I’ve heard decent things about the service, so I’m anxious to see when they would start allowing game trades. Currently, for about $1, you can swap a DVD with another user. Would you do the same with your video games?

If you haven’t already seen it running live, here’s the Monkey Ball DS trailer. The game looks surprisingly smooth and quick. Always a must with Monkey Ball games. Can we get this with Nintendo wi-fi please?… [Source: Game Trailers]

Okay, not everything but it really seems to be infiltrating all the news networks and people are liking what they see. In addition to kind words, the article brings to light Nintendo’s recent PR mantra: ...

How will the Revolution controller affect your favorite franchise? Be it Mario, Zelda, Metroid, or DK, it’s sure to spice’n up the interface scene and changes should be expected.
