“Don’t ask! Even when the Wii launched we were developing new hardware, work on 3DS …
It’s not much of a break for tightly held purses and wallets, but select retailers just lopped $30 off the Nintendo Wii’s $200 price tag, bringing the world’s bestselling current-gen game console down to a not-quite-bargain $170.
Note this isn’t an official Nintendo cut (well, yet) so it’s not clear what got the herd moving. Rumor has …

Nintendo’s 3DS portable flew off the shelves in late March, moving just shy of 400,000 units during its first week of U.S. sales, reports Nintendo. Couple with Nintendo’s other handhelds, and the company says it saw its best March ever (that’s “in U.S. history” ever) for portable hardware sales.

It’s Friday, Friday… If you’ve got some major time to kill, there’s always the world’s biggest game of Pac-Man, and its all online.
The whole game consists of more than one maze: it consists of several mazes, all interconnected with each other. And then you can zoom out, to see some more mazes. Again, and again. It doesn’t …
Tired of the Wii? Of course you are! Which is why you’re as excited as we are that Nintendo will finally debut the motion-console’s follow up at this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo, running from June 7 to 11 in Los Angeles.
Game Informer has apparently obtained information from “multiple sources” that the new gaming system will …
Look, there’s no denying that the Wii’s been a juggernaut in the home video game market, dominating market share almost as soon it came out.

Sony CEO Jack Tretton just bared his claws in a catty new interview with Fortune magazine. In the interview, Tretton had some particularly harsh words for Nintendo’s new ‘3d-without-glasses’ 3DS, calling it of all things a “babysitting tool.”

You really, really love the Nintendo 3DS, apparently enough to make it Nintendo’s fastest selling handheld ever. Not the fastest selling games console ever, mind you, but still pretty impressive for a company with nearly a dozen mobile gaming flavors on the books since the chubby gray-on-green-screen Game Boy debuted back in …
You probably paid $250 for that sleek cobalt black or aqua blue Nintendo 3DS you snatched up Sunday. Now guess what Nintendo’s paying.
