Nintendo 3DS Seeing More Interest from Developers Than the Original DS, Hollywood Included

, Nov 10th 2010 Discuss [1]

As we get closer and closer to the launch of the 3DS, which is still a little ways off, it's no surprise to see Nintendo's own Satoru Iwata travelling more and more. While he may not be just going around to specifically sell the 3DS to developers, that's obviously at least one part of the trip. And it looks like it may be paying off, if this new report pans out. According to Iwata, developers are already clinging onto the 3DS, more so than they ever did with the DS, way back in the day. Read The Full Story

Sony PSP2 Shown Off in Private Meeting, Coming Fall 2011

, Oct 25th 2010 Discuss [16]

For a short time, the rumors regarding the second version of the traditional PlayStation Portable were picking up speed, which would lead some to believe that a spy photo would inevitably break cover before too long. But, that still hasn't happened, and in fact the rumors and speculation started to quiet down. We've heard in the past that the device was already in the hands of developers, that the PSP2 would feature a touch-pad on the back of the mobile console, and that it would not only feature a camera on the back, but also one on the front. These new rumors actually enforce a few we've heard in the past, but it looks like Sony isn't in any rush to get the new handheld gaming device to the market. Read The Full Story

If you are someone who's a fan of the PSP, then you've probably desired some kind of dual joystick set up for some time now.

But, thankfully we've got a company like Gametech Bear out there, who have decided to make the desires of so many PSP owners out there finally come true: stick a PS3 controller onto your PSP Go, and bring the full controller happiness to your mobile gaming experience. Just, minus the mobile. Read The Full Story

Nintendo 3DS Priced So High Thanks to Media, Says Nintendo

, Sep 30th 2010 Discuss [4]

When Nintendo showed off the 3DS, the handheld gaming console that would let you play 3D games without the need of glasses (and letting you turn it off whenever you want, too), there general consensus was a good one. It seemed, even if Nintendo didn't have an exact time frame for a launch date (at the time, which they've recently fixed), that the company had a winner on their hands. But, immediately following the announcement, and with Nintendo cleverly not including a price tag, the questions began circulating: how much would it cost. Well, it seems Nintendo didn't have a clear idea either, at the time, but thanks to the positive reports from this year's E3, and the subsequent "gushing" from the media regarding the device, Nintendo made up their mind. And it was a pricey decision. Read The Full Story

, Sep 29th 2010 Discuss [0]

If you hadn't heard, the Nintendo 3DS got an official release date of February 26th in Japan, and it's going to cost quite a bit.

Nintendo DSi XL Review

PSPgo a no go for Dutch retailer

, Sep 16th 2009 Discuss [0]

The first time I heard about the PSP Go, I wondered if most of us were ready for a dedicated game system that lacks a physical software format. Sure, that is basically what the iPhone and iPod touch are, but I don't really think of those devices and the PSP Go as being in the same category. Read The Full Story

Nintendo reminds DSi owners to claim free points

The only game console that we don't have in my house is the DSi. The portable system looks cool and the only real reason we don’t have one is that I can’t talk one of my kids into asking Santa for it. The DSi certainly has some cool looking games. Read The Full Story
