Even though GameStop somehow got its hands on a Donkey Kong 3D display case, the games retailer is now saying that the game doesn't exist and it should never have been put up in the store in the first place. In fact, a company employee has even been quoted as saying that the displays were essentially put up in error. It does a bit suspect, though. Read The Full Story

Nintendo rejects game for religious reasons, causes controversy

, Mar 1st 2012 Discuss [13]

By any measure, the impending game The Binding of Isaac has a rather dark and weighty tone to it, even though the depiction is old-school and vintage in nature. That's why it got an "M" rating from the Entertainment Software Rating Board, which Nintendo usually allows on its systems, but not this one. Developer Super Meat Boy said Nintendo decided not to offer licensing for the game. Read The Full Story

Could SEGA rescue Sony and Nintendo?

, Feb 22nd 2012 Discuss [5]

Sony and Nintendo have each turned to gaming stalwart SEGA to help them pad out their gaming options, resurrecting classic titles from the company's back catalog for the PS3 and 3DS. The PlayStation Plus gaming membership program now offers six Genesis titles - including Sonic 1 and Streets of Rage 2 - for free download, while Nintendo's Virtual Console for the 3DS will get its own selection of titles from SEGA's Game Gear line-up.

Bizarre 1999 Dreamcast classic Seaman is set to spook a new generation of gamers on the Nintendo 3DS, according to Japanese reports, though it's unclear if Leonard Nimoy will return to the franchise. The game's return is part of Nintendo's plan to bring other classics to the 3D-capable handheld in an attempt to broaden its appeal, the Nikkei reports, with Seaman being just one of the titles apparently in consideration.

Nintendo's 3DS is the company's fastest device to reach 5m unit sales in Japan, the company has confirmed, beating sales records previously set by the GameBoy Advance.

Nintendo 3DS reportedly favored over Vita among developers

, Feb 16th 2012 Discuss [12]

There is apparently a growing trend for game developers to ditch Sony's new portable platform and invest more of their efforts in Nintendo's 3DS, which itself had been previously neglected. This is an odd turn of events from the usual market standard, where developers start with the platform that's released first and then move onto the next big thing. The Vita hasn't even launched in the US yet. Read The Full Story

Nintendo 3DS hack makes Nintendo Zone content available at home

Nintendo brings Pokemon to Nintendo Zone Wi-Fi

, Feb 2nd 2012 Discuss [14]

If, like me, you have a Nintendo 3DS just collecting dust, there's a new push to take your handheld device out into the world and gain access to exclusive content. There are 29,000 so-called "Nintendo Zone" locations throughout the US and Canada. These special hotspots give dedicated content to anyone who pulls out their 3DS, ranging from videos to mini-games. These Zones haven't gotten much traction, but Nintendo hopes they will now that they've evoked the magic word: Pokemon. Read The Full Story

Nintendo Zelda sequel trailer is cool but not real

, Jan 30th 2012 Discuss [7]

In this world, there are people who make games and there are insane, talented fans of those games who create their own amazing adaptations of famous series and franchises. Sadly, these two sides rarely intertwine. Take for example, a recently uploaded trailer for Zelda: The Lost Oracle - not an actual Zelda game, but we certainly wish it were. Read The Full Story

, Jan 30th 2012 Discuss [0]

Nintendo has announced plans to release the pink 3DS - previous sold only as part of an nintendogs bundle - as a standalone color option, unsurprisingly hoping to cash in on Valentine's Day with the $169.99 handheld. Set to go on sale on February 10, the Pearl Pink 3DS is functionally identical to the existing consoles, which means glasses-free 3D, integrated WiFi and access to the Nintendo eShop.

Nintendo reveals 61% profit dive; Wii U on sale by holiday 2012

, Jan 26th 2012 Discuss [5]

Nintendo's fortunes go from bad to worse, with poor sales of the 3DS and Wii between October and December contributing to a 61-percent drop year-on-year of profits, and the Wii U not expected until the very tail-end of 2012. Nintendo announced 40.9 billion yen profit for the three month period, going on to predict full-year losses more than three times greater than previously expected. In fact, Nintendo reckons it may be facing a 65 billion yen ($838m) loss in all, considerably higher than its earlier 20bn yen estimates. Read The Full Story
