While perusing IGN, we came across word that the DS smash hit Meteos will be developed for mobile phones. No word on how the game will work sans two screens and a stylus, but it should be interesting to see how it turns out. This game is still kicking my trash. [Source: IGN]

If you check out the current survey results which run through this Friday, only about 23% plan on buying a Micro for $99 at the time of this writing. Joystiq’s survey had about 15% willing to buy the system. Is the Micro price not micro enough? Will Nintendo miss the boat on this pricing strategy? Has the company mispriced systems in the past? Numbers this low can’t be a good thing, ev...
Have you ever wondered what the heck Infendo stands for? If so, gather round for a little self indulgence and useless information on this fine Monday. As a youngling, Game Informer was one of my favorite video game magazines. This was before “cyberspace” was around so good magazines were the only source for news, reviews, cheats, and screenshots for us kiddies. I always liked the idea ...
Monty Phan from the Star Tribune can’t put his DS down. “This is how I tell the difference between the PlayStation Portable and its rival handheld game machine, the Nintendo DS: I haven’t picked up my PSP in months, while lately I haven’t been able to put down my DS.” There are so many good games right now for the DS, and there’s a lot more on the way. Be on the...
A slew of sites are quoting “someone” from the Nintendo pre-Christmas party as saying: “Capcom and Nintendo are as close as ever, which is why it was also confirmed that what a few of us had suspected is true- Resident Evil 5 has yet to be announced for the Revolution purely because details of the system are not publicly available. There will be good news on this front, worry ye ...
Well, this past week was a lot closer. Most of you agreed that the Zelda delay and a Revolution delay are the worst, followed by a tie of the Nintendogs commercial and$99 Micro price. Make sure to place your vote for this weeks survey.
THQ is developing “games for Revolution.” They are another in the growing list of publishers signing on with the system. Want to know the cool thing. These guys know what the system is capable of. Maybe not everything, but you gotta believe they know a lot. The company president was also quoted as saying “We’re seeing more from Nintendo now [for Revolution] than we have an ...
[Reviewed by Chris] All too often does one hear complaints about our favorite red hatted plumber being overused. However, those who call Mario out before playing Mario Superstar Baseball are the ones truly striking out. Mario’s first time on the diamond is easily on of the best in the Mario sports series. The game stars nearly all the big names from the Mushroom Kingdom, Mario, Luigi, Bowser...
We know that the DS will use Gamespy technology for it’s wi-fi infrastructure. I would imagine the same would be true for the Revolution’s service. Well News Corporation, which is the parent company of Fox, has closed a deal to purchase IGN and it’s family of sites including Gamespy for $650 million. No word on if this will affect the Nintendo relationship, but here’s to ho...
Nintendo Power is currently counting down the best 200 Nintendo games of all time. While this is insanely subjective, the “worst” category isn’t so much. NP cites Superman on the N64 as the worst Nintendo game ever. Maybe, but my money is on Jaws for the original NES… Horrible. What’s your worst game ever?
So I just got done watching Agassi beat James Blake in a killer 5 set match at the US Open. And I began to wonder: How come Nintendo systems are lacking when it comes to simulation tennis titles? Sure we got the always fun Mario titles (with Tennis Advance coming out next month), but it seems like the Xbox and PS2 have had some really good ones. And the Xbox 360 has the wicked good looking Top Spi...
