That’s all about to change in the new entry for the DS and DSi handheld systems. Zelda is coming out of the dungeon and joining the adventure for the first time. Happy Halloween … Boo!October 31st, 2009, 8:21 pm by Jayson Peters
I’m no pumpkin artist, so in case it’s just so bad that you couldn’t tell, it’s supposed to be a Boo ghost from the Super Mario Bros. games. Happy Halloween! UPDATE: Nintendo DSi forced to grow up quicklyOctober 29th, 2009, 8:30 am by Jayson Peters
If rumors in the Japanese press are true (UPDATE: And they are), a version with a 4-inch display will debut in that market this year, in response to demand from older users who find the portable gaming system’s 3.25-inch screen too small. (It’s actually going to be 4.2 inches, according to Kotaku. Plus, Nintendo tells the Gawker network gaming site that the device, known as DSi LL in Japan, will come to the West as the DSi XL early next year.) And the kids who use them play their music too loud and don’t respect their elders these days — but I’m sure Nintendo is working on that, too. Original post: Oct. 27; updated Oct. 29 ‘Resident Evil Zero’ rises again Dec. 1October 29th, 2009, 8:27 am by Jayson Peters
Priced at $29.99, the game is described as a prequel that exposes the back story and internal tyranny of the Umbrella Corporation. Players will explore the origins of the T-Virus in an epic storyline that tells the horrors leading up to the infamous mansion incident. Resident Evil Zero was originally released for the Nintendo GameCube in 2002. The Wii version adds support for the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers.

Whatever will you do with those 500 points? Joystiq has some suggestions. The Internet Channel uses a version of the Opera 9 browser to let Wii owners surf the World Wide Web. It was recently upgraded with Flash support. Nintendo went crazy with the price cuts this weekSeptember 25th, 2009, 9:18 am by Jayson Peters
Actually, what they’re doing is crediting you 1,000 Nintendo DSi Points, so you need a DSi Shop account and access to a wireless broadband connection to take advantage of the deal. The company also announced Thursday that its Wii game Wii Sports Resort, which currently sells for $50 and includes a MotionPlus accessory, would go up in price by $10 on Oct. 12 — but it will now include two MotionPlus units. Score! Wii $50 price cut imminent? UPDATED! Confirmed!September 23rd, 2009, 9:38 am by Jayson Peters
Sony and Microsoft cut the price of their PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles last month, and gaming blog Kotaku has since posted purported leaked images of ads showing the lower Wii price. UPDATED: Nintendo confirmed the Sept. 27 price drop tonight, and announced a Nov. 15 release date for New Super Mario Bros. Wii, which the company is calling “the first truly multiplayer Mario title ever.” Blockbuster Beatlemania: ‘Rock Band’ release partySeptember 8th, 2009, 3:23 pm by Jayson PetersThe Beatles Rock Band goes on sale at midnight tonight, and the Blockbuster store at McClintock Drive and Southern Avenue in Tempe is playing host to a special midnight release party to cash in on this new wave of Beatlemania. Fans waiting in line for their copy ($60 for just the software, $250 for the game bundled with premium instrument controllers) will be treated to a live concert from the AZ Beats, a local Beatles tribute band, from 9:30 to 11:30 p.m. There will also be a pre-release demo and giveaways of game bundles, standalone guitars and standalone software, courtesy of KOOL-FM radio. The rhythm game is available for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii. Also releasing the same day: the entire back catalog of The Beatles’ work, digitally remastered over four years. Nintendo tweaks some stuff, says ‘What console war?’September 1st, 2009, 10:30 am by Jayson Peters
Today the company announced an Oct. 4 launch date for Wii Fit Plus, the sequel to Wii Fit, as well as a black Wii Remote and Wii MotionPlus bundle and a black Nunchuk. In fact, Wii Fit Plus with the Wii Balance Board accessory will actually cost $10 more than the current Wii Fit. (If you have the board already, the game alone will cost you $20.) But no price cut, unless you count the sudden return of the Wii Internet Channel as a free download. The application, which was free for the first few months after the Wii’s debut, was priced at 500 Wii Points (or $5) until today, when it was made free again and received upgraded Adobe Flash support.
