Ask Joystiq Nintendo: On rails edition
We thought we would be inundated with questions following E3, but it appears that you guys are still too shell-shocked from the Metroid: Other M trailer to speak. Or from the Wii Vitality Sensor reveal. We don't mind telling you, by the way, that we can't help but be delighted that Nintendo is makin...
Ask Joystiq Nintendo: Demonstrative Edition
This week on Ask Joystiq Nintendo, we have just one question to answer as we prepare for E3. Next week, we'll be at E3, so we're taking a brief one-week hiatus from your questions. Hopefully E3 will answer every possible question you could come up with... right? Right? We didn't think the subject of...
Ask Joystiq Nintendo: StarBlade edition
This week, we take a brief look at a Japanese Virtual Console Arcade game that is quite a bit cooler than expected. At the current rate of one game per week, who knows when this game will reach us (or if), but at least in this case the implications it carries outweigh the game itself. If you want us...
Ask Joystiq Nintendo: Border of Madness edition
This week, we have another question about Nintendo Points, which, we realize as we do these Ask Joystiq Nintendo columns, are kind of weird. The points cards come in different values in different regions, and sometimes even have different costs across platforms! Weird. Also, the usual sadness, this ...
Ask Joystiq Nintendo: Exchange Rate Edition
Just one question this week on Ask Joystiq Nintendo, and we, uh, don't really definitively answer it. But it's a weird enough topic that we felt it was worthwhile to talk about it and tell you what we know. If you'd like us to feebly attempt to answer a question, send an email to asknintendo AT joys...
Ask Joystiq Nintendo: Expressing Interest Edition
In this week's Ask Joystiq Nintendo, a reader brings up a subject we had managed to stop thinking about for a while: the Japan-exclusive Super Famicom remake of The Legend of Zelda. And now we're going to be bummed out all day thinking about all the stuff we're doing instead of playing that. Do you ...
Ask Joystiq Nintendo: Mario hat stand edition
This week, a reader question about Club Nintendo reminded me of the rewards currently available, including the marginally useful, but so pretty Mario Nintendo DS Game Rack. I want one of these, but what would I do with it? Choose eight games to display? I might just get one and use it as a display p...
Ask Joystiq Nintendo: Donkey Kong Generation Gap Edition
This week in Ask Joystiq Nintendo, unfortunately, is all about stuff that just isn't going to happen. The DS might have gotten a browser update with the DSi, but the update wasn't in the area people really wanted. In the process of discussing your questions (which you can send to us by email at ask...
Ask Joystiq Nintendo: Interwebs Edition
This week in Ask Joystiq Nintendo, we deal mostly with issues relating to the DS and the Internet -- how to get online with a DS system, and interfacing with the Internet once you get there. We also start the Countdown to New DSi Colors, for the benefit of those of you who are somehow unsatisfied wi...
Ask Joystiq Nintendo: All DS Edition
In this week's Ask Joystiq Nintendo, in anticipation of the North American DSi launch (and also because we got a bunch of DS questions) we address some of the most worrisome issues related to the DS! Most notably the nagging issue of the DSi's regional limitations, but we also discuss flashcart comp...
