Full review here A portion of an ONM review… The best wrestling game on a Nintendo console since the N64 glory days. Impressive. + Great customisation options + Loads of match types + Controls feel much tighter + Excellent career mode - No online at all Full review here
“The game does start off as easy as its handheld sibling did (by the end of World 3 we had earned 68 lives), but it soon gets fiendishly difficult and will have even the most die-hard Mario players cursing at times. Instead of feeling like it was designed primarily for four players with the sin...
Full review here A portion of a Dtoid review… Still, this is the best balance board game I’ve bought since Wii Fit came out, which says a lot for how well Nintendo understands their own hardware, and how little third-party developers have really tried to utilize the thing. Full review here
Full review here A portion of a Nintendo Life review… Whether you’re a fan of the original NES release or not, you absolutely owe it to yourself to give A Boy and His Blob a try as you’d be hard-pressed to find a more rewarding gameplay experience available on the Wii console. Full review here

You’ve read one half of the list, now get the full scoop! Check out what GameDaily and GoNintendo picked for the 10 through 6 spots! For some reason the Game Boy Advance launch really sticks out in my mind. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that Nintendo was finally moving on from the...
Speaking of big franchises, do they come any bigger than Super Smash Bros.? There’s only been three entries in the Smash Bros. series, with the N64 giving birth to the game that would sweep the nation. A Nintendo-created fighting game that features characters from all of Nintendo’s biggest...

Being a Nintendo fan can be really rough sometimes. For years upon years, Nintendo fans have been crapped on by gamers that prefer other platforms. It’s all part of the console wars, and there’s never going to be a time where that bickering ends. I don’t expect it to, and I never will.

Trent: Me and Rob are both big Nintendo fans for a number of reasons. Nintendo approaches gaming from a prospective where Super Mario Bros. is still a classic and doesn’t look dated. Look at any game on the PlayStation 1 that tries to exceed past the terrible 3D graphics, with their look alike,...
Ant commented; “I have always been a massive fan of Nintendo consoles. I loved my Nintendo 64 growing up.

AFTER the first try I was actually quite up for the rest of G.I. Joe. I was playing it on the Nintendo DS and the first few levels were easy enough and quite fun. But after that I just got angrier and angrier until, by the end, I hated everything about it.
Full review here A portion of a Nintendo Life review… Phantasy Star is not perfect, but its flaws are all very minor, making this game easily one the best of the 8-bit console roleplaying games. The title is well-made, well-presented, enthralling and innovative, and while the leap in powe...
Okay, I know it would be nearly impossible to have every week chock-full of great downloadable content for WiiWare, DSiWare and Virtual Console. Still, I think Nintendo could do a much better job with picking and choosing what titles enter the service. Right now, I’d have to say that the qua...
Quite a good day for downloads on the Nintendo side of things, don’t you think?! Great VC content, great WiiWare content…and a little more Brain Age never hurt anyone. I know I downloaded a pair of titles! I’ll hit you up with impressions tomorrow. For now, enjoy two ladies beating up [...]

While the latest title involved in a review scandal isn’t hitting Wii or DS, Nintendo fans are definitely aware of the issues EIDOS has been involved with. The first time around rocked GameSpot so hard that there was a mass exodus, and the second time involved a Tomb Raider title on Wii. Why is...

Nintendo doesn’t allow developers to patch their game after release, which I think is a bit unfair. Nintendo had an issue with Wii Sports Resort in Japan, so they released a firmware upgrade to fix the issue. If Nintendo can do a complete firmware upgrade, why can’t third parties do a patch?
Nintendo seems to be taking what works on DS, and moving it over to Wii. New Super Mario Bros., Mario Kart DS, Animal Crossing: Wild World. All of these received/are receiving Wii versions.

I’m calling it right here: Punch-Out!! is destined to become one of this generation’s top classics, right up there with Super Mario Galaxy. It’s one heckuva peace offering for Nintendo’s jilted lifers, an elaborate brainteaser for everyone who picks it up, and absolutely the best Punch...
A portion of a Nintendo Life interview with various dev members at WayForward… NL. As was mentioned, we’ve already seen LIT released on the North American Virtual Console service. Can we expect a European release for the game and if so, any idea when?
We’ve already told you that Nintendo Power game Punch-Out!! Wii an 8.5, but here are some details from that review. Not a “modern” fighting/boxing game by any measure. More of a reflex-based / memorization-heavy arcade puzzle game, just like the original PO. Link

“Punch-Out!! is our biggest Wii launch so far in 2009, and we see it as an important title that will appeal to gamers and families in a similar manner to Mario Kart Wii. It has a great pedigree with the previous titles on the NES and Super Nintendo, and this heritage is faithfully carried acros...
1UP: You were talking about getting new stuff every Monday, and you guys do the Wii-kly Update press releases, which is now the Nintendo Download Report. Out of curiosity, is there a chance that you could modify the scheduling of that a little bit? I admit I’m sort of asking as a gamer, but in J...

VB: What’s the situation with Nintendo’s supply of Wiis today? Have they finally caught up to demand, or has demand fallen off? VB: Just as Nintendo has caught up with Wii, they’re about to ship Nintendo DSi. Do you see that portable being hard to find?
DY: There’s been a lot of success for third-parties doing just that on the Wii already. I think it’s a mixed perception when people say ‘only Nintendo can succeed on Wii’ – there are a number of big sellers that prove this isn’t the case. Yes, Nintendo has had a lot of success on its formats and ha...
This info comes from the latest issue of Nintendo Power. I’ll only be posting the info that’s new… - control pad for continuous boost - hold control pad too long and you’ll overheat - more challenge modes than ExciteTruck - online for up to six players - more online details yet to be revealed -...

JK: Nintendo has been following a parallel path to us for quite a while with the DS and Wii. I certainly don’t feel they’re getting credited unfairly or that they ‘stole our thunder’ or anything. I think they’ve been doing the same thing we have, trying to move games back from the hardcore crow...
RMC: Nintendo has quite a few titles that present interesting dilemmas for media outlets when time comes for reviews. Titles like Animal Crossing: City Folk, Nintendogs, Brain Age, and others all involve a lot of time to invest. With that said, do you think that titles such as these can be ac...

Nintendo has gone two for two in their Art Style series with CUBELLO. It’s easily the best puzzle game so far on WiiWare, and for only 600 points, it’s a must-buy. Any self-respecting Puzzle fan needs to have this in their WiiWare library.
Will this be the last Castlevania on the DS? I don’t know the answer to that, but I sure hope it isn’t. If it is, this may end up being the last 2d Castlevania game we ever see. Let’s treat it as such, and pick this baby up later this month. If you are a Castlevania fan, you will be far from disappointed.
The WiiWare version controls like a dream, and things work just as you would expect them to. You hold the Wiimote in classic NES style, with dpad for walking and the 1/2 buttons for jump and shoot. The B trigger lets you switch weapons, A gives you your map, and you can access menus with the plus/...
