RE: Chime In - Selling Third Party on the Wii
We had some guys from EA around the table, some of whom had worked on SSX Blur for the Wii. SSX Blur was basically a launch title (February 27, 2007), and Nintendo told them they had to use the Wii controller to its fullest. So they did, here’s a description of the controls from Wikipedia:

The Museum of Mario Merch
A new Mario game is out, and boy, it is fantastic. Main-line Mario titles are pretty rare, and to celebrate the new (new) Super Mario Bros, the Nintendo World Store in New York has set up a museum of Mario merchandise. Any child of the 80s probably had a Nintendo-themed lunchbox and read the Mar...

Image of the Day - Super Mario Galaxy HD
See all of the 1080p shots I hate to be one of those guys, but I really wish that Nintendo would put out that fabled Wii HD already. I sigh a little inside every time that I boot up a game and have to wonder if I remembered to put my glasses on. NeoGAF user theox2g6 posted a bunch of shots [...]
ToeJam & Earl Creator Discusses TJ&E 4, XBLA Port
Genesis icons ToeJam and Earl have been lying dormant for awhile, but fans certainly haven’t forgotten them. After the duo won a recent fan-favorite poll, Sega announced that they would bring the original game to XBLA. As it turns out, things aren’t quite as clear-cut as you might think. Joy...

Japan’s Club Nintendo Gets Ultrahand for WiiWare
Japanese Club Nintendo members got a surprise, not only with an exclusive WiiWare title as a Club Nintendo Reward, but also something that allows me to mention our hero, Gunpei Yokoi, which I don’t get to do nearly enough. His Ultrahand toy has returned, as a WiiWare game, available to Club...

DSiWare Announcement Bonanza
I was pretty hyped about the DSiWare store when it was first announced. I mean, it’s hard not to get excited about an iPhone-like app store with Nintendo backing. In theory, it’s awesome. practice, it’s been pretty meh. Flipnote Studio is awesome, as are some of the Art Style games, but it has ma...

4cr Video Review - Muramasa: The Demon Blade
Muramasa is boldly Japanese, preserving the original voice-over work, and offering players subtitles instead as they are guided through Japanese mythology - which often manages to reference the potentially unfamiliar, yet never takes radical detours that risk losing the player.

The Ad[Verse] - Laughing With Nintendo
The first time I saw this advertisement about someone made homeless by their Nintendo addiction, I had to wait to see it a second time before I would believe it was from Nintendo. Family and friends immediately concluded that my fate was being captured within the ad.

The Conduit Multiplayer Review
After I played the opening level of the campaign to familiarize myself with the controls, I logged onto WiFi and jumped right into some multiplayer matches to get a taste of what the action was like. Playing a few Team Reaper matches (Conduit’s version of Deathmatch), my first impression w...

My Day Discovering EarthBound
As a first-time player of the series, I noticed that it shares a similar style of humorous dialogue with a more recent Nintendo offering: Animal Crossing. Like in that game, the characters I’ve come across in EarthBound are cute, crazy, and tend to ramble on, repeating key words and phrase...

Impressions: Guitar Hero On Tour: Modern Hits
This week I was sent a review copy of Guitar Hero On Tour: Modern Hits for the DS. Removing the guitar peripheral – which is what made the series famous – is an odd, if not questionable step. But in the interest of system portability, it’s understandable why it had to be done. Instead of a plastic t...

[TT] Being Samus - And Other Metroid Musings
Few revelations could have placated the long time Nintendo faithful at E3 this year more than the announcement that another Metroid title was in development. The applause within Club Nokia was instantaneous, and I’m certain the person to my right started convulsing almost immediately...

Majora’s Mask - Nintendo’s Fluke
Very few videogames deal directly with the concept of defeat. There is an implicit understanding between developer and player that the main character is meant to win. MMORPGs are notoriously addictive because they empower the player in this respect. Every character in an MMO is a badass. Fi...
