I 
choose you, Pikachu! And so do about 80,000 other gamers.
A user of the online video streaming service Twitch launched an interesting social experiment last week, letting as many people who are interested attempt to control a single Pokémon trainer in the classic Pokémon Red/Blue — at the exact same time.
For 
a game that was used in a tournament in 1990, Nintendo World Championships sure is popular these days.
Copies of the ultra-rare title have been popping up regularly on eBay and commanding eye-popping prices. The question is: Are any of the bids legitimate?
Will 
an as yet unrevealed mystery device be the key to Nintendo turning around its sinking fortunes?
After saying in January that it would report its third consecutive annual operating loss, the company surprised analysts and investors by disclosing that it plans to focus on nonwearable health monitors as part of a new 10-year strategy.
Nintendo 
owns one of the most enviable stable of characters in the video game world, but no one is envying the sad state of the company’s flagship Wii U home console.
In response to significant losses and frustrated shareholders, the company that has created so many icons says it might be open to buying others — or perhaps even merging its portfolio with someone else.
Nintendo 
hit pay dirt with health-focused games like Wii Fit and Brain Age, but those titles were apparently just the start of a much bigger plan.
During a financial briefing in Japan Thursday night, the struggling game maker announced plans to create a new platform centered around ‘non-wearable’ health monitoring.
Stung 
by a rough holiday season and consumer apathy towards its latest console, Nintendo has slashed its financial forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2014 and cut its Wii U sales estimate by over two-thirds.
Nintendo said early Friday that it no longer expects to earn 55 billion yen this quarter. Instead, the company says, it will lose 25 billion yen. To put that into context, it’s a shift from a $527 million gain to a $240 million loss. Ouch.
The 
gaming world thought it had said R.I.P. to R.B.I. Baseball in 1995, but the long-dormant sports franchise is coming off of the bench.
Major League Baseball has revealed plans to bring back the series that debuted on the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1986. In a succinct announcement, MLB Advanced Media said it would be bringing R.B.I. to “current- and next-generation consoles and smartphones and tablets.” The league didn’t offer any additional details.
Nintendo 
doesn’t have a lot to say about the Wii U these days, but the 3DS? It’s happy to talk about that, and for good reason.
Life-to-date sales of the 3DS and 2DS have topped 11.5 million in the U.S., the company announced Friday.
The 
3DS, currently Nintendo’s best-selling piece of hardware, is about to be a bit less profitable.
U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff has ordered the company to pay 1.82 percent of the wholesale price of each 3DS it sells moving forward to a company called Tomita, after Nintendo was found to be using patented camera technology without permission.
So 
you think you can dance? So does Carrie Swidecki – and she’s got the record to prove it.
Last year, the 37-year-old teacher played Ubisoft’s Just Dance 4 for 49 hours, 3 minutes and 22 seconds without stopping to throw up. That marathon play/dance session turned her into a record holder.
