I was actually surprised to see how sad it made me to learn of Billy Mays’ passing. It’s strange…I met the guy alongside Mom Brain, and he was nice enough to record an intro message for our podcast. Mr. Mays seemed to be a really great guy, and super friendly. I know [...]

Looks like SEGA is holding a bit of a promotion in Japan for Sonic Chronicles. People that grab the game can then access a website and enter a code that is included with the game’s instruction booklet. If your code wins, you get a shirt like the one above. Click here to [...]

I don’t even know what this character is, but I’d be proud to carry my DS around in that case. Yeah, I’m manly enough…are you?! Link

Some bits of shovelware still sneak through to the Wii. Check out more screens here

Warner Bros. is snatching up Midway. We’ve talked about this for a few weeks now, and last week we said that it was practically a done deal…barring a possible lawsuit from the man that made the Mortal Kombat movies. Let’s say all that gets worked out. What does Warner Bros. actually get out of [...]

Is the Wiimote a perfect device? Of course it isn’t…no game controller is. The game controller is a constant work-in-progress. Each new console usually brings about one major controller change/revolution that the industry decides to follow. This time around, Nintendo paved the way for motion control with the Wiimote. Being first out [...]

These keychains are for the next Pokemon movie, with three special Pokemon making an appearance. Anyone have any guesses as to what these new guys will be? Link

First up, Mr. Nomura discusses development on 358/2 Days, and what the name actually means. “We initially proposed 3 separate titles. Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep from within the company, 358/2 Days from Nintendo, and Coded from Disney. I wrote the lines of 358/2 Days myself. Since it was troublesome when I worked at [...]

Have you been keeping up on your WiiWare releases? I sure have, and there’s been some great content in 2009. I’m pretty sure that the quality is ramping up, compared to last year. There have been a number of critical successes, and moderately big sales achievements. Let’s hope the rest of [...]

We are all wondering what’s going on with Project Sora. No one but the inner-circle at Nintendo knows what is currently in development, and we likely won’t hear about it for a long time. All we can do is keep tabs on what little bits Nintendo lets sneak out. Unfortunately, the only update we [...]

Direct link here It looks like Nintendo of Europe is really pouring a good amount of money into their Trace Memory: R advertising. Seems like that side of Nintendo is big on the title. I think the only hope we have for this title in the states would be if Europe really responds well [...]

Wow…there are some freaky things going on here. Who knew that you could use map-switching to glitch out the game so badly?! Direct link here (thanks ON!)

Ah, it’s the little things that get big laughs out of me. Thanks to thedudewhosadude for the heads up! Link

A portion of a Nintendo Life review… Putting aside a few jumps in difficulty and a rather disappointing multiplayer mode, Ghostbusters: The Video Game is without a doubt the best attempt at capturing the thrill of the movies in digital form to date and a real service to fans who grew up watching the films and [...]

You know what’s equally fantastic and depressing? The fact that Earthbound has such a dedicated fanbase. There are plenty of people that are interested in the series, but Nintendo doesn’t seem to trust the franchise outside of Japan. We can’t even get the Virtual Console release. Quite an uphill battle for [...]

Man, I hope commercials like these really get people to pick up the game. We need big Euro sales for a chance at North American localization! Direct link here (thanks Contra!)

We often hear that games are deplorable, and offer no good to anyone…especially children. Thankfully, the youth of this nation are a bit more aware of how gaming can benefit the lives of many, and in multiple ways. The NYC Youth Media & Technology Festival was recently held, with the aim of teaching the world [...]

Perhaps things aren’t going all that bad for Chinatown Wars. Unofficial numbers show it close to 600,000 units sold worldwide. Maybe this game really can become a million-seller by the time the year closes out. Thanks to Andy of the Sheikah for the heads up! Link
