Overall he said he probably won’t buy the game, but that it might be more interesting with a higher difficult setting (or in later stages of the game).

Nintendo: Physical media ain’t going anywhere

I love services like Steam that allow you to play games without owning any physical media. But if you’re someone who prefers holding a game in your hands, then you’ll be happy to hear that Nintendo doesn’t plan to abandon you in the near future.

We have never seen any link between growth in the mobile gaming market and decrease in the normal software market. It’s two different markets, two different topics.

Nintendo Voice Chat Podcast

The good old boys over at IGN have recorded another episode of the Nintendo Voice Chat Podcast. It is one the the least memorable podcasts they have recorded since the new regime took over management of the Nintendo team over at IGN. Craig returned from holidays this week, they call Matt when he was out for fast food with his family, and answer some  reader questions.

The most interesting part of the podcast is when Craig addresses rumors that the 3DS will be launching as early as October this year. Craig thinks it’s coming out this year. Sweet!
