Posted in Rants, Wii
Ok, I admit it. I’m a big Nintendo fan. I grew up playing their games and loved to hate Sega’s Genesis. I also beat most of the games i played including games which most consider difficult such as: Crocodile Dundee, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Metal Gear, Double Dragon, Ninja Gaiden, Contra (with no deaths), all […]

Posted in Mobile, DS, Wii
DS Fanboy has dug up what appears to be a patent application of Nintendo for a gaming phone. It was filed last 2001, way before the phone gaming market even started.
