Rumor: Red Wii on its way to Europe, includes New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Wii Sports, and Donkey Kong: Original Edition

I’d say that the image above is pretty legitimate, but consider it a rumor until Nintendo officially confirms the news. In any case, it looks like New Super Mario Bros. Wii will be included in the package, as will the original Wii Sports and Donkey Kong: Original Edition. Yesterday, we heard that Super Mario Bros. will come preinstalled in Japan. But in Europe, Nintendo appears to have swapped that game out for Donkey Kong. Now the only question is, will it feature a few, small changes similar to the items found in Super Mario Bros. Wii?

n-Space facing internal issues

October 9th, 2010 Posted in General Nintendo, News, Written by Valay

In August, it was reported that 25 employees from n-Space were laid off as a result of “momentary reduced demand.” It seemed like the company would be able to rebound in due time, but a rumor recently popped up claiming that the studio would soon be closing its doors. n-Space has since responded to the speculation, and while they admitted they are facing some issues, a statement posted on Facebook says that they are “down, but definitely not out.” We technically still don’t know what’s happening with n-Space, but let’s hope this isn’t the beginning of the company’s existence.

Nintendo is 121 years young today

Nintendo, huh? OLD. Today the venerable gaming company, which has defined so many gamers’ lives—not to mention an entire industry—turned 121 years old.

Most people know this already, but I say it again: Back in the late 1800s, Nintendo was a card company. Since then, it’s created toys, taxi cabs and of course video games.

Happy birthday, Nintendo!

“Back in the late 1800s, Nintendo was a car company.”

Misleading typo is misleading.

If only Nintendo did make cars. My trips to and from work would be so much more fun

Completely unsurprising Wiimote with MotionPlus built in outed by GameStop

Wow! What a shock! GameStop, as they are wont to do with new products and kit, has inadvertently outed an all-in-one Wiimote/MotionPlus combo controller with their listing for the sure-fire sleeper hit of the holiday season, FlingSmash.

Looks like the new controller is going to be bundled in with this game (and probably many others) sometime in early November.

And, since it’s going to inevitably happen, I’ll cut it off right here: No, Nintendo shouldn’t have “had this packed in with the Wii back in 2006.” If you know anything about prices and technology and Nintendo’s low-cost, all inclusive, make-a-profit-from-day-one strategy, an all-inclusive Wiimote on day one back in 2006 would have priced the Wii out of the mainstream’s hands and cut into Nintendo’s profits. Lose-lose.

But it’s still ok for us to claim any sales will come from having a controller in the box like with Wii Play right?

And coming Q1 2011… Wii Remote Plus SUPER – featuring EVEN BETTER motion accuracy and at only 30cm long! Yawn. Motion control novelty has completely worn off, pass me that control pad.

That’s nice. I own two Wiimotes and two WM

Unwound Future astounds and delivers

The credits roll, you watch the epilogue, then you close your DS and stare into space for a moment, your head swimming with thoughts of loved ones, partings, and things you’d do differently in life if you had a second chance. All you can say is,
