Here we are with Resident Evil Archives: Resident Evil. The game is 13 years old, although only 7 years older than the Game Cube remake it more closely resembles. Sadly, Resident Evil is showing its age. Not in appearance, mind you—the game actually looks quite good—but in how it feels.… Continue Reading »

It’s one of the biggest paradoxes in gaming right now. Hardcore gamers with Nintendo Wiis have clamored that there are no titles released for them. But three Sega titles catering to that niche have met with cool sales so far in 2009. Sega’s first-person shooter The Conduit is the latest… Continue Reading »

Hello, Nintendo Wii, meet the global recession. Gaming retail giant GameStop will be offering a free game with every new Wii purchase - and they’re even offering (gasp!) good Wii titles. It seems that Wii sales have been slowing lately (at least, compared to the insane rate they’ve been flying… Continue Reading »

After a few rather anemic updates, this week’s Nintendo downloadable games are robust, meaty and… extremely eclectic. We’re looking at plenty of action titles (not the least of which is the Genesis’ Secret Command) and Konami’s own awesome-looking Ant Nation. If you’re into “Brain games”, DSiWare’s got Brain Challenge for… Continue Reading »

Can you say, “the dog days of summer”? This Nintendo download update is certainly on the sedate side, with 2 water-based titles on WiiWare (including a fishing game!) and Sudoku (yes, Sudoku!) on DSiWare. I’m interested in the sole VC release, Fantasy Zone II: The Tears of Opa-Opa, and potentially… Continue Reading »

Remember that moldy stereotype that gamers are all overweight, couch-crusty adolescents? Well, we actually have financial proof that it’s not the case anymore (not that it ever was) - in a recent story at 1Up, it was revealed that the new genre of fitness games has created an incredible $2… Continue Reading »

We’re entering summer 2009 with a rather bizarre mix of downloadable games. But on WiiWare/Virtual Console/DSiWare, that’s pretty much par for the course, no? The smart money is on the funky sounding new puzzler from YUKES (NEVES Plus) and potentially the new Art Style game, though if you’re really dying… Continue Reading »

It’s another insanely eclectic week on Nintendo’s downloadable game services. WiiWare is boasting a new Sega game,  fighting kitchen appliances and rainbow islands, DSiWare has your ripoff clock and calculator needs covered, and the excellent Arcade version of Space Harrier wraps up the pickings. Personally, I’m all for the toaster,… Continue Reading »

This one is still technically a rumor until it’s officially confirmed - but it’s a particularly strong one. “Japan’s top economic newspaper”, the Nikkei Shimbun, recently reported that Nintendo is planning a new Mario game for release on Wii in Japan later this year. The same story (via GameLife) also… Continue Reading »

This week, we have plenty of new content across Nintendo’s various downloadable services - though my money’s on the Wii goodies today. On DsiWare, there’s a questionable photo application and a kid-targeted “interactive success story”, but on WiiWare we have promising updates of classic Bubble Bobble and Adventure Island, and… Continue Reading »
