Another Successful Lawsuit for Nintendo
The colossal terrifying family friendly manufacturer, Nintendo, has tucked another victory under its belt, after pursuing further action against the R4 contraption which was developed for their DS handheld system. The Federal Court of Australia ruled in favor of Nintendo’s appeal and ordered a local distributor to fork over $520,000 for damages caused by selling [...]

8. October 2009
A Twilight version of movie trivia game Scene It is coming to the Wii and DS, the former featuring 500 questions based on the awful movie(s). The DS version isn’t due until 2010, but the Wii version will be out sometime in the fall. So, let’s propose one question: Why do the vampires in Twilight sparkle? A. The [...]

24. September 2009
Here’s a retro-redux no one saw coming. Interplay has announced they will be releasing downloadable updates to the ClayFighter Series. The studio doing the work is StudioBlack Games, comprised of some staff of the original games. The franchise began on the SNES and Genesis as a parody of the fighting genre which had grown too large [...]

19. September 2009
In Scribblenauts, you can summon god simply by tapping his name on the virtual keyboard. One would think with god at your disposal, a small ledge intruding on your path would be a menial task. That may be, but only if you’re willing to miss the point of the game in the first place. See, Scribblenauts [...]

9. September 2009
After the debacle that was the remake of Turtles in Time for the Live Arcade, maybe Ubisoft can make up for that mess with a fresh DS take on the iconic sub-genre: The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arcade beat-em-up. The DS edition called Arcade Attack, while looking rather poor with its boxy pixelated 3-D character [...]

11. August 2009
Developer N-Space will be handling a new Call of Duty for the DS, serving as a side story to the upcoming Modern Warfare 2 for the PC, 360, and PS3. The DS version, with a subhead of “Mobilized” will of course include a full single player campaign, but also significant multi-player options. Up to six players [...]

17. July 2009
Look, Sonic can run faster than Mario. It was utterly stupid to put them together in a 100-meter dash, as the rather poor Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games did. Obviously selling to an audience that fails to process basic logic, the game sold a few million copies on its way to becoming a [...]

12. June 2009
Think M-rated gaming is alive and well on the DS? Well, sales of GTA Chinatown Wars may convince you otherwise. The major DS release has barely managed to break 150,000 units since its release in March. Analysts has predicted up to 400,000 units, of which the game has rather obviously failed to reach. It could [...]

19. April 2009
Seemingly minutes after Nintendo made the whole DSi in America thing official, Gamestop began taking people’s money to reserve them. The enhanced DS that doesn’t do everything the regular the DS does (ooh, burn) and comes with a crappy camera (double burn) will run $169. However, Gamestop, being the kind-hearted gentle corporate souls they are, [...]

6. April 2009
Despite being the most expensive version of Peggle ever released, Peggle Dual Shot (can the DS acronyms please stop?) is actually the best value for your dollar. It contains all that is Peggle, including two full games, exclusive maps, challenges, and multi-player. All of that just cost you hours of your life. In terms of [...]

1. April 2009
Okay, so you have a mega franchise coming to a piece of hardware it’s never been on. You’re programming in Wi-Fi, but it’s not actually going to be used for multi-player… even though there are multi-player modes included in the game. Is your logic detector going off towards the “makes no sense” side? Thought so. Oddly, [...]

30. March 2009
Remember March 6th? That was the day the execs at Nintendo were likely running around, drinking a lot, and doing a general celebration. Why? The DS sold its official 100 millionth console worldwide. That’s a milestone, although just shy of the all time record. In terms of history, that’s only two million short of the [...]
