has surfaced today, coupled with screenshots, and it’s not a GBA port! It’s in full 3D and looks like it will emulate all the segments of its console brethren such as first-person action with Jack Driscoll and 3rd person fisticuffs with Kong. It looks really good and is the first console/handheld game for DS that actually looks the part. [by ...

If you’ve been gaming on a handheld at all in recent years, the most trusted and prevalent series you could find was Castlevania. Outside of the occasional Metroid, Castlevania contained the solid-est mix of 2D adventure and action available. Now that the series has moved to the DS, the song remains the same– Dawn of Sorrow is awesome. While engaging, the story ain’t so much the ...
