Why the R4 Revolution is the Perfect Companion for Your DS (Lite)
My nephew’s really lucky. It’s his birthday this Sunday and my parents decided to get him a Nintendo DS Lite. Aside from kiddy games like Pokemon Diamond and Mario Kart—none of that gory stuff—an R4 was of course included in the package.
The reason why the R4 is such a great companion for the Nintendo DS is because it lets you place all of your games in one microSD card. A 1GB microSD card was part of the bundle, which means I can put tens, if not hundreds, of games on it. Placing all your games into the microSD and plugging it into the R4 has benefits.
Does Nintendo care about Metroid Prime Corruption?
It looks like Nintendo of America is soooo busy doing PR’s for Wii Fit and Super Smash Brawl that it has forgotten one of the games that gave hope to the Gamecube (not that it had enough, but thats another story). I talked about how Nintendo moved away from catering to the hardcore gamers, and now IGN itself has posted an editorial on how Nintendo has treated Metroid Prime 3: Corruption.

Maximizing Your Wii Experience
I’ve played with a Wii on a large 40″ HDTV. And on a 13″ CRT (talk about old-school!). Can you guess which TV provided a better Wii experience?
No trick question here folks. Playing on the HDTV was a much more enjoyable experience, simply because there was more visual real estate to work with. Many Wii games, such as the Ubisoft shooter Red Steel, require precision with the Wii-mote. Not being able to aim at the right place at the right time and right away literally means your dead.
It’s definitely easier to aim at a particular pixel on the big 40-incher than on the puny 13″ TV. The HDTV’s higher resolution had nothing to do with it. Rather, it’s the bigger screen size that made the experience much more enjoyable. It’ll be easier to make minor adjustments, until your Wii-mote is right on the spot.
