And it’s not about just the quantity of games; it’s about offering people immersive experiences that you really only get through a New Super Mario Bros. or a Mario Kart on DS, or the new Zelda. No one can match the quality of games and the breath of genres that Nintendo DS can. And I think what’s al...
“Our hope was that Red Steel 2 would have launched in this holiday season. That’s a title that we had always looked at to be a key part of the strategy to drive the installed base of Wii MotionPlus.

I remember it just like it was yesterday. The rumor in 1986 that went around the school yard and passed from kid to kid during the summer. The rumor was said to get an infinite amount of lives in Super Mario Bros. for the NES. Very few could master it, and whoever could pull off the feet was king for th...
If you’re a fan of the original Excitebike then chances are you’ll certainly enjoy World Rally on the Wii.

Recently, Kotaku was able to sit down with NOA President, Reggie Fils-Aime, to discuss this year’s two big holiday titles from Nintendo — New Super Mario Bros. Wii and The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks. He had quite a bit to say on each game, specifically about why Mario is not online and why...
Having the first red Wii case game (NSMB Wii) come out along side a colored Wii Remote is great. The controller syncs perfectly and played great. I’m actually surprised how old my white (2007 launch) Wii Remotes felt… The buttons on my old controller aren’t as sturdy or responsive as they wer...

Geoff Keighley, the guy who hosts GameTrailers TV, loves to tease people with his Twitter account. His latest tweet should get Mario fans excited… “Someone introduces himself as “It’s-a-me, Mario!” in a big holiday game, and it’s not New Super Mario Bros Wii.” Hmm… another Mario game in ti...
Miyamoto said this to ONM: “I think it sold lower than our expectations but on the other hand it was a really unique game, I have to say. And also, even today, we are receiving several different offers from people in the field of music education, so as far as Wii Music is concerned, I think [...]

“I spoke to Mr. Miyamoto and said: “I wanna be Link, I wanna be Link”, and Miyamoto told me that Link isn’t going to have a voice; he is going to stay the way he is. Of course Mr. Miyamoto is always right! The way it works right now is the way it is supposed to be. It’s the genius of Miyamoto and he knows ju...

I never count my chickens before they hatch, so I didn’t mind. Disappointed? Sure, who wouldn’t be. I’ve been a Nintendo fan since 1985 and I still am today.

IGN – 82 Madden 10 is a fun Wii game – It just isn’t one I see many current Madden players getting into over a true-to-NFL offering. EA will grab new fans with this year’s Wii game, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it also pushes away old fans in the process.
