It's been a while since Nintendo has offered up a 3D Classic for grabs, but that's just what they're doing today, as Excitebike (3D Classics, 3DS eShop) is now available on Club Nintendo for 150 coins until August 26th E...

A 3D update of Urban Champion? How did this happen? Here's how I think it went down... Nintendo President Satoru Iwata (the responsible one) heads over to the house of Nintendo creative mastermind Shigeru Miyamoto (...

To many, the name 3D Classics: Xevious is itself an oxymoron. Space Invaders, Galaga, Defender, and Gradius are considered by most as shoot 'em up classics. However, Xevious never quite reached that level of prestige, at leas...

It's been a while since any region outside of Japan received a new 3D Classics touch-up on the 3DS eShop. You may think that the only difference between the originals and their 3D remakes is the added stereoscopic effect, but...

Nintendo is giving early adopters twenty free videogames from its dusty old vaults, and that's fine, but those hoping for something fresher and/or worth more than a collective five bucks were left disappointed ... until now!&...

We haven't heard anything from Nicalis about their forthcoming 3DS/Wii U/and-maybe-other-consoles title Aban Hawkins and the 1,001 Spikes in a while. That's probably because they've been busy with stuff like Ikachan, Guxt, Ra...

At least, I'll have to take Nintendo and Namco Bandai's word for it, given that the screenshots they've released for their upcoming 3DS jet fighter game are not in 3D. That said, there's a lot of stuff flying at your fac...

Some more screens for Ace Combat 3D Cross Rumble have come out of the Nintendo 3DS Conference 2011. They involve planes, a radar, a weapon loadout, some Japanese text here and there, and yep, that looks like an Ace Combat gam...

James Rolfe's retrotastic digital quest, Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures, recently passed through Greenlight, securing a spot on Steam's virtual storefront. According to a post on the game's Facebook page, developer ScrewAtt...

I won't lie here, I'm really excited for a new Animal Crossing. I still play my original Gamecube copy of the first game, though my grass is often way too abundant to bother pulling. This upcoming 3DS entry will, of course, p...

Animal Crossing! Go swimming! Dress up as Link! Walk around! Clean a house! All this and more in the latest Animal Crossing 3DS teaser straight out of Nintendo's press conference from this morning! Looks like more of the same, but then again, I haven't actually played any Animal Crossing before.

Nintendo showed off some Animal Crossing 3DS during their Nintendo Direct presenation and it's the same old Animal Crossing as you know it, with some small changes. Namely, new characters will arrive in your town via StreetPa...

With ATV Wild Ride, Renegade Kid veers wildly from territory its best known for, be it the nightmarish halls of a mental hospital in Dementium, or the sci-fi action of Moon. But the developer feels right at home with its latest, delivering one of the best racer offerings on Nintendo’s handheld to date.

Despite the fact that I had a fairly lukewarm experience with ATV Wild Ride 3D, the fact of the matter is it delivers for racing fanatics, and has a working online component. So if you've been eying it recently, you can grab ...

Here's the first trailer for Konami's Beyond the Labyrinth, a very pretty 3DS game that I've been really keen on nabbing. It features a little girl being cute, which could get endearing or annoying depending on whether or not Konami hires a decent voice actor in the West.  Of course, given the state of Silent Hill HD Collection, that might be the big problem.  Still, video looks nice!

Dale North and I both had a grand old time with beat-'em-up Code of Princess at launch, and now you can too, at the reduced price of $29.99 on the 3DS eShop. Keep in mind that the online community is basically non-existent th...
