Review: Nintendogs (DS)

From the creator of Mario, Donkey Kong, Zelda…Nintendo DS $29.99 Nintendogs is a pet simulation game that plots you as a puppy trainer. There are no bosses and no game endings. Sounds straight forward enough though it’s not the premise of the game that makes it an extreme pleasure. It’s the first class gameplay, new interface mechanics, and slick presentation that make it a hit. ...

Nintendo Patents Sanity

For all you Slashdot readers and Eternal Darkness fans out there, you might already know that Nintendo has gotten it’s patent for a sanity system used in a video game. Although the patent was originally filed back in 2000, looks like the US government has finally granted them with the proprietary rights. Eternal Darkness is one of my all time favs on the GameCube. Imagine the possibilities o...

Nintendo to unveil controller at TGS?

[Update: Sorry folks, this one may have been a little preemptive on our part (even though many sites are reporting). Call it wishful thinking but if Nintendo doesn’t show it at this event, then when?] Well it looks like official reports are coming in and that Nintendo President Satoru Iwata will in fact display the Revolution controller this September 16 at the Tokyo Games Show. That’s...

What Revolution Can Learn From The DS

Has the DS “revolutionized” the portable gaming industry? After looking like idiots while talking to our Nintendogs with ridiculously large smiles, we’re starting to think so. Are you surprised with the handheld’s success? 4CR has posted last weeks system sales with their YTD totals (see below). It’s pretty impressive. How can Nintendo keep impressing and what does it...

Mario Superstar Baseball Reviews

Mario Superstar Baseball gets an average ratio of 77% on game rankings. Why is it that a good number of Mario sports and party games have below 80%, yet they are a blast to play? Now I’m not saying that Mario Superstar Baseball is a great achievement in video game history, but it’s really fun. I guess I just don’t understand the current game rankings system. Here’s my overs...

What is your preferred weapon of choice for playing GBA games? For what reasons? Will that change when the Micro comes?

My Nintendog

So I’ve been playing around with Nintendogs and thought I’d show you my puppy. Meet Dutchess. She’s a black lab and smart as a whistle. I’m gonna come right out and say it; this game, simulation, advanced tamagotchi, or whatever you want to call it is very well done. The presentation is top notch. I’ve never interacted with software quite like I have with this little ...
