The 3DS is Nintendo’s next handheld console. It’s a two screen 3D device. One of the games for the console leading the adoption charge is the next in the evergreen Resident Evil franchise; Resident Evil Relevations. Capcom have released a trailer for the Relevations game. The graphics are supposed to have been rendered in “real […]
Violin maestro performs Super Mario
How’s this for a sound system upgrade? Teppei Okada, a violin maestro, gives a real time sound enhancement to Super Mario. In other news; you know you can download Halo music for Guitar Hero 3? Done that. Made it to the end with at least half my fingers still straight. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjcFQquHipE
HD cinematic trailer for an awesome looking The Force Unleashed 2
I didn’t play Mass Effect but Mass Effect 2 was so good I wish I had. Equally, I’ve not played The Force Unleashed but I’m wondering whether I need to invent a way to have 48 hours of game playing in every 24 hours and give it a go. Why? The Forced Unleashed 2 (Xbox […]
Nintendo to produce Mario playing cards
Nintendo – which began life making cards and dominoes – will be releasing some Mario Trump cards and Mario playing cards. As it turns out they’ve sent some bloggers and media some early copies. Now, thanks to andriasang and Anoop Gantayat we’ve got some good photos of what some of the playing card options look […]
Sonic Colours – spelt right and due out late 2010
Here’s an interesting looking game. Sonic Colours might well just be one of the games that suits the Nintendo Wii down to the ground. Okay; it’s a Sega game that you can only play on a Nintendo console. That’s a little interesting. What’s also rather nice to see is that the SEGAEurope YouTube video uses […]
The Great Ghastly
What we have here is a successfull attempt to mix Pokemon with the works of F. Scott Fitgerald. I’m sure that doesn’t happen every day. I actually think The Great Gatbsy is a good read and recommend it. It’s short. With little effort you can say you’ve read a classic. Right now, on Amazon.co.uk, Fitzgerald’s […]
Apple versus Nintendo – what about the WiiPad?
This isn’t a WiiPad. Yup; there’s an iPad. Yup; there’s a WiiMote. It’s actually a jailbroken iPad being used to run SNES games. In this case the iPad is playing Super Mario World. Straight away, I think, this video illustrates what a threat Apple is to the causal gaming hopes of Nintendo and Sony. All […]
Who were the big winners at the MCV Industry Excellence Awards?
MCV are the people who sit between geek gamer culture and the industry here in the UK. Their awards are significant. No wonder 650 retailers, publishers, developers and distributors turned up for Thursday night’s MCV Industry Excellence Awards. We’re sure Geek Native’s complementary tickets were lost in the mail – perhaps caught up in the […]
Xbox 360 is 5 times more likely to break than the PS3 (42 more likely than the Wii)
No Fuss Reviews has the results of over 500,000 responces to a gaming poll that suggests that the Xbox is far more likely to break than the Wii and the PlayStation 3. There is a catch, though. The survey is de-duplicated but it takes no account of marketshare. If more Xbox users responded to the […]
First gameplay footage of Pokemon Black and White
The 5th instalment of the Pokemon series is on its way. As you might expect it’ll be published first in Japan, probably this Autumn, and for the Nintendo DS. The TV show Pokemon Sunday showed a sneak peek of some of the game footage. We can see a cityscape but also that the camera sort […]
