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?

Bad Publicity

This can’t be good publicity for the PSP. It just goes to show the love people have for Nintendo games, even for the haters. Wired is reporting in an article released today about easy hacks for the PSP that allow users to play retro Nintendo games. (See images below) With all the good hardware found in the PSP, people still just want great games. Even if they are technologically challenged.

221 downloadable games

Shizzle is reporting via some Japanese magazine on 221 games that will be ready for download on the Revolution. No word as to if these are considered the FREE classics that Nintendo’s VP spoke of last week. See the list!

FREE trials galore!

I’m a big advocate for online rentals of games and DVD’s. I’m an even bigger advocate of FREE trials. Check out EZ comparison for all the online game rental companies that include 5 Free trials. That’s well over 10 free game rentals being that most of them let you rent 2 at a time. Be sure to check out the best Nintendo games that you might have missed.

Apple to use Intel not PowerPC chips

What does that have to do with Nintendo you may ask? A lot. Nintendo’s last and next generation consoles both use the IBM PowerPC processing chip. Granted, this news won’t cause an uproar in the gaming processor industry, but Apple is reporting that a main reason for the switch is the chip’s inability to keep up with Intel and AMD chips. Again, gaming is about gaming not technolo...

DS Out Selling PSP in Japan

Wow. It’s all because the insanely popular Nintendogs that due stateside this August. I don’t care if it is cliche, but great games move hardware, not great technology. Nintendo is the best game publisher of all time, and they are consistently proving that. As long as they create innovative, creative, and fun games, I believe their hardware business will do fine. Your thoughts are welc...

Controller Speculation

Check this out: all the blogs are a wild with the latest Revolution controller speculation. Apparently the most recent is some weird thought controlled input device. Highly unlikely given today’s current technologies, but if Nintendo pulled this rabbit out of their hat, the thing would be way more than a “Revolution.” It would be Nobel material…

E3 madness

Well I have been on the show floor for the past 2 days and this place is crazier than ever. More people, more games and the hype for the Xbox 360 and PS3 is amazing. Microsoft has always had a huge presence on the show floor but if they spent less than 10 million dollars on floor space, manpower and the materials to create the massive booth itself, I will be amazed. Now don’t get me wrong, t...

E3 Early Thoughts

I was very pumped about E3 last Monday. On this the eve before the last day of the show, I want to believe that it has been an awesome E3. Only problem is, I don’t. Logic would have said: “Hey, three next gen systems are being unveiled with new games!” It totally should’ve been one of the best shows. Unveiling shows are always really exciting, right? I just didn’t fee...
