Nintendo has been selling out of its little white Wii console since its release late last year, and sales of the DS Lite portable have been equally stellar. At last week's E3 video game conference, Nintendo demonstrated that sales of both systems have been fueled largely by groups that aren't typically seen as, well, gamers. Making the systems as accessible to non-gamers as possible was one of ...

We have just limped back from E3, the video game "Media & Business Summit". This conference, held in Santa Monica, CA, was an intense four days of seeing and playing all the video games that will come out for the next year. Sounds horrible, right? We took some time to digest what the major players -- Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft -- had to say, and our verdicts are in. Some of the results ...

Crave is showing off a game that's been a long, long time coming. Napoleon Dynamite is finally making an appearance in a video game and it's a suitably bizarre one to compliment the generally bizarre film. The game, due out for Sony's PSP and Nintendo's DS handhelds, is basically a collection of silly little mini games that are, on their own, fun but not really all that captivating. However, as in ...

Nintendo, it seems, thinks we're all fat and lunkheaded. The Japanese giant has made it clear at this year's E3 video game conference that it is out to fix us. To target both novice and core gamers with its Wii console and DS handheld, the company has promised a suite of new games similar to the simple-yet-genius crossover titles like 'Wii Sports' and 'Brain Age,' with which it found so much ...

Sure, training your brain, that makes sense. But your skin? Not so much. And your face? Even less. But apparently that's the next step for the Nintendo DS. A game that translates roughly into 'Face Training' is being prepped for release (in Japan) that helps you improve your looks though face exercises, or as Nintendo calls it (we kid you not), "facening." The game comes with a stand for ...

While we may think that claims of the Wii being the best thing ever are a bit exaggerated, it's hard to argue with results from a new poll by 'Edge' magazine that found 'The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time' is the best game of all time, beating out other great titles like 'Resident Evil 4' and 'Tetris.' The 10 year-old classic was first released for the Nintendo 64 system but has maintained a ...

If you prefer your portable gaming like you prefer your taxi cabs -- we mean yellow and black, not smelly and unsafe -- then look no further than Nintendo's new Pokemon DS Lite. In addition to the yellow paint job and black accents, there's a matching yellow stylus and an etched portrait of Mr. Pikachu himself. But don't get too excited: The yellow DS is being produced in a limited run and ...

FUN A PlayStation-based cell phone has been rumored to be on the way almost since the day Sony released the PSP. But instead of waiting for Sony to come around to actually producing it, one unscrupulous Chinese gadget maker just went ahead and built one -- kind of. The FUN (pronounced F-U-N, we're guessing, to sound similar to P-S-P) is like a 50 percent photocopy of the PSP that makes calls, ...

Giorgio Armani, Gianni Versace, Dolce & Gabbana. These are the names that immediately come to mind when one thinks of legendary Italian couture. And you can now add Mario and Luigi to that distinguished list. The fashion world has been abuzz since the pair debuted its new line of Nintendo-themed t-shirts, hats, backpacks and other apparel at a recent runway show in the Nintendo World Store ...

Even though you may or may not not look quite as fantastic as Jon Heder does in a silvery-blue unitard, chances are you and the Blades of Glory star have something in common, at least if you're a gamer who likes to play Nintendo DS and Wii. In a recent interview with GameDaily, Jon talks about his holiday gaming antics with his family, creating Mii avatars for everyone, racing his twin in Mario ...
