The experience was a revelation that I'll not soon forget, and even if everyone stopped making games for it tomorrow, my blue 3DS XL is not going anywhere. That little machine is a window into a part of human experience that most people take for granted, but which is otherwise inaccessible to me. 124 Millimeters of Depth I am mostly stereoblind.

    Releasing an album is a brutal, labor-intensive process, rife with sleepless nights and self doubt. For Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr., the Detroit indie pop band whose latest EP, Patterns, came out on April 16, stress relief came not from cigarettes or sizzurp, but from an 8-bit plugin. "We were all stressed out with rehearsing and getting the show set up, and I wanted to take a break," says Daniel Zott, one half of the Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. duo. "I decided to make some Nintendo music to clear my brain." Zott's 8-bit remix of "If You Didn't See Me (Then You Weren't on the…

For $15 it can withstand the scorching temperatures of fire flowers, or piping hot baking sheets. And ironically, although it's lacking any electronics, you'll probably still do better playing classic NES games while wearing the Power Mitt instead of the Power Glove.

    Resident Evil: Revelations started life on the 3DS and is now finding its way onto home consoles.  The most noticeable difference is the graphics which were completely overhauled for the HD release and, as one would expect, looks much better than the 3DS version.  Revelations is the most recent release in the Resident Evil franchise and even though the game plays well, looks great, and has an engaging story, it is missing that one element I look for in a Resident Evil game, survival horror.  Revelations tries to bring the series back to its survival horror roots but still feels more like…

  • Rumor: Slant Six worked on Medal of Honor PS Vita game

    21 May 2013 | 11:00 pm
    At one point, Slant Six Games was apparently working on a Medal of Honor game for PS Vita. Some concept art for the game showed up over on an artist's portfolio site, spotted by the @supererogatory Twitter account. Medal of Honor: Warfighter was the latest entry in the Medal of Honor series, developed by EA's Danger Close studio. Following that game's poor reception, EA's Peter Moore announced the franchise is now "out of the rotation." Slant Six Games' last release was the lackluster Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City for Capcom - a spin-off that takes place during the outbreak of Raccoon…

  • Dying: Sinner Escape absconding to Vita, iOS

    The Vita and iOS devices are set to receive a new dose of horror courtesy of Dying: Sinner Escape. The game is being made with help from the creator of Saw, according to developer Nekcom Entertainment, though the announcement neglects to name exactly which creator it's referring to. Neither Saw's director, James Wan, nor its screenwriter, Leigh Whannell, are mentioned specifically. Regardless, Dying clearly has a Saw vibe. It's story revolves around characters being trapped in foreboding environments, forcing them to solve strange puzzles and try to escape. The game will be released…

  • Xbox One's live TV features coming to North America first, everyone else later

    21 May 2013 | 7:30 pm
    Microsoft has announced that the live TV features coming to its newly revealed Xbox One will first be available in North America, and then will then transition into other regions after that. In a press release from the company, Microsoft noted that "live TV with Kinect Navigation, live TV with OneGuide, Trending, and NFL on Xbox" will all roll out in the US "at launch," but was "anticipating global scale over time." Microsoft also said that the Xbox One will require a separate cable box, specifying "at launch," so it's possible that the console maker has other plans to deliver television…

  • From this point onward, Pokémon Smash will share weekly updates about Pokémon X and Y

    David
    20 May 2013 | 5:41 pm
    The folks behind Pokémon Smash, a television program in Japan, have confirmed that from this point onward, weekly updates will be shared about Pokémon X and Pokémon Y. We can’t always be sure the information will be completely new, but there’ll at least be a steady stream of something. Of course, when this content is shared, it’ll be posted to this blog.

