News:MONKEYS BEHIND THE WHEEL: DIDDY KONG RACING DS DRIVES FANS WILD
News:N-Query
News:Graphs: Nintendo's Image
IGN has a is Nintendo a Kiddy company like article and here is some of it: "Is Nintendo a kiddy company? If you're a fan of the Big N and have been paying even the slightest amount of attention to trends in gaming lately, you've heard this question come up countless times. On one hand you've got a company that got its beginnings over two decades ago, brought such famous titles to the world of gaming as Super Mario, Zelda, and Metroid. On the other hand, you've got games like Pokemon, Pikmin, and Wii Sports; titles that show off a much more age-friendly presentation. Sure these are amazing games - Pokemon is one of the most successful franchises in the history of gaming - but it's hard to be a hardcore Nintendo fan and constantly be bombarded with the perception that Nintendo isn't a company aimed at the "mature" or "hardcore" audience." If you are or are not wondering what i think about this i can careless as long as the games are fun.Unlike kids of today who hate the Mario,Zelda, or Metroid games that are out nowadays because the Graphics are not picture perfect then all i have to say is then stick to the x-box 360 or PS3 if you only want games for the looks and not the fun.You can read the rest of what IGN said above.
IGN has a new N-Query and you can read what they had to say.I don't want to spoiler what my be fun to read.I will say if you were looking for SSBB news you are going to be sadly disappointed because they left us hanging in the SSBB area.

The racing adventure further revs the engines of Nintendo® Wi-Fi Connection, which already has connected more than 3.5 million unique users worldwide for more than 100 million online game-play connections.
