By Tyler Lee At a recent earnings briefing, Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata announced Nintendo’s plans for their own online network to compete with Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network. Known as the Nintendo Network, it will be compatible with the Wii U and the 3DS. From the discussion, it appears that the Nintendo Network, like Xbox Live and PSN, will offer communication between users as well as the ability to purchase digital content. The community system featured in Mario Kart 7 was used as a sort of model for the Nintendo Network. Unlike the WiFi system used by Nintendo now, … Continue reading Nintendo Breaks into the Online Network Race→
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword shows the strengths of both the excellent series and the Wii Console. It’s a breathtakingly good adventure game that’s dripping in style and charm.

Both games have been at the centre of a campaign, as US gamers called for the titles to be released in their region.

Game Review- Super Mario All-Stars Limited Edition
The Super Mario All-Stars Limited Edition is packed with many extras, like a soundtrack, ringtones for your phone and a fine collection of Mario games. Its just plain super.
Ghost Mania is a game that lives within your Wii, and can be grabbed as WiiWare. While a really inexpensive and fun title, at its heart it’s just a brick dropping casual game.
Using the Wiimote to stir, salt and shake your dishes in a cooking game makes a lot of sense. Though replay ability is a bit low, you will find the experience a lot of fun.
Not since Metroid Prime have I been able to enjoy a GameCube title as much as I enjoy F-Zero GX, and yes that even includes Zelda: the Wind Waker. F-Zero was always one of my favorite Super Nintendo titles, even if back then it was basically a showcase of the system’s Mode 7 scaling engine. Nonetheless, it was a very enjoyable racer for its time and I still go back to it on my emulators on occasion. Sad to say I never had the opportunity to play the N64 sequel, so I cannot really comment on it, and the GBA … Continue reading F-ing Amazing, but Challenging→
Although I am more partial to the Game Boy Advance than I am to the GameCube, I have wanted to see a fresh, unique GBA alternative to all the SNES ports that have plagued the system. The closest I was able to get to before was Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, but even that is becoming redundant. Leave it to the company who made the GBA to solve my dilemma. Before leaving for E3 I read a review in Electronic Gaming Monthly for a title called Warioware Inc. Considering the pictures that were used in the review, including a black and … Continue reading GBA addict maker→
The original Metroid was one of the first games I played when I got my Nintendo Entertainment System. That was over 15 years ago, and back then it was a milestone in adventure games. Keep in mind that this was during an era when most adventure games only involved horizontal scrolling, and Metroid’s vertical depth added a unique addition to the mix. While it went unnoticed in Japan, Metroid was a huge hit in the States, and went on to span a GameBoy sequel, as well as the Super Nintendo successor, which expanded everything about the original game. I regret … Continue reading Primed for Action!→
