      Show Link Some Love With His Evolution Poster

      September 28, 2009 /

      History of Link poster.I tried to find a bigger picture of what you see at right, but there just wasn’t much out there so it’ll have to do. That’s a picture of the newest poster up on Club Nintendo, which features Link’s many faces over his 20-year history. The poster is one in a set of three, the other two of which are promos for Phantom Hourglass and Twilight Princess.

      For 350 coins you’ll get this great piece of memorabilia along with the other two posters. To be honest, I don’t even care about the other two posters. This one is good enough by itself. The prom posters measure 22 in x 28 in while the “History of Link” poster comes 16.5 in x 28.7 in.

      Scribblenauts Leak Was Incomplete

      September 15, 2009 /

      Scribblenaut on a dinosaur.Over the weekend an intrepid hacker supposedly dug his way into the heart of 5th Cell’s Scribblenauts and dug out the complete word list. The list, which contained 22,802 words, was then leaked all over the web. It seemed everywhere I looked at least someone had a spoiler alert for the list. Well as it turns out, that list was wrong.

      Speaking to Fast Company, the Scribblenauts lead designer Jeremiah Slackza said the hacker didn’t get things right. “That was leaked by a hacker who does not know anything,” he said. “It’s more than that.” Slackza also revealed the last word added to the game, “Low Rider.”

      I still haven’t played the game, and I’ll admit, it’s driving me a little insane. Knowing that the word count is even higher than that already astronomical 22,802 figure is making things worse. I’m going to go play that other game where you type things in and they show up on screen.

      Nintendo Killed DoubleSys, The iPhone DS App

      August 20, 2009 /

      Nintendo DoubleSys logo.Remember that neat little DS look alike app that appeared on the App Store not too long ago? Well it got pulled, and fairly quickly, and it turns out Nintendo is to blame.

      The news came in the form of an email to CNet columnist Don Reisinger. According to Charlie Scibetta, a spokesman for Nintendo, the company felt it needed to protect its IP rights. “Nintendo respects the intellectual property rights of other companies, and in turn expects others to respect ours as well. Nintendo did seek the removal of this application as we vigorously protect against infringement of our intellectual property rights.”

      Nintendo did more than just pull the app. They’ve also pulled a video from YouTube that displayed the app being used. Apparently they didn’t want anyone else getting any smart ideas.

      Redbox Adds Video Games

      August 16, 2009 /

      Redbox DVD ready for return.If you’re a serious sociophobe when it comes to renting video games you have reason to rejoice today. Redbox, maker of those red…boxes that allow you to be the subject of much animosity as you slowly browse for your DVD of choice, has added video game kiosks to its manless rental station armada.

      For now the selection is pretty slim, and the prices are a little steep. Games will run you $2 a night (by comparison, Blockbuster gives you 5 nights for $9 – then again, they’ll also make you talk to someone; is it just me or have Blockbuster employees gotten ridiculously annoying?) for Wii, DS, 360, PS2, and PS3 titles. Of course they did just launch the service, so selection is likely to improve, but price probably won’t. The stations are available now in the Reno, Nevada area.

      Iwata Thinks Wii/DS Population Could Double Yet

      August 11, 2009 /

      Wii and the DS.In a recent investor Q&A, Satoru Iwata was confident in the continued success of Nintendo’s Wii and DS, pretty much as they exist now. Yes, just as they exist now. No Wii HD. No serious DS makeover. Just the consoles we know and millions love.

      According to Iwata, some 209 million people are actively using Nintendo’s current generation of hardware. He believes there is real potential for that number to double. “Numerically there is still a possibility to even double the current user population of Wii and DS,” he said. Sounds crazy, but to be honest, who thought the Wii would do what it has done so far? The MotionPlus is blowing up and the DS has consistently done well in every market.

      As a word of comfort to investors and gamers alike, Iwata confirmed that the company is not stagnant. He blew the usual huff and puff about hardware development, hinting at the idea that the market just isn’t ready for another console. “When our internal ideas and trend in the world match up, and when it’s clear that we would be able to manufacture an abundant amount at an affordable price, we will be able to publicly speak about next hardware.”
