I’m still waiting on the official Christmas results but the latest sales rankings in Japan have put the Wii miles ahead of it’s competition once again. The PS3 is still doing well but nothing like what it did when Final Fantasy was released and the Xbox 360 is still sputtering along, but at least it beat the PSP Go I …

Can you imagine a world where Mickey Mouse is more recognisable than Super Mario? Well if you can you are likely more than 35 years old as our Italian plumber overtook Mickey as an icon in the early 90’s and hasn’t looked back since. In Disney’s latest attempt to fix this they have thrown oodles of cash at legendary game …

You may remember a couple of months ago we posted about a man by the name of JJ Hendricks buying a gold painted/plated Nintendo World Championship cartridge for $17,500? Well the cartridge is back on the market and is being sold on eBay once again. Why would someone spend $17 500 on a cartridge only to sell it 5 months …

Then Nintendo wanders past and simply makes a bigger, uglier, simpler version of their popular Nintendo DSi …

Remember that potty-mouthed parasite we told you about who tried to sue Sony, on account of the “pain and suffering” he’s incurred after having his PSN account banned? Thankfully – and quite rightly – that suit got thrown out, but that hasn’t stopped Erik Estavillo from taking aim at the other console manufacturers. Estavillo, who suffers from depression, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, …

I am hoping Reggie is telling fibs about the lack of Wii HD in development at the moment as the idea is really awesome. According to Reggie, “I don’t know how forcefully we can say that there is no Wii HD” and “Michael [Pachter] continues to be the only one who believes this is going to happen” Last Updated: November …

Satoru Iwata, Nintendo’s Japanese overseer has been looking a little sullen lately. Probably has something to do with Nintendo’s first profit decline in six years. Not only are Wii sales flagging worldwide – although most notably in Japan, but PS3 sales are up. Way up! So much so that Iwata’s had to concede the fact that they’re now competing directly …
