Just in time for the Aussie Open, 2K Sports will be releasing Top Spin 2 for the DS and GBA. You can never have to many tennis games ’cause frankly there aren’t that many. I’ve been a fan starting with the original NES Tennis but since then it’s been one of the most underrated genres out there. Always a blast to play so be on the lookout November 14 for these two bad boys s...

With the launch of Nintendo’s wi-fi splash page, the company has the makings ready for their online system. What features do you hope they have when the system/site launches this November? Free never seemed so good…[Source: Nintendo] Thanks Chris!

Two days ago I bought myself a Game Boy Micro. At first I was kinda regretting it because it cost so much and I didn’t get any new games to play on it. The teeny screen took some serious getting used to after being weaned on the twice-its-size DS screens. Not to mention the buttons were smaller than I expected. After a while though, it started to click. The size and weight are just admirable...

I wish we had some US figures for you, but until then, these will have to do. From 9/19 – 9/25, the Micro dropped two spots from first in sales to third, slightly behind the PSP. Here’s the breakdown: HARDWARE:NDS 68,123PSP 50,629GBM 46,529PS2 25,518GBASP 12,483GCN 2,267GBA 448XBX 98 Even given the drop, it’s apparent that Nintendo handhelds are doing very well in Nippon. For wha...

I just got done watching the Zelda: Twilight Princess trailer for about the umpteenth time. While it reminded me of the delay, it also made me realize that Nintendo probably did it with the game’s best interest in mind. Here’s why: I think it’s fair to say that Nintendo has already taken the spotlight from Microsoft’s pending 360 release in November, at least for now. But t...

Hear what BBC has to say about Nintendo’s Revolution and it’s competition in Europe. More of the same, but you can definitely get a sense for what our friends across the pond are thinking (at least the media). The article also points out the PSP’s success in the UK. How’s that favoring now? [Source: BBC]

For fans of the dark Gouichi Suda that made Killer 7, Capcom is working on a new RPG for the DS. The game, entitled Contact, is said to have a lighter vibe that resembles Nintendo’s Earthbound and it will tell a different story on each of the handheld’s two screens. Contact will launch in Japan this February. Though likely, no word on a US release has been announced. What DS games are ...

“I certainly hope [the controller will be beneficial]. More of the same thinking in terms of developing the future of games can only take us so far. As a lifelong gamer and game developer, I urge everybody in our industry to support the innovation and risks taken by Nintendo on sheer principle. We always lament that there is no creativity and innovation in the games industry anymore. Guys, w...

During the week of September 12-18 in Japan, the DS returned to a spot on the sales charts they haven’t seen for months: #2. However, they shouldn’t complain as it was knocked down a spot by their latest handheld, the Game Boy Micro, which sold through a staggering 170,000 units. It should be noted that DS didn’t suffer a drop in sales during this week. It actually went up thanks...

For a while now, gamers have wondered just what Square Enix’s World of Mana project would entail. A teaser site went up a few months back, but offered no details. Today, Japanese magazine Jump has cleared some of the fog. Two new titles have been announced through the mag, one being a long presumed DS RPG. Titled Seiken Densetsu DS: Children of Mana, the game is a 2D action-RPG scheduled for...
