Through this year's E3, we will keep you updated with a daily calendar of the events to look forward on that today. Today, the Nintendo and Sony press conferences, as well as conferences from Ubisoft and Capcom.



Earlier today, the UK Official Nintendo Magazine pulled a reference to an Animal Crossing Wii reveal at E3 this week from their website, likely because it wasn't meant to be public knowledge until the event itself.



Square Enix have today announced plans for not just one, but two new titles featuring the company's famous yellow mascots, both due to appear on the Nintendo DS later in the year.

A week or so ago, we had seen that Square Enix had modified their Japanese site with that of a clock. You are thinking "oh, no big deal, right?" WRONG! The clock seem to have some resemblance to the clock like C to Chrono Trigger, which is without a doubt probably one of the greatest RPGs of all time and perhaps the SNES as well.



Within the past few years it seems Nintendo has been content with keeping Wario limited to the Wario Ware mini-game collections rather than platformers that the rude, greedy, "villain" became famous for. However, information regarding a new Wario game has recently ...



The Wii Fit users may not be dropping the pounds, but if a recent Japanese poll by IT Media is anything to go by, a large percentage of users have already dropped something else... the game.

I won't lie. I did pick up a copy of Wii Fit myself. Lord knows with my lifestyle I need it, and anything that will encourage me to get some exercise is good by me. Did I fall for the hype? Maybe. Will it help people slim? According to Wedbush Morgan’s Michael Pachter, the answer is no.



Recently, Square Enix took a surprising move when they transferred the original Final Fantasy III to the DS, overhauling it completely with a new 3D graphics and refining the gameplay. Now it's Final Fantasy IV's turns, and the newest trailer has a lot of surprises up its sleeve.

WiiWare is a Nintendo provided service that allows developers to develop original games and software for sale and download on the Wii. An official list of launch titles for the European WiiWare service has finally been released.



Nintendo's Wii console, which has been on sales since since November 2006, has finally passed the 6 million sales mark in Japan. On top of this, the unique Wii Fit title has already passed the 2 million sales mark in less than 6 months.



Somehow, in the middle of the night, with almost nobody noticing, Nintendo today launched The Nintendo Channel. It's a new addition to the Wii that lets users preview upcoming titles, receive news, and download playable demos for the DS.



Unique as Wii Fit may be, its certainly an oddity to see a video game focused on healthiness and fitness (not something many of us take pride in taking good care of) being such a hot product with consumers, but apparently that's the case.

Super Smash Bros Brawl has been anticipated for a long time. By pretty much every gamer... ever. The fact that the game has sold over 820,000 copies in it's first week on sale shouldn't really come as any shock, then.

It seems that Japanese gaming mag Famitsu is getting all sorts of details this month, first Street Fighter IV gets 6 new fighters and now they've gone and revealed details for the new Mario Kart for the Wii.



A few days ago, Nintendo compiled a complete list of upcoming releases for the Nintendo DS and the Wii up to the end of Summer.

A recent US study shows playing computer games particularly on the Nintendo Wii can help improve a surgeon's performance in the operating theatre. Wii games that require delicate movements with the Wii remote are said to be the most effective. The control required to play these games acts as a warm up before surgeons have to perform similar movements later on a patients body.



You may have heard about a group of guys over at Cameronbanga.com who tried to beat Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Windwaker, and Twilight Princess in fourty-eight hours. During that event they were taking donations which all went to Child's Play. If you didn't hear, they failed to complete all of the games due to technical and water temple issues. All was not lost as they raised $1,200 for Child's Play.



If you are from Japan this is a no-brainer. Nintendo ... right? Well that depends on who you ask. If you ask pretty much anyone on the planet, you can expect to hear that Nintendo DID in fact create the motion sensing technology for the Wii. However if you ask Patrick Gos...
