3DS Promotes Walking

Fitness is a big topic these days and especially within the gaming realm. Nintendo first promoted its Wii Fit line of gaming products as a method of losing weight and being healthy. Well, now it seems as if the 3DS is also taking a similar route with a built in pedometer that will earn game coins to be allocated to the game of your choice. Continue reading

Nintendo Wants To Have No Game Pauses With 3DS

Nintendo wants to avoid gaming droughts with the 3DS and have a more balanced release schedule. With 8 games slated for release with the 3DS, and a couple more waiting in the hangars to be launched in due time, I think the first 6-12 months will be ok.

This is important because Nintendo does not want to have a drop in momentum with the software and hardware sales on the 3DS, which is definitely a high end handheld  gaming device. I’m hoping Nintendo can print those games and assemble this gaming console fast enough to keep up with the demands that the 3DS will have in the coming months.

Razor Switchblade = PURE AWESOME

The Razor Switchblade made its debut at CES yesterday. It is a mobile gaming platform that features customizable keys. It is absolutely amazing. Every key on the keyboard is an lcd and can be customized to meet your gaming needs. Even better is the Switchblade’s ability to recognize games and intelligently create a layout for you. The only issue might be the fact that it screen is too small for some games but make no mistake, if portable gaming were to ever take form, this is what it would look like. Continue reading

Nintendo had considered a 3D Gameboy Advance

Nintendo had considered releasing a 3D Gameboy Advance but put the idea on hold until the 3DS. The reason that they put the idea on hold was that the LCD screens back in 2001 didn’t have the quality needed to make good quality 3D screens. Also Iwata let slip that the Gamecube was 3D capable as well too but it would have increased production costs by quite a bit. He also mentioned that they did have a 3D version of Luigi’s Mansion as well. At least Nintendo held off on this technology until now, where 3D screens are readily available and are of a good enough quality to pass their quality control.
