GoNintendo and GameDaily have chosen our top picks for Nintendo's most annoying characters!Rinry's latest video pits the Nintendo Entertainment System against the SEGA Master System. It's an all-out brawl in the battle of Double Dragon! Click here to check it out!
Nintendo is a very odd company. For example, let's take some news that just turned up a second ago. The Big N has confirmed that, after years of waiting, Super Mario Kart is going to be available on the Virtual Console this coming Monday. On top of that, they've also confirmed Pilotwings and Super Smash Bros. for release during this holiday season. Why now, Nintendo...why make us wait so long, and then randomly dump these games on us?! Don't get me wrong, I'm very happy. I just don't get the way you work! Thanks to Ilikebacon and KingBroly for the heads up!
Again, this article contains a good amount spoilers concerning the first 3 hours of the game. Stay away if you don't want the experience ruined.
This impressions article has to do with the second temple in The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks. If you don't want to have that ruined for you, I suggest you don't read this article.
Wow...talk about a shocker. I'm posting up her entire 'goodbye' which comes in as an IGN Minute piece...
I know how your readers like me to reveal news and surprises in my Nintendo Minutes, and I'd say that today definitely qualifies as my latest surprise.
It's a fact of life that job and family often pull us in opposite directions. As regular readers of this feature know, this has proved particularly challenging for me, as I've spent the last two years commuting almost constantly between San Francisco, Seattle, New York and my home in New England. It has been a fantastic adventure, but the time has come where I need to choose one over the other … and I have to choose my family.
So, as a result, this will be the final "Minute" that I spend with you all, and my last day with Nintendo of America.
During my time at Nintendo I have developed friendships with so many wonderful people, from my co-workers to people I have interacted with along the way, including reporters, bloggers and video game fans like all of you. Those memories simply can't be replaced, and I will take them with me. What I leave behind is a great team that will continue to tell the story of Nintendo's pipeline of wonderful products.
There are hundreds of people I hope I will run across again – and trust that I will. So instead of considering this "game over," I look at my choice as really just finishing one level … and moving on to the next.
Thanks for giving me the opportunity to answer your questions and talk so directly with Nintendo's fans. For now, my "Minute" is up.
No word on who is going to be taking Denise's spot at the moment, but I know that it will not be a position easily filled.
It's no secret round these parts that I really loved Denise, as she was a very down-to-earth person. She helped us out such a great deal in so many ways. I wish the best to Denise, and I hope that some day we get to bump into each other once again. Thanks to all that sent this in.

What's one thing that's a staple of almost all role-playing games? That would have to be level-grinding. It's up to you to drudge through wave after wave of enemies, just to gain a new experience level. While that's all part of the game, what does it say of us as the player? We are willing to mow down thousands of enemies, just to get another level up. It's all for the greater good...right?!
A portion of an IGN interview with Nathan Vella, co-founder and president at Capybara Games...
IGN: Critter Crunch moved around a bit after initial release. There's nothing on Might & Magic that's really "DS-only." Have you guys considered going with other platforms?
Nathan: We would be into bringing it all over the place. We worked really hard to develop a cool, unique puzzle battle system, so we would love to see people playing it on different systems. That's up to Ubisoft though. If it was up to Capy we would port it to calculators and toaster ovens if possible.
