"New" Super Mario Bros?
So, May 15th there’ll be a new Mario game. Back to its roots, 2D with beefed up 3D characters, straight up platforming goodness, right outta the classic formula. Everyone’s excited. Everyone else, anyway. I dunno, when i see new screens of “New Super Mario Bros.” each week, the reaction they illicit isn’t excitement. Mario’s huge with a mushroom, Mario’s s...

Eyesheild 21 Max Devlipower Update
I’ve never spent more than five minutes of my entire life watching American football on TV, and everytime anyone tries to explain the rules to me I just get frustrated and confused. But this Japanese webpage may be the thing to get me started. I just finished watching nine mini-instructional videos on how each kind of football play is executed in the up-coming anime/action/RPG/sports game &#...
Gunstar Super Heroes Review
From time to time, an amazing game is released that gets overlooked. Gunstar Super Heroes is. Without question, one of those games. A sequel to the classic Gunstar Heroes for the Sega Genesis, Gunstar Super Heroes lives up to its old school roots, combining side scrolling gameplay with non-stop action. Though there is a storyline, it’?s not strong enough to base an entire game off of. Instea...
Retro Profile: Excitebike (NES)
Back in the day, we only needed two things to get kickin’: excitement and dirtbikes. Excitebike melded the two into what could very well be the most retro game ever made. Excitebike was a side scrolling motorcycle racer that threw a slew of obstacles in your path. From oil patches to giant odd-shaped ramps, Excitebike has plenty to offer. Seeing Excitebike not only brings back memories, but ...
Retro Profile: Karate Kid (NES)
There are many hallmarks of growing up in the eighties. Karate Kid (NES) brings two of them together: playing Nintendo and cheering for Daniel San. From karate tournament to hurricane, the game takes you through events from the big screen (mostly the second movie, Karate Kid II). While it lacks the emotional impact of watching a young hero learn karate through washing cars, the game has its moment...
Retro Profile: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (NES)
by Nicholas Roussos If you were anything like me as a kid, you spent hours of your childhood contemplating the benefits versus the drawbacks of being mutantly transformed into a giant turtle. I was a huge Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle fan. I watched the cartoon, I loved the movie, and the arcade game was superb. Needless to say, when they released TMNT for the NES, I bought it up faster than a group...
Zelda Twilight Princess Thoughts
I just got done watching the Zelda: Twilight Princess trailer for about the umpteenth time. While it reminded me of the delay, it also made me realize that Nintendo probably did it with the game’s best interest in mind. Here’s why: I think it’s fair to say that Nintendo has already taken the spotlight from Microsoft’s pending 360 release in November, at least for now. But t...
G4 Iwata Interview
If you haven’t already seen this, it’s a nice little find. The clip shows some nice close-ups of Iwata holding the new Revolution controller. The thing looks so small! Iwata explains the reasoning behind the one handed “free style” controller. Basically Nintendo believes non-gamers are intimidated by the two handed double thumb action. Might sound foreign to you, but that&#...
Revolution Controller Trailer
IGN has posted the teaser-only portion of Iwata’s TGS presentation. Like Joystiq said, these are merely actors and we’re quite confident they’re not playing real games. It still enlightens the mind with possibilities. Watch Trailer [Source: Joystiq]
Quality Counts
PC Watch’s recent demolition of the Gameboy Micro is very insightful. From Engadget’s translation: “Nintendo has paid attention to detail in many of the aspects of the device’s construction, such as its overall solid structure, detailed electrical work, and small touches such as stoppers that prevent screws from becoming loose.” Given the recent recalls of Xbox and PS...
Tennis Anyone?
So I just got done watching Agassi beat James Blake in a killer 5 set match at the US Open. And I began to wonder: How come Nintendo systems are lacking when it comes to simulation tennis titles? Sure we got the always fun Mario titles (with Tennis Advance coming out next month), but it seems like the Xbox and PS2 have had some really good ones. And the Xbox 360 has the wicked good looking Top Spi...
