This has to be some sort of mistake. We’ve already seen/heard rumors of a GoldenEye controller coming down the pipeline, but paying $70 for just the controller? That simply can’t be right. Now, throw in that controller along with the game for a bundle, and that makes sense. If that’s not [...]

There are quite a number of music creation games/software packs out for the DS, as well as on DSiWare. If you’re spending time creating tunes, don’t you want the ability to put them onto your computer, and then possibly onto a CD/MP3 player? I know that I would! Now, thanks to this [...]

With the recent reveal of Nickelodeon Fit, 2K Play looks to capitalize on the still-raging exergaming craze in a fairly unorthodox way. The Wii-exclusive is a youth-oriented, Balance Board-supported title that features characters from Nickelodeon cartoons, including Dora the Explorer, Go, Diego, Go!, Ni-Hao, Kai-lan and The Backyardigans. The game's young players will participate in context appropriate exercises, such as pogo-sticking with Dora (which we all know is the most efficient method for blasting your core).

Scoff as you might, but we don't think this sounds like too terrible an idea. If we had access to an exercise game when we were kids featuring Rocko, Ren, Stimpy and Doug, we probably wouldn't have received a "Laughable" rating on our Presidential Physical Fitness Test.

This sucker was up on Yahoo! Auctions, but was yanked shortly after. Why was the piece pulled down? It turns out that the person auctioning it off decided that he wanted to keep it! Wise choice, my friend.

Whatever you do, don’t forget about Dragon Quest IX! I’m getting a little bit worried about the game, since I haven’t even seen Nintendo’s commercial for this yet. I want to see the series get that big push! Something to elevate the brand in the states a bit more. This is [...]

As the Independent Games Festival enters its thirteenth year, chairman Brandon Boyer has announced a couple of significant changes to the awards format. This year, handheld games -- including those for DS, PSP and iPhone -- will be included in the main judging and be up for the same awards as non-portable titles. A new "Best Mobile Game" category is also being added to the IGF Awards suite; though the separate IGF Mobile Awards will continue as usual. The next IGF Awards event is scheduled for March 4, 2011.

Additionally, the field for the IGF Nuovo Award, which is given to more "abstract" entries, is being widened from five to eight titles. Finally, judging will be overhauled: 170 IGF member judges will evaluate the initial entries, recommending them for specific categories, which will then be judged by smaller, more specialized panels to determine a winner for each award.

The Independent Games Festival runs from February 28 through March 4, 2011, during GDC 2011 in San Francisco. Submissions are now being accepted.

Back during this week in 1997, the Nintendo 64 got a game that changed the course of consoles in a big way. StarFox 64 shipped with the Rumble Pak, a controller add-on that threw vibration into the ring. Man, I was absolutely blown away by that thing when it came out. I [...]

A portion of a Nintendo Life review… T-Rex Rumble would be an automatic recommendation if not for the occasionally dumb-as-a-rock AI of your soldiers, the often glitchy controls and other small flaws. It’s still very much worth picking up, however, as once you come to terms with them you’ll find a very challenging and rewarding experience [...]

As usual, this OFLC listing comes with a ‘multiplatform’ tag, so we have no idea what platforms the game will end up on. On top of that, there’s really no information to discuss about this game. We’ll keep close tabs on the listing to see if Activision drums up any activity soon.
