I haven't made a final decision as to what my favorite game at E3 2012 is yet, but Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion for the 3DS is right up there. When DreamRift's game was announced a couple of months ago, I was shocked. Inste...

Yeeehawww! I can feel the excitement already! On June 14th, you'll be able to download the 3DS iteration of Mad Dog McCree for $7.99. For all you youngins out there, Mad Dog McCree was an old 1990 light-gun arcade game -- at ...

In a bizarre turn of events, Ubisoft has been fairly quiet about the actual release date and price of their 3DS iteration of Rayman Origins -- but that all changed as of today. Rayman Origins 3D will launch on June 5 at $29....

An update is now live for Mario Kart 7, and you can grab it through your eShop update menu, or by scanning this QR code that Nintendo Life has generously produced for the internet at large. All the update does is essentially ...

Say it ain't so, Lady Palutena! When asked point blank by IGN regarding a potential Kid Icarus: Uprising sequel, project head and famed Smash Brothers creator Masahiro Sakurai had this to say: “because we pushed a lot i...

Rejoice, Nintendo fans! One of the best pinball games of all time has been recently rated, and is probably set to hit the 3DS' Virtual Console at some point. Kirby's Pinball Land was not only one of the best portable pinball ...

Dillon's Rolling Western was first unveiled during E3 2011 and has since served as the unofficial face of the Nintendo eShop. While 3DS owners wondered whether Nintendo's latest digital store would be bogged down by the same ...

It was a bit odd when "100,000 Strong for Bringing Back Mega Man Legends 3" launched and didn't actually have 100,000 people. But today, my fellow Mega Man friends, they can finally make that claim. Ever since Mega Man Legend...

Nearly five years ago, when everybody was trashing the PSP for having no games worth playing, CRUSH was frequently brought up as a neat little gem that introduced a new mechanic that worked well enough. It certainly wasn't a ...

While Nintendo's 3DS system has seen the release of an abundance of great games recently on the eShop, there has also been a dearth of applications that really utilize the 3DS' functionality. At launch, the system saw some gr...

In theory, the idea behind Spirit Camera is brilliant. Exploiting the 3DS' augmented reality features to turn players into ghost hunters is a marvelous undertaking. I love the thought of scurrying around the house, pretending...

As much as this might sound like an odd week for downloadable games on Nintendo platforms, it's actually on par with the same mishmash of content we're regularly given. I want to believe that someone is literally drawing name...

Too soon? In Japan, Kingdom Hearts 3D launched to great first week success, but it looks like it may not have the staying power the series once had. Numbers wise, KH3D sold 213,579 copies the first week, but only 42,231 units...

Crossovers are awesome. Capcom, Sega, and Namco Bandai joining forces? Awesome! Pokémon and Nobunaga's Ambition getting all chummy? Also awesome! Professor Layton and Phoenix Wright putting their noggins together? Unb...

It's a little known fact that the best dinosaur ever is Gon. Fans of Tekken may remember his amazing cameo in Tekken 3 (featured above), but most people don't know that he's actually the star of his own manga. While he alread...

Dynasty Warriors VS is coming to 3DS this year, and it's carrying a Nintend-flavored surprise. There will be alternate costumes based on The Legend of Zelda's Link and Metroid's Samus. You can check them out in the above tra...

I'll admit, half the reason I wanted to do this post is so I could keep writing Gon Paku Paku Paku Paku Adventure. The other half is that adorable orange dinosaur in the game's announcement screens. Look at it! D'aaaaaw! Acco...

According to Official Nintendo Magazine France, Mickey is making his way to 3DS. An announcement for Epic Mickey 2 on console is expected from Warren Spector next week, but until now, there'd been no word of a 3DS versio...

I love Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. I love playing the game, hanging out with other people while they're playing the game, reading about the game, and watching videos of the game; you name it, I love it. It would have bee...

Your name is Hasbro and you own the rights to a well-known board game, centered about guessing where the opponent's ships are. What do you do? Naturally, you let Universal turn it into a blockbuster marketed to look like Mich...

Because no news day would be complete without at least one occasion to whimper, "Why aren't they releasing that in NA?," here's the newly announced special edition Dragon Quest 3DS. Paired with a copy of Dragon Quest Monsters...

If there's anything that brings out the Veruca Salt in me, it's Japanese exclusives. The Kingdom Hearts 10th Anniversary Box will be no exception. The set, so far unconfirmed outside of Japan, includes three games: Kingdom He...

