Some cool scans of Club Nintendo’s “History of Handheld Systems” over at The Bit Beacon.

I’ve seen some cool grocery store soda displays (mostly football oriented) but this one is very impressive:

You used to blow into your NES cartridges to make them work (even though it was probably nothing more than the Placebo Effect). Now you can make some sweet music with your very own Custom Nintendo Super Mario 3 Harmonica!
Wii MotionPlus is A…Plus
August 7, 2009 by 5 Comments
On a whim last week, we purchased Wii Sports Resort and an extra Wii MotionPlus controller. Due to some family commitments, we didn’t crack it open until this last Tuesday.
Our Wii has not been off since.
I don’t know how Nintendo did it, but they have definitely improved on the control scheme of the device. Almost every game in the title is excellent and fun to play. Two of the biggest hits have been the airplane and sword fighting games.
LucasArts, Nintendo beat you. They beat you bad. It’s a shame, because you have the property for it. At any rate, it made me look forward to this game:
I didn’t play the first, but apparently it deals with guns and swords. If Ubisoft can translate the controls well, it’ll be a blast. The cell-shaded style is a plus in my book. Look for Red Steel 2 in 2010 I believe.
Team Ninja+Nintendo=buhwah!?!?

Heck, yes. It does.
We’re all fans of the recent Metroid games here. This one looks like Ryu is in the suit. Please, no waggle.
If you’re a feed reader and don’t see the vid, please come over to our house to play.

Nintendo Gets Closer to the iPod
October 2, 2008 by 6 Comments
They announced the DSi earlier today at it’s Fall presentation.
From what I’ve been able to gather:
- It’s 12% thinner
- It’s $178 (Sorry, Japan only right now)
- It has a camera
- It’s not replacing the DS Lite
- It has an SD slot, but no GBA slot
- It has internal storage and plays music
- It has bigger screens
- It is awesome
My DS Lite is currently going on the fritz. However, it’s too bad this does not look to be released in the States until after Christmas. It would have been the toy of the season. While cool, I think Nintendo is shooting themselves by not releasing it here at the same time.
Nintendo Lunchbox

No, not a retro lunchbox like this one. An actual Nintendo Entertainment System lunch box.

A little foul-mouthed in places (but not really, I just feel obligated to say that), but the payoff is worth it. You can watch the full-sized version here.
(I just noticed this is post 1,001. Nat’s Geometry Wars 2 post was our 1,000th post. Woohoo!)
