It’s going to be a big winter for Nintendo. This week we’ll see a special Wii U preview in the UK. Many people think of the Wii U’s GamePad when the next gen console is mentioned and what sort of games it might support. Nintendo’s cleverness with accessories isn’t just limited to the Wii U, […]

Hiiro no Kakera trailer

February 28, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Hiiro no Kakera was once a game for the PlayStation 2. It popped over to the PSP and even the Nintendo DS. It’s a sign of the depth of the plot that it’s travelled so well and is now coming to life as an anime. There’s usually a busy collection of Hirro No Kakera trades […]

Spider-man: Edge of Time trailer

April 5, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I think the Spider-man: Edge of Time trailer is looking pretty good. There’s certainly an element of grit in this one – does this foreshadow the direction the new wave of Spider-man films will go? It’s not “who watches the watchmen?” but “who saves the hero” and in an time-related action game you don’t need […]

Nintendo Gamecube three times more popular than Xbox 360 in Japan

January 26, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

You might have heard that the Xbox isn’t very popular in Japan. It’s true. There’s lots of reasons why this is the case – it’s the console from America, the games don’t always suit the Japanese market and the PlayStation 2 is so incredibly strong there. The Nintendo DS is even stronger. A recent survey […]

Nintendo’s Jedward ad scores high in “most irritating” poll

January 12, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

A poll carried out by Brand Republic’s Marketing magazine of TV adverts placed the Jedward ad from Nintendo among the most annoying ads of the year. The ad, produced by Karmarama, came in at 7th place just behind the Foxy Bing ad and just ahead of the Moonpig.com ad. Gocompare’s annoying opera singer ad series […]

Sega goes crazy – promotes mutant blue lump / Sonic “hat”

July 13, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood 2 Comments

This blue object is a Sonic the Hedgehog hat. No, really. It is! It’s a magical hat that transforms from “what the heck is that!” to “that’s awesome!” with just the application of a beer (or one small brandy). Let’s say you’ve had that beer (or one small brandy) and now fancy the so-called hat. […]
