Go Nintendo were lucky enough to receive a copy of Toshio Iwai’s Electroplankton from Nintendo, and did the decent thing in reviewing it.
For those of you who have never heard of this game, which is more a piece of art work than goal based entertainment, Electroplankton allows players to create music by manipulating sea life […]

This got me laughing. It’s not that piss-take of the contoller unveiling that we’ve all seen, it’s a mock-up of how the revolution controller will work; give it a try.

Ikaruga is several years old, first appearing in Japanese arcades in 2001, then on the Dreamcast in 2002 and finally on the GameCube in 2003. I regard it as one of the best games available on the GameCube and as such, I present my review in retrospect.
The crew at Treasure are the sultans of […]

There’s been a bit of talk regarding the hint Nintendo’s Reggie Fils-Aime dropped regarding a redesign of the DS;

as soon as [the DS] was launched, [Nintendo] started looking at ways to tweak it visually.

So, in a few comments threads, I’ve been posting my first concept that I conceived upon hearing about the DS. Back then […]

I’m not a FPS fan. I used to be, back in my teens when Doom and Quake rocked the roost, but so far as I’m concerned, the FPS genre is stale and stagnant.

There’s a few articles I feel I need to comment on regarding the revolution today, but only breifly, since it’s almost bedtime.
Release Date: Firstly, there’s an article over at DS Revolution, stating an official word that Nintendo plan to set the Revolution loose in the 3rd or 4th quarters of 2006. That means I have […]

As noted by 4CR and Infendo, the NES, or Nintendo Entertainment System for the clueless of you out there, has turned 20, at least in the US.
On the 18th of October 1985, when I had been at primary school for just a few months, the grey game oblonge jumped onto the scene, allowing people to […]

1Up has a fantastic article on the certainties and opinions surrounding the Nintendo Revolution.
There’s snippets from developers, both positive and negative. Opinion from gamers and a look at the history of motion sensor-based control systems in video games. A thoroughly good read.

Mario Kart DS is shaping up as what I’ve always imagined the perfect MK game to be. Handheld, fast, fun and playable online. Sure there’s other franchises I’ve wanted similar features on, but let’s be honest here, there’s no substituting the wicked fun wrapped in any long MK vs session.
I’ve had my interest peaked even […]
