Today at E3 Nintendo unveiled the Nintendo 3DS. It now has two cameras on the lid for 3D picture taking. On the interior it features a 3.5″ 3D screen (no glasses necessary) and a new analog stick. Notice the new placement of the start, select buttons and a new home button. The power button has [...]

Pokemon Black and White will be released for the Nintendo DS system, no word if it’ll have 3DS capabilities. More info on the latest generation of Pokemon will be released on April 15th. I haven’t even played through Pokemon Diamond yet and Nintendo puts out yet another iteration of Pokemon after it’s re-release of Pokemon [...]

Nintendo Starts Rumors about 3DS

Leave it to Nintendo to start rumors about their own products. The Nintendo 3DS would be the 5th generation in the ever growing DS lineup (DS, DS Lite, DSi, DSi XL). 3D is all the rage in recent months and Nintendo is clawing to stay ahead of the iPhone/iPod Touch. The [...]

The DSi LL is the larger brother of the recently launched DSi and is marketed toward an older crowd with it’s larger screens and stylus. Nintendo felt the larger screens would pique the interest of those who like large buttons on their telephones and television remotes. While the large screens make it less compact on [...]

It’s obvious that the Okamiden developers know who their target DS market is. It’s easier to sell a cute pup like this to Nintendogs owners than it is to sell the original snarling wolf. Regardless of what the new Okami looks like I’m sure most Okamiden buyers will be hardcore gamers who have played the [...]

I got a chance to check out the new Grand Theft Auto Chinatown Wars this weekend, and I have to say it lived up to all the hype. GTA Chinatown Wars is already rated as one of the highest Nintendo DS games of all time on the all encompassing Metacritic. From the start of the [...]

Other than the lack of an NFL license the recreated Tecmo Bowl Kickoff for the DS looks just as much fun as the original NES title. The graphics received the most significant upgrade but the developers tried to keep the game-play as close to the classic as possible.
In the features department the game received online [...]

I started playing the new Final Fantasy IV last night and I’m pretty hooked already so I’ll probably be playing that this weekend. The graphics are nice and the gameplay is old school which leads to overall goodness. I’ve never played the original so it’s like a whole new game to me.
Too many games, not [...]

I had a chance to check Super Dodgeball Brawlers for the DS this week and I have to say bringing back this game was a great idea. Even though they didn’t do anything fancy with touch controls the game is still addictive. Tournament mode will keep you playing for a good amount of hours but [...]

Now that my girlfriend is back in the states I get to have my DS back. While she was gone I had been meaning to try this game out and finally I got to playing it last night.
The game is actually really well done. I mean the DS and the Wii have become really huge [...]
