Nintendo Up for Sale?
Saw this great little post over on our SOTW. Looks like the runmor mill is that Cisco is looking to aquire Nintendo. Now is that Nintendo of America or Nintendo Japan? Would this be the whole company or just hardware or software or what? Seems pretty far out but stranger things have happened. The DS [...]

Ode to a Nintendo 64 Handheld!

Word…WORD…is out. Nintendo has announced 10 to 12 titles for the Nintendo DS Launch. Each title will approximately retail for $29.99, not bad considering that’s the average price for GBA games right now. Actually, I’d say that’s pretty damn good. There’s 120 current games in development, and we foresee the majority of those being prematurely [...]
