DS Web Browser to Send Demo's?

Here's a nice little rumor that has floated into my ear. I am now hearing that the Nintendo DS web browser may give users the ability to download demo's right onto the system very similar to what XBOX 360 is doing. Is there anything that the Nintendo DS can't do? As always, we will keep you updated!

A scan from an upcoming DS RPG project from developer Atlus has hit. The game is titled "Sekaiju no Meikyu". This marks another great RPG on the way for the system. Unfortunately no translation has been given, but check out the scan for some RPG eye candy. The game looks great to me.

Tabel Tennis Wii?

The following story was taken from the good guys at Go Nintendo:

NGCFrance is reporting that Take-Two has vowed their support for Nintendo Wii. Speculation on titles such as their sports lineup of games (Top Spin, NHL2K, NBA2K ect.) is now taking foot, and most of these titles have a fair chance of heading to the Wii. While we have already heard that Take-Two was interested in the Wii after E3, it is still good to hear a confirmation coming from their president.

The other half of the rumor states that Rockstar Games is bringing Table Tennis to the Wii. This title is already out for the 360, which is selling rather well. The table tennis gameplay lends itself perfectly to the Wiimote. While nothing is definite, the team at Rockstar is very excited with the possiblity of this project.

Big props to GoNintendo for this one. As always, we will be sure to keep you updated on the situation.

Disruptive Development; Game ON's Rant

What happens when think "outside of the box" and do something totally different? What happens when you re-name your 5th console something totally unique, something totally different, something so bizarre? What happens when you gather the most recognizable characters in video game history and place them on one system? What happens when you take an idea or a vision, and make individuals "feel" the game with an innovative controller? What happens?

You end up with a product that will push the envelope on how we as gamers play games today. You end up with something that disrupts the norm and places ideas or innovations at the front end of their innovative operation. You see gamers, Nintendo Wii is not Nintendo's 5th console into the everlasting console wars. It's so much more than that. It is a different approach and is going to fundamentally change the way "wii" play games. Nintendo are the pioneers of innovation and they have been, we'll say "mimicked", for their accomplishments. I truly cannot wait to see how Nintendo will fair this time around in the console wars.

Embrace innovation and buy the revolution of gaming on day 1. We will be here with full impressions and would love to hear your stories on launch day. God knows- I am already gearing up for this holiday season. We'll see you on Wiiconnect 24. GAME ON and thanks for stopping by.

DS Can't Get Enough of Mario

This news was found from the good guy at Infendo. They report that;

When asked in an interview with GameDaily whether Nintendo is "looking to do another 3-D Mario on DS," co-series director Takashi Tezuka replied: "Well I'd love to! [laughs] I can't say anything more than that."

He can't say anything more 'cause he wants to, has already asked Nintendo to, and got shot down by management for now? Or the project has already started, and he's not involved yet?


With the recent run away success of the New Super Mario Bros. for the Nintendo DS, a new Mario title would seem appropriate. Will this be the first time in years that we will see 3 Mario games on one system? We will keep you updated as usual.

Weekend Fun

What are you guys playing this weekend? I just got done playing some 4 player Super Smash and it was a blast! The gaming hasn't stopped there either; I let one of my friends kids play brain age and she was hooked! Thank you Nintendo for doing something different. Thank you for innovating the game arena. What's going on in your gaming world? Enjoy your weekend! I will be updating as usual and hanging out with friends and family. GAME ON!!

Mario Reigns Supreme

According to the Bestbuy.com console sales chart, the New Super Mario Brothers for the Nintendo DS took first place from Sony's Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.

Second through fifth places on the chart were as follows; Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day, Big Brain academy, and Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow respectively. Castlevania was not even in the top ten last week, but somehow has shot up to fourth place. If anyone has hints as to why, please let us know.

Another DS title that climbed up the charts was the extremely fun Mario Kart DS, sitting at number seven. The other five spots were 2006 FIFA World Cup for both PS2 and Xbox, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter, Hitman: Blood Money, and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories

It seems that DS titles are still selling strongly and have maintained their presence in the United States as well as Japan. It is great to see how people have been responding to the DS. In my opinion, it is one of the best systems ever and it's only going to get better. A strong lineup of games steadily coming out marks another great year for Nintendo's DS.

Minor Site Updates

Hey guys just giving you a quick update on some site updates that are in the process and that have already been happening around your GameON site. First- we recently added polls to the right side of the screen. Please vote away and if you want to see a specific poll conducted, give us some ideas as to what we can ask you for opinions and we will be glad to add it to the next poll. The current one up and running asks which character should Nintendo include in the upcoming Wii fighter Super Smash Bros.. Brawl., so be heard and as P-Diddy used to say, VOTE OR DIE!

Secondly- With the popularity of podcasts sweeping the "internets" now-a-days, we are definitely looking into this area as a way to express our voice and extend our thoughts and opinions to our loyal readers. Look for this enhancement for the site to come in the near future. We have been looking at adding this feature since day one and now we are ready to move forward. All topics will be discussed so stay tuned.