I still remember the craze that surrounded the Furbie, the Beanie Baby, and the Teletubby doll. Marketing overlords have a terrifying sorcery in their employ that allows them to turn ordinary humans into ravening beasts, lust...

Bit.Trip Complete and Saga were released several months ago here in North America, but across the pond there are still plenty of fans eagerly awaiting their release. Fortunately, Europeans don't have much longer to wait,...

We were aware that a Snake Eater 3D demo would hit "at a later date" at some point in 2012, but it turns out that date is this Thursday, according to Nintendo. The demo will accompany the weekly store update, and there are no...

It's always a pleasant surprise to go into a game with little to no expectations beforehand and come out of it with a completely positive opinion. Such was the case with the recent downloadable title Sakura Samurai: Art of the Sword. The game wasn't even really on my radar, but after playing it, I realized I should be paying more attention to Nintendo's eShop library.

We already know that Fire Emblem 3DS will be ushering Nintendo into the paid DLC world, but it looks like we're about to get a bit more information on the latest series entry. It seems as if the upcoming 3DS iteration of Fire...

Japan comes up with some weird, awesome things, and this is one of them. Denpa Ningen is an augmented reality 3DS title that has you hunting for adorable little dudes called Denpa Ningen. There will be RPG style ba...

It has been nearly 10 years since we were last put into the sandals of an Oboro Clan shinobi, the last game of which was well received despite (or perhaps because of) its high difficulty. Though it brought the series into the...

The greatest media crossover since Who Framed Roger Rabbit is exactly one month away from its Japanese release. Let the onslaught of television commercials begin! Above is a 30-second spot for Pokemon + Nobunaga's Ambition, ...

Well, this is awkward. Today marks the arrival of Zen Pinball 3D ($6.99) on the North American eShop -- which is great, don't get me wrong -- but it's also the debut of 101 Pinball World ($4.99) on DSiWare. How does that even...

Oh look! A good game for the 3DS is finally coming out! I'm sorry, did I say good? I meant GREAT! Yes, Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater 3D is finally arriving for the 3DS on February 21. It's the same classic game you remember fr...

Has anyone tried out Ben Gray's Swapnote RPG yet? Talk about thinking outside the box! Go brush up on that spark of genius and then come back here. It might be a little daunting to give this project a spin, especially if you...

Full disclosure: before playing Sonic Generations (3DS) for review, I had never finished a Sonic game. I bought all the collections and rented or bought used copies of all the Wii titles because I love the series in theory. S...

New Love Plus is the 3DS sequel to that one DS game where you could form deep, intimate relationships with anime girls. It made some people do crazy things, like marrying their virtual girlfriends. This video isn't that craz...

VVVVVV is one of those games that doesn't feel like it should exist. It's name alone is hard enough for most people to compute. Then just look at the thing. It's nostalgic for a period of gaming that even I'm almost too old t...

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater 3D is going to be included in a future 3DS bundle in Japan, but it was unclear whether there'd be anything special about the hardware. According to game director Hideo Kojima, it'll be quite sp...

Here is a trailer for Ghost Camera, a new horror game for the 3DS. It's being made by the same team responsible for Fatal Frame and published by Tecmo Koei.  The name gives you a big enough clue as to what this game ent...

I've started to write this post fifteen times now, but what can you say about Myst that doesn't sound like the same old tired retread? When it released nearly twenty years ago, there were decent odds that if someone had ...

Namco Bandai wants you to know that the King of Iron Fist Tournament will make its 3D debut on Valentine's Day of next year. You can sit at home, lonely, eating a box of chocolates while you try out the game's 40 charact...

Monster Hunter 3G is the hot sh*t in Japan. The first week sales numbers are out, and it looks like Capcom's latest for 3DS moved 471,055 units. Keep in mind that this "week" is only two days of data. The real first week...

Here's the new story trailer for upcoming Sega 3DS rhythm game Rhythm Thief & the Emperor’s Treasure. Raphael is a guy with smooth moves and a nice suit, and that makes him pretty interesting already. But...

Fishing Cactus' puzzle platformer Shifting World is coming to the Nintendo 3DS with help from the folks at Aksys Games. You may have heard of the Flash-based web game Shift. Shifting World is based on that series, but takes i...

The Nintendo 3DS is a system built around two simple concepts: portable 3D and dual-screen gaming. Unfortunately, the latter usually finds itself lent to making our experiences less intrusive by acting as a placeholder for ma...
