3DS
Nintendo, would you please advertise the 3DS? For real this time?
Hey, The Lion King’s 3D re-release topped the box-office charts over the weekend! (Go Simba!)Â Wouldn’t that have been the perfect opportunity for Nintendo to stick pre-movie ads for a certain little handheld game machine? Then again, at this point, wouldn’t anyplace be a great spot for some 3DS advertising?
The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition dated, arrives Sept 28
In commemoration of the 25th anniversary of everyone’s favorite green hero, Nintendo announced at E3 that they would be giving away a free downloadable Zelda title to anyone who owns a Nintendo DSi, DSi XL, or 3DS. That title is aptly named The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition, and starting September 28, you can grab a copy for yourself. Nintendo was kind enough to show off t...
Regarding the recent news about Vita’s battery…
Hmmm. Three to five hours…and that’s with online capabilities disabled. Sounds awfully familiar, doesn’t it? I wonder how Sony fans are adapting to the news. I’d like to send them all a card: “Misery loves company, guys. Welcome aboard the S.S. Recharge.”
“The 3D Machine” invades Nintendo Video
One thing I wasn’t expecting from my 3DS was its ability to morph into a little portable film festival with truly outstanding entries. Do not miss this week’s Nintendo Video debut of “The 3D Machine” from Rotterdam’s Ka-Ching Cartoons. Not only is this the best film to hit the service so far, but it actually has (drum roll) a reason to be in 3D: the plot involves a cr...
What upcoming Nintendo game are you most excited to play this year?
Although I wish it had fewer cutscenes, I’ll go with Zelda: Skyward Sword out Nov. 20 on Wii. What about you? If you could only pick one game spanning all three current Nintendo systems, what game are you most excited to play by year’s end?
Here’s why Nintendo’s 3DS target is off by a whopping 75%
Just how bad is 3DS performing? In case it wasn’t obvious, let the numbers do the talking. According to Reuters, Nintendo is hoping to sell 16 million 3DS units by the end of the year. After selling more than 3 million units in the first month, sales tapered to just 700k additional units for the entire following quarter ending in June. That’s just over 4 million; 75% short of their 1...
Hey Nintendo, now you’re playing with power!
Nintendo is currently holding just finished up with a 3DS specific press conference in Japan, and a ton of new details have emerged. First and foremost, no, Nintendo didn’t show off the second analog add-on nor did they mention any redesign with dual analog support. The conference was mainly to show off a TON of new games coming to the handheld, and quietly delay another one. Let’s ge...
Nintendo already thinking about an original on Zelda 3DS
The Legend of Zelda is one of Nintendo’s biggest franchises after Mario, and each of the games in the series have been given extra special attention because of it (if you don’t count the CD-i titles, because really, who does?). This means that when a new Zelda title is released, gamers pay extra special attention to it. Nintendo knows this. As such, series producer Eiji Aonuma has gone...

Can the 3DS become the console of Zelda?
With the advent of the eShop and the recent 3D remake of Ocarina of Time, 3DS owners with a soft spot for our beloved teen-in-green have plenty of options when it comes to purging Hyrule and it’s outlying realms from the forces of evil. Right now, no less than four Legend Of Zelda games are available on the handheld- and the 3DS’s backwards compatibility with the DS library adds two mo...
