What appears to be a charming little visual Easter egg in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is actually so much more. Yes, DK whips out a 3DS and plays it when you leave him idle (he's done this in the past.) But he's actually playing Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Mario Kart 7 and even, well, Donkey Kong Country…
This is so stupid it's awesome. Viagame pit one of the world's top racing video game drivers against a real-life professional to see who was better. But the best part is Frederik Brolin, the video gamer, is driving the course, virtually, inside a car that is driving the course in real life.
Reader Jarren T. snapped this picture of the big news from Week 3 in his playthrough of Madden NFL 13, whose early-access weekend ends tomorrow. Not only is Madden acknowledging and evidently implementing the so-called curse that befalls its cover stars, it's even referring to itself in the third person. So this…
Hans Lemurson builds redstone computers in Minecraft, which led to the joking question of whether he could build one that plays Minecraft. Well, the answer is yes, sort of.

Let's say you have a loved one sent to a prison, and you need to smuggle them a 3DS inside a Game Boy. (Look, just go with it). Goteking, who gave us the iPod-in-a-Dreamcast-VMU, now supplies a 3DS case made from a Game Boy.

I get the feeling I've seen this before somewhere, and the creator, dany32412 on Instructables, himself says it was inspired by another source. That's still a functioning Nintendo Entertainment System within a modified NES cartridge, which is a great novelty mod. The difference here is the original gamepads are…
At least dad here doesn't look like a doofus flailing the Wiimote. He's still got the swervy hands and overbite that indicate the the guy was told to look like he's playing a video game, not actually play one.
