Naughty Dog Thinks Wii U Isn’t That Special
Posted On 14 Jul 2011 By admin
Justin Richmond, the dude responsible for Uncharted on the PS3 was recently asked about his feelings toward the Wii U. Apparently he's not all that impressed, as it doesn't do anything that the PS3 and VIta can't do. What I find interesting, however, is that he hasn't actually seen a dev unit of the console, nor has he even worked on it. Granted he's not shrugging off the system entirely or mentioning anything about duct tape, so no need to get into a fan boy rage quite yet.

Netflix Froze My 3DS!!! Oh, But It’s Working Fine Now
Posted On 14 Jul 2011 By admin
My first impression on Netflix on 3DS wasn't the best. I had downloaded it before registering, but a simple screen comes up asking if you've already registered with Netflix or not comes up right away. It took me less than five minutes to get to the website and fill out the page to become a member. The 3DS gives you a link to follow and a code to enter, and after that, you're done. After browsing the selection, I clicked on one of the titles to see how it looked. I picked Iron Giant, and while I waited for it to load I went off to go find something to munch on. When I came back, it had finished loading and was going through the intro. The image would blur every once in a while, but other than that everything looked pretty good. The top screen has an 800 x 240 resolution, but it's a nice little screen. Not as pretty as my new HD tv that I hooked up last week in my room, but hey, it's on my handheld! It didn't take a long time to buffer the movie when I compare to how long I had to...

3D Movies? On Your 3DS? It’s More Likely Than You Think
Posted On 14 Jul 2011 By admin
Buried deep within Nintendo's Netflix press release is an interesting bit of information regarding Netflix streaming select 3D films to the 3DS. What's also interesting is that Netflix hasn't actually mentioned doing so. What films they'll release for streaming in 3D is still up in the air, but I'm sure Avatar will make the cut, possibly Up, and Alice In Wonderland, you know, the version where Johnny Depp plays an even weirder version of character's he usually plays. The bigger question is, will this be limited to the 3DS? Will 3D TV owners finally have something to write home about? Jump inside for some speculation ...

Never Rage At Your Friends
Posted On 14 Jul 2011 By admin
Have you ever played with a friend and totally kicked their butt? Like, it wasn't even a challenge for you, and at one point they were boasting how awesome they were at the game with their favorite controller? What if that controller was lime green? What if that particular game was the Super Smash Bros from the N64? Well, whatever you do, don't jump and down and scream at the top of your lungs how much they suck. This video is both hilarious and awesome. wrenthereaper from YouTube has a few rather good short videos that have rather fun effects. I personally like his Elemental Kombat, but maybe that's because the girl just totally rocks. To see the video, click the jump!...

Another Weekly Nintendo Download Update!
Posted On 14 Jul 2011 By admin
Today is the day North America finally gets Netlfix for the 3DS. But that doesn't mean we don't get our weekly goodies for the Nintendo eShop and WiiWare! This week we're getting plenty of games for the DSiWare, though none of them look particularly interesting to me. I will probably have to sign up for Netflix now if I want to use it for my 3DS. I've never really been the movie type, since most of my spare time goes to video games. I tend to bring my 3DS to class, and it'd be nice to be able to sit and watch videos when I'm bored in between lectures. Speaking of playing video games, I finally downloaded Shantae: Risky's Revenge and beat it. I found a few comments on how people really enjoyed the game, and I can say I had a lot of fun with it too. So, now I can suggest you to try Shantae and actually have the personal experience to back it up. For the full list of the weekly Nintendo Download update, follow me!...

Get Your Keyblade Ready, 3DS Owners!
Posted On 14 Jul 2011 By admin
This past week's Famitsu magazine had a bit of information on the upcoming title, Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance. There were no showings of this title at the last E3, so I've found the Japanese trailer for those of you who want a peek. The game is about halfway complete, and the series' next major title will be paved out a bit in this 3DS game. Just so it's known, I am a Kingdom Hearts fan. I'm not a crazed fan though, like my best friend, but I really enjoyed the first installment of the series. To be more accurate, I LOVED the first Kingdom Hearts. I didn't own a Playstation system when it first released, so I often had to play it when I went to my friend's house. I was very excited when the series continued onto Nintendo's handhelds, but I never got the satisfaction out of them as I did the console titles. For the trailer and more information on the series, continue on!...

Miyamoto Strikes A Pose
Posted On 14 Jul 2011 By admin
Have you ever wanted a photo shoot? How about a few snapshots with a Mario figurine? As you can see, Miyamoto doesn't seem very camera shy as he poses with the Wii remote rock style in front of a rather impressive building. You might be able to get a few pictures with a Mario figurine, but I don't think it will have as much sentimental value as he does with it. The people who posted the slideshow titled it, 'Never give Miyamoto a camera', but I will argue that some of these photos are cute. Like the ones with the Mario figurine. Others, like the ones of him in front of the large building, have a darker side that shows a more serious tone with still a bit of fun. To see some of these photos, hit the jump!...
