IGNIQ is claiming to have received an anonymous email hinting at who knows what. The post, while vague, has some interesting insights, such as what the docking station is used for, and how the Rev’s small size could have some functionality. I must say, all this speculation is insane. Nintendo better bring the heat later this year if they want to live up to all this hype and talk. “We c...

Word on the street is that Zelda: Twilight Princess is scheduled for a November 14th US release. Our friends across the pond can expect it by the 25th. I wonder when we’ll find out about the pre-order details. Any reason this won’t be the game of the year? [Source: Amazon via Cubed]

The GameCube is a great system. The games that have graced it are some of the best ever. But at the end of this cycle, I’m left wondering. Why did it place third? Did purple hurt it’s sales and give the brand a bad image from the start? Granted, I know a lot more than just a color goes into a successful product, but maybe it did have an adverse effect. Penny for your thoughts?

Beyond Good & Evil (Ubisoft) This is a very good game and one I overlooked. Released in November of 2003, I found it while searching Amazon recommendations. It was posted on the Wind Waker page as a similar game. The game has excellent voice acting and superb music. It has some really unique gameplay while retaining traditional power ups and item functionality. That together makes for a very w...

While perusing Flickr, I came across this interesting photo. Looks like the SP is getting jealous with all this micro talk. While it would be cool if functional, it’s probably just a Japanese keychain.

In the August issue of EGM, the magazine has an article on the GameCube’s upcoming releases. The way the article reads, they make it sound like the Cube is the only console with a shortage of games during this it’s last year. I didn’t know it, but I guess the PS2 and Xbox are just bursting with great games right now (cough, cough). Isn’t a slow down always expected during a...

I would be interested to know how Nintendo came up with the concept of an Italian plumber called Mario. I mean, really. How/why did they opt for that concept? Any insider information lingering out there?

According to the exhibitors list on the show’s website, Nintendo won’t be there. When will they show the goodness that is the Revolution with it’s accompanying controller? CVG is reporting that Nintendo does tend to skip this show to host it’s own event later in the summer, so hopefully they’ll show the final system and controller then. Still, we’re dying here&#...

The Nintendo DS rocked the Japanese video game hardware market again in June. It surpassed PS2 sales by 120,000 units making it by far the best selling system over there. That makes three months in a row that the DS has led Japanese hardware sales. It will be interesting to see the US numbers for June.[Source: MSN Japan]

According to Gamespot, Microsoft (via Rare) are developing dowloadable games for the DS. Apparently there are listings on Rare’s UK site seeking DS developers. Fine by me. Didn’t Microsoft get their start in software after all?

I actually feel silly posting this cause it looks so ridiculous (we’re talking sharpy fake here). We received this image last night via email that puts an emphasis on the “v” in Revolution. It turns out that in December 2004 Nintendo did in fact register what they call “V Pocket”. Could the Revolution controller be the V pocket? If you got more info, let the commentin...
