Donkey Kong Country is a franchise that unfortunately isn’t particularly well known in this country. It found its genesis on the Super Nintendo, developed by now Microsoft-owned Rare. It quickly catapulted its way in to gamers’ hearts, becoming one of the console’s hallmark titles; thanks to its venerated game play and – for the time – revolutionary visuals. And though …

Even though I am currently living the marketing experience of gaming it always amazes me how much control publishers and developers attempt to have over their products and how much of the hype can be managed in the months before a title or device is released. The latest example is Nintendo who are keeping dead quiet about the upcoming 3DS …

Thought Nintendo’s star was waning? Think again! The Japanese console manufacturer (and undisputed commercial winner of this generation of consoles) has reported some pretty incredible sales for their hardware during the Black Friday retail rush. It probably helps that they’ve got a pretty good line-up of games at the moment, including the rather endearing Kirby’s Epic Yarn, and the tough …

A future suburb called Arcosur in northeast Spain is under construction at the moment. The nice thing about a new suburb is that you get to name its streets, and the future residents of Arcosur put up an online voting system to see what names they should go with.

Wii Party Reviewed – It’s a Mii, Not Mario!

By Geoffrey Tim
November 1, 2010
in :  Gaming, Reviews
2

The Wii, in its standard definition, waggle-filled lifetime has become the  home of the “party game.” De rigueur collections of mini-games that are designed to be simple slices of gaming, cut up and served for general public consumption. They are sometimes, as is the case with Warioware, deliciously addictive morsels; while more often than not, they’re the scrapings of the …

Reggie Fils-Aime (head of Nintendo of America) was recently interviewed by Forbes during which he chatted about the opposition. Not just the other large hardware and gaming companies, but companies and services that you wouldn’t expect, with Fils-Aime admitting, “I compete with Zynga, I compete with surfing the net, I compete with the newspaper”. He means that he competes with …

Miyamoto “Embarrassed” by Super Mario Bros.

By Geoffrey Tim
October 12, 2010
in :  Gaming
1

I look back on Super Mario Bros with equal parts fondness and reverence. It’s a game that defined the platform genre, and catapulted Nintendo’s first home console to the incredibly lofty successes it experienced, and stands as one of the most important games ever created. The game’s creator, Shigeru Miyamoto doesn’t look back on it with as much awe as …

Remember the Wii Vitality Sensor? It was revealed to the public at E3 2009 and elicited a resounding “What?” from most people. Since then, the peripheral has been on the down-low, but Siliconera has dug up some information on a new Nintendo patent.
