Earlier this week, I was talking about how impressed I always am with the Nintendo fan community. Some amazing things come from you guys. I think the statue above proves my point! Thanks to Coffeewithchess for the heads up! Link

Is it really going to happen? Will The Conduit pull it off and be a big third party success for the core crowd? With the game sitting in Amazon’s top 100, and also falling into GameStop’s best-sellers list…I think there might actually be a shot. Thanks to Coffeewithchess for the heads up! Link

A portion of a OMGNintendo review… Eduardo the Samurai Toaster is an independent game that was made by about five people. As a result, the game may not have as much hype or polish as something corporately backed. However, Semnat Studios have done their best to make a unique looking experience and the most eye catching [...]

The official Japanese website for the Mac de DS service has been opened up. Now you can keep tabs on all the happenings at McDonalds that the rest of the world doesn’t get to enjoy. I wonder if Nintendo is going to try rolling out something like this outside of their homeland. Site here [...]

When I think back to all the games I played at E3, Icarian: Kindred Spirits really stands out. I played co-op alongside Cort, and I had a blast doing so. I got a real ‘LostWinds’ vibe from the game. I am not talking about gameplay similarities, but instead, game quality. I [...]

We showed you the full version of the Dragon Quest IX commercial. Now we have the shorter version, thanks to StarCube. Direct link here

We vivisect Venice's verisimilitude as the fireworks illuminate the night sky.

This weekend couldn’t come soon enough. After all the issues that popped up during the week, it’s great to have the weekend in order to regroup and chill out. What better way to relax than with another episode of Viewitful Joe? The more episodes I see, the more I start to wish [...]

I wonder if Nintendo will let Tommo get away with adding a couple more worlds after ‘Wii Play’. We’ll have to keep an eye on this one to see if the name changes. It would be nice to know what the hell the game is about too! Thanks to TheGame for the [...]

This map comes from the latest issue of VJump. It’s part of the major Dragon Quest IX feature that the issue has. Thanks to Yesubaybee for the heads up!

Can’t say that I’m all that excited, but the game is only going to cost 500 Nintendo Points. Not too shabby for those that are into this type of game. Link

The Panthers want to pounce on the Falcons, and the Bucs want to keep the Saints from marching in.

It doesn't matter how grim the situation looks, the McCall brothers will still ride in a blaze of glory.

Let your reputation precede you in your travels to foreign lands and the doors of hospitality will always be open for you to return.

Much of the interview has to do with Overlord II, but some of it does relate to the Wii and DS versions Direct link here

Cave Story at IGN.com Sounds like we are in the homestretch with this one. Lord knows we’ve been waiting long enough! I sure hope you’ve set aside some Nintendo Points for this one.

A portion of a GameFlavor interview with Paul Van Dyke… GameFlavor: How did you get involved with licensing music for games? What has the process been like for you? PVD: Well, normally the licensing goes through the publisher or the record label, and I’ve had some of my tracks licensed that way for games in the past. [...]

A portion of a Giant Bomb review… Maybe if Starfy had been around in the Western market for years and engendered the same sort of nostalgia that we older gamers feel for franchises like Mario, I’d be more forgiving of this game’s simplistic nature–but as a newcomer to the series, I found myself wanting for a [...]

Tokyo Beat Down makes me very sad. The writing in the game is top-notch as far as humor goes, but the gameplay is pretty damn boring. I love beat’em-ups, but you and I both know that there are good and bad entries in the genre. I couldn’t tell you what makes certain beat’em-ups [...]
