Pikmin Toys
I’ve been lurking on eBay for sometime waiting for the perfect Pikmin toys (at the right price, albeit) to be up for sale. Imagine my surprise when good ‘ol Lik-Sang added some Japan-released Pikmin toys to their catalog overnight.
It’s not the complete set like you might find on eBay. But the price is right at [...]
PSP Leather Folio Sexiness
Make it a matter of opinion, but this is the sexiest leather case for the PSP that I have seen. European maker Noreve tells us:
We launch [on the 20th of April] our first leather case for Sony PSP:
- Elegant case concieved in high quality soft leather
- Access to basic functions (multiple openings on the [...]
Nintendo DS, system of choice for FPS?
Ok, the Nintendo DS is getting plenty of loving, and I’m sending you guys to Kotaku to figure out why. GoldenEye Rogue Agent has been looking interesting for me, even though it may just be a Metroid Hunters minus Samus. But it will have full support for up to 8 players with only one game [...]
Gizmondo Review
Maybe I haven’t been paying enough attention but this is the first real Gizmondo Review I have read. And it’s a doozy. While the author raves about the sleek lines and stylish interface he then procedds to brutally rip apart everything from the launch titles to the weak GPS and battery life. There are also [...]
Ode to a Nintendo 64 Handheld!
Ben Heck did it! He soldered and molded and spanked a N64 system AND controller (very important) into a tiny handheld casing with LCD screen and battery t’boot. And it’s stunningly beautiful. Not sure if its the asthetics that make it so lovely, or just the sight of a N64 and trying to get braincells [...]
TV Shows To Be Released On UMD
On June 14th, Sony will start producing UMDs of popular TV shows. They’ll start with Spider-Man - The New Animated Series, which will retail for $19.95. We’re sure we’ll see more TV-to-UMD releases in the near future.
TV shows on UMD make sense. Except when at a $20 pricepoint. I wouldn’t mind popping in a favorite [...]
Sony PSP Handheld Console Release Date Confused Google
The Sony PSP Release Date was March 24, 2005.
I know, that’s not new news. But it is a fact.
Never trust a cluster of logic based processors to do the work of a semantic PR firm. I was reading the official Google blog today and ran across a post on April 7th titled Just the Facts, [...]
PSP Essentials: Quantaray Aluminium Carrying Case & Sandisk 512MB Pro Duo Gaming Memory Card
Let’s face it - you spent at least $250 on your PSP. The PSP is not a toy, it’s the most high-tech piece of electronic entertainment you’ve ever owned, and you want to make sure it stays in the same condition as it was the day you bought it. So why would you carry it [...]
Apple to Create iPod Game System?
Is Apple considering joining the likes of Nintendo, Sony, and Nokia by creating a dedicated gaming handheld? Well, not exactly. But they are finally taking a closer look at games overall. Spymac effectively aligned some recent facts and rumors that have come to light to conclude that Apple might have something happening in their secret [...]
Nintendo DS Full of Electroplankton
Q: So, Nintendo, we have the DS. We love the DS. But, where are the titles?
A: Japan
Yes, some great DS imports to smuggle from overseas. One of which is the title Electroplankton. We say title, because the word game doesn’t accurately describe what would be happening on your DS screens. Electroplankton is an interactive experience [...]
