What to expect from Nintendo this year

2011 was one heck of a roller coaster ride for Nintendo fans, wouldn’t you say? After coming off what I still consider to be one of the top five games to be released on Wii in Donkey Kong Country Returns at then end of 2010, Wii owners were left with little to nothing new to play until the release of Skyward Sword. Sure there were titles to fill the void such as Conduit 2, de Blob 2, and Kir...

PAX Prime attendees get first crack at some new Nintendo games

Heading to PAX Prime? Then you’ll be among the first to play games like Super Mario 3D Land, Mario Kart 7, and many more. I went to PAX East this spring and really enjoyed getting a chance to play the 3DS before it was on sale. In fact, that play time confirmed my purchase and got me to buy one for my wife, too. So is anyone heading to PAX Prime this year? Check out the list of titles past t...

Forget hardware: Nintendo’s problem is lack of games

What’s the cause of Nintendo’s current slump? It has nothing to do with hardware, says Kotaku’since 2009, the company has simply stopped making killer-games: Nintendo’s quandary isn’t how to turn the 3DS into the next DS or as an answer to the iPhone or whatever hardware comparison seems fun to make. Their quandary is where their next Wii Fit is, where the successor to Wii ...

Happy trails: Ten best Wii games remaining

Remember when consecutive vowels were the most confusing thing about a Nintendo system? Those bygone days when console names didn’t end with text messages? And U thought a remote seemed like a crazy idea. Nearly five years have passed since Nintendo launched its revolution, a small white console with a silly name that suddenly doesn’t seem quite so silly. Its pace may have slowed in re...

Gut reaction: What do you think of Wii U?

The console’s graphics look no better than PS3. It features a primary controller that streams video from the console. It’s backwards compatible with Wii games, Wiimotes, and other Wii peripherals. It supports interoperable mutliplayer with 3DS. It appears to have an abnormally high interest from HD developers. Your thoughts?

Good bye, old friend

This weekend marks the end of my DS Lite’s place in my arsenal of gaming gear. It’s been a great pal and was a prime motivational goal for me several years ago to lose some weight. Tonight I’ll take a trip down memory lane with some of my favorite games from the system, like Rhythm Heaven, Chibi Robo Park Patrol, Kirby Superstar Saga, Picross, Puzzle Quest 2, Fire Emblem, DQ9, a...

The Wii games that should be on your radar

Can you hear that? That’s the sound of the Wii’s arthritis ridden bones creaking as it yells at you to get off of it’s lawn. Yes, it seems more apparent with every quarterly report that Nintendo will soon be forced to show their hand and reveal the Wii’s successor. That certainly doesn’t mean that there aren’t any great games left for the console, so with that s...

Review: Get the real inside Story withMario and Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story

Mario and Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story is the third installment in the action-oriented RPG series, and when I say action-oriented you better know about “timed hits”. This time around, the game focus’s more on the King of Badness, Bowser. Something Nintendo has rarely done in previous titles unless you count Super Mario RPG the joint Square and Nintendo venture way back on t...

I’m really starting to like my DSi

The DSi is a fun device. I’m still not sure it’s worth $40 more than the DS Lite right now, since there really isn’t a killer-app for it. The best games can be played on any DS model, after all. And the exclusive DSi online store is still light on content. That said, I had fun browsing channels tonight before firing up Rhythm Heaven on the DSi’s slightly larger screens. I s...
