Zelda - The Light of Courage

2005-10-14 1209 UTC

This Zelda, um, “fan-flick” which I was pointed to by Nintendo Gal, is a piss-take executed by a few people on the IGN boards, who after reading a script submitted by a dim-wit, decided to fool him into thinking his work was worthy.
The dancing triforce is comedy gold. This is truly one of the weirdest […]

Metroid Prime 3

2005-08-3 2315 UTC

DS Revolution has the scoop on the first details of Metroid Prime 3. According to the teasers released by Retro Studios, Prime 3 will be the final in the Prime series and will likely be a launch title for the Revolution.
What really got my interest peaked is this comment:

“We don’t plan on using a third-person […]

Blizzard on DS and PSP?

2005-08-3 0850 UTC

I know this is old news so far as the web goes, but damn it I’m going to comment on it.
It seems, according to Pro-G, that Blizzard wanted to know whether people would buy Starcraft on the DS, were it created. I won’t mention how cool that would be (need I even mention the possibility […]

GBA Emulation on PSP

2005-06-22 1256 UTC

Following on from yesterday’s article regarding MAME on the PSP, Engadget has word that there’s a GBA emulator working on the PSP, which is pretty impressive.
But don’t get your hopes up too high, little Jimmy McPirate, I’ve been lead to believe through my various web browsing that GBA emulation is highly CPU intensive, so […]

Past Legend of Zelda Ads

2005-06-21 0547 UTC

Ever wondered what adverts for past Zelda games looked like? Wonder no more, as Legends and Adventures explores a back catalogue of Zelda TV advertising from past years and past systems.
My favourite one is the first, advertising the very first LoZ on the NES. Thick glasses, bad rapping, just geeks gaming - those were the […]

Viewtiful Joe DS Movie

Posted in DS, Nintendo

Viewtiful Joe is one of the many, many, many, many games I desire that have come out in the past three years and a purchase by me of which has been prevented due to my lifestyle as a poor student.
There’s a version coming out for the DS, which looks pretty cool in the video […]

World’s Tiniest NES Controller

2005-06-11 0430 UTC

Engadget has the word of the world’s tiniest NES controller. It’s fully operational, looks the part, and is the size of one of those American “quarters”, however big that is (I seem to remember them being reasonably small, like the NZ 20c piece, which probably means nothing to any of you).
There’s full details on the […]

Revolution Brain Control?

Posted in Revolution, Rumours

There’s been a bit of buzz on game blogs about the latest theory regarding the Revolution’s controller. Infendo sums it up nicely.
Mind control.
My opinion; no. Yes it fits the condition given by Satoru Iwata that the revolution is something that hasn’t been used in gaming before, but the current level of brain input is […]

DS Sells Like Wildfire

2005-06-2 0458 UTC

Not that anyone really wants wildfire, but it’s worth noting that old skool HCG affiliate, The Magicbox (hey Chris!), is reporting that the Nintendo DS was the highest selling game console in Japan for the week of May 16 - 22, 2005. This is no small part due to Nintendogs being the highest selling […]

Nintendo Make Great Hardware - Stop Bitching

2005-05-31 1443 UTC

It’s been a cry made by so many over the years;

Nintendo aren’t number one anymore, why don’t they just quit the hardware business like Sega did?

It’s a cry of ignorance, perhaps a cry for help, but certainly a cry from people who don’t have a fucking clue about the history or current state of […]
