Nintendo haters? It’s time to fess up, shut up, or grow up
It’s pretty crazy to think about it, but E3, with all its Wii Music-induced Nintendo-is-the-end-of-gaming paranoia, was about two months ago now. And, as predicted, the cacophony of rhetoric and vocal minority-driven criticism has subsided, only to be replaced with cold, hard facts. Facts like Wario Land: Shake It and Mega Man 9, which will no doubt revolutionize and modernize 2-D platform g...
Pokémon Stamp Rally arrives to crowd city-wide public transportation
Dear America, Do you want to cause a REVOLUTION? Do you want to create chaos among the populous and fill every public train with rabid children itching to spend money just to utilize your travel services? It’s easy — just ask Nintendo for some back-up! In Tokyo this weekend saw the beginning of the Pokémon Stamp Rally, a yearly event where kids are encouraged to ride government-run tr...
Hey E3: Change or die (preferably die)
By and large, most of the major publishers phoned in their presentations at E3. There were bright spots all around (yes, even in Nintendo’s presser), but permeating all the news, regardless of your own feelings about the show, Nintendo, or otherwise, was the stink of failure.

Forgive me a moment for being so pompous, and for the unabashedly bombastic headline. I’m in full fanman mode this week, and I smell blood.

Now, it’s with a follow-up: an accurate real-world depiction of just how powerful Nintendo’s slow cooker game strategy is, and...
Pokémon MMO, being made by fans.
While cruising around the internet today, I happened to stumble upon something that would be of great interest to a lot of people. Apparently a group of Pokémon fans have been working on an MMO version of what seems to be Pokémon Emerald. Although it is still in the beta phases, when it is complete you are apparently supposed to be able to battle anyone and chat with other trainers. As well as s...
Could Japanese online gaming trends be affecting my online?
I’m an obvious cas-core proponent of online gaming. I don’t need voice chat, but I definitely feel more excited about a match in Mario Kart DS when I know there’s a real live human being on the other end. They usually beat me. Even so, Nintendo’s foot dragging about any kind of concrete online gaming message is frustrating for some; annoying to others; and a deal breaker fo...

2007 Video game growth outpaced music, video
All signs are pointing to 2007 being the best year ever for video games, but how did the industry stack up against some of the Old Guard like movies and music?

Is Nintendo’s fall press conference a Megaton?
OK, so Megaton is overused, tired and lost its impact long ago. But I’m bringing it back! Why?
