The Nintendo 3DS and games hits stores on 3/27, but Nintendo sent mine today, which basically means I’ve got a fight on my hands when the rugrats get home. Ah well, at least I have something to do until school ends. Hey! It’s a 3DS plus a few games! This is what I do for a living. This is work!
Have you ever sat down to enjoy a video game but didn’t have much time to play, only to find out the next thing you have to do is tromp through a really long dungeon or fight a really lengthy boss? Well, now you can choose how long your quests are with Jikandia: The Timeless Land for PSP.
GamerDad is only about politics when it comes to the Right (Think of the Children!) or the Left (Nanny State!) as they pertain to children and media. But I am also a child advocate and while I agree and disagree with both sides of the political aisle, I’m especially alarmed by the GOP budget. Specifically in how it cuts aid to the poor and children. Are you curious about how this can affect you? Well, I’ll let the Children’s Leadership Council fill you in:

Okami was my Best Game of the Year for 2006. It was originally on the PS2 and later ported to the Wii. In the Zelda-style game, you played as a white wolf deity and had to save ancient Japan from evil. It featured beautiful unique graphics that looked like a Japanese painting and clever gameplay gimmicks like the Celestial Brush, which allowed you to draw on the screen to solve puzzles and defeat enemies. Now, finally, the sequel is here on the Nintendo DS. And it’s good. VERY GOOD.
During February and March, Nintendo has been doing a Pokemon Mall Tour to promote the newest games in the series that just came out: Pokemon Black and White versions. This past weekend, the tour was at a mall near where I live, so I brought some of my little brothers and friends with me and took some fun pictures. Click here to read all about it!
I think the Kinect is a terrific technology, but that shouldn’t surprise anyone, I was a huge Eye Toy for PS2 advocate and motion gaming has always loomed large in my career. Back then I called the Eye Toy “the Nintendo product Nintendo didn’t make.” The Wii proved Nintendo had ideas like this but now, I think, their thunder is stolen. Microsoft owns the “movement” genre and that might be bad news for Sony and Nintendo. I haven’t tried the PlayStation Move, so I might be off base, but what I see in Move is Wii 2. Wii 1 was great, but the motion controls never really felt vital outside of the major showcases like Wii Sports. Kinect, requiring no controller, isn’t limited to doing things the Wii way. That could be crucial moving forward.
