Find the headline confusing? Well, the explanation won’t help to assuage the muddle much. A Nintendo spokesman told Bloomberg Japan that Ninty plans to announce the Nintendo 3DS price and release date on September 29th. Thus far, we’ve only seen speculation about pricing (between $249 and $299) and release dates (between October and March, 2011 ). So yeah, we still don’t know when or for how much  Read More →

Here’s an interesting little tidbit from Japan’s financial newspaper Nikkei . According to an article translated by andriasang — who also provided information this morning on a wireless ebook reader — Nintendo’s 3DS will be able to copy multiple games to internal memory and selected from the menu.

If you’ve been hanging onto that Super Nintendo (or Super Famicom, as it were) and you’ve recently been dealing with the emulation itch , Neoflash just might have the remedy. The Neo SNES / SFC Myth cart is pretty much the most magical cart you... 

Those lucky enough to live in Europe and the UK will soon (as in November 6th soon) be able to purchase a special edition of that black Nintendo Wii some of us have been drooling over for the past few months. Sure, it’s just a regular Wii… but it’s black , which is so much cooler. Well someone’s finally gotten their hands on it and done an unboxing, and we have to say …  Read More →

See that up there? That’s an exercise bike. And a Wii. Amazingly enough, there’s a strong correlation between the two, and unless the entire world is being pranked here, BigBen interactive is actually looking to ship a “full-size” Wiimote-compatible fitness machine with its next game.
