Ever since Nintendo went official a while ago with a surprise announcement regarding the upcoming launch of a brand-new portable console in its DS series, we've been eagerly waiting to see what this next-gen console was all about, especially since it promised a world-first in this segment: 3D gaming without any glasses.Back then, the Japanese company told the world that they were going to release the 3DS at the E3 show in Los Angeles, and sure enough, that's exactly what they did, by taking the wraps off this amazing machine, at the same time announcing a huge lineup of applications to go with it.As Nintendo informs us, the 3DS co... [read more >>] Without a doubt, Microsoft's E3 centerpiece was the launch of the Kinect solution for Xbox 360, formerly known as “Project Natal,” a revolutionary movement-based control system that will certainly bring up a whole new category of games and make the Wii seem like “last-gen.” However, the company from Redmond decided to push things to the next level by announcing a long-awaited update to its iconic (yet fairly aging) console, the Xbox 360.The new gadget is quite a sight for avid gamers' eyes, featuring a redesigned, significantly slimmer form factor, with a very cool aspect, angled front side and some fierce ... [read more >>] Ever since Nintendo's Wii gaming console was released, gamers from all over the world have been dreaming of being able to play backup and imported Wii and GameCube games on it. Of course, various solutions allowing gamers to “fulfill this dream” have appeared thus far, but most of them require either a fairly high amount of technical know-how or coughing up some extra cash on a mod-chip.Nevertheless, a company called ShopTemp seems to have come up with a solution that makes things a lot easier for Wii users, namely the WODE JukeBox Standard for Nintendo Wii. According to its own description, this is a solderless modificatio... [read more >>] Well, this is quite an unexpected move by Nintendo. The Japanese company seems to be keen on keeping up its dominance on the handheld gaming consoles market, and for this reason, it's already hard at work on the next-gen DS model, which will apparently arrive this year. And we're not talking about a minor upgrade, but about a full move into the realm of 3D, since this future console will apparently be capable of displaying 3D images without using any glasses.Indeed, that's an absolutely huge step forward, but, for the time being, there's very little information available. In fact, the press release published by Nintendo ... [read more >>] OK, this is just a rumor so far, so don't get all excited; at least wait for the Games Developer's Conference later this week. Whether Sony has really created an add-on for its famous and long time awaited Arc motion controller, we don't know yet, but they will probably showcase it in San Francisco at GDC.On the GAF forum, user ichinisan said yesterday that he had seen a “Wand” type of device that looked similar to Sony product, thanks to “one very big button on top” that has the Sony trademark face buttons X, O, Triangle and Square. This mystery Nunchuk-like controller that we hope user ichinisan hasn... [read more >>] Do you remember that motion controller for the PS3 that Sony showcased back in mid-2009?

[read more >>] Up until now, we’ve been able to go through quite a large number of rumors regarding a possible upcoming, slimmer version of Sony’s already famous PS3 gaming console, a move that made quite a lot of sense, especially since Sony applied the same tactics with its previous iteration, the PS2 model.

[read more >>] Despite the fact that each of the world's three most important video gaming consoles are strongly attached to some iconic colors (black for the PS3, pearly white for the Nintendo Wii and white for the Microsoft Xbox 360), every now and then, their manufacturers come up with special editions, which offer a fairly limited number of different colored consoles.However, this won't be the case at all with the Wii, since Nintendo just announced the fact that an all-black Wii was heading towards the market as we speak and should arrive in stores on August 1.
