Nintendo is bringing new iterations of franchises like Star Fox or Paper Mario to the recently announced 3DS. But what about new stuff? Familiar faces are fine and all, but what else ya got? Tucked in the corner is Steel Dive...

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.

Minnesota-based developer Monster Games is no stranger to resurrecting long-dormant franchises for Nintendo. In 2006 it released the spiritual successor to the NES classic Excitebike, Excite Truck for the Wii. Then, just thre...

Where there is a new system, there is a new Warriors game waiting in the wings. Tecmo Koei has gotten in early this time, ready for the 3DS' launch with Samurai Warriors Chronicles, yet another button-bashing foray into the world of medieval Japan.  Maybe Tecmo Koei rushed in a little too early this time.

Ridge Racer 3D is one of two racing games available for the 3DS at launch, and since the other one is part of GameLoft's Asphalt series, there's really only one choice.  Ridge Racer 3D's overall goal seems quite clear --...

Ladies and gentlemen, here's to Super Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition, the first million-selling title on the 3DS! This doesn't come as much of a surprise, though. It's easily the best of the available launch titles and should ...

In addition to bits about Mario's latest adventure, Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto has also shared with French journalists plans to bring Flipnote Studio to the 3DS eShop. For those of you unaware, Flipnote Studio is a free prog...

The 3DS eShop finally comes to the 3DS on June 6 in the United States and June 7 in Japan. The service is similar to the Wii Channel and DSiWare platform of digital delivery but it also marks a new direction Nintendo is takin...

Nintendo just barely got the 3DS eShop out the night before their E3 press conference, but they've got a nice surprise for all of you downloading the update this morning. The Virtual Console for the system has gone live with ...

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.

It took them this many games for they decided to give Lakitu a break from fishing their sorry butts out of the drink? Yeah, there is underwater racing now. Doesn't look much different than racing on land, though. I was hoping for submarines. But there's gliding now! That's cool.

It's no secret that I love the Paper Mario series. And it's no secret that when the 3DS was announced at last year's E3, the game I wanted the most on it was the new Paper Mario. Sadly, a year later, still no word o...

Yes, those goombas have raccoon tails. Amazing. A new Mario platformer on any Nintendo system is always exciting, but one made specifically for the 3DS and created by the team that developed Super Mario Galaxy? Well, that's s...

Before the review begins, I feel it's my duty to warn anybody who considers purchasing this -- there's barely any mention of the Moon at all. In fact, the Moon appears in the campaign's end credits more than it appears in the game itself.  Transformers: Dark of the Moon is a big lie.

Sometimes publishers offer amazing incentives for pre-ordering a game. Depending on circumstances such as where you live, those bonuses may not always be available, no matter how much you might want them.  Lucky for us t...

The return of the Tanooki suit has been a big talking point for Super Mario 3DS, but Nintendo has revealed that it won't be the only famous costume to make a return. Mario will get to dress in a few other togs from yesteryear...

When I first started playing Dream Trigger 3D, I despised it with every fiber of my being. It was chaotic and confusing, with controls that didn't make sense and a tutorial that does nothing to explain how one is supposed to play.  After spending a fair few hours with the game, all of the above is still true, but now I like the game. It's always weird when that happens.

[Update: I'm told that the Corgi breed will be in the final game!] To help promote the new Create-a-Pet tool for the The Sims 3 Pets, my very own Pembroke Welsh Corgi, Einstein, was Simified! They took pictures of my bel...

Growing up in the 80's, one of my absolute favorite cartoons was The Magic School Bus. I was entertained by the ridiculous animations, wacky writing  and catchy tunes while actually learning things that I would probably ...

Nintendo Japan's Minna no Nintendo Channel project has brought us a couple of new videos. The most notable is a new commercial for upcoming 3DS game Super Pokemon Scramble. I've said it before, but I think this game looks ...

[Update: Ocarina of Time 3D released 27 days ago. The sales figures below are representative of the first 11 days of sales. Sorry for the error. -Ed] The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D was released 11 days ago, to the jo...

In some circles, the Green Lantern movie and games have been a major success. So much so that the folks at WB have decided to give fans a chance to peek behind the curtain at the making of Rise of the Manhunters. They're definitely right about one thing, Green Lantern (Hal Jordan, specifically) is a fantastic super hero. The jury may be out on the movie and games, but he's a damn good character.

SEGA has confirmed the release dates of Shinobi 3DS and CRUSH3D, with the sidescrolling ninja revival arriving November 12 and the perspective-bending puzzler dropping in on February 21.  Shinobi is looking quite promisi...

The Avengers is hitting theaters this week and to celebrate, Zen Studios has dropped the price of all their Marvel-themed pinball tables for mobile devices! On iOS, that means the Captain America, Wolverine and Thor tables ar...

