Nyko’s ‘Wand’ will work with MotionPlus…maybe
Nyko may find themselves doing a redesign of their Wiimote redesign in just a few months. Nkyo’s ‘Wand’ is quite a departure from what Nintendo has done with the Wiimote, even if it does provide all the same functionality. If you are planning on picking up one of these babies when they come [...]
Top 10 Most Addicting Games
Article here Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, it doesn’t matter to me. I’ll play any of them, and for hours upon hours. Whenever I see an old arcade Pac-Man, I have to stop and pump in a quarter or two. I even play Pac-Man Vs. quite often…a game that didn’t go over too well for Nintendo. [...]
An hour with Metroid Prime Pinball
Article here I actually really liked Metroid Prime Pinball. The game idea was a great one, even if some people claimed that it was tarnishing the Metroid name. Samus turns into the morph ball, and the morph ball is like a pinball! Come now, how could Nintendo not take advantage of that idea! [...]
Netflix, your 360, and Nintendo content
This just seems like a strange combination. I had no idea that these videos were available to watch on Netflix through your 360. There is a ton of Nintendo-related content that you can set in your “Watch Instantly” queue. I don’t know about you, but I would feel dirty watching the Super Mario Br...
How Nintendo Wii Can Stay on Top in 2009
I think there are two methods that Nintendo can use to stay on top in 2009. I would like to see them go evenly down both routes, but I don’t know if that’s what the Big N has in mind. Nintendo obviously wants to continue going after the casual and expanded audience gamers. [...]
Steven Kent apologizes for ‘Wii bubble burst’ comments, then goes on to bash Wii and Nintendo in general
What can I say? Even after nearly two decades as a games journalist and 30+ years as a video game addict, I misunderstood the market. I did not envision so much of the market choosing a console that had nothing better than Wii Music and a really solid port of the GameCube/DS game Animal Crossin...
Square-Enix: we need games that sell 2-3 million ‘immediately’, worldwide is the key, and 2009 is looking great
“…we need to start aiming for games that can immediately sell two or three million copies — not just in Japan, but worldwide. For better or worse, the game marketplace has become one of very high stakes. Our games are completely global now; we have to be global, both in terms of the consumer mar...

What ever happened to DS Air?
Link Where in the world did this game go? It came out in Japan, and it was slated for a North American release. Well, that’s what Nintendo’s own site said for some time. Then, the listing disappeared, and everyone forgot about the title. Wasn’t this shown at E3 one year, or am [...]
Sixense shows off TrueMotion tech, in talks with Nintendo
Sixense CEO Amir Rubin confirms that his company is in talks with all three console developers to license the TrueMotion tech, but he doesn’t say anymore than that. Perhaps all three next-gen consoles will be on a level playing ground when it comes to motion control! Thanks to lolDSfan for...
Obama boning up on Wii Sports Bowling
Mr. Obama said he’d have his hands full attempting to rescue the American economy. But he has gotten in a little practice in bowling lately on the Nintendo Wii his daughters received for Christmas. Mr. Obama, who famously struggled in bowling during last year’s Democratic primaries, said he...

Using the past to predict a future Mario Party release
Are you ready for another Mario Party game? I sure hope you are, because there’s a very good chance of another one coming. I am sure you guys knew that already. While Nintendo hasn’t come out and said anything official, their past Mario Party releases point to a new entry this year.
Top 7 Useful Video Game Allies
Article here I think Midna is one of the best characters Nintendo has created in a long time. I really hope to see her make a return in a future Zelda title. I am not quite sure how that would work out, but it’s not my job to make it happen! I just want [...]

Reggie answers a ton of questions - Is Reggie a core or casual gamer, are there new I.P.s coming, has Nintendo’s quality dropped?
RFA: The labeling of “core” and “casual” implies one is better than the other and just builds more divisions between people. I’m a game player. We’re all game players. If I had to classify myself into a category, I’d say I’m a competitive game player. I’m going to do my best to knock your kart off t...

Nintendo Spin reviews
Stylus-based puzzle games on Nintendo DS range from awesome to atrocious, so it’s refreshing to play one that nails the gameplay and makes the DS feel like the perfect puzzle playing machine. And while Cradle of Rome isn’t a perfect game, it is easily one of the better puzzle games on Ninten...
Opinion: Wordjong Party - interview, art, screens
Destructoid: Word Jong is already available on the Nintendo DS, and it came out quite awhile ago. It’s a pretty great game; we ran a pretty positive review of it at the time of its release. So what’s new with the Word Jong Party on the Wii?

GoNintendo ‘End of day’ thoughts - Exclusive: Nintendo’s Denise Kaigler discusses the state of expanded audience game reviews
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...

Art Style: CUBELLO - review
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.

Opinion: Nintendo media summit - Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia - impressions
Wow…Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia is damn good. Hell, I think it may end up being the best of the DS titles. That’s quite a compliment, considering just how high-quality the other entries have been. So what makes Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia better than the other Castlevania games? Well...
Opinion: Nintendo media summit - Rhythm Heaven - impressions
The only thing to really speak of with Rhythm Heaven is the quality of the translation. Everything was in English this time around, so now I knew just how the games were being explained, and what my ratings meant after I finished a minigame. As you can guess, none of this was necessary to play an...
Opinion: Nintendo media summit - Cave Story - impressions
I can’t tell you how happy I am that Cave Story is heading to WiiWare. Ever since the day I played the PC version, I did my best to spread word of the game. I disparately wanted as many people to play the game as possible. I feel its one of the best games created in the last 5 years…I truly mean that. Litt...

Cortjezter’s ‘End of day’ thoughts - Nintendo Channel: by, for and about Nintendo, not core gamers.
May 7, 2008: the day America took one step toward parity with our Japanese Wii-playing friends as the Nintendo Channel goes live. An occasion I–and many other gamers–have been eagerly awaiting for not just the past six months, but since the launch of the Wii itself almost three times as lon...
