Games please!!!

Some comments and email feedback from you Infedoans have indicated a want for more game reviews. I’m all for it but remember our previous slow summer post? I think it’s safe to say we’re all feeling the effects. Games please!!! So far, we deem the two most memorable Nintendo games of 2005 to be RE4 and Minish Cap. Current games in our queue: Twisted!, Beyond Good & Evil (GC),...

Outperform

As of December 2004, the N64 sold 32.93 million units compared to the GameCube’s 18.02 million units. Which begs to ask, if Nintendo sells less Revolutions than N64’s during the next round of consoles, will they survive as a hardware manufacturer? To be fair to the GameCube (which I believe is a better machine), she still can sell and was competing against a much more dominate Microsof...

Update: Leaked Revolution Ad

Over the weekend, we received the actual image of the Leaked Revolution Ad screenshot. The anonymous source claims the image comes from an agency that has done work for Nintendo in the past. He went on to confirm that this is in fact just a concept and said similar ideas like “The future is in your hands” were also in the works referring to the oh so elusive controller. Still speculati...

Slow Summer

It has been said that during the summer, Nintendo refrains from releasing large software titles in an effort to keep people more active. Can anyone confirm this? It always seems to be the case every time summer rolls around. If this urban myth is true, that’s pretty classy on Nintendo’s part.

Classic Makeovers

Word on the street is that classic Nintendo games may get a new look when downloaded from the upcoming Revolution service. Saturo Iwata said, “We are doing several experiments, including working with the original Super Mario Bros., with the new technology. The game itself and the gameplay shall be identical, but the look will be different; it’s possible that with Revolution, we may be ...

Say it ain’t so…

Punch Jump is reporting that Revolution games will retail for $60. This comes from recent GameStop listings that have speculative games preordering for that much. I think it’s still speculation, and more of a PR stunt by the game store. But if so, what ever happened to cheaper development? Nintendo would be smart to stick with a $50 price point. What do you think?

Versus

Who will triumph and why? I guess the DS is off to head start over in Japan. Anyword on the matchup here in the States? Also, do you believe Nintendo when they say a newer GameBoy will be the real competition?

NES PC

If you’re a hardware nut, Nintendo Fan, and have lots of extra time on your hands, knock yourself out. Here’s the how-to instructions if you’ve got the moxey! (Source: 4 Color Rebellion)

Revolution: No HD

Apparently, Ninny has decided not to include HD with Revolution. While this isn’t a huge shock, I’m left wondering. Do you think it’s a big deal? I don’t think it’s mission critical, but it would have been a nice feature. Nintendo is claiming that adding HD will add to developer and consumers cost. That may be the case but I wonder if that’s more PR spin than ac...

Micro Skins + Nice New Pic

Behold, the goodness that is… more micro pics. While I think the GameBoy micro was an excellent business move by Nintendo to steal thunder from the PSP at E3, I think I’ll stick with my trusty SP. Are any of you going to buy one come this November? If so, why? (Tiny hardware deserve tiny pics)

DS Lovin’

Starting June 12, the DS will ship with Mario 64 DS. Might be a good time to pick this badboy up in preparation for Nintendogs. (Source: 4 color rebellion)

Not FREE? Boo.

Gamedaily is reporting that the Nintendo classics will not be FREE. I guess you can strike my post from last Friday as wishful thinking based off hearsay. (Sorry, blogger mistake) Joystiq has been saying though that maybe they will somehow incorporate free promotional downloads. I.E. Buy a game, get 3 FREE classic downloads. Has anyone heard anything else?