This is really close to my favorite color. This upcoming Wii console's shade is just off from the light blue DS Lite they released some years ago. That one was spot on. The Europe bundle for Mario & Sonic at the Lond...

The Nintendo 3DS eShop has been, for the most part, disappointing. It's also lacking third-party support. Luckily, Gameloft is here to save the day with their announcement that Let's Golf 3D is coming August 11th.  It a...

Along with the news that the Nintendo 3DS has dropped to just $169.99 comes some news on some of the upcoming Mario game releases for the US and Japan. First off, Super Mario 3DS has an official name and it's Super Mario 3D ...

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...

Despite previously claiming that there is no way to delete the perma-save in Pac-Man & Galaga Dimensions without "corrupting" the game entirely, Namco Bandai has admitted that there is a secret way of wiping data safely.&...

Capcom has quite possibly jumped the shark with news that it plans to sell a demo of upcoming 3DS title Nazo Waku Yakata. For ¥200, people will be able to download the first chapter of the game. Other chapters m...

If you absolutely cannot wait for a new kart racing game, then D3 Publisher has you covered with the sixth installment in the Ben 10 series, Ben 10 Galactic Racing, which features 16 playable characters and 25 tracks that spa...

Activision is trying to revive the Spyro franchise with Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure. The new game sees players needing actual toy figures of the playable characters being placed in a "Portal of Power" extern...

I see the word 'gym and think of working out, moving, and sweating, and then I slowly back away. But Puzzler Mind Gym 3D may be right up my alley as it has nothing to do with fitness. This upcoming 3DS release is a daily prog...

Grand news for everyone who recently picked up a 3DS: Tecmo Koei is going to cycle through the daily SpotPass outfits for Dead or Alive Dimensions again -- all 34 of them. Each morning at 10:00am, there will be a new costume ...

Being the resident Majora's Mask obsessive, I jumped at the opportunity to interview one of the founders of Operation Moonfall and Zelda Universe Webmaster, Cody Davies. For those that don't know, Operation Moonfall is a fan-...

Next in line for Atari's arcade reboot,  following Yars' Revenge and Star Raiders earlier this year, is Centipede. We know all about the game's post-apocalyptic setting and weapon variety, but today's trailer highlights...

Tales of the Abyss is probably going to be the first RPG that I'll be all up in on my Nintendo 3DS. There's other good offerings for other genres on the horizon, but I know there isn't anything close to this game when it com...

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...

To be clear, the Wipeout I am referring to is the one based on the ABC tv show, not the totally awesome racing game. So if you like the show, or you enjoyed the first installment of the game, you can check this one out o...

If you still haven't decided if you want to buy Modern Warfare 3 on PC, then get downloading as you've got until Monday to get in as much free multiplayer action as you can muster. To help sway you further, there's 33% knocke...

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 (...

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!

In yesterday's reveal of Zennin Shiboudes, the new escape-the-room visual novel from Chunsoft, Dtoider OriginalGman mentioned that he thought the game resembled 999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors a little too closely....

Shinrei Shashin, or Spirit Photo, was revealed in the latest issue of Famitsu, though no release date was given. The Fatal Frame team is working on this 3DS title that uses the system's camera in the Ghost Camera mode to ...

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!&...

Both Thor: God of Thunder & Captain America: Super Soldier were announced as new 3DS titles by Sega today. Both games were released on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, and Nintendo DS earlier this year, and now the...

It's a monumental weekend for Apple, which is days (hours? minutes?) away from 50 billion downloads. It's not hard to think back to a time when the App store seemed insignificant, but looking at Apple's published lists of the...

You would be forgiven for thinking that we, as a society, were past the days of random franchises getting kart racers. Activision has announced DreamWorks Super Star Kartz for enough systems to blot out the sun: DS, 3DS, Wii,...

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...

In a somewhat surprising and quick announcement at the 3DS Press Conference, a new Mario Tennis was revealed for the 3DS. The only details Nintendo shared was that the game was going to have a way to play using the gyroscope ...

Rumors of Monster Hunter Tri 3G have run wild throughout the days leading up to Nintendo's Pre-TGS conference last night. After this "speculation" -- It was all but confirmed by Nintendo themselves -- we've finally gotte...

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...

An anonymous source close to the Internet has revealed to us that Nintendo is publishing what is sure to be the biggest new IP to grace the 3DS to date: Girls RPG. Cliff Bleszinski has been overheard talking about the upcomin...

I've always loved the Paper Mario series. Brilliant writing, turn-based combat with a fun twist, and tons of adorable characters all come together to create some pretty amazing experiences. When I heard that the series was co...
