On March 10, 2006 Nintendo filed a patent for an “Accelerometer-based controller” in Japan, which is now registered on the US Patent and Trademark database. I wont bore you with the technical details because we know what it’s for, the Wii remote.
 
On further perusal, the patent figures have some interesting tidbits. One sketch shows [...]

Skip released Chibi-Robo on the Gamecube, but not the Chibi-Robo seen in these videos. This gameplay footage is taken from a Chibi-Robo beta where the tiny hero emerged from an orange Gamecube in an inventor’s lab.

Some of you may remember a few months back when we reported that Power Rangers: Super Legends would be the last Gamecube game. Well, things change, and now it looks like we won't be able to say a fond farewell to our Gamecubes with our morphers held high after all. The Gamecube version of Power [...]

Down in the depths of Tokyo Game Show, away from all the blaring speakers and Level 5’s line were a series of student made games. While most of them were for PC or the Xbox 360 (go XNA!) there was a single Gamecube title in the bunch, Blowind. On the surface it is a [...]

Yeah, that’s right, [...]

After reading the disheartening report about the Freeloader I went to check if this wasn't a region problem. I put my version 1.0 US Freeloader in my US Wii and got the same error message. Did Nintendo purposely void the Freeloader? I'm not so sure about that, but there are some mod chips that require [...]

The ultimate secret in Sonic Adventure 2 is a major treat for fans. You get to play the first stage of Green Hill Zone from Sonic the Hedgehog in full 3D. Sure, Sonic Adventure 2 is old, over six years old. But you need to acquire all of the 180 emblems to see this and [...]

One of the creative titles developed by Nintendo on the ill-fated 64DD was a god game known as Doshin the Giant. Doshin would grow in size by doing helping the nearby islanders by clearing land for them and absorbing their love. Doshin could also turn into the hate giant and terrorize the residents, if you’re [...]

Radio Allergy for the Nintendo GameCube has been canceled in North America. Due to the transition to new gaming platforms, retailers are no longer interested in stocking GameCube titles. Milestone is exploring [...]

After slapping it with a Wii compatible label, O3 Entertainment had Radio Allergy (aka Radiligy) scheduled to come out on March 20, 2007. When March passed Radio Allergy had a new tentative date, April 27 and that day passed with Radio Allergy nowhere in sight. Delays are inevitable, but O3 is about to face a [...]
