We’ve always known that the Wii U, Nintendo news tablet-controlled console would release this year - but we had no idea if that included us, here at the bottom of Africa of indeed that would include a Western release at all. That’s changed - because Nintendo’s harmless-looking, bespectacled president Satoru Iwata (who I suspect is actually capable of great wrath and golden-haired fury) has confirmed that ... [»]
Nintendo’s new 3D handheld, the 3DS hasn’t done so well at retail. Or at least that’s what we’ve all believed. Turns out, that’s not exactly true. Sure, its initial momentum wasn’t exceptionally high - but it’s picked up. Guess that huge price drop’s helped then.According to Nintendo of America’s meaty master Reggie Fils-Aime the device has seen a significant upswing, and has garnered "positive momentum since the digital content came onboard with ...

Black Friday is a curious thing. After Thanksgiving, many US citizens line up in stores that stock electronic goods and proceed to lose their humanity by going absolutely bananas over heavily discounted prices. It’s generally a good time to sell of game consoles, and acts as a precursory gauge for holiday sales. If the Wii’s performance this Black Friday is any ... [»]
DLC for games is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, you get developers who release, actual, meaningful content to keep their games alive after release. On the other hand, its just an endless list of palette swaps and cheap visual aesthetics that don’t actually add anything to a game, while some developers have even gone as far as to sell folks ...

Nintendo’s 3DS launched to much fanfare, selling much of its available stock at launch within its first week at retail, even becoming the company’s best selling system with regards to day-one sales. Since then though, momentum has come to a relative standstill. Nintendo had previously said the reason for the slow sales were down to two stumbling blocks; a lack of big Nintendo games ... [»]
Nintendo’s Wii U is an interesting, intriguing bit of kit. Not only is it supposed to recapture the hearts of so-called core gamers who abandoned the company after it’s causal-friendly Wii, it’s also successfully recaptured the interest of third parties.
The one aspect that the Wii U’s success hinges on in this modern gaming world, is its online services and capabilities. Nintendo’s Reggie Fils-Aime has elaborated on ... [»]
The 3DS is a great little machine. I love mine, and I’m curiously addicted to the system’s built-in added features, like Streetpass. I’ll do pretty much anything to add more people to my Mii Parade. That’s the thing though; I spend more time messing about with that than I spend actually playing games. Since its stellar launch, the 3DS’ momentum has dropped sharply, largely due to a lack of real Nintendo games.That’s one of the problems ... [»]
Sony’s American boss Jack Tretton doesn’t think anything he saw from Nintendo’s E3 Wii-U reveal poses a threat to Sony or its PlayStation 3. In fact, he’s welcomed Nintendo to the party – one that started 5 years ago.“I didn’t see anything about Nintendo’s announcement that said ‘Oh, we’d better get working on rolling out a ... [»]
Thought Nintendo’s star was waning? Think again! The Japanese console manufacturer (and undisputed commercial winner of this generation of consoles) has reported some pretty incredible sales for their hardware during the Black Friday retail rush. It probably helps that they’ve got a pretty good line-up of games at the moment, including the rather endearing Kirby’s Epic Yarn, ... [»]
Hey you, wanna play with a shiny new Nintendo 3DS this Christmas? Well, you can't.
We saw the Nintendo 3DS strutting its stuff with very own eyes at E3 and I can tell you right now that there is nothing else out there that I am more excited for right now. The 3D ... [»]
The Nintendo 3DS is, according to those who’ve gotten a good amount of hands-on time with the device “just about the best thing in the world, ever.†As a huge Nintendo fan, I can’t wait to get my sweaty palms on the device, and Nick – who fell in love with the revolutionary handheld at E3 – constantly reiterates to me that I just think I want it badly, and once I’ve touched one the overwhelming want will consume me. According to Nintendo America’s meaty president, my wait won’t be too long. ... [»]
Reggie really isn’t taking a break from his whistle stop tour of attacking the PlayStation Move. I guess Sony can take it as a compliment that Nintendo are going after them so aggressively but on the flip side Reggie hasn’t yet made any ... [»]
Nintendo of America’s President has become far more outspoken since both Microsoft and Sony stated their intentions of getting into the Motion Control game. In his latest comment he has stated that he doesn’t think any happy Wii owners are going to go ... [»]
Reggie Fils-Aime, President (Nintendo America), has been speaking to IGN about the future and how Sony and Microsoft are entering the motion controlled space. However he isn’t worried, in fact he thinks that they should be worried instead. “I don't worry about what they're going to ... [»]
Sony’s PSP Go! is a sleek, sexy and altogether overpriced handheld that forgoes traditional storage media in favour of digital distribution. Way of the future, right? Reggie Fils-Aime, Nintendo of America’s corpulent overlord thinks there’s no reason for the product to exist. In an interview with the Washington Post, Nintendo’s animated Roast Beef had a few less than kind, but delightfully subtle words about Sony’s new device. He goes so far ... [»]