  • SEGA plans to introduce “new gameplay and enemies” in Sonic: Lost World

    David
    20 May 2013 | 5:41 pm
    Sonic: Lost World is an exclusive title for the 3DS and Wii U, and John Cheng of SEGA has promised that it’ll be different from what we’ve seen from Sonic in the past. He’s explained that the developers are: …going to introduce new gameplay and enemies, which is always fun. In terms of Sonic and his friends, he’ll have his same friends there, and I think there’ll be some new ones as well. It’s not a reiteration. It’s going to be all new. Of course, at this point we’re relying on a fairly biased opinion of what the final will be, but I am…

  • The developer of Gunman Clive is working on a game “inspired by the early Zelda games”

    David
    20 May 2013 | 5:41 pm
    Gunman Clive is a well-received (and relatively successful) title that’s currently available on the 3DS via the eShop. What’s even more interesting now though is that the developer has revealed he’s working on a new title for the platform: It’s still very early in development and a lot of the design isn’t finalized, but it’s very heavily inspired by the early Zelda games; it uses a topdown perspective with 3D graphics and it’s for the 3DS. The artstyle is fairly different from the new Zelda but has some influences from [A Link to the Past] as well, so yes I think…

  • This is Nintendo’s floor space at E3 2013

    David
    20 May 2013 | 5:41 pm
    I’ve only been to E3 once before, and I remember whining about long lines and a poor use of public floor space by Nintendo. They let a large chunk for VIP members of the press only, which seemed wasteful when that’s the sort of thing that can be handled privately. In either case, Nintendo’s floor space seems bigger than before, so hopefully lines are shorter and regular members of the press can get their hands on the games without much hassle. I only say that for the sake of other people though. I’ll be somewhere in Europe during this year’s E3.

  • Shantae is coming to the eShop on June 20th

    David
    20 May 2013 | 5:41 pm
    The original Shantae title from WayForward was announced for release on the 3DS via the Virtual Console a while ago, and we’ve known that it was set for release around the end of June or early July. Luckily, the official confirmation has arrived: it’s coming on June 20th. The third game in the series is being developed for the 3DS at the moment, so this would be a good place to begin in the mean time.

  • Retro Review – Super Metroid

    Mike D.
    21 May 2013 | 9:51 pm
    Publisher: Nintendo Developer: R&D1 Original Release Date:  March 19, 1994 (JP); April 18, 1994 (NA); July 28, 1994 (EU) Re-Release Date: May 15, 2013 Systems: SNES, Wii, Wii U Superlative Metroid It’s not as good as I remember. It’s better than that.  That’s not an easy feat, mind you, due to the fog of childhood nostalgia that enveloped me once the opening bars reverberated in an ominous screech and shudder, followed by the title screen flaring to life.  How can Super Metroid possibly be better than I remember? And yet, it is. Of course, many SNES and Genesis-era…

  • YouTube Issues Statement Regarding Video Game Copyright Issues

    21 May 2013 | 6:48 pm
    Just last week Nintendo laid claim to having the right to gain money off of user created YouTube videos involving anything Nintendo related such as game play, music, or i.e. film with Nintendo characters in them.  The Big N would like to place ads around the videos which would then generate money for Nintendo and not the video creator. In a sense of irony YouTube issued a statement today regarding issues like the one Nintendo addressed last week.  The statement said: We know we have a lot of partners who love and want to post videos relating to games, so we wanted to share some tips to help…

  • EA To Develop Games for Wii U After All

    Wesley Stopford
    21 May 2013 | 5:29 pm
    At the Stifel Nicolaus 2013 Internet, Media and Communications Conference today, EA CFO Blake Jorgenson revealed that Electronic Arts do have plans to release games for the Wii U, although fewer so than for PS4 and XBOX One. Jorgenson also pointed out that consumers would decide which console is the most successful this generation, rather than manufacturers and publishers. Bear in mind that EA Spokesman Jeff Brown said just last week that EA “has no games in development for the Wii U currently”. These most recent comments could either be seen as in direct contradiction, or…

  • From Mobiclip to NERD – Iwata Asks

    Mark Loughlin
    21 May 2013 | 2:53 pm
    Nintendo is inviting everyone to take a look inside their new Nintendo European Research and Developments studio. If you remember back to Feb 12th 2012, Nintendo acquired Mobiclip in what was a surprising but very interesting purchase for the company. Mobiclip specialised in highly optimised software technologies including Mobile VOD software that included, but was not limited to, Video Codecs and DRM technology. Now under the title of Nintendo European Research and Development, or NERD as it has affectionately become known, they now seem to be a full fledged technological centre for…
