SimCity announced for the DS in Japan

Aug 31st 2006 9:39AM (Joystiq)
Guess what? The advisor is none other than a cartoon version of Will Wright.

Not Dr. Wright from the SNES version, but the game creator himself. Nice, huh?

New video of Wii's Avatar in action

[Before you guys go and criticize graphics, you do realize this is a PS2 game ported to the Wii right?] Actually, it's a Gamecube title ported to the Wii.

Wii to tango with Latin America in December, price is high

Aug 7th 2006 6:00PM (Joystiq)
It's all very simple: video game consoles are on the wrong tax bracket down here in Brazil. It's on the same category as gambling machines, so the taxes for these are outrageous. Apart from that, there's the shipping & handling, the vendors' profits... and Latamel (the company which will bring Wii and DS Lite to Brazil) is Nintendo's commercial representative here. Just as they are for other products too.

Anyway, this is just way too expensive, and this will only be solved when the tax law is corrected. :(

Speculative list of Wii games

Blitz Wii Project = Spongebob Squarepants, isn't it?

Nintendo invokes good names to defend a bad one [update 1]

''I mean, what the heck was wrong with 'Revolution'?''

Too pretentious, even if it IS revolutionary. And all this discussion is kinda childish, really... ''ooo, the other companies have named their console SO much better!''. Come on, people, this is getting ridiculous.

How's that third-party Wii support coming along?

Just a heads up: the Madden game for Wii isn't exactly the same one aimed at other consoles.

Forum chatter: Japan responds to Wii

Apr 28th 2006 2:15PM (Joystiq)
Well, ''wii'' or ''we'' doesn't have a meaning in Portuguese. Phonetically speaking, of course.

Castlevania DS: Art Style of Ugliness

Apr 22nd 2006 3:28PM (Joystiq)
Am I the only one to think that Castlevania's art is becoming increasingly tacky as it goes? Seriously, guys. I'm a fan of the series, but I don't like this "gothic, androgynous" look in the least.

Heard@GDC: Darwinia creator slams publishers, developers cheer!

My hero. Darwinia and indie developers FTW!

Revolution editorial reiterates gameplay over graphics

Mar 9th 2006 5:49AM (Joystiq)
Jipped, Matt Cassamassina was the first one to slam Nintendo regarding their choice of downplaying HDTV on Revolution and so on, so it's not like he's a spokesperson for Nintendo. Don't be ridiculous.

And about the Gamecube being a success or not... the worldwide userbase difference between the Xbox and the Gamecube is so small comparatively that it seems ridiculous to say something along the lines of "Nintendo couldn't market condoms in a brothel". Even if the Xbox was the first home console from MS.

It seems like it's trendy to diss Nintendo these days, sheesh...
