Video: Fred Willard Rescues Cooking, Geography, & Nintendo Celebrity Campaign
I've been a little creeped out by Nintendo's celebrity campaigns of late. Not only do Liv Tyler and Carrie Underwood fail utterly to convince me that they enjoy their DS games, but Lisa Kudrow's latest commercial for Personal Trainer: Cooking made me reach for the Maalox.

Wii Sells The Best... But Who's Playing With Them?
A lot has been written about how the Nintendo Wii is outselling its competition in this current generation of game consoles. Although to be fair, the Xbox 360 is putting up a better fight than many expected, even if the general consensus is that Sony is in dire straits with its PlayStation 3. B...

Wii-kly WiiWare and Virtual Console Update 1/5/2009 - Happy New Year Edition
Nintendo is ringing in the new year on Wii a bit slowly this week, with only a two games released today between both WiiWare and Virtual Console. For WiiWare Nintendo brings us Sandy Beach, a sand castle building game that might be awfully refreshing during these cold winter months. Althoug...

Sonic Fan Overturns Dumb Law
11-year old Judson King of Lawrence, Kansas is apparently a big fan of Sonic the Hedgehog. So big, in fact, when he was 8 years old, he decided he needed to have one as a pet, despite real hedgehogs looking and acting nothing like the videogame one. Hey, I got a box tortoise during the first TMNT c...

Nintendo Boutique Opens At Toys'R'Us
I also don't really see the point of opening a special Nintendo boutique at the Times Square Toys'R'Us when the actual Nintendo World Store is just a handful of blocks away in Rockefeller Center. But I guess that's why I'm not in marketing.

Wii Have A(nother) Lawsuit: Straps Are A TV Danger
I just love he litigation-centric United States. Nintendo has once again been slapped with a lawsuit over their "faulty Wii Straps. What's different this time? Someone dug up some "buried" internal documents mentioning customer service reps dealing with the Wiimote TV smashing proble...

Wii-kly WiiWare And Virtual Console Update 12/8/2008
Nintendo seems to be going after the elusive furry audience this week with two games featuring anthropomorphic animals. Oh, and hockey. First up we have the puzzle game Bruiser and Scratch. Featuring a dog and cat duo of the same name, the game comes with 48 story puzzles and 75 additional cha...

Opinion: Has Nintendo Really Left The Core Gamer?
It's a hotly debated topic. It's a subject that gets people on all sides more than just a little relied up. And it's something that we're all going to have to live with for the foreseeable future no matter how we feel about it. After being the "it" gift for the past two years, outselling it's compe...

Just check off the ones you want to put on your list and then send off a special holiday E-card to your loved ones to let them know what you're hoping to find in your stocking this year.

Wii Speak Only Speaks To New Buyers
If we've learned anything these past couple of weeks, it is that publishers hate when gamers buy used games. Well Nintendo has taken this one giant leap forward with the release of their Wii Speak peripheral. Bundled with Animal Crossing City Folk, the Wii Speak allows gamers to chat with th...

First DSi Exclusive Game Revealed
There's also a regular DS game scheduled called WarioWare Myself, which actually lets players create their own minigames to share with other players. That sounds much more interesting, and less like a gimmick. Nintendo is also working on a WiiWare version of this game to let players try ou...

Wii-kly WiiWare And Virtual Console Update - 11/3/08
Since we've recently been getting some of the best games available on the Wii through WiiWare, namely World of Goo and Tetris Party, this week's update might not turn any heads. But think of it this way, at least Nintendo is giving our wallets some recovery time between its top games. This wee...

DSi By Next Summer?
The DSi is hitting Japanese stores on Saturday just in time for the holiday season. But since it's already costing 18,900 yen, which is about $192, importing is going to be too expensive for all but the most devoted of Nintendo fanboys. So when will Nintendo's newest handheld miracle land on...

Nintendo DS Has Officially Left The GBA In The Dust
Nintendo released another one of its glowing financial result reports with the typical high sales and glowing numbers, but with a surprise for longtime Nintendo fanboys. Sure, you have statistics like Wi Fit selling 8.7 million copies worldwide (which seems impressive until they also m...

Review: Wii Music
The latest release in Nintendo's Touch Generations series of games, Wii Music, is once again a difficult title to review. It's part game, part music simulator, and part educational tool... but somehow manages to be all fun. Not sure how they did it, but once again, Nintendo managed to make a gam...

