HM Customs (as in Her Majesty’s – the Queen hates smuggling) has issued a warning against fake Nintendo DS Lites that can (possibly) cause you physical harm as well as financial.
Ack! That Sonic impostor isn’t just horrible, but HORRIBLE and FREAKY. Located in a Chinese department store by a gentleman who said:
I recently visited a friend in China when I spotted this distressingly familiar ‘cat’ in a department store, inexplicably facing the shoe section.
Wonder if this poser could beat Mario in an Olympic race, though… We discovered this shocking bit of non-news over at the delightful UK:R, which, should you care, won “Best Blog” at Games Media Awards. Congrats! Fake Sonic [UK:R] More »
IGN’s Matt Casamassina couldn’t take it anymore. After seeing that both our own Luke Plunkett and the mighty Wikipedia had questioned the existence of the fabled Halo DS, something snapped inside of him. Storming the halls of IGN, he hacked the company’s master computer (password: kotakurulez) and uploaded assets from the game onto the web. And then, in a cocktease sure to break the hearts of fanboys everywhere, he stated: Let’s be clear. This game will never see the light of day. At the same time, the below videos prove that Halo DS wasn’t a garage project by a two-man team. There were some very big names involved with this title, so it’s a shame you won’t get to play it.
Hit the jump for a full motion taste of what could have been while Matt shouts, “I didn’t kill my wife”, and dives hundreds of feet into turbulent, Haloless DS waters. Yes, there’s video that looks slightly more legit. More »
Call it the “Vii”. We’re sure the games are different, but we do admire the effort. The best part of the Vii isn’t how these Chinese copycats have reworked the Wii’s name or snaked its design, but rather, how they totally nailed Nintendo’s ad campaign. Bravo! More »
