Wii U launches November 18 [rumour]
It feels like an age since Nintendo announced their next generation console. Their console, the Wii U, would step back into the console-power game albeit not in a crazy way and rather than a Wii-mote as the clever new feature made use of a controller that also had a screen. The jury is out as […]
Sponsored Video: Nintendo Nostalgia means bags of coins for Mario
Ah – the sound of a gold coin being added to Mario’s wallet. It’s gaming culture. It’s right up there with jumping on creature’s heads, avoiding spikes and tracking down Peach. It’s proper Nintendo nostalgia and perhaps that was the emotions and rational behind the shtick in The Super Mario Bros 2. The game is […]
Nintendo’s GamePad announced ahead of E3
Nintendo have held a significant press event ahead of E3. In it the company put the spotlight on the Wii U’s control pad. The control pad is a screen and a console in itself. Now it has a name; GamePad. The device has a gyroscope/accelerometer, a NFC reader/writer as well as a pressure-sensitive touchscreen, d-pad […]
Occupy Mushroom Kingdom: The Best We Can Be – A Princess Peach musical
I can’t deny it. This is a weird video. A Princess Peach musical is odd enough but this one projects warped humour, has an interesting voice of sound and an interesting choice of Princess.

Monster hunting on Google’s 8-bit maps
As an early April Fool’s Google has released a version of Google Maps that is straight out of an 8-bit RPG adventure on the Nintendo. Just hit the quest button in the top right to access the adventure. As experienced 8-bit RPGers know it’s not always safe exploring the map. You may encounter monsters. Try […]
Shaun the Sheep 3D coming to the Nintendo 3DS
Don’t mock. I actually think this is a good idea. It’s a good way for the 3DS to showcase its 3D capabilities and its a good way to get some cash from the franchise for Aardman. I actually think the Vita has the most to benefit from with this sort of distrubution deal (sans 3D, […]
Orchestra recording The Legend of Zelda 25th anniversary special
I think there’s quite a lot of gaming music that reached iconic status. Many people recognise – even if they can’t name the come – Mario’s soundtrack, Sonic, Final Fantasy, dozens of 8-bit wonders as well as some of the new generation. BioShock, for example, is a game synonymus with its musical choices. Zelda’s such […]
