Unofficial Wii Launch Title Lineup

Link: Evil Avatar UPDATE: from a comment in the Evil Avatar thread I linked: For everyone freaking out over there being only 6 launch titles. The list comes from a response to a letter in the pulse section of Nintendo power. Here is the relevant text: "Nintendo hasn't released an official list yet, but the […]

Phil Harrison outlines Sony plans

Link: 1up.com And he doesn't really do a very convincing job of it. Imagine Gran Turismo shipping on a disc with one car and one track. And then you can browse, online, a dynamic circuit of vehicles that's growing every day because either the car manufacturers are adding new vehicles or we're adding new vehicles. […]

Could the Wii get an IM service called !!M?

Link: IGN Wii Nintendo registered some new trademarks this week, including this interesting name. !!M: Could this be something to do with the messaging service patent? How the heck are we supposed to pronounce that? This rumor is flying around the Nintendo blogosphere with absolutely no information whatsoever to back it up. But it’s a […]

So, why are we so excited for Nintendo’s online support?

Link: Nintendo Players I had never even heard of the Nintendo Players website before I came across it. They have a god-awful looking website, but also a very interesting article that looks at all of the officially announced games and what online capabilities–if any–have been revealed for them. The effect when all of this is […]

PS3 launch will definitely NOT be fun

Link: GamesFirst! Looks like the launch day shortages of PS3’s that Sony announced are going to be worse than expected. An internal Gamestop email expressed concern over how many PS3s their chain (which is the largest videogame retailer and includes Ebgames as well) would have available. A local store that received between 50 and 100 […]

Apple is NOT going to buy Nintendo

I can’t provide a single link because there’s so many news sites “reporting” on this. The originating article can be found on Crave, a tech blog over at CNet UK. The originating article also makes sweeping assumptions based on zero fact and only partially possible rumors. It’s basically a gigantic “wouldn’t it be great if…?” […]

Take-Two taking ‘strong look’ at Wii

Link: Next Generation "The positive [aspect] for us is that we haven't been a big player in the Nintendo platform," said Eibeler. "The reception that [the Wii] received at the E3 show is one that makes us take a real strong look at it. As we grow our sports business, there are opportunities with our […]

Thanks for the crack, NC Soft…I was missing that

So, I check my email today and LO AND BEHOLD, there's a message from the crack dealers over at NC Soft letting me know that–out of the kindness of their evil hearts–they have reactivated all inactive accounts for the next week so people who have left the game can come back and try out the […]

Wii virtual console games between $5 to $10

Link: Ars Technica Sounds like a fair price to me. Especially when compared to how Microsoft is handling things on their Xbox Live Marketplace/Arcade service: Retro gaming may prove to be a big boon for Nintendo. Microsoft's Xbox Live Marketplace has already captured the attention of many gamers with games costing 400 to 1,200 Microsoft […]
