Yesterday I posted my thoughts on this whole Nintendo vs. Let’s Play thing. Well, since you can find reasons against this on just about every other website, I figured I’d share this article with you by Greg Lastowka, co-director of the Rutgers Institute for Information Policy and Law. He offers some more insight into other …

I want to start this by saying that I am not a lawyer, law expert, or anyone worthy of citation when it comes to legal matters. These are simply my thoughts on a subject using info that was readily available online. Instead of a Speculation Friday article, I decided that I had to speak …

So the news dropped last night that Nintendo wasn’t going to be having a big E3 conference this year. When I first heard the news I was little shocked, even disappointed, as really the only reason I cared about E3 just decided not to put on a spectacle like the rest. I was also a …

Pach-Attack! 1) No FFVII Remake? Was the person asking the question wondering about a remake or an HD re-release? Because of it was about a remake, I thought the official answer was that it was such a big game, that to make it that big and as pretty as they would be expected to would …

Miles Donovan creates posters surrounding various pop culture icons, mainly from video games and Star Wars. It’s him that makes me wish I understood this kind of art better. I want to say that his style is a mixture of modern and minimalist without going overboard on either. It’s all very simple, not bogged down …

Kotaku has a great article taking an inside look at Next Level Games and their partnership with Nintendo to make the upcoming 3DS game Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon. It’s a really fascinating read with a lot of insider information on how game development works. I hope people read this article and gain a better appreciation …

Pach-Attack! 1) Nintendo Going Sega Okay, something I don’t understand about Pachter criticism. Nintendo has been known to make profits on their hardware and while that has been going down, they are apparently still making a profit. Doesn’t Sony and Microsoft usually sell their console at a loss and expect to make up for it …

So this has been a big deal in the gaming industry for a long time now: are traditional gaming consoles (Wii U, Xbox 360, PSP, 3DS, etc.) losing ground to more multimedia devices like Ipads and other tablets? It’s pretty undeniable that more people are playing games on their tablets than gamers on the …

Another round of Nintendo 48-Hour video challenges. We got a tale of science-fiction, a rap, and an idea of how the writers of the Mario games must feel. All pretty good and I can’t wait to see more.

Pach-Attack! 1 ) A Nintendo Non-Shortage First off, I like how he started that answer off. Loaded indeed. But regarding the actual topic at hand, I can’t really disagree with Pachter. The Wii U probably isn’t the whole hype machine that the Wii was, probably do it being quite as revolutionary not quite as simple, …

What is the obsession with wanting Nintendo to go out of the hardware business? I could not imagine a gaming world where there was no Nintendo. They represent a continuing force of innovation and artful mastery in the gaming industry and the Wii U is just one of those game consoles that will once again …

Mega64 The Wii U update obviously wasn’t that long, especially considering what I’ve gone through with the PS3 and updates. Also, that bit at the end with Iwata and the Haunted Mansion is amazing.

So yesterday Nintendo released a Nintendo Direct that showcased some of their new software coming out for the Wii U and 3DS. The Google maps app looks pretty cool but what I’m excited about is the new Fire Emblem game for the 3DS. The possible return of Marth? Holy crap!

If you didn’t know by now, I love the Wii. It had some of the best games I’ve ever played, even the under rated ones like Conduit 2 and Red Steel 2. I’m glad what it has done to the industry and I love the Kinect and would love the Move if anything good was …

Quick, how many of these Nintendo factoids did you know. Was it the Harufuda cards? The Donkey Kong game being an old Pop-Eye game. For me, it was how high the stacks of Mario games sold is.
