Happy 120th Birthday, Nintendo!




Today is Nintendo's 120th Birthday! It's hard to beleive isn't it!


Nintendo started all the way back in 1889. They were originally a playing card company. The name 'Nintendo' translated literally means 'Leave Luck to Heaven'. The company tried to find it's own speciality for many years (they even created their own love tester!) before becoming one of the most suuccesful videogame companies to date.


Head Past the Break for a Nintendo Retrospective!


New Super Mario Bros Release Date- Nov. 5 (US)



In a recent press release Nintendo announced the US release date for New Super Mario Bros: November 5. Which is the same release date as a well known little FPS.

Also announced in the press release was a Wii price drop. It's been said that PAL regions won't get a price drop but will instead get Wii Console Game bundles. Although this is a rumour.

Easiest Boss Ever



From the game: 'The Incredible Hulk' for the Sega Genesis/Megadrive, is a boss fight that is so laughable. Watch the video above.

Spirit Tracks American Release- December 7




We're getting close to Christmas, so you know what that means; a new Nintendo game of course.


Spirit Tracks official American release date is December 7, just like last year Nintendo is trying to take advantage of the holiday season. This business strategy does work, but the game will sell millions any way.

Scribblenauts- The Hype is over


So Scribblenauts is here, but does it live up to the hype created by excited gamers, and bold claims?

Somewhat.

While it is a heap of fun to play, for some reason I was expecting a lot more. Too much hype really can't do a game justice. But not enough hype will mean not enough people will know about the game and therefore cause mediocre sales.

Although Nintendo may never have this problem. Not because they produce games of the highest quality (they do), but because Nintendo can do as little advertising as they want or give away only the tiniest snippets of information about a new Zelda game or Mario game and the world will still be in absolute pandemonium about the game.

Take, for instance, Super Mario Galaxy 2. All we've seen so far is one trailer but people are already pre-ordering and making fan sites.

Expect a review of Scribblenauts soon.
