The DS has been in the spotlight for the past few years, leaving the Game Boy line to take a backseat while Nintendo’s new portable soaks up the limelight. But no – The Game Boy Advance is not dead. A Nintendo representative told Kotaku that the GBA is still seeing shipments across the world. In fact, 420,000 units were sold in the last fiscal year.

Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, Rumors | 0 comments
In due time, Mario and Luigi RPG 3 will almost certainly launch in all territories. Until Nintendo shares release date information, however, gamers are left to speculate as to when the game will become available. Two different sources are claiming that the game has been given a tentative scheduled ship date in Europe for July. Website Wii-DS seems to confirm this information based on a promotional booklet, but it’d be best to wait until E3 before believing this rumor.

Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 3 Comments
Every Monday for two and a half years, Nintendo has introduced new downloadable games and applications for the Wii™ console. Today marks a milestone for the Virtual Console™ section of the Wii Shop Channel, home of some of the greatest titles in video game history. The classic The Legend of Zelda™: Majora’s Mask™ becomes the 300th Virtual Console title available for download. It’s one of the highest-rated Nintendo 64™ games of all time, and its three-day time cycle and deeper, darker storyline offer players a different experience than a traditional Zelda game. People who played it years ago can relive their gaming roots, while those who never picked it up can discover its fun and charm for the first time.
Not to be overlooked, the second Art Style puzzle game for Nintendo DSiWare™ makes its debut, along with the WiiWare™ games CRYSTAL DEFENDERS R2 from SQUARE ENIX and Silver Star Chess from Agetec, Inc.
