Recently, I expressed my disappointment that Rare would exclude so much of its fanbase and target audience in the upcoming Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts by making the text nigh-unreadable on a standard-definition television. Worse still was when they were aware of the...

Nothing like a good Miyamoto interview, and MTV Multiplayer's by Stephen Totilo looks like it may be one of the better ones. It comes in three seperate parts, so there's quite a bit to go over; in fact, I haven't even had a chance to read it fully yet. But here's a...

They say you never forget your first. Of course, this usually applies to... other things: Kisses, girlfriends, cars, sometimes even video games and comic books and the like. But there is another first which is often overlooked: The first enemy you encounter in a video...

One reason I like Reggie Fils-Aime, Nintendo of America President, is because he seems to really, truly enjoy the products Nintendo makes and what they're all about. This is particularly evident as he gives his speech before an audience at the Entertainment Software...

Matt over on Press the Buttons found something neat today that's been lingering for a couple of weeks. Over on Nintendo of Europe's website, they have a three-part interview with the staff of Good-Feel Co., Ltd, the developers of Wario Land: Shake It! Or as it's...

In my continued hunt for the Super Mario Bros. 3 t-shirt, I decided to check eBay again, to no avail. But holy hell, look at what I did find: I'm pretty sure I remember this from when I was growing up; that art came from an issue, the first issue in fact, of Nintendo...

Been spreading this around. One of my biggest beefs with games over the years, particularly as saving has become more commonplace, is the way some developers implement it. Particularly when it is done poorly. Over at Gamasutra, David Sirlin put together nice feature...

A lot of people are upset at Nintendo, because they promised they would be announcing titles for "core" gamers at E3. But, there's one small flaw in that. They never made such a promise. --LBD "Nytetrayn"

From The Mega Man Network's frontpage (which has been up and down like crazy since we broke the NP Mega Man 9 confirmation, sorry folks): Mega Man Star Force, the animated series that is, was pretty much relegated to online showings. For those who may want to watch it...

Ah, the Fourth of July, Independence Day. A day for fireworks, apple pie, and barbecues... to celebrate being an American, while at the same time trying to keep the effect of gas and oil prices on the local economy well out of your mind. Oops. So much for that. In any...

Mega Man 9 is real. It is coming to WiiWare, and I would not be surprised to see it on the other two as well. Check out the story we broke on the internet at The Mega Man Network, from which all the rest followed. ;P Including my own summary of key points of interest...

Lifted from Super Mario Bros. Villain or Obscure Dinosaur? Score: 100% (15 out of 15) --LBD "Nytetrayn"

It's true, the Mega Man Zero Official Complete Works is finally set to arrive, and we've got previews. You can read about it here, or here, or if you need a history lesson, here. Spread the word! --LBD "Nytetrayn"
