Thanks so much to all of you that are following us on Twitter . You guys know how much I dislike Twitter, but if it makes you happy, I’ll gladly do it! Just remember, you won’t get all of our stories on Twitter…just the juicier ones. Enjoy the Tweets, enjoy Cory’s comic, and enjoy the fact that it’s finally Friday! See you all in a few, short hours. Cory had a pretty big week this week! Proving further that he’s a fantastic artist, his work was featured over on the Cave Story WiiWare blog! If there’s any way Cory could get even closer to my heart, it would be with a Cave Story tribute. On top of that, Cory’s GoNintendo comics were featured on Drawn . Cory assured me that Drawn is one of the ‘most prestigious comic/illustration/animation sites out there’. They surely must be, if they’re featuring Cory’s work! Congrats to Cory on all of his hard work. I am constantly proud to feature the ‘bit and run’ series. That sentiment goes for today as well, as we have the 11th installment for you all to check out. I’ve done enough talking…time for the good stuff!

GoNintendo ‘End of Day’ thoughts - Cory Godbey’s ‘bit and run’ #11

What a relaxing night I had. I went and picked up a game, came back to the warehouse and just chilled out with Mom B.. There was some TV watchin, some chit-chatting, and ton of relaxation. I have to make sure I take this approach next week! For now though, it’s on with the regular work schedule! Tonight has ended for me, so I’ll catch you guys in just a few, short hours. Hope you’re all doing well! I have been getting tons of emails about Sony’s GDC 2010 panel concerning Playstation Move. For those that don’t know, Sony has officially given a name to their motion controller setup for the PS3. There’s a Wiimote-like device, as well as a Nunchuk-like device. There’s also a game coming out called Sports Champions that looks a lot like Wii Sports/Wii Sports Resort. The similarities keep rolling in, and Nintendo fans are getting downright fuming over the situation. Some people see these Sony similarities as a positive for Nintendo. This new controller setup for the PS3 has all but confirmed that Nintendo set the motion control trend for this generation. Nintendo alone has made motion controlled gaming a success…so much so that the other hardware companies are pouring millions of dollars into devices that offer motion solutions for their platforms. There’s no doubt that both Sony and Microsoft have seen just how well things worked out for Nintendo, and now those guys want a piece of the motion pie. On the other hand, there are Nintendo fans that can’t believe just how closely Sony is mimicking Nintendo with their motion controller approach. I’m sure the Sony tech will provide a somewhat richer experience, but when it boils down to the nuts and bolts, this is the PS3 Wiimote and Nunchuk solution. There’s a Wii Sports clone in there, and somehow Sony doesn’t seem embarrassed about any of this. You would think that out of sheer respect for the competition, Sony would try to put their own spin on the Wii idea. From what I’ve seen, I really can’t say that Sony went for a brand-new approach, but instead opted for the me-too solution. I’m not trying to say that Sony’s tech doesn’t deserve a shot because it so closely resembles what Nintendo did with the Wii. I’m just, quite frankly, shocked at how little they changed. I guess Sony is doing what they feel is the only way to success and motion-controlled gaming. Now I open up the floor to you guys. You’ve made it very clear that you have opinions on this topic, so hit up the comments section and let loose. Defend Sony, attack Sony…just please keep it civil, and respect your fellow readers!

GoNintendo ‘End of Day’ thoughts - Wiimote/MotionPlus/Nunchuk Vs. Playstation Move: Your Thoughts

Man, I was going along just fine…and then my internet died! I was busy typing up an ‘EoD’ thought on my iPhone, and just as I finished it, the net came back. Quite a frustrating way to end the night, but at least all ended well! You guys enjoy the rest of your night/morning, and I’ll catch you in a few, short hours. This week brought a pretty interesting bit of information pertaining to Netflix. We know that the Wii is finally going to see the service made available, and plenty of people are excited about that. It may be the last console to get into the Netflix fun, but it does have the potential for the biggest impact. While that remains to be seen, now we’re hearing that the Wii isn’t Nintendo’s only platform that could get some Netflix love. As I’m sure you’ve read here earlier, a Netflix survey asked about the potential for their service running on the DS. Could you imagine if that really happened? The power of Netflix in your pocket…or slightly out of your pocket if you’re going to be a DSi XL owner. Either way, having Netflix on the go via your portable gaming device of choice is a pretty big deal. Of course, this survey doesn’t mean that Netflix on the DS is a done deal. As of right now, it’s just an idea being shopped around. I have a simple question for you guys. Is Netflix something you could see yourself using on the DS? If you’re on the road a lot, I think this sort of feature could be a huge deal. A little travel buddy that’s packed with all sorts of gaming fun…or some films if you choose. Leave a comment and let us know what you think of this possible outcome.

Oh my lord…could you imagine what would happen if this project actually came to be? SEGA and Nintendo working together on a brand-new Sonic outing. We’re not talking spin-offs or anything like that. It would be a real-deal 3d sequel to all the previous Sonic the Hedgehog games. Could Nintendo actually help SEGA to make a game that stands out far, far from the crowd? Article here
