Coming from the official PS3 magazine.
NEW YORK, May 17, 2010 – The American Heart Association and Nintendo of America today announced a first-of-its-kind, multifaceted strategic relationship aimed at helping people create healthy lifestyles through physically active play. The two organizations will work together on multiple fronts to help consumers discover how active-play video games contribute to healthy living. Their joint efforts will arm consumers with information, provide people with hands-on experiences and arrange a summit of representatives from different backgrounds to discuss the benefits of active-play video games.
“Our two organizations come from different worlds, but we share a common goal,” said Clyde Yancy, M.D., president of the American Heart Association. “Showing people accessible ways to stay active has been a part of our mission for decades, but our research tells us nearly 70 percent of Americans are getting no regular physical activity. As an organization we are looking for ways to change this. Nintendo has demonstrated clear leadership in active-play video games with the popularity of the Wii system, and I’m confident that together we can encourage Americans to become more physically active.”

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– In the ongoing fight against video game piracy worldwide, Nintendo of America Inc. has filed a civil lawsuit against the owner of multiple websites that sell illegal video game copiers. Nintendo filed suit on May 11 in the Western District of Washington against the owner of NXPGAME of Queens, New York.
Nintendo investigated a website owned by NXPGAME and found that it was selling illegal video game copiers that enable the user to download, play and distribute illegal copies of Nintendo DS™ and Nintendo DSi™ video game software. After multiple letters and telephone calls from Nintendo’s legal counsel, the owner agreed to cease selling game copiers and closed his website. Shortly thereafter, the owner launched an identical business at a different website address, and redirected people who visited his old site to the new one to purchase illegal game copiers.
Despite the repeated attempts to get NXPGAME Inc. to cease its illegal activities, the company and its owner continue to operate multiple websites that sell illegal game copiers. Nintendo asserts that NXPGAME is willfully infringing on the company’s intellectual property rights. Additionally, one of the company’s websites uses Nintendo registered trademarks and violates Nintendo’s copyrights.

WILTON, CT – May 12, 2010 – The Entertainment Consumers Association (ECA), the non-profit membership organization that represents gamers, today confirmed that they will be submitting a friend of the court document (amicus brief) to the U.S. Supreme Court regarding the upcoming violence in video games case, Schwarzenegger v. EMA. Additionally, the association has created a gamer petition, which will be attached and submitted along with the brief, both formally becoming part of the official court documents.
“The Supreme Court has agreed to hear the State of California’s infamous ‘violent video game case’ later this year, or early next,” said Jennifer Mercurio, Vice President and General Counsel for the ECA. “At that time, the Court is going to listen to oral arguments on whether to agree with previous federal court findings or not. Agreeing would mean that they believe that video games are, and should continue to be, First Amendment protected speech; just like movies and music. The Court disagreeing would mean that video games should be treated differently, which the ECA strongly believes to be unconstitutional and could lead to new bills and laws curtailing video game access in states across the country.”

Let me introduce our newest member to the purenintendo crew, Theo Brown. Kevin and I have known Theo for a few years now and I am sure he will be a big part of our world domination. Theo is a hard core Nintendo and movie fan. He brings his fresh ideas and skills in cinematography to the table already full of greatness. I am excited to see what Theo has in-store for all of us. For now, enjoy his first thoughts.
So, here at Pure Nintendo we attempt to find out new stuff about, well, Nintendo. Like my mom when she found out I was getting black eyes by older girls, we too don’t take too kindly when people make fun of Nintendo. So, before James, Justin, and Kevin pull me back into my cage, I would like to give my own, humble opinion, about how I feel about the iPhone owners telling me that the DS is a way of the past, and how their gaming experience is superior.
Really iPhoners? (Yes, I just made that up. And trademarked it.) Better gaming? Lets be honest here, you don’t even have any buttons. And no, mashing the general area of a screen doesn’t count. Of course, you can always shake the phone like your some sort of seizureing idiot. If that’s what gaming is to you, just buy some strobe lights or watch Pokémon. Hmm, convulsing on the ground? Yep, looks like the same “experience” to me.
And more game selection? I’d have an easier time trying to explain the difference between the colors green and emerald to Stevie Wonder than find an actual good game on the iPhone. It’s funny, you iphoners need to keep buying little apps that do the EXACT SAME THING, while I, on the other hand, have kept Mario Kart in my DSi for the past 11,394 years, and still haven’t gotten tired of it.
