The fine folks at Penny Arcade have seen fit to tackle Nintendo's latest and greatest game with their usual wit and such.

Foul language warning! Check it out right here. While you're there, look back into their archives to see some other great stuff on the recent console launches and other popular games. Don't forget to visit the well written main page too.

Toshihiro Nagoshi, the President of President of Amusement Vision will be delivering one of the keynote speeches at next years GDC! All the goods inside...

For the past couple of years Nintendo hasn't been all that involved with the annual Game Developers Conference. This year doesn't look that much different so far.

One of the things Nintendophiles should look forward to is the President of Amusement Vision, Toshihiro Nagoshi's keynote speech on level design. A look into the mind of the man who helped design Super Monkey Ball's levels should be interesting indeed.

Rare's wacky letters page once again provides a few nice little chunks of data, which is more than we can get from our "inside sources" there. Eat it up yo.

Let's dispense with the tomfoolery and get right to the quotes and analyses, yes? Yes.

"2) In Donkey Kong Racing will you also be able to ride other animals other than those shown in the opening demo such as walruses/penguins etc. in a snow world or a Triceratops/T-Rex in a Dino World?"
