    Why did the Wii cooled off to consumers?

    One theory was from this lady's reply. NPR's Marketplace explains: She and her husband started playing every night for at least an hour. After six months, they got tired of the workouts, so Bewley figured she'd just get a new disc for Christmas. Bewley: But we were really disappointed...

    Nintendo of Europe screws up Mario All-Stars on Wii (its in 50hz, not 60hz!)

    If you've been crossing your fingers for Super Mario All-Stars 25th Anniversary Edition in the expectation of it receiving a PAL-optimised conversion, you can unbend them and start using them to type vitriolic comments now – the package will not be 60Hz compatible.

    What the word "Nintendo" really translates to.

    For years we thought it meant, "Leave Luck in Heaven's Hands.". Apparently...it's a bit darker...with some gambling history behind it. http://kotaku.com/5649625/nintendo-might-not-mean-what-you-think

    Does a gaming console manufacturer need exclusive titles to be successful?

    I am reminded as I look back at every previous generation of certain titles that made a gaming console a must have. For example, Nintendo had its Mario, Link, Metriod, Star Fox, and Donkey Kong. I believe that the birth of the hunger for RPGs was with the SNES. Sega had its Sonic, Sports...

    Would you like to find out how much Miyamoto makes?

    The long-held belief is that Nintendo game designer Shigeru Miyamoto rides his bicycle to work and doesn't make more money than other Nintendo designers. Part of Miyamoto's image is that he's just a regular guy! And that he doesn't take a larger salary than other employees, as Giant Bomb put...
