New Poll Question!!

In light of the recent debate that we had here at VANTAGE on the current console war between Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo, we have decided to relate our new "Poll Question" on the matter.

With so many new games set to be released this year, we would like to know you guys' opinion on which console you think will dominate this year. Some have said that this could be the PS3's year, and some have disagreed! So head on over to the "Poll Segment" and give us your opinion!

Here at VANTAGE, we are very neutral between all 3 consoles. While the only system I own is the PS3, I don't in any way feel like the 360 is lower in quality. It's just that right now, the games I prefer are on the PS3, so please, no personal attacks! We would appreciate your opinions tho.

Nintendo DS In Mario Red For Black Friday

We all know that when Black Friday hits, people in the states head out early in the a.m. to get some serious shopping done!!

So who says gamers can't get in the action right?

Nintendo has recently released a limited edition Mario DS this past Friday. This DS will basically come in a bright Mario red with the "M" logo on its face.

What are you waiting for? Go grab yours now!!

This will also be accompanied by a bundled copy of The New Super Mario Bros.

But this isn't the only limited edition to be released. Nintendo has also released an ice-blue DS, which comes with a custom matching-color carrying case, as well as a copy of, Brain Age.

I don't currently own a DS, and I probably never will. BUT, if I were to grab one, I would definitely grab the Mario edition! It looks really cool, and I love the fact that it's a Mario edition.

What do you think? Comment!

New Nintendo DS With Camera & Music Playback

"This Is So Going In My Blog,"

Rumor has it that Nintendo will modifying their current Nintendo DS, and giving this handheld a camera feature, music playback, and mor epowerful wireless. The camera will probably be incorporated into their games to add something new to your gaming fun. Who knows what Nintendo has up their sleeves this time around.

This will most likely be released in Japan before anywhere else overseas. Repeorts are saying that it'll probably go for about 20,000 yen. The current DS goes for about 16,000 yen. It's also expected to be released around April or May of next year.

I was never really a fan of the DS. I opted for the Sony PSP instead. So I was really surprised when I heard that the Nintendo DS was highly popular in the States. Now that their adding a camera and music playback, the DS doesn't so bad to me anymore. Now that I think about it, this new DS might actually come in handy! I guess we'll have to wait and see for more updates, so stay tuned!

New "Nintendo DS" Rumor

"This Is So going In My Blog,"

rumors have surfaced about Nintendo developing their followup to the successful handheld, "Nintendo DS." People were skeptical at first, but now sources say that this second generation handheld should be making its debut around April or May.

Sources also say that the new Ds will not only be incorporating the touch functionality on both screens, but as well as widescreen ratio. Hard to say whether or not Nintendo will ome out with a brand new design, but we shall soon find out. If Nintendo were to debut the handheld, it would probably be during the Tokyo Game Show which runs tfrom Oct. 9-12. So stay tuned!

I never really had the DS cuz I decided to go for the Sony PSP. But I've learned that the DS had outsold the PSP in sales. Damn. I never really expected that cuz the PSP was just so cool to me, Hehehe! But anyways, Nintendo is always coming out with somehting innovative, so I wouldn;t be surprised if this DS outsells its competitors again!

Wii II: Revolutionary?

"This Is So Going In My Blog,"

Fans of the Nintendo Wii are definitely in for a treat! A follow up to the successful Nintendo Wii may arrive sooner than u think. Nintendo President, Satoru Iwata has been quoted saying that the company is hard at work for the Wii II. AWESOME!

Mr. Iwata had said that the development team had begun thinking about the next best thing as soon as they had finished with their previous ideas. But he was also quoted saying, "but what they think of next doesn't necessarily mean their idea becomes a product."

Fans are definitely looking forward to see how far Nintendo is willing to take the motion sensor concept. I say, "make it virtual reality, and I'm on board." There has been word about a full body motion sensor suit that would capture every movement that the player makes. Another idea is completely forgetting about using the television, and just projecting everything in a mask to create the game! "K, I'm on board!" "What-up" And another idea is a claw-like unit over the head, that would translate brain activity into movement! DAYUM!!

The Nintendo Wii II is definitely something looking forward to. I mean, brain activity into movement, Hello future!! I feel like we're definitely nearing "Back to the Future 2" status!! Now if only they'd release those damn Nike Air McFly's!!
