Nintendo Releasing Bigger DSi, the XL
One of the quicker turnarounds for improved Nintendo handheld hardware, the DSi XL has been confirmed by Nintendo for Japan and Europe (November 21 and Q1 2010 respectively). The system will feature a larger screen, supposedly for those older DSi owners who have poor eyesight. The screens are a full 4″ in size, up from 3.25″ [...]

Thursday, October 8, 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 [...]

Saturday, September 19, 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 [...]

Wednesday, September 9, 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 [...]

Friday, July 17, 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 [...]

Wednesday, June 24, 2009
Well, here’s one we didn’t see coming. Apparently the disappointing sales of Grand Theft Auto Chinatown Wars on the DS have prompted Rockstar to port the previous exclusive over to the PSP. The game will now feature widescreen support, new story missions, and improved visuals. Note this will still be overhead, not third person as [...]
Continue reading...Gamestop Taking DSi Reserves
Sunday, April 19, 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, [...]

Monday, March 30, 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 [...]

Friday, February 13, 2009
Seriously, why are you even reading this? The game is called Little Red Riding Hood’s Zombie BBQ. Why would possibly need more information than that? Oh, you need to know how it plays before you spend $20? Fair enough. Zombie BBQ is easily one of the quirkiest concepts (from a story standpoint) in years. Little Red [...]

Thursday, February 12, 2009
Kudos to N-Space for at least trying. They’ve crammed an enormous amount of content into the DS version of Call of Duty World at War. Content isn’t king though, and this portable renditions gameplay doesn’t quite work as planned. The heart of the games problems are the sloppy controls. Using the touch screen to aim is [...]

Wednesday, December 3, 2008
Japanese and European gamers have been enjoying Club Nintendo for a ridiculously long period. US gamers could only froth at the mouth at some of the bonuses those countries have received, including a number of rarities. The loyalty program lets players prove their worth to Nintendo buy buying lots of their crap in exchange for [...]

Wednesday, October 15, 2008
Rumors sometimes prove to be true, such as the rumblings of a new DS model coming down the pipe. That turned out to be the DSi, a new version of the hardware with internal storage, a SD card slot, and incredibly crappy 0.3 megapixel camera. Users of the DSi will be able to access an [...]
