Nintendo has been doing pretty swell by all accounts as of late, notably in regards to the revamped Club Nintendo and the new games-for-coins program. Of course, the Japanese Club Nintendo will always be a leeeeeeetle bit ahead of our own.
While our Club was busy announcing brand new Zelda posters, Japan's was announcing a 600-point golden Nunchuk. However, if you register a copy of Skyward Sword by February 20, the Nunchuk will be discounted to 400 points. This is something that should have been offered in every region's Club, as using a white Nunchuk with the special Zelda-branded Wii Remote just doesn't feel right.
One other new item is a 150-point card case that holds 18 3DS games. Of course, that's nothing all too special -- we'll probably get our own 3DS cases in the future. Maybe I shouldn't be bitching too much after getting so much goodness recently, but I just want that Nunchuk. I waaaaaaaant iiiiiit!

Sure, the meme is a bit old but the added sound effects to the Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate video is what really made this spoof for me. Bravo, Capcom-Unity.
[Thanks, Dale!]
Fire Emblem: Awakening surprised just about everyone with its critical and commercial success. In Japan, the 3DS strategy RPG had sold over 400K units through June 2012, and it's likely continued to grow since then. In the US...
How is the Xbox One going to sell in Japan? If the new console's version of Kinect is anything like the current version of the peripheral, then probably not too good. Not to sound racist, but Japanese living rooms aren't know...

For the love of god, somebody get me a 3DS. I made the unfortunate mistake of backing the wrong Nintendo console, grabbing a Wii U late last year, when I should have put my eggs in the portable basket. Now I'm not able to pl...
