New Lost in Magic (DS) Screens

For all you RPG faithful, Taito has released some new screens for their upcoming DS game, Lost in Magic. The game is looking very stylistic indeed and is also rumored (according to Famitsu) to utilize Nintendo’s wifi network. Spared no expense of course thanks to Ninty. Nice… [Source: Revo-Europe]

Revolution for $99?

A lot of forums have been hinting at a $99 Revo price tag, including some game sites. Before you get all giddy it should be known that Nintendo has never launched a new home console that cheap and they would be missing out on some nice profits if they did that. Just think about their Micro pricing strategy and how they’re more than likely gonna drop it’s MSRP by Christmas. Fact or Fict...

GameBoy DS Bricker

Reports are circulating about a malware that will render your DS useless. Most of us don’t have to worry, but if you run a lot of homebrew on your DS, stay on the lookout. [source: TehSkeen]

GameCube Sales Weaken

According to Forbes, “The company slashed its forecast of operating profit and sales owing to the slump in sales of its home-use stand-alone game consoles.” GameCube sales fell short of predictions, primarily due to poor sales in the US. ‘This is because the product life-cycle of our Gamecube is coming to an end,’ Nintendo spokesman Yasuhiro Minagawa said. If you’re c...

Survey Results

The Original (black) wins by 40% of voters. While I understand you 33% liking the white, I can only imagine how the controller/remote would look after hours of gameplay. Anyone ever seen a well used iPod? Regardless, thanks for voting and be sure to check out this weeks poll on your opinion of how Nintendo is doing. [Source: Infendo]

Wi-Fi Software

Kotaku has a screenshot of the wi-fi software that will drive Nintendo’s new gaming network. Of course it will be translated into English for us North American and UK blokes. Apparently, when the WiFi USB peripheral is inserted, the DS is able to go online. Before this happens, a pop-up window appears on both screens, guiding the player through the process and asking for their access point. ...

Nintendo Spotting

At your local thrift store: curling iron, hair dryer, hair dryer, NES zapper… All in the same department.

Fusion Tour Impressions

Since E3, all the chatter’s been about Twilight Princess. From the delay, to new screens, if there are two things the Nintendo community is excited about; those things are no doubt the Revolution and Zelda. So, I decided to see what the buzz was all about. No, I haven’t played with the Revo, but I did get out to the local Nintendo Fusion Tour stop, and experience some of Nintendo’...

WiFi Network Announced

Nintendo shot off a press release detailing their North America WiFi plans. The majority of it is straight forward news that had already been released, but one part stuck out to me: Outside of the home, players will be able to connect in a variety of ways, including at thousands of free Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection hotspots nationwide. More details about these hotspots and how to connect outside of t...

GameBoy Micro Secret Jack

A clever GameBoy Micro owner, John Tokash, discovered a secret/hidden jack on his GBM. He speculates that it could be used for a smart faceplate. My guess is that it’s for a Micro VR helmet (I’m only joking), what do you think it does? Is it on your Micro? [Source: Gizmodo]

Canadian Micro TV Spot

It looks like everwhere but the US gets good Nintendo commercials. Here’s a spot for a Canadian Micro commercial. It’s edgy and funny, but it also gives me the creeps.

Revolution Controller Charger

IGN has posted a concept of what it thinks a Revolution controller charging cradle could look like. The real story here is that we keep seeing Revolution concepts. It seems like Nintendo’s next console is not only generating excitement but also flaming people’s imaginations. Personally, I like to imagine more exciting things than a charging cradle, but the mock-up is nicely done. [Sour...