Broken Sword Repaired For DS And Wii?
So apparently there's some indication that Ubisoft is going to release the classic adventure game Broken Sword for the Nintendo DS and the Wii. Now, I played this game when they ported the PC original onto the GBA of all places (hey, I was as surprised it worked as anybody), so I'm sure the DS w...
GayGamer Mailbag For October 20th, 2008
Heath I want a "Real" Bionic Commando sequel. The modern update looks terrible in my fanboy eyes, ignores what made the first game fun, and there are hot dog things on the dudes arm. Basically, I want Bionic Commando: Rearmed 2 or nothing.

Wii Music Drops At Nintendo World
Wii Music launches this week, but Nintendo had a special preview event at their Nintendo World store in New York City's Rockefeller Center on Sunday, October 19. I was eager to attend because I couldn't quite wrap my brain around the concept of a music game where you don't actually need any s...

TGS: Microsoft And Sony Fight For Japan
While many may lament the console wars, we cannot deny the fact that the console manufacturers are competing with one another. Competition breeds innovation though, so it really isn't all that bad. Gamasutra was at the Tokyo Game Show and have provided their analysis on which console make...

Nintendo Just Can't Win With Core Gamers
Well Reggie, I believe in April we were asking "why can't I find a Wii Fit?" I think the biggest problem is that Nintendo is only talking about Nintendo games. The Wii could fill core gamers with more than enough goodness if more games were being made that targeted that specific audience. I thi...
DisneyDanceRevolution
You know how we told you about that SingStar game for the PS2 that was going to feature Disney songs? Well, not one to feel left out, Nintendo is about to get a new Disney-fied music game of its own because Konami just announced DanceDanceRevolution: Disney Grooves for the Wii. "DanceDanceR...

Wii HD?
I know a lot of people might wish the Wii had better graphics, but I'm a little surprised to hear people talking about a Wii HD. Apparently Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter is convinced that there's one on the way. He believes that Nintendo needs to recapture that core gaming market the...
Nintendo Takes Huge Step Backward, DSi Is Region-Locked
It only took five days after the DSi was revealed for Nintendo to make an announcement that negates any excitement I once had for it. In an interview with Eurogamer yesterday Nintendo let it slip out that the shiny new Nintendo DSi would be region-locked. Because DSi embeds net communicatio...

Pikmin 3 Still Growing
Yesterday Nintendo announced that it will be remaking classic Gamecube games for Wii, and I expressed my concern that the Pikmin remake might have been what Shigeru Miyamoto had referred to at E3 when he said a Pikmin game was in development. Well it looks like I wasn't the only one concerne...

Wii Speak Details
I'm as thrilled as anyone about Club Nintendo coming to American shores, but that's not the only reveal that Nintendo had for gamers today. In addition to that announcement, they touted a bunch of games that we've already heard about, and promised that they would be producing more Wiis and...
Meet Nintendo's New Handheld: The DSi
A few days ago, Dawdle clued us in to the rumor that Nintendo would soon reveal a new DS model with added features such as a built-in camera and music playback from an SD card. After Nintendo's Japanese press conference early this morning, we now see the reality of this new DS, which, in a possi...
Japanese Nintendo Conference: The Games
Though not in the video, it was also announced at the press conference that Namco Bandai's next Tales of game will be coming to the Wii (this is in addition to Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World). Finally, Nintendo revealed that it will be that it will be re-releasing several Gamecube g...

Nintendo Reviving A Classic Franchise Tomorrow?
After the complete first-party let-down of this year's E3, Nintendo hopes to right some of those wrongs at the ever approaching Tokyo Game Show. French gaming site Gamekyo seems to have gotten some insider information, since they are making a very official sounding statement that Ninte...
Game Developer Magazine's Top 20 Publishers: Nintendo Wins Again
And while Nintendo may be facing a bit of a critical backlash for its treatment/non-treatment of its core gamer audience, there's no denying that the numbers tell a different story; indeed, Nintendo's first-party Wii and DS releases seem to have secured its position at the top of the lis...

Rumor: Nintendo DS To Add Camera, Music Playback
From the story it seems like these additions will just affect the current DS hardware, and there's still no word on the next handheld Nintendo system. However there is mention of camera-specific games for the new DS that presumably wouldn't work on older systems, barring this peripheral...

Review: Disgaea DS
As any die-hard turn based strategy fan will tell you, the Disgaea series is pretty much the quintessential strategy title for Sony consoles. Each game possesses its own self-referential, and often defacing fans, video games, and anything else that stands in it's path. It is easy to love a...
More Info on Sega's DS RPG: 7th Dragon
Asterick teased us with the news that SEGA was going to be developing an RPG for the Nintendo DS, and his cautious optimism. Well, the new Famitsu magazine has some more details about the game, including a title: 7th Dragon. The game is due out in Spring 2009, and they're apparently working fu...
