Nintendo: Mobile gaming has yet to prove itself
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 2 Comments
“The content we provide on our handheld gaming is far in advance of what you can pick up for a five minute, ten-minute fix on a mobile phone. To some extent, you’ve seen there have been games [on mobiles] for ages and ages. In our industry there’s always been talk about apps and things coming on… I think it’s grown and there’s so many of them, but the actual business model is yet to be proven to some extent. I know a lot of software developers, when they look at their sales on the mobile phone side [they see] it’s probably at this stage very marginal.” – Nintendo of Europe boss David Yarnton
Nintendo has yet to see an impact on sales from mobile gaming, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it got to that in the distant future. He’s right though: most mobile (phone) gaming is for those quick 5 or 10 minute fixes while you’re waiting somewhere or on a bus to work or something. I know I’ve never played a mobile game for more than a few minutes at a time! Can’t say the same about my DS though.
Mario fan attempts, but fails, Super Mario Bros. speed run in front of Miyamoto
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Videos | 1 Comment
Over the weekend, the Nintendo World Store hosted a party for the 25th anniversary of Super Mario Bros. Shigeru Miyamoto was in attendance, as was Andrew Gardikis, a fan who has previously executed successful speed runs for the game. Gardikis once again attempted a speed run on Sunday, though there was, naturally, more pressure this time around. Unfortunately, he was unable to complete it, but at least it seems everyone has a great time! You can check out more pictures from the event here.

Call of Duty: Black Ops “additional online fee” statement clarified
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 7 Comments
A number of folks started to worry about Call of Duty: Black Ops due to a statement on the Wii boxart, which states that the title “is subject to an additional online fee” when gaming online. Some people assumed that this would mean they would have to dish out extra cash just to play with other gamers around the world. Fortunately, it looks as though the “additional online fee” will only come into play when purchasing downloadable content. A few Wii owners now have the title in their possession, and have written down what is said in the game regarding the online fee. You can check out a partial transcription below.
“Expand your experience with downloadable content from the Call Of Duty Store. All downloaded content includes new features and maps found in Call Of Duty: Black Ops.
**Additional fees may be required for Add-on Content.
This game allows you to connect to the internet and download add-on content (such as data or services) for Wii Points. Please keep the following in mind when downloading licences for add-on content…”
Classic Capcom Arcade Titles Coming to Wii’s Virtual Console Arcade (official announcement)
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 3 Comments
This winter, Capcom is bringing its classic arcade titles to the Nintendo Wii’s Virtual Console Arcade. As previewed at New York Comic Con, six titles will be released in all: SONSON, 1942, Ghosts’n Goblins, Black Tiger, EXED EXES, and Commando: Wolf of the Battlefield. These old-school classics will challenge and bemuse veteran gamers and introduce a new generation to Capcom’s arcade roots. All six titles will be available through the Virtual Console download service in both the US and Europe.
1942 – This classic vertically-scrolling shoot ’em up is perhaps Capcom’s finest moment in the pre-Street Fighter era. Spawning a million clones and re-appearing throughout the history of gaming, 1942’s biplane action needs no introduction. And now, for the first time on the Wii, the original and best version.
