One of the Wii U games shown at Nintendo’s E3 2012 press event was Batman: Arkham City, as per the following trailer: As early as its reveal at last year’s E3 conference, the question which has passed many lips– including those of my colleague Matt Green at Press The Buttons— is why are they bothering […]

Perhaps this will seem a little out of the ordinary for this site, but I suppose this could be considered an article about consumer caution. I’m not normally big into magazine subscriptions. In fact, the only magazine subscription I’ve held regularly has been Nintendo Power magazine. Save for a seven-month span from January (Vol. 187) […]

It’s funny. When it comes to memory issues and Nintendo, people immediately point to the Wii. But really, it’s something which has been going on for a while. Looking back, at least as far as international releases go (meaning no Famicom Disc System or Satellaview here), one might point to the Nintendo 64 and its […]

One week from today, on Sunday, December 12th, Nintendo is re-releasing Super Mario All-Stars for the Wii. And aside from some tweaks to the control input to allow for a number of the Wii’s configurations to be used, it is the exact same game that was released on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System back in […]

I do not yet have Kinect, and will probably not be getting it for the foreseeable future. This is not due to any disdain for the product; in fact, I’m quite eager to try it out for myself once the opportunity presents itself. However, the $150 cost seems a bit much, particularly in light of […]

Over at GameSpy, the staff is anticipating the release of the Nintendo 3DS with a touch of skepticism in an article called “The Nintendo Cycle.” Within, they look at “the six stages every Nintendo console goes through (excluding the Virtual Boy, of course).” It’s not a terrible read, though someone really should have caught the […]

Since Nintendo revealed The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword at E3, people have been abuzz about the game. Some have spoken of the 1:1 motion controls, as well as the potential issue that presents for left-handed folk. Some have discussed the art style, and others the plot. And some… have discussed Link’s pants. David OxfordDavid […]

The 2010 San Diego Comic-Con is this week, and as always, it brings with it lots of exclusive toys for attendees to buy. This is often a painful endeavor for those who cannot go, as aftermarket prices can be simply insane, but this year seems worse than ever! Topless Robot has put together a list […]

No RipTen today, I’m afraid; I’ve been far too busy working on Examiner stuff. For starters, we have Toronto video game deals for the week of July 9th to July 15th, 2010. But that’s not where all my time went… No, my time went into this: Nintendo of Canada turns E3 into Eh!3 That wound […]

Recently, Matt Green of Press the Buttons called my attention to a relatively new picture blog called “The Bow on Birdo.” The Bow on Birdo is run by Drew Mackie (not related to this guy… at least, not as far as I’m aware), and is a Mario picture blog which frequently updates, usually daily, with […]

I’ve just posted my Super Mario Galaxy 2 Q&A with Nintendo of Canada’s Matt Ryan over at The Examiner. Feel free to give it a read. To be honest, if you’ve been following every bit of Super Mario Galaxy 2 news as it has come out, you may not find much new here– especially if […]

A new Metroid movie rumor has surfaced, and my oh my, is it ever hilarious. According to RUMORMILLER (via GoNintendo), the lead role of Samus Aran has gone to none other than one Jessica Simpson, who is said to be “excited to restart her movie career.” Furthermore, she is said to be “taking part in […]
