  • WiiWare Launches Today

The games vary in price, from just 500 Wii Points to 1500 Wii Points. The six games available are: Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King for 1500 Wii Points LostWinds for 1000 Wii Points…

  • Earthbound Bound For Virtual Console?

    Well, it looks like it could be happening…I never thought it would (Nintendo of America refused to bring over any of the GBA Mother games so I figured it was the end of the series for me), but it looks like Nintendo might be bringing Earthbound stateside via the Virtual Console. The ESRB has recently…

  • Super Smash Bros. Brawl Initial Impressions

    I bought Brawl last night and since then have played the game for just over 10 hours. I’ve mostly played the Subspace Emissary as well as one run through classic mode with Snake and 20 of the single player events. I also played a quick online game with Gmoney and another one with a random…

  • Virual Console Update – Kirby 64 and Psychosis

    This weeks VC updates are, I assume, pretty radical. I assume so because I haven’t actually played either of the games, so I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt. Kirby 64 was one I always wanted to play but never got around to buying…I guess now is my chance. Psychosis…I’ve never heard of, but…

  • Advance Wars Launch Party Sunday

    This Sunday, January 20th, Nintendo will be holding a launch party for Advance Wars: Days of Ruin at the Nintendo World Store in New York. It starts at 1 PM and ends around 3 PM. I’m sure they’ll be all kinds of Advance Wars craziness going on. They’ll also be giving the game away for…

  • Nintendo Reports Huge Sales

    The Nintendo DS set a sales record last week (between November 18 – 24), selling more than 653,000 units! The previous title holder? The Game Boy Advance, moving 600,000 for the same time period in 2005. Well done Nintendo, well done.

  • Awesome Radical Retrospective: Arkanoid

    Arkanoid was originally an arcade game developed by Taito in 1986 and later ported over to the NES. You control the “Vaus”, a space ship that basically acts as a paddle to bounce a ball against multicolor bricks. Some bricks take more than one hit to destroy and the player can grab upgrades along the…

  • Marching Bands Like Video Games

    I don’t really even know what to say. Why did they choose to do a video game theme? I mean, a lot of people in the band must really love video games to decide to do this. It’s pretty well done…watching the Tetris blocks move is almost mesmerizing. It’s too bad everything is upside down.…

  • Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker Initial Impressions

    I picked up Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker (DS) yesterday and I’ve been able to play the game for a good two or three hours so far. I’ve never played a Dragon Quest Monsters game before, so it’s all new to me, even though I’ve seen all the monsters before in other Dragon Quest games. Anyway,…

  • Super Mario Galaxy Launch Party

    The Nintendo World Store will be having a lunch party this Sunday to celebrate the release of Super Mario Galaxy. The party will go from 8 PM – 12 AM, at which point everyone can pick up a copy of the game. Here are all the details:

  • Super Smash Bros. Brawl Update – Lucas: Special Moves

    Today’s Smash Bros. update featured the move set for Lucas. Lucas move set is pretty similar to Ness. The moves are: PK Fire, PK Freeze, PK Thunder, and PSI Magnet. The post also shows his smash directional attacks. I’m interested to see how Lucas will play. I was never good with Ness, but maybe I…

  • Super Mario Galaxy Mini Boss Fight Video

    Super Mario Galaxy is almost here and to hold you over IGN has released some new gameplay videos, such as this mini boss fight. I really like how this fight is designed. You can sort of feel just how much the game is polished watching the multi part battle (and this is only a mini…
