It should be noted that DS didn’t suffer a drop in sales during this week. It actually went up thanks...

1up has posted it’s “creative” take on the recent DS title, Lost In Blue. They give the game a 7.5 engaging rating, but I can’t tell if the author is bored with the game by his last drawing. Also, this game was shipped, not available yesterday according to the store that turned me down. Seems like this is happening a lot lately; giving out a ship date rather than an “...

While this title seems to offer more of the same, I’m liking the cowboy twist. The horse scenes even look a little like Link from Twilight Princess, only with chaps on. That alone might get us through till next Spring. Gun launches on 11/08/2005 for the GameCube. View Trailer [Source: Gamespot]

While this is promising news for the company, what can be done to keep this momentum? It appears the hype of the controller lived up to it’s unveiling, but Nintendo still...

Masahiro Sakurai, designer of the Kirby and the recent DS hit Meteos has launched his own game studio named Sora. In a recent Q&A with Edge Online, he talks about coming up with the design behind Meteos. “[Meteos] was created by one designer, one graphic artist and one programmer, and took three days… When I designed Meteos, we didn’t know it would be released on the DS platf...

Apparently, some guy over the weekend tried to get Shiggy to sign a PSP at his NYC appearance. Miyamoto, or at least his rep had the last laugh though. Once they informed him that Shiggy would only be signing “Nintendo products” the kid sheepishly had Miyamoto sign his DS instead. Just disrespectful. But you gotta respect the kid’s cojones. It would have gone for a nice price on ...
