Here’s an interesting looking game. Sonic Colours might well just be one of the games that suits the Nintendo Wii down to the ground. Okay; it’s a Sega game that you can only play on a Nintendo console. That’s a little interesting. What’s also rather nice to see is that the SEGAEurope YouTube video uses […]
The Great Ghastly
What we have here is a successfull attempt to mix Pokemon with the works of F. Scott Fitgerald. I’m sure that doesn’t happen every day. I actually think The Great Gatbsy is a good read and recommend it. It’s short. With little effort you can say you’ve read a classic. Right now, on Amazon.co.uk, Fitzgerald’s […]
Apple versus Nintendo – what about the WiiPad?
This isn’t a WiiPad. Yup; there’s an iPad. Yup; there’s a WiiMote. It’s actually a jailbroken iPad being used to run SNES games. In this case the iPad is playing Super Mario World. Straight away, I think, this video illustrates what a threat Apple is to the causal gaming hopes of Nintendo and Sony. All […]
Who were the big winners at the MCV Industry Excellence Awards?
MCV are the people who sit between geek gamer culture and the industry here in the UK. Their awards are significant. No wonder 650 retailers, publishers, developers and distributors turned up for Thursday night’s MCV Industry Excellence Awards. We’re sure Geek Native’s complementary tickets were lost in the mail – perhaps caught up in the […]
Xbox 360 is 5 times more likely to break than the PS3 (42 more likely than the Wii)
No Fuss Reviews has the results of over 500,000 responces to a gaming poll that suggests that the Xbox is far more likely to break than the Wii and the PlayStation 3. There is a catch, though. The survey is de-duplicated but it takes no account of marketshare. If more Xbox users responded to the […]
First gameplay footage of Pokemon Black and White
The 5th instalment of the Pokemon series is on its way. As you might expect it’ll be published first in Japan, probably this Autumn, and for the Nintendo DS. The TV show Pokemon Sunday showed a sneak peek of some of the game footage. We can see a cityscape but also that the camera sort […]
From Nintendo gamer to sex addict nympho
British tabloid The Daily Star has found itself a story that’s bound to catch geek attention, scorn, debate, humour and perhaps even hope! Amanda Flowers fell off her Wii Fit board and, as a result now suffers from persistent sexual arousal syndrome. Her doctor says a damaged nerve is to blame. Amanda now needs sex […]
Nintendo characters in beads stop-motion animation
Created by Eric Odmyar and accompanied by very NES-like but still funky music from Bunnymajs is this clever piece of bead animation. Through the simple but painstaking progress of moving hama plastic beads around on a grid Eric has expertly animated characters from Super Mario Bros, Mega Man and the Legend of Zelda. Well worth […]
Pixels – 8-bit games attack New York
No surprise that the gamer blogs are going ape over this short film by Patrick Jean. They’ve all found it at once. YouTube lists “Pixels” as one of the most watched videos on the site today. It really is the sort of video that inspires you to tweet or Facebook about. The cool people find […]
Japanese gamers squabble over Xenoblade quality
Xenoblade is the next game in the Xenosaga. Monolith Soft have taken their time over this game and so it comes as little surprise that RPG fans are paying the teaser trailer so much attention. The first thing to keep in mind that this RPG is for the Wii. The second thing to keep in […]