Finally we would just like to sincerely thank all of you who come to the site every day and support us. Your comments help keep us running and we truly look forward to reading each and every one of them. If you are new to the site, welcome. If you are a loyal reader "thanks".

Remember this is your site, so lets hear from you. Thanks. Stay here, more updates to come! Game ON!

Nintendo Wii Development Kits CHEAP!

We all knew that Nintendo Wii was going to be user friendly and a nice and cheap alternative to 3rd party developers but I didn't know how cheap. Nintendo held a Q&A at the company’s recent Corporate Management Policy Briefing. One of the things discussed was development kits for third party developers. Nintendo said that they plan to get many more third party developers on board than they did with the GameCube, and they’ll do that by offering low prices. Here is what Nintendo had to say:

Nintendo hopes to provide third-parties with development kits for as low as $1,732.

Other companies such as Sony's PlayStation 3 kit is rumored to cost somewhere between $30,000 and $50.000. What an extreme difference in price. I know if I was a 3rd party developer, I would be standing in line waiting for my new Wii kit to arrive. Who knows, "GAME ON" the game...Could happen right? More to come so stay tuned and thanks for stopping by and checking us out.

New Metroid Corruption Info

A load of intriguing information has hit the latest Nintendo Power. An interview with Metroid Prime 3's producer and director have revealed a few updates on the final Prime game for Nintendo Wii. Here are the highlights;

-Samus can go into "hyper mode" as she did in Super Metroid (SNES) at any time for enhanced abilities although increasing your chances of dying.
-Cinematic improvements from previous additions with the Wii hardware being more powerful to work with than the GameCube.

-Larger environments, bloom lighting, improved animations and more.

-Samus can remotely control her ship - lifting huge objects, bombing, area scanning
etc.

-Nunchuck can be used as a grapple with flicking motion.

-No Multiplayer will be included in the game, but Connect24 will be used.

-Corruption will be the last in the Prime series, although Metroid will continue to be expanded and taken forward.

Great IGN Update

The good guys over at IGN have a great read on new details about Nintendo Wii. Everything from Wii to Gameboy Micro was discussed. Here is what they had to say;

June 20, 2006 - So you said you wanted reading material? Well we've got some for you. Earlier today a transcript of Nintendo of Japan's latest corporate management briefing went live on its official site, showcasing over 20 questions about the company policy in regards to nearly every aspect of Nintendo's future. Everything from Micro sales, DS marketing and Wii hopes are covered in this monstrous Q&A session, which is currently the biggest chunk of info released to the public since E3 2006 earlier last month.

Wii Flexes its Graphic Muscle?

Better graphics than what we have seen from Wii? That is exactly what Cubed3 is reporting. Here is what they had to report;

MoSys, Inc. (Nasdaq:MOSY), the industry's leading provider of high-density system-on-chip (SoC) embedded memory solutions, today announced that Nintendo's upcoming Wii video game console uses MoSys' patented 1T-SRAM technology to implement the very high performance memory within the Wii console's graphics system.

This is the latest result from the more than six-years-long technical collaboration between the two companies. Previous generations of MoSys' 1T-SRAM technology were incorporated in Nintendo's earlier game console, the Nintendo GameCube, in 1999, and shipped in multi-million quantities. The newest 1T-SRAM implementations embedded within the Wii console are fabricated using NEC Electronics' advanced 90nm CMOS-compatible embedded DRAM process technology. These high speed and ultra low latency memories are used as the main embedded memory on the graphics chip and in an additional external memory chip.

"We are pleased that Nintendo has again chosen our 1T-SRAM to power their latest generation game console," said Chet Silvestri, chief executive officer at MoSys, Inc.

"Designing the Wii console required an incredible list of breakthroughs in technology and innovation. The performance delivered by MoSys' 1T-SRAM technology is an important element of our solution," said Genyo Takeda, Senior Managing Director, General Manager, Integrated Research & Development Division at Nintendo. "The graphic performance of Wii benefits from MoSys' ability to develop highly innovative and dependable embedded memory products

As always we will keep you updated so keep it here.

New Nintendo Wii Patents

Nintendo has registered a group of names in Japan that all pertain to the company's upcoming console, Wii.

They are (drum roll please): WiiPointer, WiiCulture, and !!M.

While there are no details on what the names mean as of right now, it's safe to say WiiPointer probably has something to do with the remote control (or one of its functions) for the system.

WiiCulture suggests a possible name or service for Nintendo's online system, "Connect 24".

Perhaps the most intruiging of all is !!M, which is the word Wii turned upside down. Pronouncing it may be tricky (bringing back memories of the artist Prince's symbol-name), but it has been speculated that the name pertains to a rumored instant messaging service Nintendo might include with the Wii's online service. As always I will keep you updated. Speculate now and welcome to the site. Leave one in the comment section.
