    Gamezebo Presents: The Retro Nintendo Gamer Bundle

    By

    If you're in your early thirties like I am, there's a pretty good chance your passion for gaming started with three little letters: NES. Back in 1985 the Nintendo Entertainment System ushered in a new era for home video games, establishing formulas that game designers still look to nearly 30 years later.Don't you wish you could still play those games the way they were meant to be played?While Gamezebo hasn't perfected a time machine, and we're not quite technical enough to repair the busted old NES that's hiding in your closet, we are prepared to give you the next best thing: the RetroN Gaming System.RetroN can play all of your original NES games, and you can snag one right now (with two controllers) for just $18.99. And there's free shipping, so when we say $18.99, we mean $18.99. Not enough for you? You can bundle it together with two games of your choosing for $39, or bundle it with two games, a third controller (this one looks like the classic), and a light gun for $59!More details - and your chance to buy - can be found at deals.gamezebo.com.

    Wii U’s Miiverse social network coming to smartphones this spring

    By

    The question of whether or not Nintendo will develop games for iOS or Android remains as unresolved as ever, but they announced earlier this morning they'll be bringing the Wii U-based Miiverse social network to smartphones this spring. And in what is likely an attempt to stoke the flames of rivalry between Android and iOS owners, they didn't specify which operating systems it will launch on. Well played, Nintendo.

    Official Pokedex app arrives on iOS

    The App Store has been home to sundry Pokedex apps over the years, but none of them have been official (or very good). That all changes today. The Pokemon Company - also known as the branch of Nintendo that controls the marketing and licensing of the Pokemon series - has launched an official Pokedex app, including 3D models of every single Pocket Monster, as well as enough data to fill an entire set of encyclopedias.

Even though he's the property of Nintendo, Miyamoto's not afraid to talk about outside games that he loves and admires. During a recent interview that was conducted in Paris, he said that he holds affection for Angry Birds, one of the most popular games on iOS.

    Sony says it’s open to putting its IPs on social and mobile platforms

    Gaming is becoming more and more fragmented thanks to the availability of multiple consoles, phones, and handhelds, to say nothing of all the free stuff that's available on Facebook. It's enough to make a game lover ask, "Why can't we live in peace? Why can't console engineers just put some of their exclusive IPs on mobile platforms?" Surprisingly, Sony has said, "You know what? That's not such a bad idea."

    And just like that, Apple invents their own Wii U

    By

    When Nintendo unveiled the Wii U at E3 2011 yesterday, our first impression of the device's "keep gaming on your controller without the TV" functionality was that it seemed a little like a reverse version of Apple's AirPlay, but for games. Now Apple is blasting back, albeit indirectly. Top iOS developer Firemint has just announced that Real Racing 2 HD will soon be playable on your TV, using the iPad 2 as your controller. This startling development will all be made possible thanks to the features found in AirPlay, Apple TV, and iOS 5.
