Aside from their Mediterranean background, it seems like Mario and Kratos have something else in common this year. Both have sequels out and both those follow-ups up the ante in terms of scale. While God of War 3 went for a widescreen epic feel, Super Mario Galaxy 2’s evolving in terms of depth. The end [...]
Video games get a bad rap as a sedentary, unhealthy pursuit. It’s one of the reasons the medium fights for respectability and probably one of the reasons the President calls out video games as often as he does.
Most fighting games ask you to invest a least little bit in the convoluted backstories of their stables of exotic characters to make you care about who wins or loses. Nintendo’s new downloadable PhotoDojo takes a different approach.
I kinda have a love/hate thing going on with my Wii. You see the worst kind of shovelware and craptastic mini-game collections proliferating on Nintendo’s uber-successful console. Worse yet, the company’s success with the Wii can be seen as reinforcing a cautious conservatism with their approach to hardware and first-party development. You can see hints [...]
Love it or hate it, it’s impossible to deny the Wii’s success. Nintendo’s had a hard time meeting demand for the system pretty much since launch and it’s introduced new demographic categories to video games like nothing before.

A 24-year-old woman apparently fell off her Wii Fit Balance Board and the injuries she sustained resulted in “persistent sexual arousal syndrome,” according to UK tabloid Daily Star. Sensational! Far be it for a tabloid to print sensational news (*cough*). This story must be 100% accurate.
It really makes us wonder why Nintendo even bothered to send over a DSi XL to US press the day before Nintendo Japan’s 3DS announcement less than 24 hours later. Yes, I know the DSi XL has been available in Japan for quite a while, but I’m just saying.
While at GDC, Techland was lucky enough to get a one-on-one interview with Reggie Fils-Aime, president of Nintendo of America. As we talked about his take on the threat of Playstation Move, Reggie showed off a little bit of the swagger that’s made him a sometime-controversial figure in the games business. We also discussed why [...]
So our Nintendo DSi XL was delivered today accompanied by a 10-foot sub from Delfonte’s of Brooklyn. I’m pretty sure it’s more than 93 percent larger than your standard sub.
