Mario Kart Takes A Spin On The 3DS
It wouldn’t be a piece of Nintendo hardware without a Mario Kart game now, would it? While these are from a “concept demo”, and not an actual title, it’s Mario Kart. It’ll turn up on the system sooner or later.

Metroid: Other M’s E3 Trailer
This is Metroid: Other M’s E3 trailer, and if Team Ninja wanted to remind us of dark 80s sci-fi, they’re going about it the right way. Not with the clean, bright visuals, but with that synth track! So heavy. So dirty. Like Samus is going to turn a corner somewhere in the game and find…

An Old “Friend” Returns In Portal 2
How many times did you watch that amazing Portal 2 trailer? Enough to catch a glimpse of an old friend? Take a look behind the busted supports on the right side of the screen. I say “friend” because while you do form a bit of an attachment to the Companion Cube during the game, the…

Paper Mario Brings 2D To The 3DS
The 3DS isn’t all about 3D graphics. Sometimes, you just need something that looks pretty on the new, improved hardware. Like Paper Mario. While we’re sure there’ll be 3D tricks involved along the way, the first screens of Paper Mario seem to suggest it’s simply a great opportunity to take one of the best-looking series…

Playing Portal 2… For Science
It doesn’t take much to remind me why I, why so many people, loved the original Portal. The game is cheeky, it’s fun, it’s smart. Portal 2 is all of that, with a friend. Standing in the E3 offices of Valve earlier today I had a chance to take Portal 2’s coop mode for a…

Portal 2’s New Toys, New Friends and Old Enemies
Portal was such a masterful, smashing success because it was short, sweet and… a surprise. Even Valve didn’t expect the puzzle game with personality to become such an overwhelming, cultural phenomenon. And it scares Valve a little bit that they’re not trying to recapture that success without two of those elements: Portal 2 when it…

GoldenEye For Wii Is A Remake With Some Asterisks
The news today that a new version of Nintendo 64 classic GoldenEye 007 was met with cheers at today’s Nintendo E3 press conference. I played the game. It’s good but it’s not the remake you may have thought it was. The James Bond game is being developed by Eurocom and Activision, not Rare and Nintendo,…

Star Fox Returns, On The 3DS
Nintendo’s last 3D console had a Star Fox game on it. It’s nice to see the company keeping up tradition. Sorry, traditions. The second being that, like with the DS, the 3DS will launch with a re-release of an old Nintendo 64 game, in this case Star Fox 64.

Rumor: 3DS Gets Ocarina Of Time Remake [Update]
These six images show what looks a lot like an Ocarina of Time remake for the new Nintendo 3DS. They’re available via a workaround on Nintendo’s E3 press site. Curiously, no announcement was made of the game during the company’s E3 press conference. Maybe it was being saved for later, like Zelda Wii was last…
