"It's hard to say if the last week of the Olympics gave Segas' Beijing 2008 - The Official Video Game of the Olympic Games a boost, but that hasn't stopped the PlayStation 3 version of the game moving up four spots from the previous week, into sixth spot. The Xbox 360 version of Beijing 2008 also made it into the charts, though at the much lower position of number 10. Nintendo's Brain Training series are regular contenders in the charts, with Dr Kawashima's Brain Training: How Old Is Your Brai..."

"Anyone who loves Pokémon® knows a rare treasure when they see one. A treasure that is sure to be sought after is Nintendo’s new Nintendo DS™ Limited Edition Pokémon Pack, which includes a Pokémon-themed Nintendo DS game system and exclusive Pokémon premiums.

Available on Aug. 17, the Nintendo DS Limited Edition Pokémon Pack features a custom Onyx Nintendo DS emblazoned with images of Dialga and Palkia, two of the most legendary characters from the Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl games. T..."

"Nintendo Co Ltd's quarterly profit rose 31.5 percent on the runaway success of its Wii game console, but the Japanese video game maker kept its annual outlook well short of market expectations."

"Lopunny poses like a Playboy bunny in a centerfold spread. Or a prostitute working the sidewalk. Either way, it's sexually suggestive. It also grabs its chest area like it's trying to keep you from seeing the goods. And is it just me or do Lopunny's elbows look like a pair of drooping...boobs? There's so much subconscious sexual imagery going on with Lopunny - if I saw one standing like that at a bar, I might just have to take it home with me."

"Pokemon Graduation Speech Video"

"Who doesn't love a good team-up? Batman and Robin! Artoo and Threepio! Peanut butter and chocolate! Some duos simply belong together. Unfortunately, the latest collaboration between Nintendo and Chunsoft brings together Pokémon and the Mystery Dungeon series for a team-up that's less steak and horseradish than Siegfried and Roy: They're together, and you kinda wish they weren't. But there's nothing you can do about it.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Darkness is actually the..."

"The games let you play as your favourite pokémon, determined by a personality test they conduct at the start of the game. There are 16 to choose from - including four from Diamond and Pearl - while a sidekick pokémon is also selectable to help on the game's quest, which takes place in limitless randomly generated dungeons.

Options in the game include being able to invite pokémon you've defeated along the way to join your team and also a new option to send an SOS mail via wi-fi to friends i..."

"#10 Happiny

It's not like Happiny isn't cute. We would love to pick it up and squish it. It's just that Happiny looks like Kirby in drag, and although Nintendo's pink puffball loves dressing up, we just never envisioned him prancing around as a girl. Hey, we'd love him no matter what he looked like."
