Is This A Wii 2 (Project Cafe) Prototype? Or Yet Another Photoshop?

And if it is a Photoshop, it’s starting to seem like the phonies are copying images that could very well be phony. Fantasy feeding fantasy! [Thanks everyone who sent this in!] [Update: Added a second image. Then fixed my post, because I screwed it up. –Joel]

Yes, People Still Buy This Game Boy Advance Game

Japanese website Geimin.net has a list of the top thousand selling games during 2010, based on Media Create data. On the the list, there was one game that stands out. It’s an oddity of sorts. There were 291 Nintendo DS games that made the top thousand, 288 PSP games, 176 PS3 games, 108 Wii games,…

Nintendo Wants “New Approach” With Wii Successor

With the Wii successor, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata said, “We would like to propose a new approach to home video game consoles.” However, don’t count on a 3D home console like Nintendo’s newly released 3D-glasses free portable, the Nintendo 3DS. According to Bloomberg, Iwata said, “It’s difficult to make 3-D images a key feature, because…

Do Not Buy A 3DS From The Home Shopping Network

Your first instinct may be to hate this. For the price-gouging, for the fact they can’t seem to get even minor details right (my what is a 2D camera?). But give it a few minutes and that’s exactly the reason you’ll grow to love it. It’s the Home Shopping Network at its finest! [via Go…

Is There More Pokémon Incoming?

If this blurry magazine scan is to be believed, then a new Pokémon game is right around the corner. This scan is apparently from the upcoming issue of Dengeki Nintendo magazine and reads “the latest news on the newest Pokémon title”. So if this scan is the real deal, does that mean a new spin-off…

Seems Even Nintendo Is Using The Word “Cafe”

This image can be found on Nintendo’s official, internal development support site.

Don’t Worry About Wii 2 Dick Jokes

This is quite silly, but somebody asked me, “Wouldn’t Wii 2 be ‘Weenie’ in Japanese?” Well, not quite. “Two” in Japanese can read as “ni” (ニ) so theoretically “Wii 2” could be “Wii ni”, aka “weenie”, aka “schlong”, “dick”, “woody”, “trouser snake” – you name it! That’s theoretical, however, because nobody in Japan would actually…

Mario’s Creator Doesn’t Want To Talk Wii 2

I’m ready to talk Wii 2. You’re ready. But Shigeru Miyamoto? So not ready. “Don’t ask!” the Mario creator told Edge. “Even when the Wii launched we were developing new hardware, work on 3DS had already started. It’s a matter of when we announce it.” In the past Nintendo has said that it is always…

Dancing Fingers And Super Mario

Dancer Hokuto “Hok” Konishi isn’t usually on crutches, but he tore part of his achilles and paroneal tendon while practicing. Bummed, he tried to figure out how he could dance with what working resources he still had – his arms, hands and fingers. And nothing quite says “upbeat” like Mario music.

Draw Us A Wii 2, Please

Whenever there’s talk of a new video game console, one of the first things to surface are bad photoshops. The next things to surface are bad mock-ups. If you can draw, do you feel like saving us all and doing a good mock-up? This isn’t like our weekly Photoshop contest. We’re not after laughs, shits…

Say Goodbye To The DS Lite

If this image showing an email circulated amongst GameStop stores is legit, then the humble Nintendo DS Lite may now be a thing of the past. Having been first succeeded by two models of the DS, the DSi and DSi XL, and now by an all-new handheld, the 3DS, the writing has been on the…
