Next year, get ready to clack on a keyboard! Pokemon is ready to have players battle it out with their typing skills. Dubbed “Battle & Get: Pokemon Typing DS”, the game is a typing-based battle game. This makes sense as many children in Japan learn to read with Pokemon. Why not learn to type? The…
Next January, upcoming role-playing game The Last Story will be released on the Nintendo Wii. But what day? I’ll tell you! The game will be released on January 27, 2011 in Japan. It was originally set for release this year in Japan. No word on the game’s Western release. The Last Story is set on…
Whenever anything makes the jump to 3D, you can expect a load of gimmicks trying to show off the new tech. So it is with this new trailer for Metal Gear Solid 3 on the 3DS. Lunging snakes? Yup. Buzzing hornets? Yup. Aggravated sexual tension amongst a field of flowers? Yup, got that too. All…
To go with that gameplay footage we saw earlier, here are four new screens of the 3DS port of The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time. The first one is probably the most important, as it shows off the game’s dual-screen controls, with the new touch-screen inventory system on display. The rest? They show that…
Square Enix’s PSP shooter The 3rd Birthday was at the Tokyo Game Show, but its trailer was only shown behind closed doors. That was then. This is now, and the trailer is up for public viewing.
Nintendo has priced the Nintendo 3DS, its glasses-free 3D portable, at ¥25,000. That is the equivalent of US$298. Forget the crummy exchange rate for a moment, because the pricing could be different for the West. The real question is how the Nintendo 3DS stands up to the pricing of other Nintendo handhelds. The Nintendo DS…
Love Plus, the love sim that has launched cake lines and vacation tours, is coming to the Nintendo 3DS. That’s right, a Love Plus is going 3D. In late 2009, a man even “married” his Love Plus squeeze. Love Plus on the Nintendo 3DS could end badly — or at least with heavy screen licking.…
The decision to bring Xbox classic Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath to the PS3 and not the Xbox 360 seemed a strange one, what with the game making its name on the Xbox. Turns out there’s a very good reason for this. Developers Just Add Water have stated on their blog “we are NOT PS3 Exclusive. As…
Nintendo has a new promotional video that shows off the Nintendo 3DS’s various functions like Tag Mode, Mii Studio and the portable’s augmented reality capability. Since it’s hard to show 3D on a 2D screen, Nintendo has packed this promotion video with all the extras that its new portable is able to do. Tag Mode…
On February 26 of next year, the Nintendo 3DS is launching in Japan. The following month, the portable will go on sale in the West.

Not only does this trailer feature gameplay of Super Street Fighter IV for the Nintendo 3DS, it also details how Tag Mode for the game will work. When players pass other Nintendo 3DS owners that have Street Fighter IV, they will automatically enter into short “figure-based” bouts, which are detailed in the video. Another feature…
In celebration of the 25th anniversary of Super Mario Bros., Nintendo will next month release this rather fetching custom DSi XL console. Due out on October 28, it’ll sell for ¥18,000 (USD$215), comes in a lovely box, and is emblazoned with an even lovelier little graphic to commemorate the occasion. With the 3DS on the…
Press play on this clip and you’ll see gameplay footage from just about every big title we know is coming to the 3DS, from Mario to Zelda to Metal Gear to Street Fighter to Resident Evil to… …Dead or Alive to Kid Icarus to Animal Crossing to Mario Kart to Starfox, they’re all in here,…
Resident Evil: Revelations isn’t the only BioHazard game on the way for Nintendo’s latest handheld; it’s been revealed at a press conference earlier today that Resident Evil: Mercenaries will also be released for the system. It’s not a new game, though; rather, it takes the popular “bonus” game modes (and maps) from Resident Evils 4…
Osaka-based studio Capcom is already working on Super Street Fighter IV and Resident Evil for the Nintendo 3DS. That’s not all. The company has revealed that the Mega Man Legends 3 Project is in development for the Nintendo 3DS. “We have wanted to create a new installment in this series for a number of years,”…
Ever wonder why there were no Game Boy games made available on the Wii’s Virtual Console? Why, it’s because Nintendo was saving that for the upcoming 3DS. The company revealed at its 2010 press conference earlier today that the 3DS will have its own Virtual Console, from which you’ll able to download both Game Boy…

The 3DS will retail there for ¥25,000 (USD$300). Two colours will be available at launch: “Aqua Blue” and “Cosmos Black”…
Finally delivering on something that really should have been made available last year, Nintendo today revealed a new controller that combines the original Wii Remote and its add-on, Wii MotionPlus, in the same casing. This confirms reports from earlier in the week that such a device was incoming. The new controller is called the Wii…
At the Nintendo Conference 2010 in Tokyo, the company has shown off the final, retail design of the upcoming 3DS handheld. And…it’s almost exactly the same (a colour change to the analog nub notwithstanding)! Not really that big a surprise, since the model present at E3 not only looked “final”, but also went down well…
At the Makuhari Messe in Chiba, Japan, Nintendo is expected to reveal details about its upcoming portable, the Nintendo 3DS.
