It Really is Time for the Wii 2, According to the People who Robbed Me this Weekend

There may be no clear winner in this generation’s console wars, but there is definitely a clear loser, at least according to the people that broke into my apartment this weekend and stole every piece of electronic equipment they could get their hands on.

Nintendo’s New Console ‘Playable By Everyone’ At E3

Nintendo’s confirmation this morning that they’ll be showing their new console at E3 left many unanswered questions, but also raised a note of skepticism. The company’s statement on the Wii successor promises “a playable model” of the machine at E3 in June. But would Nintendo just play it on stage and leave attendees to gawk?…

The Best Nintendo Downloadable This Week Isn’t A Game At All

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. While it could mean anything – we’re not developers, so don’t know the insider lingo used – it is interesting that it uses the word “Cafe”, which is heavily rumoured to be the codename of Nintendo’s new console If you’d like to see…

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.
