Nintendo Wii Game News: Nintendo Direct Stream Reveals New Release Dates, Game Details
Posted by G4TV on Dec 27, 2011 | Leave a Comment
Last night (in North America time), Nintendo boss Satoru Iwata got up in front of a camera to host the latest Nintendo Direct. The stream video conference format, last used to announce the recently released 3DS firmware update, was used again as an announcement platform for some big(-ish) Nintendo happenings, namely some key 3DS release dates and game details. Note that all announced dates should at this point be considered "Japan-only."
First, dates. The 3DS Fire Emblem game, bearing...
When Link is Dead
Posted by IGN on Dec 26, 2011 | Leave a Comment
So, apparently, Link is dead.
I’m as surprised as anyone, as aside from some infrequent and quickly corrected Game Over screens over the years, my Link has never personally met that fate. My Link’s always been brought briskly back to life – courtesy of a bottled fairy or the reset button – and he’s always gone on to continue and complete his current quest.
But Nintendo has now declared, via the just-released Hyrule Historia timeline for the Zelda series, that my Link...

Tonight’s Nintendo Direct wasn’t as newsworthy as the first one for those outside of Japan. The pre-recorded broadcast was largely comprised of trailers and release date announcements for 3DS games in Japan.
The new Fire Emblem for 3DS was described as an original game being designed for the handheld. In Japan it’ll be known as Fire Emblem: Kakusei, which in English translates to Fire Emblem: Awakening. The report from earlier today that the first premium downloadable content...

Though many Americans are still at home and relaxing with time off from work for the Christmas holiday, Nintendo is still just as active as ever.

Nintendo DS Game News: Myst 3D Coming To 3DS In Late March
Posted by G4TV on Dec 26, 2011 | Leave a Comment
Myst! It may not be the ORIGINAL PC adventure game (or anything even close to that), but it IS a wildly popular one from a time when CD-ROMs were still considered a new teechnology (CD-ROM being the computer disc-thing that existed before DVD). The game has been ported to numerous platforms since its 1993 release, and now Hoplite Research, the developer behind the previous Nintendo DS and PlayStation Portable ports, is hard at work on a 3DS version of the game.
A press release confirms that Maximum...

Mighty Switch Force Review
Posted by IGN on Dec 23, 2011 | Leave a Comment
WayForward’s weirdos are at it again. These demented minds have already unleashed downloadable madness upon Nintendo fans thrice before – with the adventures of a belly-dancing half-genie, a dimension-flipping wizard and a planet-smashing alien girl – and DSi owners have loved every minute of each one. Shantae: Risky’s Revenge, Mighty Flip Champs and Mighty Milky Way set the high bar for quality on DSiWare, and in so doing also set players’ expectations high for what...
